12 Ten Rules for Printing Files
File Format
• The SprinterB printer can only print TIFF BMP files, in 50/200/400
dpi resolution and 4 CMYK separations.
• You can create TIFF files in PhotoShop (or any other graphic
software) and import them directly from the SprinterB software. In
this case you have to create the file in 50 dpi and the exact final size.
• If you want a higher resolution (200/400 dpi) and better vector and
text output, we recommend you to create files for RIPping in
PhotoPrint Server (PPS).
• PPS accepts TIFF, JPG, PDF, PS, EPS, and BMP files and RIPs them
to 4 CMYK TIFF BMP files.
The most recommended file format for RIPping in PPS is PostScript
(PS). The PS preserves a lot of information such as resolution, fonts,
colors and more.
For further information see the Creating a P.S. File For RIPping
section in the Creating a TIFF File in PhotoShop chapter.
• We also recommend you to apply Over Print and Color Trapping
commands to the file.
For further information see the Using Over Print and Trapping
Commands section in the Creating a TIFF File in PhotoShop chapter.
Image Size
Because you are dealing with big images and artworks when using the
wide format SprinterB, you will often discover that you need to reserve
some hard disc space and time when RIPping and importing files.
Therefore, you don’t always have to specify the highest resolution and size.
• If the image’s resolution is high (about 300dpi), the size can be about
50% of the final result.
• If the image’s resolution is low (about 50/72dpi), the image has to be
in the final size (100%).
•
In either case, we recommend you to enlarge the image within
graphic software (like Freehand and Illustrator) and not in
PhotoShop.
• The image has to be in CMYK color mode.
•
PPS can RIP a file to CMY. However, you can produce a file as CMY
in PhotoShop as follows:
• Convert to RGB mode (if it’s already in CMYK mode)
• Open File > Color Setting > CMYK Setup.
• From the popup menu, choose None Black Generation and click OK.
The image will remain as CMYK, but the black channel will be empty.
Note that after converting, if you don't want all your pictures to be CMY from now
on, you should change back to CMYK.
