[Graphicdetailsinc]

I am trying to print a large ciy map, and i need all the detail i can get for the street names.

Due to the 'texture' and nature of vinyl, I doubt that you will gain detail from 1440 over 720 on this media with equal profiles at each resolution.

i also have gloss paper, maybe ill print on that.

However when i send a print at 1440x1440 it generates the job file, rips the image then says printing, the printer will make like 1 or to passes then stop, and not continue.....

what error messages are you getting.

Have you checked diagnositics in your print server?

 

[Graphicdetailsinc]

not getting any error messages it just stops printing and noting happens

Voltage adjustment likely needed.

If the quality is not in the file, 1440 will not improve the image. 720x720 would be more than enough for most everything and just print high quality.

the file is 600dpi at actual size so i think the detail is there, i just need to get it to print 1440. i have gotten it to make a few passes and the clarity of the tiny text is greatly improved, i just cant get it to do more than about 5 passes

sounds more like you have a memory problem or network issues with the larger file sizes.

 

[Graphicdetailsinc]

maybe... i have 3gb of ram and a seperate HD just for a scratc disk, and i have never had any issues sending vehicle wrap files that exceed 1gb in size...

 

[Graphics2u]

That should be plenty of Memory.

Hey, if you keep having problems - What substrate do you need it on? I can do photo paper with my 44" Epson, and it'll be nice and sharp.

 

[jiarby]

if the file is 600dpi what does printing it at 1440 get you?

600dpi is all there is in the file, right?

IMHO, more pixels printed per pixel of detail can help things somewhat... Personally, with the Epson, I generally print at 1440 instead of 2880, because it seems like it sharpens a little...

Whats the final size of the print?

Hi Randya,

What media do you recommend to print at 1440 ?

ivivid papers

I use the matte with their flexi profiles on a Valuejet and it prints with great colors and detail.

Make it it own fume hood room. Small room, with a nice door, and an exhaust fan blowing outside. With the door closed, the exhaust fan will have air leaking around the outside (you can test with a cig or incense or a special high dollar "test stick" if you work for a large corporation...).

 

[randya]

ivivid, Magic both have photopapers that can showcase 1440.

Better output with higher re

if the file is 600dpi what does printing it at 1440 get you?

600dpi is all there is in the file, right?

The RIP software interpolates the file and you actually get a better image. The rip more or less fills in-between the pixels with the combined colour.


See attached files . The higher resolution file was taken from the lower resolution file.
But in order to see the difference. Drag the images into Corel and compare.
