.tif high res save?
A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from
!"... I am baffeled as to how i may save my created bussiness card to a 300 dpi .tif . It will save as a 96 dpi by default. but my printing company said it comes out too grainy due to the low Res. Publisher 2002 can only save to a 96dpi TIF file. Publisher 2003 can output 300 dpi TIF files. I would suggest creating a PDF file and sending that to your printers instead, or using a program such as SnagIt to convert your publication to a high-res image. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |

They take a bit of work to setup, but they're great to have handy. Here are the instructions. I've tested this on Win2K and XP. 1) Install Ghostscript. If you use the defaults, it will be in C:\GS. If not, you will need to adapt the instructions to match your path. You can get Ghostscript from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ghostscript/gs814w32.exe?download ------Instructions for TIFF printer 2) Create a plain text file called TIFF.RSP with the following lines and save it in C:\GS -Ic:\gs\gs8.14;c:\gs\fonts -sDEVICE=tiff24nc -r300x300 -dSAFER 3) Go to Start-Settings-Printers and choose "Add Printer" 4) Install a "Local Printer" but do NOT let Windows detect plug-and-play 5) Choose "Create a new port" and select "Redirected Port" as the type 6) Give it the name of "TIFF:" 7) Pick a Postscript printer. I use the Apple Color LW 12/660 PS and tell it to "Keep existing driver" (if it asks) 8) Change the printer name to "Tiff File". You probably don't want it to be your default printer and you don't want to share it. 9) Don't print a test page, you aren't quite done yet. It should now be listed in your printers list. You just need a couple more steps. 10) Right-Click on it and choose "Properties" 11) Go to the "Ports" tab and choose "Configure Port" 12) Enter c:\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32c.exe in the "redirect this port to the program" field. 13) Enter @c:\gs\tiff.rsp -sOutputFile="%1%%02d.tif" - in the "arguments for this program" field. Do NOT forget the spacedash at the end. If you want a multipage TIFF instead of one file per page, do not include the "%%02d" text. 14) Under "Output" select "Prompt for filename" 15) You are DONE! You can now pick "Tiff File" as a printer and it will ask you what file name. If you want higher resolution, change the "-r300x300" in the RSP file. -------Instructions for JPG printer 2) Create a plain text file called JPG.RSP with the following lines and save it in C:\GS -Ic:\gs\gs8.14;c:\gs\fonts -sDEVICE=jpeg -r300x300 -dJPEGQ=85 -dSAFER 3) Go to Start-Settings-Printers and choose "Add Printer" 4) Install a "Local Printer" but do NOT let Windows detect plug-and-play 5) Choose "Create a new port" and select "Redirected Port" as the type 6) Give it the name of "JPG:" 7) Pick a Postscript printer. I use the Apple Color LW 12/660 PS and tell it to "Keep existing driver" (if it asks) 8) Change the printer name to "JPG File". You probably don't want it to be your default printer and you don't want to share it. 9) Don't print a test page, you aren't quite done yet. It should now be listed in your printers list. You just need a couple more steps. 10) Right-Click on it and choose "Properties" 11) Go to the "Ports" tab and choose "Configure Port" 12) Enter c:\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32c.exe in the "redirect this port to the program" field. 13) Enter @c:\gs\jpg.rsp -sOutputFile="%1%%02d.jpg" - in the "arguments for this program" field. Do NOT forget the spacedash at the end. 14) Under "Output" select "Prompt for filename" 15) You are DONE! You can now pick "JPG File" as a printer and it will ask you what file name. If you want higher resolution, change the "-r300x300" in the RSP file. You can change the JPG quality setting by changing the "-dJPEGQ=85" line. 85 = 85% and 100 = best quality, but I haven't noticed a difference (besides a much bigger file) Eric |
