Photoshop :: Prints From DesignJet Z6200PS Distorting When Sent From CS 5.1?
Apr 22, 2013
the top image is printed from Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 57" wide and 137" tall to an HP DesignJet Z6200PS 60" color inkjet plotter. The print preview shows that the image looks good and should come out correctly (as the lower image did when printed to a DesignJet Z6200PS as a .PDF file from Adobe Acrobat Reader).
Why is the image printing correctly as a .PDF from Acrobat Reader but not as a JPEG from Photoshop CS 5.1 (same source image)?
I have an HP DesignJet T1200. We are using AutoCad Civil 3D to plot large files that were exported from PLS CAD. These files contain multiple ECW's that average 5-10 megs each. Is there a customization we need to set to get the plotting time down.
Currently it takes 8-10 min for AutoCad to process the plot and once it is sent it takes another 8-10 min for the plotter to start plotting.This is telling me that there is something wrong with our setup. (see below)
workstations = DELL T3500 with Windows XP Pro; Intell Xeon 320GHz; Nvidia Quadro 4000/2g onboard RAM; 4g system RAM
Plotter = HP DesignJet T2100 on network
We usually have projects that contain 150-200 drawings that we need to work on and plot per project. This plotting time is killing our productivity!
I have just recently started experiencing printing problems to my HP Designjet T1100 with 2007 LT. This issue started about a 2 weeks ago. When trying to print out a large scale drawing it terminates about 1/4 of the way through the print. There are no errors on the printer or in the print manager.
To date I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2007 LT; updated the printer firmware; updated the printer software driver.
how to distort some lines of text. I have a 3D-looking image. It's a box where the top surface appears to get smaller as it moves back. I am trying to draw a bounding box on the top surface, and then distort the bounding box so that my text will appear to have the proper perspective. However, I cannot access the distort command under "edit" after I've drawn the box or when there is type in the box. All I can is distort the type. But this won't allow me to properly match the perspective. I need to somehow distort the bounding box (independently control all four corners) and then have the type size accordingly.
I am trying to plot a layout sheet 24'' W x 18" H. The frame on my sheet is 22''W x 16''L (inside the dash lines limits we see on the layout). I believe I prepare the print correctly:
- Select the printer (HP DESIGN JET PS) - I use the window fonction to select the printable area ( left upper corner and then the opposite corner). - Select Paper size Arch C (landscape) - Paper orientation: Lansdcape
The preview shows that the upper and bottom lines of my frame will not print, and they do not, even if I try (see the attachement below).
I just received 2013 lt and want to know the best solution for setting up a HP Designjet 750c Plus to begin plotting. Apparently there is no support from HP for Windows 7 drivers. I'm no expert but what I've read it seems that I can use the HDI driver. Go slow since this i new to me.
I've found that photoshop is distorting the image when resizing. If you have an image and you duplicate the layer, then with the bottom layer set its size (by free transform) to 99% (width and height), then set the top layers opacity to 50%, the image should be evenly blurred but it's not. It is in focus in the middle and blurred around the edges.
I have a graphic which I need to distort to follow the shape of a pen. I have tried wrapping it but it begins to mess with the flow of the type. I have CS6 Extended and am trying to come up with a solution that works. I need the graphic itself shaped and on its own layer, not applied to a created cylinder. Attached is a simple example of what I am trying to do. I am very knowledgeable in Photoshop but Extended is new to me.

I have been shooting several images of architectural interiors and stitching them together and the attached image is the result I get. I would like to be able to distort, or stretch the center of the image up and down without effecting the left and right ends of the image.
I have a photoshop file and the dominant color is blue, however then I am saving it as gif or jpg, the blue turns in to purple I am not sure why, I've checked all the settings and I am not sure what is causing it, see attachments for clarity, blue.jpg is what the photoshop file looks like purple.jpg is what it looks like then saved as jpg,
Any way I can distort a path in Illustrator like in PS. You know I must accept the changes I made. In Photoshop, I allowed to move this 4 points before I press the check button. But in Illy only 1 point can move and it will automatically accepted it.
I just bought a HP Designjet Z3100. And I can’t get the colors right. Everything looks great on the screen but then I print I get this ugly strong light green color. I have really tried different settings without success I have also tried X4 and X5 with the same result.
Everything is ok if I export the file to PDF and then print, but then I print from the cdr file its get very ugly.
I have the same problem with other printers but then I change the printer’s own settings to Saturation in the color settings.
I have uploaded some files to: [URL] ...
CDR file = This is one example of the files I can’t print.
PDF output = The same file as the CDR that looks good then I print it.
ugly green = This is how the print looks like (I get these colors then I use my Nitro PDF printer)
Let me first say that I love using clipping path jpegs made in Photoshop. They can be used in InDesign of course, batched and converted to other formats which need transparency, and so on... The one irritating part is that there's no easy way to distort or scale the clipping path and image together after the file has been created, or at least not that I'm aware of.
For example, I'm working on a piece of furniture which already contains a clipping path, but the client wants the image straightened (or, the perspective from the camera removed, which I don't like actually). So, is there an easier/faster way to do this instead of having to first distort the image, then manually try to line up the clipping path, or worse, remake the clipping path?
I opened an old file, probably from photoshop 7 or something, where I was using 'warp text' - just a simple 6 degree arc. Now, in CS4, I attempt to change the text written, or make any changes at all to the type, and the font becomes distorted. It doesn't matter what font, and it does it from scratch as well as editing existing warped text. Did my warp feature become corrupted somehow?
Printing pdf's to an HP Designjet 1055 using the new Acrobat X version. I can't change the page size from 8.5x11and nothing comes out at the 1055. Works fine to our Xerox 6204 printers. Looks like I could be going back to Acrobat 9.4...
I've been attempting to combine various AVI clips into one large video using VS Pro X3 and I'm noticing that the beginning of each clip seems distorted. Actually, distorted is probably not the correct term for what I'm seeing. It looks like the main image is in the background and a smaller cropped version is superimposed in the middle of it. This issue only seems to be happening right at the beginning of each video clip. After about 5 - 10 seconds of the clip being played, the image corrects itself and it's fine.
Not sure I can post an screen capture of the problem here.
I am having a problem when exportng a file as a pdf. A jpg image that I am using distorts. This is a high res file and I have tried exporting with both the 'high quality print' and 'press quality' presets.
I have tried printing directly from illustrator and the image looks great, when I print from the pdf the image looks disorted.
I have attached an image to show what I mean, the image on the left is from the pdf.
When we were using X4 on Vista I had no problems with the graphic distorting. Since we moved our system over to Windows 7 we have had major problems, sometimes when we get art work the logo's will gradually distort to the point they are unrecongizable.
Even if we try and replace the logo with a new copy the same thing will happen. I have a legit copy of X4.
Most people are telling us its because the logo's we receive are corrupted but that doesnt seem to be the factor.
I have this huge dwg file. Every time I try to use the print to PDF option my image is completely distorted when it is converted to PDF. All of the detail in the image becomes big solid black lines. Is there a way that I can convert the dwg file into a pdf file without distorting the image.
I have jpg images I want to appear like open book pages. I don't want just a corner turning along one edge but to have the image look like an open book page.
I want to visualize a song on a easter egg edges, which are curved. So, my question is how do i curve Audio spectrum without distorting it like with Polar Coordinates?
We used to use version 4 at work and loads of images drawn, my boss has converted to version 12 but when we open the drawings now all the text is in the wrong place and too big etc.
I have been given the task of fixing them all and wondered if there was an easy fix rather than clicking on each text box and changing each bit one by one, sitting with my fingers crossed.
