Hi Bill, Perhaps I can help.
Have your client save the layout window as a .tif file and print it from PhotoShop (the $50.00 limited version works fine for this.) If MI Pro fails to produce the image, one can actually tile out the image by dividing the page size in quarters, and putting them back together again in PS. MI Pro v6.0 and up have limitations on the amount of pixels per image. They cannot exceed 9,000 X 9,000 pixels. In my experience, with aerial imagery as a backdrop, that's a 45" X 45" print at a more than acceptable 200 DPI. Hope this helps, feel free to call me if you need me to walk you through it: Ryan Morgan Aerials Express (480) 777-9909 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Thoen Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MI-L] Repeating bands in images on large size plots I have a client who has a problem with a logo image in a layout not printing properly in large size plots. What happens is that the image plots part way just fine, then it repeats the slice it just printed two more times. The result is that only the first third of the image is being output but it's being repeated to the edge of the frame. MI tech support didn't have any info on this problem but since there's over a thousand people out here on this list who work with MapInfo in a production environment every day, I'm hoping someone recognizes this problem and has come up with a fix for it. The environment is MI Runtime 7.0, Windows XP, HP 500 DesignJet 24", and the image is a jpeg. This problem seems to have occurred after a system crash about an month ago. Prior to that, it worked fine. And actually there is a workaround; if the plot is created as a PDF file, then that will print just fine. But since I vaguely remember seeing this problem once before, I'd like to know what's causing it, and how to fix it, if anyone knows. - Bill Thoen _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
