Printed image is half black and half red on A4 paper

I printed an image using Windows's default printer program. 
The black photo ink cartridge is very low and the text one is around half.
I printed the image onto  A4 paper in landscape. The image takes up most of the page. 
The last half to be printed looks red.
Which cartridge prints images onto A4 paper?

Hey there @KyleGriffiths , Welcome back to the forums!
The printer will use a combination of all of the ink cartridges to print, to best answer your question. I posted a link below for you to check out as well, which is all about how ink is used. You can certainly try troubleshooting "Print Quality" issues for the type of concern you have, which should let you know if the ink cartridge(s) or printhead is to blame for the quality issue. Try the troubleshooting guide below to find out.

  • Display half black and half white.. help please?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Recently, (sometimes) after i start my powerbook up or awake it from sleep.. the display instead of white... it's half white and half black. Top half is white and I can see the apple logo (startup) or the desktop (sleep). The bottom half is completely black. And gradually the the black disappeared. Is my display card screwed?
    Thanks.

    My guess is that you have a backlight going bad. Miniature fluorescent tubes provide the backlight; I think at least two, perhaps top and bottom. You would have a slow starting bottom tube. AFAIK, this is not an easy or cheap repair. Most folks would replace the whole display, although it's probably possible to take the display apart and replace the tube.
    If an external display connected to the computer works OK, the video card is likely fine.

  • My ipod 5th generation screen cracked a few months ago or so. Today I went on it and the screen was half black and had red, blue and green lines on it the screen does not work and ive tried to reset it but its still the same what is it? how can i fix it?

    help!!!

    Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA) $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

    Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it

  • HT5622 Do you think that apple would exchange my ipod gen 5 for another one because this one well, the screen isn't broken but the inside is half black and other colors? When it happened it was in its otter box, and i lost the receipt and got it on may?

    Do you think that apple would exchange my ipod gen 5 for another one because this one well, the screen isn't broken but the inside is half black and other colors? When it happened it was in its otter box, and i lost the receipt and got it on may? How much do you think it would cost please help me.

    If covered by warranty. See:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    Then if the iPod is within warranty, not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost. You can do it at an Apple store
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Mac SUDDENLY reboots continuously and displays apple logo that is half blue and half gray

    I was surfing the web and my Mac goes black and reboots unexpectedly. I say OK, fine.....gray screen comes up then a Apple Logo that is half Blue and half gray appears with a graduated progress bar under the logo......it progresses half way then reboots and repeats-over and over again... I turned the unit off completely to cool off and give it a break.
    I disconnected the ethernet cable and a few preipherals.
    I am about to re-start in safe mode but wanted to bounce this here first.

    Well I took it to the GENIUS BAR and they have to replace the logic board which wont be in until Friday which *****....I am so glad i have APPLE CARE. is all I can say...I am also so very happy this isn't a WINDOWS BOX situation because then there wouldn't be TIME MACHINE. I may or may not have to restore from backup but it is there is I need it....so I will have to re-install all 3rd party software....but hopefully all the data will be there somewhere.....
    thanks for everyone's help during moments of panic...

    my firefox is half English and Half Spanish. How can I make it all English ?

    If you have the Firefox user interface (menu bar) in the wrong language or want to change the current language then you can get the language of your choice here:
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall the current Firefox version, but make sure that you do not remove your personal data.
    Install the new Firefox version of the wanted language.
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup and [[Backing up your information]]
    You may need to (re)set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language (e.g. "en-US" or "en-GB") on the about:config page.
    You can open the '''about:config''' page via the location bar, like you open a web site.
    Use the ''Filter'' bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

  • Screen is half normal and half darker.

    The first half hour my screen is half normal and half darker. What can be the problem?
    It started after a replacement of the protection screen at the Apple-dealer in Marbella.

    Hello benvanoeteren,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the display is not working correctly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
    Brightness or color isn't uniform
    If you have an older display, before evaluating the display for uniformity in lighting or color, the display may need to warm up. Older LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) use CCFL (Cold Cathode Florescent) backlights. This kind of lighting may require several minutes to half an hour to warm up fully.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • I have an hp 8500. The solid yellow prints with half yellow and half BLACK ink. why?

    How do I fix this problem of printing half black instead of solid yellow?

    Is the printer an Officejet 8500? If so, start with the troubleshooting steps in this document - Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.  If you have more questions after that, let me know what you see in the Print Quality Diagnostics page. Also, let me know the product number for your printer so I am sure of the model you have.

