Aperture printed image offset by 1/4" on Epson 7800 printer

I'm using Aperture 3.2.4 with System 10.7.4, and Epson 7800 printer, iMac.  Have printed many images, working properly.  But recently, every printed image is offset 1/4" up.  It looks correctly centered in the printer setup screen, but when printed, the bottom margin is 1/4" larger and the top one 1/4" smaller.  For this printer, the bottom margin is supposed to be fixed at 0.56" (9/16"), and it always used to be, and that's what the setup screen still says it is.  But now the printed image's bottom margin is 0.81" (13/16"), even though the setup calls for .56". 
I've tried to compensate by adding 1/4" to the top margin, and that does bring the printed top margin up from 5/16" to 9/16", but the bottom margin remains 13/16"
Anyone have any ideas?

I don't know why it is, just that it was a bug that was revealed about a year ago. I had similar problems with my 9800 and could not for the life of me figure out the cause. I had Epson telling me it was the humidity. I had Chromix telling me to put the UV filter on my Spectrolino, and it all came down to the default printer. Not sure exactly where I read about it first, but I'm glad that one more person now knows.

  • Image offset to the right

    Why is the image offset to the right when I try to print in landscape mode? On a print the title block is mostly off the page to the right and it prints like this on both of my printers.

    Okay, I figured out a fix. Here's the deal:
    The Tablet PC Settings control panel has radio button options for Right-handed and Left-handed menu appearance - the menus are supposed to appear to the left if you're right handed, and vice-versa if you're left handed. I had changed the setting to match my right-handedness. The default setting was Left-handed.
    Apparently, the CS4 Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator interface isn't compliant with this handedness feature of the tablet UI. Acrobat Pro and Bridge work fine with handedness settings and I haven't checked the rest of the suite applications.
    If someone running Vista with a Wacom tablet can check this out with the right-handed menu setting to confirm it's not just my system, I'd appreciate it.

  • Using less ink for aperture printing

    i need to print photos for temporary use -
    i do not need to worry about quality -
    i want to use as little printer ink as possible.
    i just need a simple image to place them on a layout.
    should i resize them and keep them as a version for
    doing this?
    and how would i do this?
    deb

    There should be a quality setting in the print options for your printer. Depending on the model, the options may be named differently, like "draft" quality, etc. That is not an Aperture option. Those options should appear in a separate dialogue box after you've gone through all the Aperture print options. In the last Print dialogue box, make sure the triangle next to the name of your printer is pointing up to reveal all the printer's options.

  • Aperture printing problem

    I have an epson cx2400 which doesnt come with icc profiles (Just a generic profile) so I struggled to get decent prints until discovered that letting the printer manage the process in lightroom gives good results. But, I would like to use Aperture 2 as my preferred software and when I set the print settings to "system managed " and set the same printer driver settings as in lightroom my prints are light and washed out. Any ideas ? (raising the gamma in the aperture print settings area to 1.2 [as I have seen suggested in some forums] doesn't help)

    I also have the 2400.
    Here are a few settings to make sure you check:
    under Printer Selection, Choose Printer Settings:
    Print Settings: Media Type (I use Premium Luster Photo Paper), Mode (Use Advanced), Print Quality: (Photo RPM - deselect High Speed)
    Color Management: Turn OFF (No Color Adjustment)
    and Save.
    Pick the Correct Color Profile under Colorsync Profile, and you should be set.

  • Aperture 2 Image Preview Corruption?

    I just installed Aperture 2 (upgrade) this weekend, and am noticing that eventually, after several minutes of use, image previews (main window, not thumbnails) will start becoming corrupted. The corruption looks like streaks or bands of altered color data. Once it begins, it will persist for most new images that are clicked on. If I quit Aperture, I've noticed the behavior continue with other images (i.e. my desktop background). A couple times, this has also been followed by a system crash.
    I'm running on a Dual 2.0 GHz G5, 3.5 GB, OS 10.5.2. Vast majority of images are RAW from a Canon 20D. Prior to updating Aperture, my system was fairly stable - the only crashes I would typically see were sleep-related.
    Anyone else see similar behavior? I should note that when I've relaunched Aperture, the image previews are no longer corrupted, so I don't think anything is wrong with my photos themselves...
    Thanks for any insight!

