Why the *&^%^ don't my tif's print...

[vfrontiers]

I am tired of scanning design sketches and importing into models and layouts only to have them NOT PRINT...

Sorry for the outburst, but something has to give... I can't keep wasting my time with this.

I can see the scan fine on plan... just prints NOTHING where a scan should be on paper.

Tried PDF, tiff (it's b/w).... Reduced file sizes.. still no print.

Help!

Update:

I scanned a design (hand draw plan) with lots of pixels (12000x19000)

Placed the tif into a layout... showed a big black box

Saved as PDF, Looked ok, but would not print

Then split the file into 3 strips and rotated so that the width was 4000 pixel. Placed the 3 strips into layout, looked and printed fine.

To me, that suggests (tho probably not conclusively) that this 4048 pixel limitation may still be present.

I used to get a glitch that images imported and then rotated in AC wouldn't print, but rotating them in something else (photoshop) then importing worked fine.... I didn't think that was still an issue.

I know this problem, i also tried more things and the problem was from printer (Hp cp1700 and Hp 2800) and sometimes if the corners of the tiff was on layout or not. and another issue was the resolution of the tiff.
i worked with b/w tiff's 150-300 dpi.

the error was random, and i can figure out exactly the problem.
