How Print Large Images in Rasterlink

[Area51Graphix]

Hi guys!!

Maybe this is a dumb question but I´ve got a JV33-160 y today we have to print a banner of 1,50 x 12,00 mts. and when I try to charge the file to rasterlink nothing happens and the progams give an error.

Do I have to do something to the file before send it to rasterlink??

please help I have to print this file quick.

bye!!!

What kind of file is it you are trying to open. What did you design it in?

I have the best luck converting illustrator (.ai) files to .eps files, and Photoshop (.psd) to .tiff files - with layers flattened.

Give those two formats a try.

I make the image in photoshop and exported like TIFF to rasterlink, and nothing I dont know if theres something the I have to do to the image in photoshop before exported to rasterlink.

size it to the correct size first maybe?

What is the file size? I don't think you can open a file larger than 300mb try dropping the resolution to get the file size down and flatten the image try to open it as a psd

Haven't had any problems opening files over 300 mb in rasterlink, just flatten the layers, save as a .tiff and open with rasterlink.

I had a problem one time with a banner that was 5' x 40' had a bunch of high res pictures. It was going to be used as a trade show backdrop. I had to cut it in half in photoshop get both files around 290mbs and edit them together in rasterlink ended up with about a 1/6" white line in the center because I did not have the close enough.

Why you don't use pdf ?????

Why you don't use pdf ?????

Rasterling is not quite happy with PDF files, you can only open older pdf files

I use Rasterlink 4 on a jf1631 and i always use pdf files running CS5 and had not any problems yet.

I also use Rasterlink 4 and most of the time PDF never had any problem.
Last week recieved TIFF files from 540mb, it takes some time to render but had no problem printing. (Windows 7 - 64bit)