  • Printing half on and half off the paper

    We purchased the HP Photosmart 6510 yesterday.  While the unit will print, it is printing the image half on the page and half off the page on 5x7 paper.  How do we get it to consistently print to the center of the sheet so that I am not wasting any more paper?
    The 4x6 paper will not print at all- it will only jam and destroy the paper. 
    Paper type: invitation weight matte paper being fed from the photo tray.  Ironically, the 3.5 x 5 images all printed perfectly.
    Anyone?  Help!

    Hi - A couple of things to check.  First, make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver (File, Print, Preferences) and the app you're printing from are both set to the appropriate paper size.  I'm assuming that is the case if it prints fine on 3.5x5, but can't hurt to double check.  Second, sometimes there can be an accumulation of dust on the rollers that can cause the pick rollers to slip initially.  Try cleaning those by following the steps in this document.  This isn't normal for a new printer, but worth a try.
    Hope that helps.

  • Half Black and White half Color Video

    Is there a way to take a full color video and make half of the video black and white and the other half full color?  For instance imagine a line down the center of the video, on the left the video is black and white, on the right side it's full color.  Taking that concept if an object or person moves from the left to the right side of the screen, thus crossing that invisible line they automatically switch from black and white to color.
    Almost like a video mask overlay..  How would I accomplish this in FCP?  I have FCPS  not FCPX

    Why would duplicating the video onto a track above mess up the sync?
    What you need to do is edit your piece first, once EVERYTHING is where it should be, THEN do the effects...
    unlink your audio (shift-L), select all of your video clips, shift-option click and drag up. Select one of your clips, apply the desaturate or channel mixer effect and the crop... Now, if you do not have any other filters already applied to your clips, select your clip and press command-c to copy. select the rest of the clips that will be destaurated/cropped and right click, select paste attributes. Select filters and Crop, and viola... Tell me where the loss of sync is?
    Make sure to press shift-L again so that your audio & video is linked.

  • How to make a movie half black and white and half color

    Is there a way to take a full color video and make half of the video black and white and the other half full color?  For instance imagine a line down the center of the video, on the left the video is black and white, on the right side it's full color.  Taking that concept if an object or person moves from the left to the right side of the screen, thus crossing that invisible line they automatically switch from black and white to color.
    Almost like a video mask overlay..  Is that possible in iMovie?

    When I do that it only makes a short portion (the top video) color somehow it shortens the clip to 2 seconds, I tried to edit for the full 47 second clip (just a sample to play with) but it keeps going back to 2 seconds for the top video. 
    Any other ideas?  I do have Final Cut Pro as well as Adobe After Effects as well, but I just figured iMovie would be easiest way to do this simple effect...

  • How to make a photo half black and white with select colours

    Hey,
    Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make a photo black and white with abit of colour like the one attached... on CS4?
    Cheers

    Haven't seen you attached file as it takes a long time for attachments to load on this forum.  Try little camera icon instead.
    EASIEST way to have B&W in areas is to add Hue and Saturation adjustment layer.  Use sliders to make B&W.  Next paint on layer MASK, with black, to restore color in areas you want to show color.

  • How do i get Firefox to print web pages in black and white only (colors are interpreted in grayscale and some are too light to be read)?

    i have a black and white laser printer. Firefox prints web pages by sending color images to my printer. The printer uses greyscale to interpret the colors. i really want Firefox to send black and white images to my printer, because with greyscale some of the colors are translated to print that is too light to be seen clearly.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks,
    Chazbo

  • Acrobat 9.31 / Browser Plugin - Printing Color PDF as Black and White?

    I have an interesting issue for the masses. For a couple of our users (it encompasses both Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 x64), they are having an issue where when they attempt to print a PDF directly from Acrobat's browser plugin (in this case, IE8 is the browser), and attempt to print a color PDF to a color printer, the PDF comes out in black and white.
    Here's some other consistents:
    * Printing to a network printer, using the print driver Canon C5180-H1 Ver.2.0JM. The problem spans across two different print servers (we use a different one for XP clients and 7 clients, but the driver is the same)
    * When the user clicks on "Print As Image", it does work (but doesn't look quite as good)
    * When the user saves the PDF to a file and then opens it in the full Acrobat 9 Pro application, it does work (but this is a bit annoying)
    Can anyone suggest some other things I should check and/or reasons that this might be happening? I'm at a total loss to explain it but will happily accept suggestions on ways to fix it.
    Thanks!

    Following up to see if anyone has some solid ideas on how this might be happening.
    Thanks!
