Photoshop and printing

[RockLinks]

Hi guys,

Due to unforseen circumstances i need to print some tickets of for a gig asap. Ive done a basic text design in photoshop but not sure of the best way to print it. If i export the image as a PDF it will only print one ticket per page but i need to print a few on each page to save paper!

Any help would be great

Thanks

Craig

What kind of printer are you printing it on?

Hi,

Set the canvas size to the size of an A4, then copy and paste the artwork multiple times to fit on the page, then output to PDF?

a : Import your image into a program which has ready made a4 templates for printing. ( M$ office , openOffice ).(.jpg will be fine)

b: Do the above in Photoshop by calculating the page size , duplicate the picture 'layers' to fill the page. ( taking onto account dpi etc.... )

Either way , assume that there will be a millimetre or two of miss-alignment so plan for this in the design and avoid thin exact borders etc.

In many cases the software that the printer runs of has a tiling option, I assume yours doesn't, you might need to go into preferences to find this out.

All sorted, thanks guys!

Photo Shop is not designed for text work. It is a vector based photo manipulation program and as such is very likely to make the text pixelated. You really should be using a program such and In design or Quark express. Failing that get a copy of Publisher ( publisher will be no good to you if you ever want to take a job to a professional printer )

As for printing it a few up on the page, nothing could be simpler. Just use the Photoshop tools to dup it up before you save it to a PDF. Then you will have a file that will print out multiple copies for you.
