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?
For instance:
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.
