The duotone image file is used to realize this capability.

What is the duotone image file?

This tutorial provides you the answer.

Adobe Photoshop is the photo editting software. Adobe Illustrator is the graphic design software.

Both of them are very popular among professionals but are difficult to master.

To make the file creation simple, in this tutorial, only essential procedures are selected.

If you have never used Photoshop, we recommend affordable Photoshop Elements which is designed for beginners.

Note: In this tutorial, we use Illustrator /Photoshop CS4.

Choose Image > Adjustment > Threshold.

The image should be displayed in black and white.

The image should not be too white or black. Find the appropriate level by moving a slider.

Click "OK" and save the best threshold.

Illustrator is used for finishing the file creation.

Click Rectangular from Tool box.

Measure a product that will be printed and draw an outline of it.

In this tutorial, a smartphone case is measured and drawn.

Stack the rectangular image over the duotone image.

Make sure that the rectangular image, shape of a product that will be printed, is at the top of layers.

Select two image layers and right click then select Make Clipping Mask.

The image is clipped same shape as the smartphone case.

Create a color image file after the duotone image.

Ive upgraded the driver and the usb drivers. Ive set all the root hubs to now shut down the power and I have also changed, shortened and tried several differnt usb cables including new ones that are only a meter long.

There is a few other things you can try Mo

I take it your pc is dedicated to the rip only and running no AV software and no other usb peripherals as this can interfere with the rip sending to the printer.

Also if your using win7 try using xp or even win2k as that is rock solid, some might see this as a backward step but if the pc is dedicated to a rip function only then its no problem providing the rip runs on those operating systems, also try putting a anti surge protector on both the PC and printer.

Which is roughly the error message I get fom rasterlink when it drops the info and stops the printer. Something about error, a device attached o the system is not working then error GetOverlappedResult

Mo

might be worth while getting a sparky in, the fact that items on different circuits are affecting each other may mean you have a bad connection back at the fuse panel. This could be a loose wire in the incomer or bus bar etc but best to get a good sparky in before any real damage is caused

I have this problem with my JV33 it just stops randomly printer appears to be waiting for info but none is flowing.

Looking at some of the cooments you have had back could be spike in electric but we have nothing obveious and had the problem at our previous unit, cheap printheads not likely as we are still on original printheads.

RIP issue woulkd seem unlikely as I use Wasatch, so possably something on printer or I think the problem is my PC as when this problem starts I clean the PC and do not normally see the problem again for ages.

When I say that I clean the pc what I do is I go into internet explorer select options and deleate all history, I then go into system tools and select the cleanup pc option and select everything. When that has finished I then run diskdefrag. if it is really bad I also run chkdsk/f from a command promt to schedule a clean on next start.
