Print PS Points VS mm

I have layout and design all in millimeters, but I use points (pt) for the dimensions of cast and race of widths. With the help of different units may complicate the process of layout a little, so I thought about using millimeters width line instead, with maximum a decimal, 0.25pt-> 0.1 mm, 0.5pt-> 0.2 mm, 1 pt-> 0.5 mm etc.

What I was wondering is: are there possible complications printing when you use millimeters and printing, for example, a line of 0.1 mm, which equals 0.283465... PT, as the lines blur or ghost etc.. ?

I think if behave fractions of points similar to fractions of a pixel post script (don't go crazy pixel comparison, I know the difference), for example a 1pt line will still print sharp, but a 0.168721... PT line could print differently depending on several factors such as pilots, etc.

Also, are there effects or complications if I switch to millimeters for the sizing of fonts?

Printing is not my strong side; It is too difficult to understand. It feels like you need a doctorate in print to get the desired result, and that's after getting a doctorate in color management.

A 'dot', for the purposes of production, is the unit of resolution for a given output device - for example the point for a 600 dpi laser printer is 1/600th of thumb.

I refer generally to this regarding the midtones of the image - I had a standard explanation of translation pixels vs points (output) against the tasks (printer) - but in this case, we could refer to them with regard to the "Uni" output how many points would be a line width. For example, this line of 2mm wide would result in 5,669 points, or 47.241666... exit points.

Fractions do not count, because the output device cannot print part of an exit point. It will print one, or it may not. So, which rounds up to 47 wide exit points. Or towers up to 48.

So, literally, you cannot print a line of 2mm on a 600 dpi laser printer. It's a lie. But it's a very small lie.

A line from 47 out point turns into a line that looks like 1.98966582 mm wide. A 48 exit dot is 2,032 mm wide line. Your eye will never tell the difference, nor will a rule placed at the top. So, it is safe to accept that little lie, that in both cases, a Variant de.04233418 mm between exit points is inconsequential, and in both cases, it is safe to call it a wide line of 2mm.

If less of 5 hundredths of mm is unacceptable, you can make the margin closer by running work on an imagesetter to 3600 dpi. I would like to do the math on that, but it would make my head ache. I became a designer because I hated math... that maths are still an integral part of the company, if I want to be a good.

So to accept these lies make life a heck of a lot easier and stops to make my head ache. I hope this helps.

  • HP Officejet pro 8100 cannot wifi access point?

    Yesterday, my HP Officejet pro 8100 arrived and I try to connect via wifi. I thought that it need access to infrastructure to print via wifi.

    When I turned on the printer I osserved that he create a stand-alone gateway with SSID: HP-Setup-7 a-Officejet Pro with IPv4 server address, etc...

    I was very happy and I printed a page with my smartphone samsung s4 directly connected printer access point (no wifi direct wifi except standard).

    Has been held today has changed, but I can't use printer with its own point of access, but only with an external wifi access point.

    Can someone help me, please? It could be a hardware problem?

    Thank you

    Luca

    P.S. to the webserver I checked 'connectivity point of access' (di accesso instradamento wireless in Italian Punto) is checked.

    Hello lucait

    You are right that the Hp Officejet PRo 8100 is a single function printer which does not directly optional wireless. You can always do what you want to do, but you will need a router to connect the printer to a network, and from there you can use the network routers or set up the feature ePrint for your portable devices.

    I hope this solves your post. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. It has been a pleasure. Have a great day!

  • Windows cannot connect to the printer. The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.

    A Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32-bit computer is a field, the file and print server.

    A computer on the domain is a machine of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit with HP DesignJet 500 24 printer connected via USB.  The printer is running the latest firmware.  The PC is running the latest 64-bit drivers with no problems to the host machine printing.  The host also has the latest drivers 32-bit (x 86) installed by downloading by other computers on the network.  The printer is configured to share with the share name of HPDJ500.

    Now, on a machine Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit on the field, I'm trying to connect to the shared printer.  Add a printer > click Next in the wizard of > check "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and then click Next > click on "Find a printer in the directory", then click Next > click Find now > HPDJ500 in the list below (the XP machine can see the shared printer on the Windows 7 computer!) and click OK.  At this point, I get an error that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help. »

    Alternatively, if I right-click on the HPDJ500 printer listed, then click on connect, I get the same error message but I also see a separate window that says "Connecting to HPDJ500 on H2.ws.net" with the lively projector.  This window also disappears as soon as I clear the error message.

    Please note that this printer worked perfectly as a printer shared, hosted on a machine XP 32 bit on the field.  It works perfectly for the new Windows 7 64-bit machine, but we cannot connect from anywhere else on the network (including the server which translates the same exact error message).  On the server, I also preinstalled drivers thinking there was a problem with a 32-bit computer, trying to grasp the correct drivers from the host 64-bit Windows 7, but that doesn't change anything.

    How connect to this printer?

    Try using the path UNC path of the printer in the Add Printer Wizard.

    Add a printer > network printer > connection to this printer ((deuxieme point)

    Click next to browse (leave blank, the name field) or type the UNC path of the printer (i.e. \\Computername\Printername) path

  • DeskJet F4280 flashing Orange and "E" on the screen. refuses to print

    I have a HP DeskJet F4280 all-in-one printer.  It worked well for several years.  Today I went to print something and the printer did not respond at all.  I have printed many times before from this computer and it has always worked well.  There are several computers in my home using this printer, running under Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu Linux and all have historically worked well.

    On the control panel of the printer, there is a light under the ink level for the black cartridge blinking orange.  In addition, there are an 'E' in the display number (photo below).  Read the support forums, I managed to get it printed some kind of test page with these listed errors:

    • 1 pen in chute 1 is of unsupported type
    • 1 pen in chute 1 has put illegal region
    • 1 pen in chute 1 has bad locking bits

    I've attached a scan of this full page below.

