Printing artboards seperately - PSE

  • December 13, 2017

Hi all, I have a Photoshop Elements image file with 2x artboards side-by-side that I need to print on separate pages, front and back of the paper. At the moment they are being printed as 1 page and if scaled full screen on the page they are not positioned correctly. Do you know if I can print artboards separately or failing that export the artboards to PDF with each on separate pages so I can print them with the correct positioning on separate pages? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi there,

    I’m not a Photoshop user so I’ll try and answer the best I can.  The total resolution of the doc (I assume including both artboards) is 7604x2480, and in the bottom-left of PSE it says the dimensions are 54.0M/198.9M. I don’t know how this scales to A4 when trying to print.

    Cheers

    Resolution is expressed in pixels/in. You can ascertain this via Image>Resize>Image size. In this dialog the document size is displayed as well.

    Suggest that you activate the crop tool and crop your artwork to coincide with the dimensions of the paper stock.

    On the crop tool's option bar, set resolution to 240px/in.

    Are the "artboards" the same size and resolution?

    What is the size and what is the resolution of the canvas upon which you are attempting to place the "artboards?"
