When I print my photoshop images white areas print grey

Using my Epson Photo1500W images created in photoshop print grey in areas that should be White. There is no problem when I print images I have created in Illustrator or when I when I transfer the photoshop image into Illustrator. Any clues ? thanks Mikki

Did this problem recently start, or has it always been this way? Maybe a Preferences reset would fix it.
Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Look for the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog and click "Yes".
If that is not the case:
Check your Printer settings, they are independent of Illustrator.
Look at the Print Dialog, see what Color management section looks like.
You have a choice to let the Printer or Photoshop manage colors. See what works best.

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

Printing from iPhoto 6: shadow areas printing too dark

I have printed directly from iPhoto to my Epson 1290 (1280 in US) and the colour accuracy of the prints compared to the screen is good, except that the prints tend to be very dark in the shadow areas, sometimes just solid black ink and complete loss of shadow detail.
If I print from Photoshop, the colours are less vivid and the prints appear lighter than on the screen, but I have better detail in the shadow areas. I don't want to get into the whole thing about colour management in Photoshop, this is just to let you know that the detail is present in the images and is not an overexposure problem.
What I want to know is whether it is possible to somehow change any settings to prevent this loss of shadow detail when I print from iPhoto. The default Add ColorSync Profile is checked in the iPhoto preferences. Some dark/shadow areas come out looking like a blob of black ink, sort of posterized, which spoils an otherwise good print.
Many thanks to any of you clever folk out who can help.

Thanks Morris, will try that.
I found that if I tweak the output in the Levels palette in Photoshop, setting the slider to about 12, it reduces the excessive black ink in the shadow areas.
Otherwise, the colours are a very good match when I print from iPhoto.

I am having trouble printing 4x6, 1" bottle cap images, they are printing too small

I have a new iMac and cannot get standard 1" bottlecap images to print to the correct size. They print slightly smaller than 1". They are printed on 4"x6" photo paper. I am selecting that size when I print. I also can print from photoshop. Thanks for any tips!

Oh my...
It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
Thanks for helping the hopeless.

Printing square picture. Outside area prints grey, not white

I have been printing from Ap for years, and just noticed a new problem. I'm printing some square photos (cropped from rectangular), and when printed on my Epson 3800 the remainder of the rectangle is grey. This is NOT the case on my Canon 9000 printer, which prints a square pic on a white background. Oddly enough, the Canon has the same problem printing from Photoshop; the Epson prints perfectly from PS. Can anyone explain where there is a setting for the background color outside my cropped image?

Have you tried more than one type of printer? I have seen this happen as a result of the drivers used for a particular printer. Also is the modified color table being passed to the control that's being printed?
Could you post your code (in V6 format) along with one of your pictures?

Printer stretching Photoshop images.

Hi everyone,
My problem is to do with sketching images. On screen in print size mode on Photoshop, the proportions are correct however when they come out on paper from the printer, the proportions are stretched. I have also tried measuring the width nad height on screen in print size mode and after printing it and measuring the difference, and there was a difference.
I have tried ticking normal-size printing in the settings and that made no difference. I thought it may be the settings on contact sheet when I was using that, because they fit to the size but when I printing a single photograph without contact sheet, the image still stretched.
When I was making logos in illustrator I have the same problem printing!
Has anyone got any ideas?
My Version of Photoshop is CS3 and my printer is Cannon ip4600.
Thank you,
Helen Capstick

I downloaded an updated driver for my canon ip4600 printer although that did not make a difference.
I got a message up when printing:
"Some PostScript specific settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
Does anyone know what this means? it may be related to the problem (or may not!)
thank you,
Helen

White areas printing as orange for multiple printers.

Hi all,
Did a search and didn't find an answer, so here is the issue - I have a G5 running 10.3.9, and both an Epson R300Inkjet and a HP 3600dn laserprinter. On both printers, any area defined by the application as containing no data (and would normally be left white) is printing a sort of orange-red. Areas defined within an image as white are fine. It's as if somewhere there is a data error telling both printers to render non-data space as this solid red. I thought it was the drivers on the Epson, but I just got the HP today and it immediately did the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Actually, no, that is not the case. Yes, permissions have been checked. Have 4 Macs. 1 Intel based, the other 3 PowerPC. ALL of them have this problem. It's not anything corrupted. On one of the machines, I just instaled the printer driver from Brother. So, fresh and new.
So, my question to the group is does anyone else have multiple printers and use printer presets. If so, if you use one other than "standard" and print, then, print again (our preset will then be the default, do not pick again), does it print the second time correctly, or, does it revert to standard settings?
No, the printer has no way to set the default tray. Which is stupid as the multi function tray, where you can put a limited number of sheets, is exactly where you WOULD put forms, and, the regular tray, which holds a LOT of paper, is of course where you would put regular paper. Funny thing is, the regular tray is TRAY 2! Which is not the default.