    The ink cartridge is a genuine cartridge HP 60 XL.  The cartridge was filled once at a mall location "ink."  It works very well since being filled, until today.  I managed to print a page of a print job that I've put on hold and it looked very nice.  So there is definitely nothing wrong with the cartridge.

    I tried to replace the black cartridge with an old empty cartridge I had lying around the House.  This corrected the error reported on the control panel of the printer.  Since the cartridge is empty, when he tried to print something from that page came still Virgin, but at least the orange light stopped flashing.  When I put the problem cartridge in the printer started pointed out the error once again, with the amber light flashes and the "E" on the screen.

    How can I fix my printer to accept this black cartridge?  I don't want much out and blow $60 on a new cartridge when the one I have is quite good.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi denversc and natsemioldskul.

    The blinking light under the black ink indicator means it has not detected the ink cartridge. That means the cartridge is empty or gone bad. The 'E' error means that the printer detects something wrong with one of the cartridges.

    http://goo.GL/2lQQS

    In the case of denversc, as put in a black cartridge empty old deleted the 'E' error, the problem is with the cartridge. With the help of a charged cartridge may or may not have caused the problem. See the following link for more information on this topic:

  • Owners of printer inkjet all-in-one Dell 962 thread (W7)

    Please follow the instructions below and then tell me what happens.

    Make sure that your computer has the latest Windows updates, especially of .net framework, necessary to run many applications and the latest Java.

    Unplug your printer.

    Download and run this patch to completely remove the printer from your computer. Run the fix, a MUST on Vista machines, until it prompts you to restart your computer.

    If you use Windows 7 also try... Driver Manual printer removal

    Restart your computer.

    Download the correct drivers.

    XP drivers

    Vista 32-bit drivers

    All other drivers

    Vista 64-bit drivers

    Install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect you your printer (power on)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.

    If you use Windows 7, use the Vista drivers in compatibility mode.

    Right click on the file setup.exe, on the left, click Properties, compatibility of the left click. Replace the Vista compatibility (try Vista SP2). Then, install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect (printer)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.

    In the digitization, if you have the disc that came with the printer, and then insert the floppy disk to the printer and keep it from running. Go to my computer and double-click it. Locate the drive that contains the disk Dell inside. Right-click on it, left click Explore. Find the folder of the OCR. In the OCR folder, there is a folder of Abbyy. Right click on setup.exe, which is located in the folder Abbyy and left, click Run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.

    Scanning

    Scan using the USB connection, open the Dell all-in-one Center, click on the scan and copy and scan from there.

    Scan wireless, use the buttons to scan on the printer.

    Rick

    Rick,

    Thank you much for the help. I took your advice and installed the Vista SP2 drivers in compatibility mode, and when my laptop is connected to the printer via a USB cable, I can print.  Now, here's the best... Later, I decided to have the printer put in place for the wireless.

    I tried to add a Dell network port, and then pass.  Did not work.  I tried also to add another printer by pointing to a shared printer on an XP computer.  I noticed one thing, it is that when the Dell printer software installed and prompted me to plug the printer into my USB port, it appeared that Windows snuck into another driver.  I saw a message saying that the printer was ready before the Dell software were made.  I also noticed that when I tried to create a new Dell printer two print drivers were available.

    In any case, I followed your instructions to uninstall everything (ran program of uninstalling the Dell software, rebooted, ran the patch to clean, restarted), then ran the Dell program configuration of the software (in compatibility mode Vista x 64 SP 2) and chose an installation over the network instead of local installation. He saw the Dell printer on USB wireless adapter and installed fine.  Now, everything seems to work wireless.

    I guess my point of view for writing is to warn that when you plug the USB cable during installation of Dell, it seems that Windows 7 is going to sneak in another pilot.  I also advise to install over the network if you want to try to use it wireless, rather than starting with the local USB installation and hope to switch to a network port later.  Thanks again for your message.

  • HP Photosmart premium C410A fainted faded print

    Printer was purchased in July as an HP upgrade offer to a wireless printer. I use sometimes use the C410A as a printer, but my main printer is a HP Photosmart D7560 h.

    I use printer with 2 computers apple using OS10.7.2 (Lion) and an Ipad using ios5.1

    Recently, I replaced the cartridges that were original with the C410A with new cartridges. I start to meet very thirsty sun prints. I called the Help Center and they told me to do a cleaning of printheads and the next print was pointed dark and good quality. A few days later, I tried to print, and again, it was so dark that I couldn't read faded amd. I repeated the printhead, clean-up operation and the print quality improved for the most part, but not where it had been before. The following characters was dark and faded at the point of being unusable.

    I buy a 3-year service contract.

    Question: Other owners have similar problems with the C410A printer?

    Other than to go out and buy all new cartridges and start over?

    Troubleshooting steps here can help solve the problem, expecially the event check the Solution 6, step 3.  If this does not resolve the issue, see the post here.

    Using a B210a Photosmart of most HP - how to print PDF files duplex.  I can print Word etc documents this way but do not seem to have the option when you open a PDF file.

    Hello

    You could experience a page or two first.

    1. Choose file > print.

    2. in the pop-up menu of subset in the extended area, select Pages only.

    3. click OK or print.

    4. If the total number of pages is odd, add a blank page so the last odd page has a worksheet to print on.

    5. replace the stack of printed paper into the paper tray (source) so that the sides not printed print. Point the top of the pages to the printer. Make sure that the edges of the paper stack are square.

    6. Choose file > print and select odd Pages only in the subset menu.

    7. Select Invert Pages. In this scenario, the option reverse pages ensures that the page sequence is correct.
