Quark Forums

 Hello,

I am working on a desing for some roller banners. I am setting up the background graphic in photoshop at 450dpi and am importing it into the quark set up which is at 50% the actual size. Trouble is that quark won't show the graphic when imported and when exported as a pdf it is not visible. There is no warning on low memory. I beleive that the cache is great enough to cope. The graphic itself is around 500Mb. Is this a system problem or a software limitation?

I tried working down from the 450dpi in steps reducing the dpi of the graphic until it was down to 300dpi which does show up. I would like to give it that extra bit by having it at a higher dpi. Do I need to?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

 What is the actual finished size of  your banners?

I often do artwork for display banners where the end size is a width/height of 2 or 3 metres.

If they include Photoshop images, I usually do them in Illustrator with a dpi of 300 and always do them at  half size. (In fact most printers specifically ask for this, and don't want full-size)

I wonder if you are doing your artwork bigger than is necessary