    Well, I think I finally found the answer to my problem... bad RAM. My system has been rather flaky recently - apps crashing randomly, so I started to think there were other issues going on. After reinstalling the OS had no effect, I finally figured I'd test the RAM. Sure enough, one of my pairs of DIMMs was bad (go figure it had to be the big 2GB upgrade I added). After I took them out, my Aperture imports have worked normally. It hasn't been very long, so I can't comment on whether that solved the system stability problems, too, but it's a good bet it has...

  • Aperture Printing Fun and Games (aka trial and error)

    Hi,
    After getting over the anxiety attack caused by the bad 2.2 raw update, I finally got around to playing with Aperture trial. Nice interface, liked the keywording and so on, so decided to see how the printing went - and that's when the fun started.
    Printer: HP Photosmart 8230 with up-to-date drivers
    Camera: Nikon D40, shooting RAW (NEF files)
    Test Print 1 - iPhoto as a control example - lovely - came out very close to on-screen (correct paper and color managed as colorsync/RGB chosen in printer dialog),
    Test Print 2 - ViewNX as a control example - produced stunningly sharp photo very close to on-screen using the same printer settings as iPhoto
    Test Print 3 - Aperture print options set up as per Apple Article 302821, printed on same paper as previous tests, comes out slightly dark, with faint yellowish cast.
    Test Print 4 - changed colorsync profile from the specific HP paper to "System Managed" and set color at printer to Colorsmart/RGB. Totally sucked - very dark.
    Test Print 5 - retained colorsync profile as system managed, changed printer color to "Application Managed colors" Totally sucked exactly the same as Test 4.
    Test Print 6 - Lightroom 2 print using "managed by printer" profile - very nice print and close to on-screen
    Test Print 7 - Lightroom 2 print using specific paper profile - identical to Test 6
    To summarise - printing from Aperture does not produce as close a match to on-screen as iPhoto or ViewNX or Lightroom 2, even though the reverse should be true. If I want Aperture to print something like what I'm seeing, I have to up the gamma, increase saturation and contrast, and also increase print sharpening, which kinda defeats the point of having a big screen and lots of adjustment options.
    Any suggestions on what to do next would be most appreciated.
    Regards,
    Calx

    I admit it is very frustrating at first but woorth pursuing. There are many threads on here about this and many including myself have solved the problem. One thing I notice is that you are using System Managed. This is not the way to do it. Another thing is that you continually have to check Colorsync.
    The set up dialgue could be more intuitive but if you follow it carefulyl it does work. I woudl expect that this will be improved at some stage. Remember too in doing this you are being given flexibility; flexibility to make superb prints and the converse - flexibility to fail. On teh way to gettin my 'ooh - ahh' prints I have my share of disasters. This is not a click and go instant gratification game.
    good luck.

  • Is Aperture displaying images with a modified color temp. or gamma?

    I am brand new to Aperture and after importing some scans from black and white negatives, I notice that the same images when viewed in Preview or Photoshop appear brighter and perhaps cooler (but it is hard to tell with black and white images).
    I am just trying to discover why Aperture displays images a little differently than other applications.
    Thanks in advance.
    D

    the same images when viewed in Preview or Photoshop
    Comparison across applications is meaningful if and only if the image has the selfsame source ICC colour space profile. Begin by checking that the image has an embedded source ICC colour space profile. There are lots of ways, either run one the ColorSync AppleScript that extracts the embedded profile, or open the image in Apple Preview and check Tools > Get Info > Summary: ColorSync Profile, or open the image in the Apple ColorSync Utility, or open the image in Adobe Photoshop (which will describe an image without an embedded source ICC colour space profile as 'Untagged RGB', 'Untagged Gray' or 'Untagged CMYK'). If instead you open an image without an embedded source ICC colour space profile in a series of side-by-side application windows, these applications will assign an assumed source ICC colour space profile and the sources they assign may not be the same. In order to configure a conversion you have to have a source and a destination: no source, no colour managed conversion, so a source has sometimes to be assigned.
    Hope this helps,
    Henrik

  • HT4007 Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    If the camera is listed here OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats or here Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats then the raw image file is supported by Aperture.
    If the camera is not listed then as Keith wrote if it produces JPG's they can be imported into Aperture.
    If you told us what camera you were interested in it might help.

  • Image Capture will not recognize my Epson Workforce 615

    Image Capture will not recognize my Epson Workforce 615. It would not recognize my HP 4280 either.
    I can print but I cannot scan using Image Capture. Scanning through Epson scan or HPScan Pro works.
    What am I doing wrong? I have searched all over the net for an answer and there does not seem to be a solution. Only other people searching for the same answer.
    And no I do not want to use VueScan.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your quick reply. I ran all of the updates and the software is current.
    Image Capture recognizes the printer/scanner via USB but not WIFI.

