Symptoms

Upon creating the PostScript (.PS) file, the following error occurs: "Output file too large (> 2GB)".

Solution

This error is caused by an internal memory limit. Hence, it's not possible to create a fix for this error. However, in most cases it's still possible to output to PostScript correctly by optimizing the document.

Workaround

Optimize the original artwork document by doing one of the following:

• Disable the option Output Gradients as Images via More Settings in the Print Settings window.

• Adjust the image's dpi according to the printing lpi.
• Down-sample and replace images where ever possible.
