DPI reduced when printing a picture

In Photoshop Elements 9 when I print a 4x6 picture it redcues the DPI due to photo size.  It also is reducing the clarity of the picture.  How do I get it not do this?

Please provide more information:
Go to Image>resize>image size
Post W & H in inches, resolution in px/in
Is this a picture from your camera or from the web?
Are you telling the printer in a dialog to crop or to resize?
Are you printing from Editor or from Organizer?
If printing from Editor (preferred way), what are the settings in the print dialog?

  • Pages, downloaded from the web, beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed. How can I resolve this?

    How can I resolve a recent printing problem I'm experiencing regarding downloads from the web where pages beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed or lines of type at bottoms of pages are missing?

    David,
    Thanks for the reply. I wish I could tell you that your suggestions solved my problem - they didn't.
    I've deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again; I've reset the printing system, then added the printer again; I've downloaded printer drivers, deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again.
    I plan to contact hp later this week for further assistance as you suggest.
    My printer is a hp OfficeJetPro L7590.
    I've enclosed screen shots illustrating the situation.
    Regards,

  • Text size is reduced when printing with a jpeg imbeded in the email

    When running Thunderbird 31.3.0 and there is a large sized jpeg attached, the email will print showing the entire email but text gets scaled down so the jpeg image will fit. Is there a way to either have the picture cropped so it does not control the printing size of the text message or print without the jpeg being printed, thereby leaving the text not reduced in size?

    Try the Aperture forum area.

  • When printing photos, pictures are missing colors. ( example no blue sky, colors look washed out )

    When we print Photos the colors are not clear and the blue is missing in the sky, Pictures look yellow , also sometimes lines appear in Photos. I already ran the cartridge cleaning . 

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? It appears you are low on cyan (and/or light cyan depending on your printer model and what cartridges are installed.)

  • When printing from Photoshop on Photosmart C 410 A, size is reduced. Other programs print true.

    When I try to print from Photoshop, the size of picture is greatly reduced. I tried printing a picture inserted on word and also using the HP Photo Creations program and they did print true to size. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Eileesrn,
    We have a few options that we can try. The first I would like for you to try is:
    Under "Printers", rename the Photosmart C410 Fax driver to PS C410 Fax
    Please let me know if that helps.

    Use of the tools is pretty much the same in all versions of the program.
    "Edit" is a menu item in Photoshop Elements Editor. Don't you see this?

  • How can I save a page complete so that I can take our a print later on with its complete texts and pictures.I want that the copy of the page when printed should be exactly the same with all the details.

    When save a web page and try to take out print the pictures in the web page are not coming in the print.I want to know how to save the webpage so that when I take its print it comes out in its entirety without loosing any details of the original webpage.

    If you drop down the "Save as Type" list in the Save page dialog, you have the choices of HTML only (images not saved to your computer) and HTML complete (images are saved to your computer). Neither of these is perfect.
    If you really need a record of what you see today, I suggest printing the page to PDF. There are a number of free print-to-PDF products, as well as paid ones. This isn't perfect either, because some sites look different in print than on screen, but it avoids the problem of sites changing or links breaking after your browsing session ends, etc.
    If you have an example of a page that can't be printed as it appears on the screen, you could post a URL. For example, many blogs print in an "unstyled" format.

  • LPI/DPI not changing dot size in Illustrator CS3 when printing HELP!

    I'm having to us my wife's laptop which is an HP running windows vista. I am using Illustrator CS3 and printing with a Ricoh Aficio AP610N Adobe PostScript3 printer. All this I could do on my laptop before it messed up and it would work fine. Now though on my wife's laptop when I go to print a spot color with any type of halftone or gradient mesh and I change the lpi/dpi in the print dialogue box down to say like 25 or 30 from 106 the dots are still printing out very very tiny. There not printing out 25 or 30 dots per inch. There still at like 106 or 225 lpi/dpi. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! Why wont they change to what I set it to??? Am i over looking something??? Again all this worked fine on my laptop I could change the lpi/dpi to 35 and they would print out big I could actually see them. And now on my wife's laptop they just keep printing out small real fine dots. The only difference between my laptop & hers is mines was a 64bit & hers is only a 32bit. Please help me someone!!!!!!!!!!!

    Look for printer settings in the printer's driver dialog that overide document halftone settings. Some HP laser printers, for example, have a so-called "resoution enhancement" setting that is on by default, and that overrides the document halftone rulings. It's quite possible you have turned such a setting off on your machine, but have not done so on your wife's.

  • A way to reduce margins when printing multiple pages per sheet?

    I really like the new leopard print dialog box. Is there a way of reducing the large margins when printing 2, 4, or more pages per sheet (in Layout)?

    You could use custom page sizes (in the Page Setup dialog) or you could see if the settings in the Paper Handling panel help at all.

  • Reducing margins when printing multiple pages on one sheet

    When I print a pdf document from Preview, a document from Pages, or from any other application and select the Layout-> Pages Per Sheet as 2, 4, or more, very large margins are put around each sheet and between the pages on the sheet. If these margins could be reduced, the print size would be bigger. Is there any way to reduce these margins (say down to 1cm or so)?

    I figured out a way to reduce the margins. You can do it quickly by choosing Scale to Fit-> Fill Entire Paper, from the Preview settings in the print dialog box. You can also increase the scaling to make the writing fill up more of the page manually by choosing Scale -> and putting a higher percent. The preview window is helpful in showing what it will look like.

  • When I crop picture (no constraint), choose print, can print picture 4 x 8

    When I crop picture (no constraint), choose print, paper and print size, can print picture 4 x 8 for instance, if choose smaller will cut off part of picture.  How do I tell iPhoto that I want the whole picture in smaller size?  If I crop with specific size, the same thing happens.  Help - what I am missing?

    Two choices - crop the photo to the print size (4x8 in your example) and print it selecting that print size on the first print window
    Or Print and on the first print window after making the selections click customize and right click on the preview and select fit to frame - this will print the entire photos with white space fill on the sides needed to fit
    Other than that your question is not clear - if this does not explain then please ask the complete question again with details and complete sentences
