Working with File Print Mode

6.3.4.1 General Information

Only files of the formats ".jpg" (also JPEG 2000), ".bmp", uncompressed ".tif" files, and
".tif" files with LZW compression can be processed.
Each single file must not be bigger than 110 MB (".tif", ".bmp"; ".jpg" unpacked).
Larger files cannot be printed.
Note
jpg files are compressed files and need less memory space when compressed than
unpacked files. For printing they must be unpacked. The unpacked size of jpg-files
cannot be told by the (compressed) file size.
The quality of the prints depends on the relationship between resolution and print size:
Minimum
approx. 100 pixels per cm /
approx. 250 pixels per inch
Digital cameras provide Gamma values between 1.8 and 2.2. The Minilab prints with a
Gamma of 1.8.
Optimum results can be obtained when the print size is adapted to the aspect ratio of
the image. The aspect ratio of the image can be derived from the pixel size (.... x ....
pixel). This is indicated in the Load file screen (see
Media
in this chapter).
Many digital cameras generate images at an aspect ratio of 3:4. Therefore we
recommend to create print formats with the aspect ratio 3:4 for digital prints of the
same aspect ratio. In case of other formats too much information may be lost.
Select a suitable adaptation type (see
Single Type / Film Carrier File Print
print parameter range violation will be displayed. The following adaptation methods
can be selected:
Fit image to paper
(presetting) The complete digital image is printed; if the image has another aspect
ratio than the paper, a white border will show on two sides.
Fill print size
A center cropping of the digital image is printed without a border; part of the
original image is lost if the digital image has another aspect ratio than the paper.
In case of larger deviations between the aspect ratio of the original and the format
to be exposed the image cannot be printed. Then the alternative Adapt to print
size must be selected.
