 |
|
Hi All new here,
Can you help?
I am using CS5 and have an Epson 7880 printer windows 7 64bit. When I crop an image in Photoshop at say 512mm x 512 mm (20"x20") one side will print at the correct size but the other will print about 5mm smaller.
I always use the crop tool and enter my dimensions in the width and height box and enter 300 dpi in the resolution box.
I have been trying to work out why it is doing this but can't.
Any help would be great.
Thanks |

That's weird. I haven't encountered this before. If you did put the height and width on the boxes it should have printed it according to those inputs. Might be a problem with your printer. It might have misaligned print head or soemthing. If I where you I would use another printer just to isolate the root of the problem, If it is the printer or photoshop. |

Hi. I started getting this problem yesterday, and after a play around discovered that turning off Enable OpenGL Drawing in the Performance section of Preferences did the trick. Hope this helps. |

hi,
just comments,
1. great you found a fix but alsothankyou for letting us know it will be usefull to others...
2. I was just about to suggest to check for updated drivers and check on the opengl ... before i saw your reply... I have seen this issue before, and it most of the time it comes down to those two in fact just a few days ago a person had a similar issue... and i recommended those suggestions but they haven't reported back
3. Iam curious ... does your graphic card support opengl??? if so was it enable in the graphic card setting?? and it was just set in ps..?
I have seen several unusal issues with opengl depending on if the card has it or not and if it enable or not in ps...
4. final question any idea why it just stated to give you this issue??? was thier a recent update of the card firmware or ps??? or some other update/program installed.. |
