RE: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR won't load image (11x14 1440 dpi)

2006-07-17 by Stephen Billard

That's a pretty big file! On my system I get an error from QTRgui saying it was
unable to create the TIFF buffer. You don't have enough system resources to open
the image. 

By the way, QTR does not size the image to 1440 dpi before printing, that
happens during the printing. Also, dots per inch (DPI) is different from Pixels
Per Inch (PPI) which is what you resized to. Printers lay down many dots for
each pixel they print. This is how they create the grey scale.

Your images don't need to be more than 360 or perhaps 730 ppi for printing.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR won't load image (11x14 1440 dpi)

I'm using 2.41 in Windows 2000 Pro and have just started upsizing my images in
Photoshop 7 to 1440 dpi before printing, rather than have QTR do it. This has
worked fine on 4x5" test images but I've just tried loading an 11x14" image and
QTR won't load it. When I select the image, nothing happens (e.g. there's no
preview, no sign that QTR has loaded the image). If I click <Print> I get the
error message "Unable to create TIFF Bitmap buffer."

Any ideas?
