Adobe Professional 9.0 display and print quality.

When I installed Adobe 9.0 it viewed and printed fine. Now it's unreadable. What settings do I need to change to get the viewing and printing back to where it's readable?

This happened to me late last year and through this forum I was able to follow setting changes I believe in my Abode Preferences and it worked. Then my computer crashed, but when I reinstalled Adobe Professional it was fine.
Then, we hired a new assistant for me. She installed Abode Professional 9.0 on a new computer (different version of course), and it was working fine in the beginning like mine did, and then one day she previewed a pdf and printed and the quality of the print became so low quality you couldn't read the text. Pictures are fine. I know it has to do something with the setting in preferences, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I changed to fix this problem. You help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Size & Quality - Exporting Pix from iPhoto for Display and Printing?

I would like to export pictures from iPhoto for use in PowerPoint.
If the pictures are in 4x3 format, exporting them using the "Custom" size option and specifying 1024 as the maximum pixels results in nice 1024 x 768 photos that fill the screen on most projectors. This is good.
The exported photos are also at 72 pixels/inch. This is OK for onscreen display, but not so good for printing.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Can someone recommend a way to export a batch of photos from iPhoto at a specific size (1024 x 768) and perhaps 300 pixels/inch) that I might use in PowerPoint for both display and printing? And perhaps explain the bloated file sizes with no apparent quality increase?
Many thanks!

DPI is meaningless for a digital photo until you display it - Dots Per Inch are just a meaningless number - the displayed DPI is the size of the photo in dots (pixels) divided by the inches of the display measures in inches - the DPI setting in the photo means nothing - see The Myth of DPI for a longer discussion on this.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What's odd? you said export with the largest dimension 1024 - that occurred just as you specified - what would be odd would be that the export were different form your specification
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Higher quality means less compression (and therefore larger file size) - it does not mean a difference in compression - JPEGs have a compression from 1 to 12 available - iPhoto does 4 steps - small, medium, large and highest. I've not see the compression documented but I think of it as like 3, 6, 9 and 12

Forget the DPI - just be sure the pixel sizes are correct - for printing you should have at least 150 dpi and 300 dpi is better - so at 150 DPI printing your 1024x768 photo can be printed at 6.8" x 5.12 " -- at 300 dpi it would only 3.4" x 2.55"

Month view display and print format

An earlier version of iCal would display (and print) the current month without showing the last few days of the previous month and the first few days of the next month to fill out a week. Is there any way in version 3.0.7 to display and print in this format again?

How to display and print CCR showing not only results, high, low or normal, but also normal ranges of tests.

How do I display and print CCR showing not only my actual results, high, low or normal results, but also normal ranges of each test? I can do this individually but not for the composite CCR.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not exactly clear on what you are doing. I can tell you that the ranges and flags for high, low, and normal come from the lab results provider in the lab results they sent you, not from HealthVault. If you go back to the original document that came from
the laboratory, you should be able to open it as a document and print it.
I hope this helps. If not, please respond with more details, or if you'd prefer a private conversation, please contact HealthVault customer support by opening a support ticket with them.
Thanks,
Kathy

HT204135 I have two Epson printers and one Canon printer. Why am I unable to access the same print options on my MacBook Pro as I could on mp PC i.e. select paper type and print quality?

I have just purchased a MacBook Pro as my PC has finaly died.
I have three Inkjet printers i.e. Epson Photo PX700W Epson Photo R340 and a Canon Pixma ip4600 which I connected to my Mac and the print drivers were automatically downloaded. Now when I print using any of the printers the functionality PC i.e. Choice of paper and print quality settings. Is this all I get when using the Mac OS lion or should the functionality be on a par with Windows?

Depending on the application you are printing from, you may need to press the Show Details button in the print dialog to see all of the additional driver menus.
The image below is for the extended print dialog of TextEdit and for a Canon MP990 printer. The Show Details button is on the bottom of the print dialog and will change to Hide Details when selected. And with the menu changed to Quality & Media, you have paper options and print quality settings.

Display and print color matching

Hi all. I need help because I'm coming crazy.
I use Lightroom 5 to organize, edit, print and share my photos. I use an iMac 27" with Maverick installed, I calibrate the display using X-Rite color munki Display. I have a Canon 9500 Mark II printer and I like printing on Canon Fine Art Photo Premium Matte (FA-PM1), I also have a little Epson Stylus Photo P50.
Here we are…I want Lightroom to manage the color when I print and I select the right Icc profile for the printer and the paper but when I print with the Canon printer the prints came out with incorrect colors; last attempt the print came out too magenta. How can I make sure the printer is not managing the color in the printer dialog box? There is nothing that say "none" or "no color management". I'm getting better results with the little Epson printer rather then the more expensive Canon printer.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks a lot.

