Artboards printing differenty on same file

Hello, I have a file of matching stationery set up (12 art boards) all using the same pantone colours. When printing, one of the artboards prints quite differently, lighter and brighter, colour mode is set up as CMYK. Not sure if its a printer or Illustrator issue! I am using CS6 on a Macbook pro, printer is and Epson WF7525. Any ideas? Thanks Suzanne

Here it is, its the menu that is printing differently, it actually prints more like the pantones the other are much blacker.

Are you trying to Print to PDF or are you trying to Print a PDF file to a physical printer?

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac). When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto). That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS. I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare. They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer. BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc. I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

Yes. I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website. I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end. Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple. Typical he-said, she-said...
Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

No printing :I can't print anymore, printing the same file with another program is ok, printing form LR (in the same system and printer of course :-) ): Preparing and Printing indicatorbar in the left hand upper corner are running and completing, but no output at all to my printer. I have been printing before. Next I upgraded to LR5.7.1 but the problem stays. Perhaps some adjustment is changed by me unintentionally, but I have no idea. Does anybody know what to check? Printing to file is also strange,the canvas only seems to accept A4, and crops any image relative to that size, so a 10x15 cm print on 10 x 15 cm paper is cropped to 10x15/2. Anybody any idea? (system win 8.1 64, printer HP B8550)

I accidentally solved my mystery. For some reason it was set to "print to file". I changed it to "printer" and now I am able to print.

Reader opens a new window with same file and crashes when trying to print

the wierd thing is that I have two Dell systems printing to the same HP 4015 printer, though when the other one prints there is no problem, and when printing to another printer the same error occurs, any other documents are fine. we've tried the drivers but since the error happens with other printers I don't think its a issue with the drivers or the printers. I did a quick search and found similar issue, though none with any results, if I've posted in the wrong area please point me in the right direction. any assistance would be greatly appricated.
thanks.

if it will be of assistance to any one, the resolution to the issue came when the profile was deleted and then recreated. we came to this conculsion when we created a new user proifile and tried to re create the issue. while not technically a direct fix the issue was resolved. its a hell of a lot better than some of the other resolutions online.

Linking Questions cs5: Linking within the Same file, Sharing links, file size bloat

I have to make print cards for my job. Print cards being a 1 page version of the Larger package layout that the place I work manufactures. On this print card is a section for customer info on top, and the print representation on the bottom. What I've been doing is using two files. The first file is the full-scale art on one artboard, and the customer info on the second artboard, but both within one file.
On the second file, I combine the two. I still use two artboard because it's a front and back print-off. The front page (1st art board, 2nd file), is the customer info at the top (linked from the 2 art board, 1st file) and the full art shrunk to fit below (also linked). the back page (2nd art board, 2nd file) is the individual elements of the artwork, zoomed in for easier viewing. For the second page, I use masked links from the fullsize art, sized appropriately. The reason it's important that they all use links, is so if I update the art, it will update the print cards as well.
I've been trying to stream-line this process. This works ok, but the numerous links bloat the file size, and I have to email these to customers. I've started using "Flatten Transparency" on all my Print cards (2nd file) and saving it as a separate .pdf. This cuts out the links, but then all of my masked images are hiding the whole original file behind their mask. So then I started manually cropping each individual masked area, which helps, but once I've gone through this whole process, I don't think I've saved any of the time my template was supposed to save.
file://localhost/Users/troubleinthemaking/Desktop/PRINT%20MINI%20EXAMPLE.pdf
My questions are these:
Is there any way to link to elements within the same file? Like from a different artboard?
I've successfully 'Placed' an artboard from the same file, back into that file (but a different artboard), but this creates a never-ending Save/Update loop. I'd like a better way to do this.
Is there a way to have all instances of a linked file, draw from the same place? i.e. When you update a single link, all instances of that Link would update. plus this would, in theory, cut down on the file size.
Is there any way to automatically have every masked link crop itself after using the flatten transparency command?
Even if I had to select them first. I haven't had any luck selecting them all and then using the pathfinder crop tool. I've had to do each one individually.
I know this last one can't really be answered without seeing everything on my machine. I don't even know what info I'd need to give...
WHY MY FILE SIZE SO BIG!
Thanks ahead of time.

Jefferson:
There's a few things you can do to make your files smaller, such as using the Action "Delete All Unused Panel Items" which will removed all unused Symbols, Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches from your Illustrator files. Those little items add up to bloating a file.
You also need to examine the images that you place into your Illustrator file. Any unnecessary layers or channels? Can the files be flattened before being placed in Illustrator? You can always keep a "working" Photoshop file of all that extra goobledeegook and then flatten the file and do a "Save As" and place that in the Illustrator file. And that could be a Photoshop EPS saved with a TIFF Preview and JPEG Encoding (Maximum Quality), which will save some MBs.
But, you should never sacrifice file size for quality. If these files are going to print, you should be using an FTP program to transfer the files and not email them. Email should not be used for files over 5 MB. If all you want to do is send the customer a Low Resolution PDF Proof for approval via Email, that's fine and dandy, but send the final large size files to the Printer via FTP.

