MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007How to speed up printing?
I have succesfully reduced the size of my presentation - through otimizing the slide master, reducing picture sizes etc. - and now the presentation is down to 204 KB - as opposed to the original 9+ MB. BUT - still it takes forever to print in color.... What are the tricks to print fast? When I look at the print queue - the small 204 KB file swells up to 9 MB when printed. How is that..? And what is there to do? I seem to have the same problem with Word-files /swelling up at print time). RSunday It's always a trade off between quality and speed with printing. If you lower the resolution (dpi) when printing then things will print quicker. But the quality will be lower. see http://www.toejumper.net/speed5/printer5.htm cheers TAJ Simmons awesome - powerpoint templates, http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com powerpoint backgrounds, free samples, ppt tutorials... >I have succesfully reduced the size of my presentation - through otimizing > the slide master, reducing picture sizes etc. - and now the presentation [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > I seem to have the same problem with Word-files /swelling up at print > time). Where do I specify the dpi of my print job..? Clearly printing to high-res is waste - so I want to find the limit, where it is still acceptable. And - why does a 500 KB file swell up to 5 MB in the queue? > RSunday > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > I seem to have the same problem with Word-files /swelling up at print > > time). > I have succesfully reduced the size of my presentation - through otimizing > the slide master, reducing picture sizes etc. - and now the presentation is [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I seem to have the same problem with Word-files /swelling up at print time). Look for transparent fills, especially several layers of different fills. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
