Printing with wrong colours

Hi,
I have drawn a picture (a graph plot), but when I'm printing it, the colours are not correct. I have used a BufferedImage, and this is parameter to a PrintControl-class.

Hi,
I think the colors that you have specified must be of RGB Colorspace (In java the default Colorspace is RGB). Note that all the devices has RGB Colorspace. Some printers are defined in CMYK(C - Cyan, M- Magenta, Y - Yellow, K - Black), so the colors that you have specified in RGB format is translated to the CMYK colors and that's why you get a different color while printing them.
Try using CIEXYZ Colorspace.

  • PDF printing with wrong colours

    Hi,
    I have created a document in indesign 5 and have now converted to a PDF file, on screen all is well but when I print the file all the colours are changing in a big way.
    The file includes illustrator images, photoshop photographs and text from indesign, everything has changed colour.
    I am not experienced in spot and process colours can anyone give me any tips on how to solve this problem.
    Thanks so much in advance
    Caroline

    Yes I can print colours correctly using other channels for example printing the document directly from indesign is fine and I have tried printing some of illustrator files that i have used within the page and they print fine after being converted to a PDF.
    I did use file-export pdf to save the file what other way is there, I looked under save as and it only allowed me to save the file as an indesign document, maybe I am missing something?

  • Background image is being printed on some web sights eg bank receipts are printed with a coloured background

    '''when printing a receipt or statement from my one of my local banks the item is printed with a blue colour in the background, right clicking on the web page and selecting view background image displays this colour , how do i turn this colour off on the web sight to stop the waste of ink
    '''

    Well, I figured this one out as well. It was quite stupid
    actually. Like I said in my other "self-answered post" I'm going to
    briefly describe the solution for anyone who might need the help.
    When Crossword Forge exports your file for the web it makes a
    folder with that crosswords documents and it's background image.
    You told Crossword Forge what image to use for the
    background. Even though it makes a new jpg for your background, it
    still has to reference the original. Keep those originals in your
    local root folder. don't move them. Crossword Forge will have a
    hissy if it can't find the original image. Yeah, even though it
    creates a new image.

  • Printing with no colour

    Why when i print a photo on my new HP Photosmart does it only print in greyscale

    Under File>print>preferences in the print dialog, there may be an option to print with all cartridges, or just b/w. Check it out.

  • Prints with wrong font and drops letters. Preview shows font correctly.

    I'm having problems printing some pdfs in Leopard. The preview shows correctly but the resulting printout is in the wrong font and has missing letters. Specifically every time there are two 'f' in sequence they get left out.
    Printing the same files on Tiger or even (Sigh) Windows yield the correct result. I've tested this with 3 printers (OKI C5800, Canon iR5000 and Canon iR C2620N). All with the same result.
    The pdf in question were created with LaTeX.
    Has anybody experienced something similar? What could be wrong?
    I can provide the sample .pdf file if necessary.

    After upgrading to Leopard, I was having trouble with my Samsung printer (ML-2150). Samsung hasn't upgraded the driver since OS 10.3, and it doesn't seem likely that they will ever do it. I found that the Linux-Foundation has an open source driver, which is compatible with a lot of printers. I downloaded the three components, and my Samsung is working perfectly now.
    I would suggest that you give it a try, here is the link:

  • Printer aligns BUT only with Black and Blue all other diagnostics print with all colours

    Initially when installed the printer REFUSED to align, took 7 attempts (OK I have heard of Einsteins quote !). Each time I used the printer screen to ALIGN PRINTER - the process failed. So I looked on the web, and:
    Cleaned the cartridges,
    Cleared the vents
    Removed and cleaned the printhead
    Prayed
    Tried again
    All to no avail, so then I tried doing the diagnostics via the PC software, and here the mystery deepened.
    When running the HP Photosmart B210 Series tool box I got three differing results from the three printing options
    A Print Quality Diagnostics Page gave me Ba full five colour printout
    Align Printheads gave me black and blue lies/boxes/grids and the Alignement Successful message
    Print Diagnostic info gave me all four colours with lots of meaningful info including the 73 Print head Calibration COnfidence Level:0
    Any Ideas ANYONE, before I bin this and buy a Kodak or Epson in disgust
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    What exactly is the issue?  The alignment aligns the color printhead to black printhead, and only one color (cyan for your printer) and black are needed for that.  (There is likely an additional set of blocks that prints gray blocks fading to white.  This section is used to calibrate the energy for the colors.)  The other test pages you printed will print various diagnostic or test pages which will use all the colors. 
    A successful alignment page requires the page be printed on unused white paper and requires that the black and cyan sections are printing properly.