Differentiating between same exception thrown from 2 different methods

Suppose I have a class CodeDAO which has 2 methods who both throw SQLException
public int getLocationCode(String locationName) throws SQLException;
public int getDepartmentCode(String departmentName) throws SQLException;Now I have a business method in which I have to use both of the above DAO methods.
public int process() {
   try {
      CodeDAO codeDAO = new CodeDAO();
      int locationCode = codeDAO.getLocationCode("NJ");
      int departmentCode = codeDAO.getDepartmentCode("Sales");
   catch (SQLException e) {
}If SQLException is thrown how will I know if it is thrown by the getLocationCode method or getDepartmentCode method?
What are the different choices I have in differentiating between same exception thrown from different methods? And which choice do you guys prefer?
Thanks

Edited by: srhcan on Aug 9, 2012 2:54 PMLet me ask you this, what do you plan to do in the catch block? Do some sort of recovery? rollback? If it is just for logging purposes, I am pretty sure the exception message will give you enough information to find out where the error was.* I would like to give user a specific message based on which method fails. So if getLocationCode("NJ") fails the message can be: Unable to find code for Location "NJ". And if getDepartmentCode("Sales") fails the message can be: Unable to find code for Department "Sales".
* I would like to print the exception's stacktrace in the log file.
* I may do a rollback depending on if its an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statement.Well, in that case why not log it in the DAO methods themselves...inside getLocationCode and getDepartmentCode. Instead of trying to do the recovery/logging in the process method, do it in the individual dao methods. The calling classes should not be responsible for logging/recovery etc. It should be done in the DAO classes themselves and the DAO method should return an appropriate message/code to the consumer tier classes indicating the status of the transaction. Just my 0.02$.

Is there a way to print multiple Indesign CS6 files...

...via a script or plug-in?
I periodically have to print many separate indesign files, and I'd like to be able to drag them to a droplet, or script on my desktop instead of opening each one individually and printing that way.
Thanks,
Scott

Create a book file (File > New > Book). Add the files to the book. Deselect all the files in the book file (none highlighted), then choose Print Book from the book panel menu.
Of course, all the files will print with the same print settings.

Multiple images of the same file on one page

How do I create multiple images of the same file on one page? For example, I've got an image that I could fit 6 of on one page, and would like to print it that way instead of printing it on 6 individual pieces of paper.

Are you attempting to do this in Adobe Workspaces? Or are you looking for software that will do it?
If the former, you could insert the image into a Buzzword document six times. Not exactly elegant, but it might do the trick.

[Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

Greetings !!
I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
Which app are you using?
I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either. I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today. Both times it said "Software Missing!" and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer." But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above. In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state. Everything appears to work fine at this point. Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step." I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it. I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics. Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ." I continued the installation without connecting to the printer. Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

Image not displaying correctly Photoshop CS5 Extended V 12.1. (Same file OK in PS Elements)

I am having a problem with Photoshop CS5 Extended V 12.1.
The problem:
When I open some files, some shades of BLUE colour is displayed as BLACK
However the same file opens and displays correctly if I open it using Photoshop Elements V9.0.3.
When I save the file as JPEG and re-open it, the problem returns.
Opening the JPEG file in any other application, including PS Elements, does not cause the problem
Source of files
The original files came from a Nikon camera, saved in RAW format. It is possible that the original files were corrupted in some way as the shots had an unusual blue cast - which was easily resolved by Photoshop when I originally opened the RAW files. However, I'm not sure.
The problem is not universal as I've not been able to reproduce it with any other files (RAW or JPEG).
I have calibrated my monitor display settings sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (default)
Other information:

Thank you for yur reply, Curt. Yes, I do have the original RAW file. When I open it in PSE and PS, the colours appear correctly AT FIRST as shown here:
However, when I select "Open Image", it appears as here:
You will see that the blues in the lady's scarf and the wolly hat of a man in the forground are appearing as black. However, when the file is saved as JPEG or PNG and printed or viewed using PSE or Pait, or any other medium (even Premiere Elements), the colurs arer fine.
However, the same process when followed in PSE, does not result in the same outcome. The image displays correctly.

Why does viewing the same file in two diff. versions of Photoshop give diff. results?

Hey,
Our designers use CS2 for their work. All of the designs that they work on are in black and white. When the same file is opened at a given zoom %, the files seem to have a different view for CS2 and CC. The print size ofcourse is the same, but our work involves viewing designs of 700 dpi at 3-5% and the difference in viewing the same files matters.
We want to upgrade our software, because CC is way better in so many other functions but this is the only thing that is stopping us from doing so. Please let me know if there's a way to fix this or is it just something we have to accept with the upgrade.
I will share screenshots of both the version with the same file soon.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris.
Same issue, new question - don't ask me why I did this, but while both Photoshop and the now corrupted file were open, I changed the name of the folder containing the file, then continued to save the open version of the file without first closing it and reopening it from the newly renamed folder. Could this have caused both files in that folder to become corrupted in different ways? The other file that gives me the "file is empty" error was not open at the time, but it was in that folder. I'm thinking maybe by changing the path to the files while Photoshop was running, that could have triggered this. ?? I have 3 1TB internal drives raided to read as 1 drive, so I'm really hoping that one of these disks is not dying on me as you suggested. I was also backing up an external drive using BackBlaze when this all occurred - any possible connection? How can I find out if one of my three raided drives (and which one) might be going bad?
Thanks!!

Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

Adobe Acrobat NI Pro doesn't recognize my wireless scanner, a Canon MG5520, but it prints from the same MG5520. This is ridiculous!

I just used the "Quick Menu" in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after wasting hours several days when the SSID and Network key/password were already activated and the Adobe software claimed no scanner was available. . These Adobe user manuals are next to useless. Now I'm still dealing with this problem: "Save As was unable to find tables in the document No file was created." (i.e., from the pdf file I created using NI). Well it's obvious there are tables in the pdf, but so far I haven't been able to get a result to determine the intrinsic accuracy of Adobe's pdf to Excel capability.