W-2 and 1099R display and print in Portal

Hi,
I need to get the W-2 and 1099 forms available for an employee in the Portal, they should be able to display and print these forms. (For W2C's I will use the standard W2 reprint request).
I have tried simulating PU19 but the parameters that needs to be passed is getting quite complex and I was wondering if someone has come across this very tricky development. I basically want the user to receive a screen with one dropdown, the year, the user can then choose a prior year and request the W2 or 1099 to be displayed and printable.
The client is on Enterprise 4.7 Ext2.00 with EP6 SP2.
Thank you very much and regards,
Ronald G. Meyer
Seems like I will be using a custom version of RPCTXSU0 for this. This doesn't seem to be something that is a requirement at clients as I had 0 responses ...
Edited by: Ronald Meyer on Mar 21, 2008 7:33 PM

I am reading the TemSe file which was sent to the Tax Authorities which I think is not an optimal solution as there is filename hardcoding involved but this seems to be the best option for now...

Re: MBP Retina with CS6, does OpenType display at print-quality?

Preface:
I'm a Graphic Design major. I have to work with a lot of text and with InDesign, obviously. On a non-Retina display, I can't trust my computer's screen to display text at print-quality. This means that I have to potentially print dozens of pages while working with text to be sure the kerning and adjustments I've made will print correctly.
Question:
I'm considering purchasing MacBook Pro the Retina version, but I need to be sure it's a good investment. I know Retina is suppose to "rival" the printed page. But are Retina and CS6 compatible and designed well enough that I can trust my computer screen to display text at the exact same quality as I would see on the printed page?
Background:
To give an idea of what I have to deal with on a normal computer screen: If I have InDesign open on a non-Retina display and I type out a line of text, if I then zoom the screen in and out and watch the text closely while doing this, it will appear as though the relative width of some lines and the distances between letters are changing. (You should easily be able to confirm this on your own computer.) For example, the stem of one letter might appear to become fatter than the stems of others at one moment, and then may appear skinnier than others at another moment.
Obviously this means I can't trust what I see on the computer screen when I'm working with text. And that's a serious issue for me.
I assume this occurs as a consequence of the conversion process between vector-to-pixel format for OpenType text combined with the low resolution of the computer screen I'm working on. Going to Retina display may help eliminate one of those issues, but if InDesign CS6 was not designed to take full advantage of the Retina display, then this problem may still persist on the higher resolution screen.

Thanks for that quick response Dendrek.
It is so hard to convince myself not to give in to the expensive temptation of the Retina MBP when I have all but completely convinced myself that I really need it! I probably will go for it anyway - since I am upgrading from my mid 2007 17" Macbook Pro which is currently at Apple Service, awaiting final verdict on whether I will need to pay for a new display, the decision seems to be a lot simpler for me. Will buy the rMBP and hope that the Adobe team catches up soon enough (and that an update to InDesign is part of their "make CS Retina optimized" plan for later this year). Like you said, it is just a matter of ID pixel-doubling everything.
On a side note - Until such an update arrives I was thinking of trying to use my (3rd generation) Retina iPad with Air Display as a second "preview display" for InDesign documents - using the document in "New Window" feature of InDesign, which allows you to have a duplicate view of the same document at its own zoom settings, with live changes. Am not sure if this configuration works as logic dictates it should (since the latest version of Air Display is apparently Retina optimized and should therefore show the document at full resolution), but will give it a shot as soon as I have access to a Mac again. Have you ever tried this setup to achieve the "print-quality" preview that you and I (and many others) want to see? Would need a Retina iPad of course.
Thanks again for your input.

Forms created with Adobe Professional 10 can't be printed

Hi,
For some reason I have the problem that I have several forms and I want my clients to fill those out. The forms were created in Adobe Professional 9, and later created with the Adobe Professional 10 or actually with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The forms were created in Word and adapted in livecycle designer.
On my computer I as well have Adobe Reader 7. The forms are then sent from the customer back to me, but I can not print them using Adobe Professional 10, But there is the possibility to open the forms with Adobe Reader 7 and print it which works just fine.
Now, the customer has to print out some forms on their own to sign them and send them back to us. As far as I am informed the customer has Adobe Reader 8 or 9, depending on the the department they work in.
About a solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks in
advance!

The forms are then sent from the customer back to me, but I can not print them using Adobe Professional 10,
What happens when you print the forms?

Display and Printing Problems

I am using Photoshop CS5 extended on a minimac running 10.7.4. I have the lastest updates from Adobe installed for the Adobe Creative Design Premium Suite 5.5. I am having problems with photos not displaying correcting, but not all the time. This may sound strange. I am working on a project for a client with outside floor samples. The samples have smooth areas along with pitted or valleys patterns in it. When the photo is displayed in photoshop it displays correctly for a time. I can leave the photo up or I can reopen the same file and the valleys and pits that are suppose to be displayed are now reversed and display as mountains or like a relief type of effect and prints that way too. Hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and can help.
This same problem occurs in Bridge CS5. The photos will display correctly for a short time but then the photos are reversed with the all the valleys pattern showing as mountains. I have deleted the cache, but to no avail. If I change to anothe folder go back to the original sometimes this clears the problem but not for long. So what gives?

Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully this will help.

