Color quality difference by printing from the Organizer vs the Editor

When a print the a photo from the Organizer I get a good quality print, one that closely represents the image on the computer screen.  But when I print the identical print from the Editor mode, the colors are darker -- more black pigment in all of the colors and no where near as representitive of the image on the screen.  How can I get the prints from the Editor mode to be more like the ones from the Organizer  -- more like the images on the screen?......Jim

Organizer :
Image Space:  sRGB IEC61933-2.1
Print Space :   Same as Source      (What is "Source"?)
This means that the Organizer is sending the photo to the printer without adjusting any of its colors (the default behavior).
Editor  :
Color Handling : Printer Manages Color
Source Space :  Same as in Organizer
Rendering Intent : Relative Colorimetric    (What ever that is)
This means that the Editor is sending the photo to the printer without adjusting any of its colors.  "Relative colorimetric" means that if there is a color in the photo that the printer isn't capable of printing, the printer will chose the nearest color.  (This is the default behavior.)
So you've verified that the Organizer and Editor are using the default print settings.  They have two different "print engines", but with a printer made in the last several years and photo in the sRGB color space, they would normally produce nearly identical results with these settings.  What's your printer and how old is it?
My next suggestion is to download the most recent printer driver and install it (even if you already have the most recent one).  This can reset the printer settings to their defaults.
If that doesn't work (and it likely won't), then you could consider configuring PSE to manage colors, rather than letting the printer manage colors.  But getting that to work right often can involve a fair amount of effort, reading your printer's documentation to get the printer configured properly (it's different for each manufacturer and often for different models).

  • Printing quality differece between printing from Editor or from Organizer

    I print a photo from the Organizer and get a very good match to the image on the screen.  When I print the exact same photo from the Editor it is darker, more black pigment, not near as true to the screen as from the Organizer.  How can I get a truer print from the Editor?   Jim Rust

  • When I recently upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1, whenever I try to print from the internet, the printing is in greyscale, not in black ink and the color is in half-tones. Please tell me what to reset . Thanks..

    I can't get my printer to print from the internet in full color and black inks. It only comes out in greyscale, or half the amount of color.

    Thanks for your help Matt, but after trying the "Reset Printer setting" and "reset all printer settings" instructions, I am still unable to print in full ink from Firefox. I have to go to Safari and print anything I want from that browser. Any other advice you can send me to? I should have not upgraded my Firefox. I was doing it to apply for jobs as I couldn't get into a few sites. Thanks again!

  • How can i choose a lower quality print density when printing from firefox on my Mac. I cant move the slider along the scale ( I can when printing from the computer).

    I can't change the print density when printing from Firefox. It is set at standard and although there is a "slider button" to use for choosing less or more density, it can't be moved. I can tick "grayscale". I can choose the density when printing from the computer. I have a Mac

    I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

  • Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue.  I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

    Hi @SALLYANNC,
    I see by your post that you are unable to print from the internet. I can help you with this.
    Run the Windows updates and update your browser.
    Try printing from another browser to see if you have the same results.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What internet browser are you using?
    What operating system are you using?

    How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • My new Officejet Pro 8500a on a Windows XP machine will not print from the Internet.

    I just purchased and installed an Officejet Pro 8500a all-in-one and everything seems to work fine except that the maachine will not print from the internet.  I use Windows XP home and and the Firefox browser.  The printer is connected directly to the computer, and is not directly connected to the Internet or any other network.

    The Officejet 8500 printers take individual ink cartridges (IIC); that machine requires that all cartridges be installed to ensure that the printhead does not get damaged. Ink is used in the printer not just for printing, but maintain the printer and the printhead. One can reduce the amount of color ink the printer uses by changing the printer settings to Grayscale or use black ink only. Page 34 of the user manual shows how one can change those settings when printing documents. For further information on how ink is used in the printer; one can look as this page here where it goes into detail on the different ways that ink is used in the printer.
    I would just replace the color cartridge that the printer indicates needs replacing when the machine alerts you to low ink. I would not replace all colors at once when only one is in need of replacing.  
    I hope that this helps.

