Printing Large Files - Problems
2001-08-16 by Michael J. Kravit
Recently I noticed that if I try to print a large file through the Epson driver the image gets truncated and only 2/3 of it is printed. It is almost as if the printer just stops printing. To clarify, I have a 150mb image with a size of 20x20. I resize w/o re-sampling to 7x7. The image file size therefore remaims the same. I convert to RGB, apply the applicable curve and print. At this point because of the RGB conversion the image size grows. I print to the 7000. The printer prints 3/4 of or 2/3 of the image and then stops and ejects the paper. Has anyone seen this type of behavior? It it a limitation in the Epson driver? Mike Michael J. Kravit, AIA Architect/Photgrapher Boca Raton, Florida www.kravit.net/photography
