Print configuration engine for enabling online printing of projects created in an online collage-based editor

A method for enabling a flash-based print engine to send image data to a printer at a high resolution required by the printer for high resolution printing, the method comprising:

• determining if a total pixel size of an image, calculated by multiplying a height pixel size by a width pixel size of the image, is greater than a pre-defined image size threshold of at least 16,777,215 pixels, decimal equivalent of 0×FFFFFF;
• tiling the image into individual image tiles if it is determined that the total pixel size of the image is greater than the pre-defined image size threshold;
• storing the individual image tiles to memory for later reconstitution;
• and
• providing the stored individual image tiles to the print engine for high resolution printing.

A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium for encoding program code for printing high-resolution projects over a data network, comprising:

• program code to determine if a total pixel size of an image, calculated by multiplying a height pixel size by a width pixel size of the image, is greater than a pre-defined image size threshold of at least 16,777,215 pixels, decimal equivalent of 0×FFFFFF;
• program code to tile the image into individual image tiles if it is determined that the total pixel size of the image is greater than the pre-defined image size threshold;
• program code to store the individual image tiles to memory for later reconstitution;
• and
• program code to provide the individual image tiles stored in memory for high resolution printing.