  • For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone.

    For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone 5. Any idea why?

    Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
    Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
    Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products.

  • ? The prints from Elements are not as sharp as when printed from the card Why? help please

    The prints from the memory card are much sharper than  when printed from Adobe Elements Is this normal or is there a reason ? help please

    ECol a écrit:
    As far as I am aware the card is read by the computer as it is without any form of enhancement and sent to the computer and printed.
    If I print from the Photo Gallery the prints are as sharp as above.
    I would have expected printing from Photoshop to be the same.
    No, that's not that simple. Printing means resizing (resampling) most of the time and depending on your printer type/printer driver, a default sharpening is generally applied.
    By the way, more sharpening does not necessarily mean better quality. That's the advantage of being able to control both resizing and sharpening from the editing software. There has been many books written on the 'art' of sharpening.

  • How can I print from the icon in FF5?

    I have been unable to print from any of the icons in FF5. This has only occurred in the past few days. The only way I can print is to "Select" on the page, and then "Print Selection" on the print screen. I can print from IE by using the icons.
    This is also true with my Yahoo email.

    In Mac OS X, right-clicking the document's icon brings up a similar menu, but documents are printed from the application, not from the OS. The application is launched, the document opened,and the document sent to the printer, bypassing only the Print dialogue.
    The same route may be triggered by dragging and dropping the file's icon onto the printer's icon in the Dock.

  • Can't print from the internet but other stuff I can

    I have had my printer for about 4 months now and everything has been fine until the other day when it stopped printing from the internet.  Now that I think about it, it's about the same time I put new ink in.  But I can print from Word and other stuff.  I even pulled up the printer in Devices and Printers and did a test page and everything was fine.  I have an HP Envy 4501 (Print Scan Copy Photo).  I use Chrome for my internet and like I said, I've never had a problem in the past with it. 
    I downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said everything was good.  When I select to have my email printed, it opens it in a new window and then it does the print display for me and I have to select 'Print using system dialog...(Ctrl+Shift+P)' and then it opens the print window.  It has my printer selected, I hit print and nothing happens.  My printer icon appears down by my clock in the lower right hand corner of my computer and when I hover over it, it says '(1) document pending for Missy' but then nothing happens and a few seconds later it changes to '(0) document pending for Missy'.  ???? 
    What am I doing wrong??  Help please!!! 

    Hi MissyDub,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you are having a problem printing from Google Chrome, where the print job is shown, but then leaves the queue. I would be happy to assist you with this issue!
    It sounds as though the issue is isolated to Google Chrome. To restore the browser settings (and printing settings) for Chrome you can uninstall and reinstall the software. If you are using a Mac, you can follow this document. If you are using a Windows computer, you can follow this document.
    If that is still giving you trouble, you can also (contact Chrome Support) to find out if further assistance is necessary with their program.
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums, and I will look forward to your reply!

    Hi,
    Here are a couple of things to try.  I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility.  IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

    i have c 6180 wireless printer and an apple ipad2, can the printer print from the ipad? how can i set it up?

    Not with the built-in AirPrint print function.  However, you can download free and cheap print apps that can provide some (limited) printing abilities.  HP's iPrint is one of those.

  • I have a e printer and thee printer is on the same wifi net work as the iPad, when I select print from the iPad the response is no printers. I can successfully email from my iPad to the printer. How can I make my iPad recognize the printer?

    I have an e printer and the printer is on the same network as the iPad. When I attempt to print from the iPad I get a message no printers available. How can I get my iPad to recognize the e printer?

    This printer has worked for me with out fail at my house.  I am traveling in an RV and am at the mercy of the RV Wifi.  I do not have access to the router.  The printer has been recycled a number of times as well as the Ipad.  The printer is set up and has access to the wifi.  It seems to me that the Ipad and Iphone are not recognizing the connection with the e printer.  I was hoping there was some adjustment that could be made to the Ipad and Iphone.  I can email to the printer from both gadgets.  I will try to recycle the devices again.
