trouble printing long banner
I am trying to Print out a 4ft X 80Ft banner…the files is around 2 to 2.5 Gigs…I was built in Illustrator 12…I had them make a PDF and Eps file of the original Illustrator file(file is 1/5th the original size)…I went to rip file in Postershop 6.5 and it opened preflight up, I told it what material, size I wanted it and everything else that was needed to be done in preflight..then it error-ed out:
error message was: %%[height to large: reduce by factors of 2]%%
%%[error checklimit:offending command @ showpage]%%I am not sure what that means…Did I have designer prepare file the right way..if not, could anybody give me some pointer on how to fix this problem…
Thanks,

at a guess i would say Poster shop has a preset roll length & your design is outside of those dimensions. Just my thoughts, i would be curious as to how long it takes a 2.5 gig file to rip.Kev

I already changed the presets for material roll..thought of that when the error poped up the first time…
thanks for the thought though

Roland I was wondering if you know anything about this…

sounds like a memory problem in your printer Josh.
I had a similar problem with my Roland some time back.
The roland rep told me to send my file at 25% of actual size, and let the rip do the muliplication by 400% at ripping.
Never had a problem since, except when I forget and tried to RIP a big file again.
The error message seems to indicate it wants it at 50% size to the rip?
I rip 1.5gb files but any bigger and I have to go the reduction route.
Hope that helps.
