Hey everyone,
I'm printing 44x44 images into canvas- each file being approximately 22mb. I am using a firewire epson stylus 9800 printer.
I have been printing using photoshop with two computers, a 15" Powerbook g4 1.67ghz 2gbram, OS10.2.?, and a 12" iBook G4 800ghz, 640mb ram, OS 10.3.9. The total time from clicking print to completion on the powerbook is approximately 47 minutes. The ibook, 55 minutes.
I have purchased a 15" macbook pro 2.16ghz 2gb ram. I have not printed off of this comptuer yet, but I'm assuming it will be a bit faster than both. My question is if there is a better program to print from than photoshop? For instance, a universal binary program? Speeding up print time improves the quality of my prints and efficiency of my business. I suppose the question boils down to: What is the fastest way to print on canvas using a macbook pro?