  • PC prints to Epson 7800 good from CS5- bad from Lightroom

    I run a small govt photolab.  I am on a network running the whole CS5 suite.  Printing from photshop using the default setting everying comes out roughly the way it looks on the screen.
    Printing from Lightroom the colors are way off, or they're flat.  I've tried different, including one from the paper manufacturere (Ilford)  No luck.
    We are not very sophisticated here.  This is not fine art printing and we don't use any kind of calibration. But when i  had a Mac everything went from the screen to the print accuratly.
    I've tried converting to JPEG first along with a few other random efforts, but I'm not making any progress.
    Thanks

    A few questions (or skip to the para below):
    Do you start with jpeg or raw?  If jpeg, what colour space?
    What working space is set in Photoshop - is it sRGB?
    Are your monitors colour-managed (calibrated and profiled with hardware colorimiters)?
    Are your printers capable of colour management - do they take account of the profile of the image being printed - or alternatively do you colour-manage from Lightroom and Photoshop, and have the driver set to be colour management aware but also set so that the driver knows that the program is doing the colour management?
    If you're not sure of the answers to these questions, then try this: print from Lightroom, but in the Color Management panel (bottom right of print module) set the profile to sRGB (or sRGB IEC61966-2.1 or similar).  Does that make a difference?  Does it now print images the same as Photoshop?
    If setting a profile of sRGB IEC... makes a difference, then the reason for the problems is probably that the printer doesn't recognise image profiles (or has colour-management turned off).  Lightroom always uses ProPhoto colour space as its Working Space.  If you print and select the profile as "managed by printer", then Lightroom sends the image to the printer in ProPhoto colour space.  If the printer can't colour manage (doesn't recognise and act on embedded profiles) then ProPhoto images will look very flat and desaturated.
    If it looks OK in Photoshop, I'm guessing you've got the Working Space set to sRGB (Edit menu, color settings, and top line in the "Working Spaces" box near the top of the dialogue). 
    If printing in LR using sRGB profile fixes the problem, then job done, but it also suggests you might not be using colour management in the printers, so you might do better with colour-mangement in the printers and appropriate profiles and calibrated and profiled monitors. 
    PS - just noticed you're using Epson 7800 printers which I'm sure are capable of colour-management, but I guess you may not be using colour-management (that is, not specifying a printer profile and enabling colour-management, which defaults off in Epson printers).

  • CS3 and printing to an Epson 7800 (Mac OS10.5)

    I have an Epson 7800 printer. With Photoshop CS3 not all the print setting choices are available(after hitting "Print" from the first, new Print Dialog window). I get the new Print Dialog window, but when I hit Print and then try and choose Print Settings or Color Management (for example) they are all crossed out. When will an update be available that corrects this? Right now I have to access printing thru CS2 so that I can set everything as needed; in particular, turning off the printers Color Management! As a further note, on the Epson 7600 everything is available via CS3 and the new print dialog window--there is no problem. Again, the problem seems to stem from CS3 plus the Epson 7800. Thanks.

    I had this problem in April 07. Wish I wrote down how I solved it because I upgraded to Leopard and have the same problem with the lines running through color management etc in the print dialog box. I found one guy on the Mac helpline who knew the answer. It was a simple fix.

  • Aperture printing greyed out after printing 1 image?

    HI
    I print 1 image fron my library and the printer icon greys out and is non-functional. Why?
    I can still print using the "Command" key+ "P "

    Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out.  My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
    The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address.  In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive.  (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)

  • TS3946 Aperture Book: images look fine in Aperture but not in PDF preview.  OS 10.9, Aperture 3.4.5

    Aperture 3.4.5, OS 10.9.  When making a PDF prior to ordering a book, I note that images look fine within Aperture book module, but about 10 out of 100 images look terrible in the PDF.  Shall I ignore this and go ahead and order the book?

    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? 

  • Pan | Zoom: how to get image offsets when panning

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the Pan | Zoom control to show images, allowing zoom and pan. I haven't found yet a way to infer the X,Y offset of the part of the image that it's displayed in the imageviewer visible rectangle. I need these details in order to print objects and markers at the right place over the image.
    Is there some hidden or simple way to get these informations?
    Thanks,
