: How to raster vectors (AI) into 1bit tif in 2000dpi I need to raster files 1m x 0,70m to 1-bit TIFF. Pretty much home RIPing. AI CS 5.5 only goes until aprox. 500dpi and PS renders vector-PDFs

You may be able to export it as postscript and use ghostscript to render it to a bitmap format. Ghostscript can render in bands, so it can support very large image sizes.

Import the Illustrator file into Photoshop as a Smart Object File > Open As Smart Object.
Use Image > Resize with "Resample" turned on to change the width to 100cm.
Be prepared to wait a long time, depending on your RAM and scratch disk (operation may fail if your system isn't up to it).
Image > Mode > Greyscale
Image > Mode > Bitmap
Save as TIFF


Here's what I get at this point:
