Subject: Maximum Printable Area Limits for the EPSON Professional Graphic Printer line.

This bulletin was created to inform you of the maximum custom page sizes allowable for EPSON Professional Graphic products.

The tables below show the maximum page sizes allowable for the EPSON Professional Graphics printer line (Desktop and Large

Format). Although this document is meant as a guideline for the maximum page size allowable for each printer, it does not include

printable area (margin) information. Please refer to your user guide for additional information regarding the printable area (margins)

for your particular printer. There are 3 aspects that effect how long of a page your printer can output. Those 3 items are:

1. Operating System.

2. Driver Specification.

3. Software application(s) being used.

Maximum custom page size allowable per operating system (for Epson standard driver):

Print jobs being sent through the Epson standard print driver should be in the RGB format in order for color management to be

utilized properly.

* These applications allow for tiling of print pages, therefore allowing you to print beyond the printers maximum page length limit and print to the

applications limits. The printer driver must be set for Roll Paper (Banner) mode so that page breaks at the printer’s maximum page length do not occur (in

essence gives you a 0 margin for the bottom of the page). The Stylus Pro 5000/5500 however will give a slight page break at the 44 inch limit as these

printers do not support banner mode. Also, printing certain elements from these applications may not utilize color management correctly/properly and

may produce output color that is not expected.

NOTE 1: a. Under Win 9x/Me, the PPD limit is 129 inches.

b. Under Windows NT, 2000 and XP, the PPD limit is 1771.6 inches (SP7000/9000 Series) and 1800 inches

(SP7600/9600/10000 Series).

c. Under Mac OSX/8.x/9.x, the PPD limit is 273.06 inches.

NOTE 2:

Adobe Photoshop has a pixel limitation of 30,000 pixels, which means that a document created @ 300ppi can only

reach a maximum page size of 100 inches (H and V). When sending jobs to the printer via the standard non-

PostScript print driver, Photoshop looks at the input resolution of the printer driver and adjusts the page size

accordingly. All Epson large format printers use 360dpi as the input resolution (this is the resolution data is rasterized

at), therefore when printing from Photoshop, the maximum page length you will be able to output to any Epson large

format printer using the standard Epson print driver would be 83.33 inches (30,000 pixels / 360dpi). As for the Epson

desktop products, they rasterize data at 720dpi, therefore the maximum page length obtainable with the standard

print driver would be 41.67 inches (30,000 pixels / 720dpi).

Also, under Photoshop 5.x/6.x for the Macintosh and Photoshop 6.x for the PC, the job will end up clipped if it is over

the 83.3inch printer page limit. In Photoshop CS, the print job will end up clipped if it is over the 86inch printer page

limit; however it will allow you to create a custom paper size of 91inches max. If you are using Photoshop 5.x for the

PC, the print job will actually be truncated to fit within the printable area of the printer. Be advised that you may not get

a page size error. It may be useful to enable the “print preview’ function of your printer driver (if available) so that you

do not waste unnecessary media.

The only options for printing beyond the limitations is to save the file and print via an application that does not have

the 30,000 pixel limit (may lose color management functions) or print the file through a PostScript RIP (which will

allow for longer pages).

UPDATE: Photoshop CS allows for a maximum Pixel limit of 300,000 x 300,000 (this would create a 251.5 GB file!!)

This allows Photoshop to have a print dimension of 4166.666 x 4166.666 at 72 ppi (Pixels per Inch). At 360 ppi, your

max print size would be 833.333 x 833.333. You can still only print 44 x 90.5” Photoshop CS at this point exceeds

the capability of our printers.

For Windows Users, if you encounter partial/incomeplete prints while having Finest Detail enabled, please disable this

setting. It is recommended for low resolution text and line art to sharpen their edges. For photos, this may create a

massive print file that is too large for the printer driver to process correctly.

The following examples show how to setup banner printing from Adobe Illustrator 8.x/9.x and CorelDRAW 9 from the

PC platform. The Macintosh versions of these applications should be very similar in function. Please refer to your

software documentation for additional assistance.

Adobe Illustrator CS:

In this example, we are creating a banner, which is 227 inches (Illustrators max. page setup).

NOTE: Mac O/S 10.3.3 system is used in this example. Windows versions of this application should be very similar in

functionality. Please refer to your software documentation for additional assistance. In this example, a “20 inches

wide X 180 inches high” document is created.

1. Click on File and New, set up the width and height (sample shows 20 W x 180 H), then click OK.

2. Insert the image you want to print and stretch it until it covers the whole page.

3. Click on File, Print, click Setup, under Tiling click on the drop down arrow, select Tile Full

4. Pages and click the Printer button.

5. When the printer setup window comes up, select your printer name and set the Roll Paper Options to:

Roll Paper Banner

Roll Paper Banner – No Margin ( if printing no margins)

6. In the Copies and Pages section, click on the drop down arrow, select Roll Paper Option. Uncheck Auto

Cut then check Save Roll Paper.

7. Then click on Print. This will bring you back to the Print window.

8. This time click on Page Setup, you see the following screen, just click on Continue (If you don’t want to

see the window again, place a check mark on Don’t Show Again box).

9. When Page Setup is open, click on the down arrow for Custom Paper Size.

NOTE: When creating the custom page size, divide the banner size by a value that will make it less than the printer

maximum custom page size (90.5 inches). In this example we take (180/2 = 90), therefore the custom page

size created would be 20x90 (inches).

10.Click on New, name the custom size (i.e. 20 x 180 in this example), under Paper Size type in 20 inches for

the width and 90 inches for the height, margins should be set to zero (0). Click on Save. Click on the down

arrow again in the Custom Paper Size and select Page Attributes.

11. Under Paper Size, click on the drop down arrow and select the custom paper size you created

(i.e. 20 X 180) orientation is set to portrait mode. Then click OK.

12.In the Print windows the preview pane will show 2 grids or pages. This indicates that a full image is tiled.

13.Click on General, then click the square on Reverse Order.

4. Click on Print.