  • Colours in 'Print with Preview' window are wrong

    I am using Photoshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
    I usually use 'Print with Preview' to print photographs. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I have accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colours on my monitor (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print with Preview', the image shown in the small layout window is now much darker, reds are more brown and in general the colours look quite wrong. And what is even worse is that when I print, the results match the wrong colours in the Preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly in Photoshop.
    I attach a screenshot, showing (on the left) a colour test image opened directly in Photoshop CS and (on the right) how it looks in the Preview window.
    Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? I should be very grateful for suggestions.

    The words that helped [me] the most to understand Photoshop color management theory are:
    Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
    The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    +++++
    While this simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
    1) The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    2) The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
    Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB—or better yet the ProPhoto RGB—PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me identify where the problem is occurring.
    +++++
    BTW, thank you for the helpful and solved hits.

  • Printing with a LED Colour Laser Printer - No CMYK support?

    Greetings.
    I bought an Oki A3+ printer (C9655) three weeks ago to output a large amount of images for the editing and proofing of a book project. The results I am getting are pretty bad as Lightroom cannot see their profiles so they cannot be loaded (they can be seen & loaded in Photoshop CS3 or InDesign CS3). Their technical support is saying that Adobe Lightroom doesn't appear to support their profiles which are CMYK. Although the results are pretty good via Photoshop or InDesign, I really don't want to have to import 100's of images into another app just to print a decent quality preview hard copy.
    What I expected would be straightforward in printing whatever DNGs I select from a collection via the Print module is apparently not possible.  Is it really true that Adobe won't support CMYK in Lightroom? And if so why?  There are threads requesting CMYK support that go back to Lightroom 2 Beta.
    What about printing cards on thick board? What about printing a preview of a book project? It doesn't have to be inkjet RGB all the time. (Admittedly quality really looks "photographic" on inkjet but at too high a cost for previews).
    LED Colour laser printers like the one I bought using 4 blocks of toners are becoming more accessible & popular.  Surely there will be an increasing amount of users who expect like I do to be able to output directly to the printer without convoluted workarounds.
    Adobe, could you please get Lightroom to talk to Colour Laser Printers that work in CMYK and manage the colour? Getting the printer to manage colour really gives poor results. The colours are pretty good but the shadows and blacks seriously lack density making the result just unacceptable. I am frustrated I have not been able to do the outputs I bought the printer for and it appears that the solution lies in Adobe supporting CMYK outputs.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting a solution soon.
    Thanks.
    (Mac 10.6.8)

    Thank you for your prompt response Andrew
    Please forgive me if I wasn't clear. I don't actually have any CMYK files in my catalogue. Nearly all my files are DNG's that were imported from RAW (if they are edited in Photoshop, it's usually in ProPhoto RGB). What I want to do is output collections directly from Lightroom to paper on the Oki. With hundreds of images to print, I really don't want to use Photoshop. The way I understood it, the printer needed CMYK data to be able to print an image but I think I got it wrong (maybe because Oki only supply CMYK profiles?).
    From what you say and from looking at the printer settings options, there must be a way to get Lightroom to send data over to the Oki in a language it fully understands (which I think is by letting the Printer manage colour). I have experimented with different options in the Printer settings, but so far all the results are wrong. I'm now looking at loading profiles in the "Graphic Pro" settings. It looks like they need to be loaded with an installer app and it looks like the only way to be able to use them is by storing them on the printer - which unbelievably means paying over £300 for their hard drive!
    Hopefully there is a simpler solution. I'm getting the impression the printer has great capabilities but I'm missing out on them because I can't work out how to get the settings right. What I thought would be pretty straightforward (printing a preselection of images from Lightroom) has turned into weeks of complication and frustration.
    If you have any more advice to spare, I would be delighted to read it!
    Thanks again.