Print copy ignores my request to print in black and white and prints in color anyways.

I recently reinstalled complete software for my c7280 all-in-one. I can no longer control the color of the prints or the preview
screen. If I specify black cartridge only and print preview, I get a color print with no preview.
This problem is restricted to Internet Explorer 9.0 and does not show up when printing from Safari Window Version. I am running
on Windows 7, 32 bit, home edition. I did not have any problems with earlier versions of Internet Explorer. The Internet Explorer
seems to have many compatibility issues with many programs, but especially printing. Any fixes I can try, other than falling back
to an earlier version of Internet Explorer?

Hi breyeschow,
When printing from a Chromebook via Google Cloud Print, the printing options available to you are dependent upon the app that you are printing from. If the app does not have the option, there is not a way to adjust the settings of the printer to allow for those options.

Printing issue in smartforms (Bullets are printed as #)

Hi Guys,
I've an issue in printing one of the forms. I'm using bullets in the form and when I see the print preview, i can see the bullets.
But when I print the document, instead of bullets, I see '#'. Is it something to do with the printer drivers or anything I can do and prevent it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Infact it is a printer issue.
Please contact the printer incharge to configure the printer so as to print the bullets properly.
Regards,
Ram

When i transfer an photoshop image in Indesign, this one come out in very bad quality and pixelise even once print

Hello,
I have an issu, every image i bring or change trough Photoshop CS6 and transfer to Indesign CS6 or Illustrator CS6 comes out in very bad quality and very pixelated whyle printed.
The original image in photoshop is 29x32 cm with 300 ppp.
When i transfer in Indesign, i have to reduce the site via the adjustment button and it comes in terrible quality.
It never happen before, its just recently, and i didn't change my way to save or the properties of my Photoshop, so if someone can help me to resolve this problem, i will be glad.
Regards,
Marie

Before I should save the image as a PSD (without Clipping Mask and dont flatten the image). the print would come out different colours...not the same.
Are you saying the printer can't get a .PSD to output, or a PSD's color is unpredictable? Sounds like your printer can print .PSDs, but you have a color management problem. By different colors do you mean that the printed CMYK color values are different than what was in the placed PSD? If that's the case it may be that the PSD had a profile that conflicted with the InDesign document profile and you are getting unexpected color conversions somewhere in the workflow.

Opening an .eps in Photoshop - strange white areas around image?

C7250 All in One Printer keeps jamming papers that are printed from Word

I have already followed all directions shown in the videos in support and this has NOT fixed the problem.
The paper is jamming in the left hand corner when looking inside the printer. Something is too tight and catching the paper. Any suggestions?
Where can I take the printer to be fixed or do I have to send it to HP? If so, I;'ve been told it could cost me as much as a new printer. This printer is only possibly 2 years old. Any ideas??

I was having the exact same problem and came across this solution and it work!!!!!
I have seen this suggested in a HP Support Forum. See if it solves your problem:
1. Go to your printers folder, right-click on (the network connected) printer that you are having the problem with and select "Properties"
2. When the properties window opens, click on the "Ports" tab.
3. Near the bottom of the Ports tab window is a check box for "Enable bidirectional support", uncheck it and click "OK"
Good Luck

When I change stroke colour to white it turns grey

Hey I created an art brush with a black stroke, when I try to change its stroke colour to white(or any other colour) it turns a shade of grey. I have CMYK selected under the colour options and hue shift selected in the strokes properties
Any ideas?
Thanks

It actually is grayscale when you made it an art brush. Select the path with the brush stroke applied go tot he color panel you will see it is grayscale from the color panel select cmyk now select a cmyk color or color swach.
All will now be fine, you have to do this for each stroke
Hue Shift did not work as you have black to start with.