Aperture, Display and Printer Color Match/Profile Calibration ?

I need to calibrate my HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m Printer to match what I see on my Acer X223w 22 inch display when using Aperture 3 and Photoshop CS5
The colors are pretty close to matching but each photo I print comes out deeper in color ( shadows and highlights are off )
I have the Acer display Color Profile set to Adobe RGB 1998, All photos shot with my Nikon D5000 in RAW format and Color Profile Adobe RGB 1998,
Aperture 3.03 Proofing Profile Adobe RGB 1998 and when I print a photo I set HP Color Matching / ColorSync to Adobe RGB 1998
I've been using Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201 for prints but can't find a profile for it to add to my HP Printer.
If I did find a profile how would I install it so it would show up in the drop down list of paper types ?

Well I'm pretty amazed that the prints are just slightly off, with all the things you're doing wrong in color management.
First off, you don't seem to know the difference between a device profile and a working space (i.e. 'synthetic' profiles), since you assigned AdobeRGB to both your monitor and printer. You should profile your printer and display with special hardware, like the X-Rite Colormunki. This will generate a profile, that will translate how color should look theoretically (by the assigned working space e.g. AdobeRGB), to how they will look on the hardware.
Secondly, RAW-images do not have a color profile! The setting in the camera only applies to in-camera JPEGs. RAW files only contain the voltages the CCD measured, this has to be translated into in image later.
Thirdly, softproofing in AdobeRGB almost never makes any sense. It doesn't make any sense if your are softproofing in AdobeRGB if you want to match screen to print. Your softproofing profile should be the profile that is specific for your printer and paper combination. The only synthetic profile that makes sense to softproof to is sRGB, since that is the colorspace used on the web. And even that is disputable since 99.9% of web user do not have a calibrated/profiled monitor.
Fourthly, Adding a color profile will not add a paper type to the drop down list in the printer driver. These are hard-coded in the printer driver and basically determine the amount of ink being placed on the paper.
So I'd suggest at this point to fetch yourself a copy of 'Real World Color Management' by Bruce Fraser (ISBN 9780321267221) and read it from the front to the back before you again embark on the path of color management.

PDFs display and print fine in Acrobat but not in Preview of PDFPenPro

I have a curious problem in that check boxes in certain PDF files (insurance applications) appear as a "p" instead of a check box when I view the file in Preview or PDFPenPro. The check boxes appear and print properly when I open the PDF in Acrobat.
I've checked the fonts with the Apple Font utility and there seems to be no issues with any of the fonts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again?

Tints and CYMK - Whats the difference for screen display and print

Hi,
What is the 'technical' difference between a tint and CYMK? For example, if i create a box with a fill of C:0 Y:0 M:0 K:40 is this the same as a black fill with 40% tint?
Knowing that all screens and printers give different results, is the difference even noticeable? What about 'best practice' / 'industry standard'?
Workflow/context- I create artwork (documents with combinations of images, graphics and text) in either Ai or ID which all go to PDF and I present them either on screen or through print (regular printer - none of my printed artwork use printing plates).
Thanks for your advice in advance.

A tint is just a lighter version of your swatch, so yes, 0,0,0,40 CMYK is exactly the same as using the [Black] swatch and setting the tint field in the panel down to 40% or creating a tint swatch with a 40% value.
Not all colors are CMYK. On screen you use RGB and most desktop printers expect RGB data as well. On press you might use spot color inks if you have only one color and tints of that color to add, or you need some color that can't be easily produced in CMYK in a full-color job. You probably shold not be using spot color in your work since you don't go to press and printer simulations of many spot colors are quite bad. You'll find the really saturated colors tend to be out of range for most printers, too, if you use RGB, but if you can accept that your printed output may not match the screen (and unless everything in the workflow is calibrated, including ALL the monitors you might be working with and all the printers you might use for output, output on remote devices probably won't match what you see on your own monitor and printer), I would design for the screen if that's the primary presentation and let those out-of-gamut colors geet clipped in print.
Printing tints is a little trickier than you might think. Dot gain (how ink spreads as it is absorbed into paper) tends to make tints seem a little darker in print.

CMYK images: strange monitor display & and printing

I tried the way Pages 2 handles CMYK images today and found out some strange things.
My problem: monitor display
CMYK .jpg files are displayed inverted on screen like a negative - black is white and white is black. Layouting basicly rendered useless. Is there a work arround ?
Solved: Printing
For printing there are at least two ways to get a decent result. Here my findings:
- Any color printers
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Standard" => CMYK images get converted to RGB
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Printer specific" => CMYK images stay in CMYK if printer is able to print CMYK
- use "Save to PDF" within printing dialog
Same as above, profiles tagged to images stay correct
- Adobe Acrobat Distiller
Same as above, but PDF looses recognizeable profile information. PDF workflow software does not recognize "SWOP" or "ISOcoated" by name but has "Embedded Adobe Postscript CRD Profile" instead which will create problems in workflow processing.
- Exporting "File - Export - PDF"
Profiles stay intact and are handled correctly.