  • Can I print with black cartridge only if colour cartidges are empty on HP C1600 seeries printer?

    Can I print using the black cartridge only whilst the colour cartridges are empty? I have a HP Photosmart C1600 series printer and Vista installed on my PC. I have set the Printer preferences to  "Grayscale and use Black Cartridge only" but the printer itself is telling me it wont print unless i replace my empty yellow cartridge. I bought a brand new Black cartridge so i could print using black ink only as i dont need to use colour.

    Hi,
    Many printers from all vendors will not print with just one empty ink cartidge, it doesn't matter which one. Some printers allow users to print but at slower than snail speed. Whichever way, we have to have ink carridges to be able to print (even scan).

  • Canon i9900 color inkjet printer. Photos are printing with colors wrong. Is there a driver that works?

    I'm using a new MacBook Pro/Mavericks and a Canon i9900 color ink jet photo printer. The colors are printing all wrong, it almost looks like a negative. Printing directly from the Canon 6D photos print just fine. Is there a work around for this? Canon says it's Apple's driver that is the problem. I've tried printing from PhotoMatrix Pro, Photoshop CC, PhotoElements CC, Preview, and all kinds of software but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions out there?

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a printer must be consuming a little electricity for it to sense and respond to a command to turn on and print. Therefore, I suggest you forget buying a new printer with this feature and simply leave the printer you already have on all the time.
    Just a thought!

  • Printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour setting to Epson Stylus photo 2100

    I have just upgraded my work Mac (G5 Dual 2ghz PowerPC running OSX 10.5.4 and 6gb Ram) to CS3. Brilliant, except when I came to print out a presentation for a client, it keeps crashing illustrator. It always happens when I try and print to my Epson Stylus Photo 2100 using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings. We have previously be using 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings (as this gets a pretty true colour representation out of our CMYK printer). All the other settings work fine, but lacks the rich colour of the emulated setting. I don't seem to be able to get even close by adjusting the setting in the colour settings panel.
    Does anyone know of a way round this, or of a patch to fix this? I have been checking out the internet, but cant find the Illustrator settings from version 6 (i'm sure it was very basic - but my boss wont except anything but those settings).
    I have tried printing with 'Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0' colour settings to our Lexmark laser printer C522 (basic colour results) but it was able to print. Not sure why it should work on one printer but not another?
    The printer we are using is a Epson Stylus Photo 2100, with the latest driver 3.09.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I wonder if it is a conflict with the system settings or Adobe Bridge settings somewhere. I used to use "Emulate Illustrator 6...", but always had a RIP interpret the information. I can't think of any reason why Illustrator would crash. I'd send Adobe Tech Support a note about it, maybe they can figure out what's going on. By the way, I sometimes switch my settings to "Emulate Illus 6..." and, like you, have had no problems ( but, I'm still in v10 via 10.3.9 ).

  • After I retouch a pic, it won't print with the retouches. It prints the original.  What am I doing wrong?

    After I retouch a pic, it won't print with the retouches.  It still prints the original pic.  What am I doing wrong?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Change printer setting to colour with activeX

    Hi
    I have an odd problem. 
    I create a report in excel with in LV. The I'd like to have it printed. But the printer settings are set to gray on default. 
    How can I set the printer settings to colour before printing?
    Thanks for any help.
    Yves

    In this way you really work in Excel through the ActiveX interface. So you will have to try to find an ActiveX interface in Excel that allows to do printer settings. There seems to be something promising when going from _Application.Active Dialog.Page Setup.Black and White. But how that all works I'm not sure.
    Something like this should probably work. It's untested but should get you into the right direction.
