Heap Overflow Issue when implementing and using the Printable interface

So I've written the class below, and it works, but we are getting some heap overflow problems when using this. The images are limited to 5 mb each. Anyone have an idea on how to solve overflowing the heap when generating the printout?

Without going in the specifics of your code, maybe you really need a bigger heap size to do this task. Have you tried increasing it with the flag -Xmx?

-Xmx<size>        set maximum Java heap size

For instance:

java -Xmx360m ...

sets the heap size to 360 Mb.

Alternatively, you can use a profiler to understand where the memory is used. See this tutorial for Eclipse.
