RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Help printing gradient from Photoshop

2018-09-08 by Dwight Lindsey

I created a 8 ½ x 11 gradient, 16 bit, Greyscale.

Saved it as a TIFF with no compression.

Now I get an error message “Unable to create TIFF Bitmap buffer”.

What to do?

Thanks!

Dwight

That is probably the issue, needs to be 16 bit at creation time and print out as 16 bit. Don’t covert to 16 bit, it will not help. Stay away from JPEGs too, bad file format, destructive. The printing DPI looks good. Also make sure you have no printer issues, check the nozzles and alignment.
