I don’t know why I didn’t join this sub sooner. I work in printing and I need to VENT! And I need advice! How do you all deal with people that don’t know anything about printing or WORSE think they know everything about printing???? I have been in this industry for two years and with ai it’s only getting worse! No I cannot print your ai slop it has no bleeds!!!! And it’s a screenshot!!!

I work at a small business so we do commercial and personal work and man. I don’t think people realize how specific and temperamental print production is. And it’s not even just files. I had someone today who wants to bring in their own paper but won’t let us test it first! How on earth am I supposed to know if it will work then? By magic?????

Looking to buy a printer and make all my stationery at home. I need a printer that can do cardstock, photo paper, sticker paper. Looking for a printer that is user friendly and has great ink quality

Hi,

Let's say I want to print an A5 comic book.

I make it monochrome (1-bit, no anti-aliasing) as it's black and white.

I set it to 600dpi. It looks smooth and nice.

Then I go to the printer, but they ask me a 300dpi file.

So I need to resize and export it, and downsample it.
What am I supposed to choose?

• Nearest neighbour: jagged lines, details lost, bust still sharp black and white.
• Bicubic / Bilinear: smooth, but it's now greyscale, no sharp lines, possible artifacts.

I have not found a straight answer to this, despite a long research.

Bonus question: Should I also draw it bigger, at A4 600dpi?

lo que sucede es que voy a crear mi emprendimiento y necesito donde imprimir tarjetas profesionales y que sea online en madrid españa y que sea confiable, no quiero salir estafada

I'm a hobbyist bookbinder, I'm trying to print a book on a5 paper to then fold to a6, however my printer which is a Canon MF-462dw II keeps saying I'm out of paper despite having a good amount of a5 paper in there. I know very little about printers, does anyone have any tips or explanations?

What is this jagged line on my printed image? Pixma g3411. I've performed deep cleaning and aligned the heads, but still have this little quirk. Thanks
