B9180 glossy paper problem

hi  i have a hp b9180 printer and im trying to print on fuji inket glossy paper 270 grams......but alas it will not print glossy  it appears to come out rather a mild glossy  not like the real glossy of the actual paper...its fine on my epson printer...there is no drop down menu for fuji or  inkjet glossy paper under paper types....ive tried adding paper under new paper types to no effect...any ideas on how to get a real glossy photo from a glossy piece of paper   ?

The offshore HP technicians tell me that the Pro B9180 is not capable of printing on HI Gloss paper.  Even HP's own Neil Snape admits that there will be some light absorption differential with different colors.  My advice is save the $800 and have your glossies printed at a professional studio.

  • Default print tray keeps reverting to Tray 1, asking for glossy paper on HP P3015

    We have a new HP P3015 at work, and a few days ago it started defaulting to Tray 1, and asking for Glossy paper.  I have followed all onscreen instructions for changing print tray multiple times, and tried hard booting the printer a couple of times.  There is no paper in Tray 1, and it is shut.  For each print job, I must walk over to the printer and press OK to change print trays, and OK again to print.  How can I clear these settings so that the printer will revert to printing from Trays 2 and 3 without having to walk over and change it for every job?
    It also started printing much more slowly that when we first set it up a couple of months ago.

    switch off the printer, take the paper out of the tray, reassemble the paper properly, then put the paper back and switch on the printer, it should work
    or just change the paper specificationo in A4 legal paper it should work then

    My printer suddenly started refusing to print normal jobs on standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper. It shoots out a blank sheet with the edge slightly crimped for about 1 1/2 inches, about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the sheet. It displays the message "Paper mismatch. Paper size or type is incorrect." I have no idea what is causing this problem. It had printed perfectly up until now, but it has given the same error message for the last several different job attempts, and I'm stumped.
    I look into the printer from the paper tray and above, and see no obstruction. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

  • WONT PRINT ON GLOSSY PAPER

    I HAVE A HP PHOTOSMART D700 SERIES PRINTER. FOR SOME REASON IT WILL NOT PRINT ON GLOSSY PAPER. IT TELLS ME PAPER MISMATCH, PAPER WRONG SIZE OR INCORRECT PAPER SELECTION. I HAVE TRIED EVERY TYPE OF PAPER THAT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MACHINE. IT WILL PRINT ON FLAT PAPER WITHOUT A PROBLEM

    Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
    the power cord from the printer then from the
    wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
    wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
    up’ and restore the printer to a known good
    condition (if it is possible). No user settings
    are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
    This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
    tools to use when the printer hardware is not
    functioning properly!

  • Duplex Printing on Glossy Paper

    I have a MG 7150 printer. I am making a photo album but encountered a problem when I tried to print on my double-sided glossy paper. When I select any paper type, other than plain paper, the option for Duplex printing is 'greyed' out.
     I tried plain paper but,
    1. The print showed through from the reverse side.
    2. The photos were shocking!
    Is there a way around this?

  • Solid color printing on glossy paper 6500n

    Trying to print some brochures with some fairly large solid  areas (Pantone Reflex Blue C and 1235 C) on 32lb glossy paper. Printing from InDesign. Pictures look excellent but the solid areas look awful. Tried many different paper settings and other settings. Any suggestions for making it look at least reasonably better?

    Which version of OS X are you using?
    If you use HP photo paper, do you have the same problem?
    How is the printer connected to the Mac?

  • Cannot print on glossy paper any more

    I used to be able to print on glossy paper and no longer can do so.  Anybody know why.  I also cannot scan any more.
    I think I am missing some software but I have no idea how it got lost or how to get it back.  This has been going on for more than a year and I have been working around it but I need to use it now.
    Any help out there.  Thanks

  • CP1025nw printing on glossy paper

    I just purchased the CP1025nw. I bought HP laser photo paper, glossy, but the printer will not print a decent photo. It starts out OK and then the colors just smear together.  Any setting that should be done that I am not doing?  Or a different glossy paper I should be buying?
    Thanks....

  • Printing black on glossy paper

    I have the photosmart b210a. It is evident that if any type of glossy paper is slected as paper types then the black ink is not used and colours are used to make black, meaning alot of ink is used and black never comes out true black.
    I can get around the issue by setting the paper type to anything else then the black is used. Even if the paper is actually glossy photo paper the blacks then come out fine.
    Question: Why does the printer have this limitation? Will the printouts be compromised in any way by setting the paper type to something other than glossy when glossy is actually what is used?
    Why does this photo printer come with a setting that prevents the black being used on glossy photo paper even though it seems to work OK if you set the paper type to the incorrect type? Thanks.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on this. I am currently getting by by using the wrong paper setting but I would be interested if there is a solution.

  • My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.

    My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.
    Vista OS 32 bit.
    Paper jams completely with either single or multiple sheets.
    No changes to the system. Plain paper feed just fine.
    Thanks

    Hi antonaki,
    Did your printer accept glossy paper before and just stopped working with it ?
    What kind of glossy paper are you using and what is the weight ?
    Here is the product specs for your printer and a list of the types and weights of paper you can use.

  • How do I choose Epson Premium Glossy paper in CS4?

    I want to print some colour copies from Photoshop CS4 on my Epson Photo 360 colour printer but as I want to use Epson paper I want to stipulate Epson premium glossy paper before printing so that I can get the best result. I used to be able to enter this info into Photoshop CS3 (print/ page set up/ media type) but can't find this in CS4. Can anyone help please?

    With a document open, go to the File menu and choose ''Print". In the large window that opens, click on the Print button at the bottom; this brings up a small print dialog box. In that dialog box you'll see three pop-up type menus. Open the bottom menu and choose "Print Settings". In the print settings window you'll see a place to choose your "Media Type".
    Hope this helps.

  • Offset: Match a PMS coated on non-glossy paper?

    Hi, please help/inform
    I am new to offset printing, working for a church that is creating a great new graphic identity. I am working with a local graphic designer to print our newly designed items, and the first item we sent to print was a small envelope for donating money. Our designer showed us a digitally printed proof that looked very close to our colour, PMS 268 C. But, once they were offset printed, they were much lighter, close to PMS 268 UC. I was very disappointed, and realized I should have requesting coated stock, and I feel my designer is to blame for not mentioning this to me/showing me a misleading proof. Now we need to get a letter head printed, and she tells me that to match a Solid coated colour we must use glossy paper (she says glossy=coated). It is mind boggling to me that a digital printer can produce deeper, richer colours on uncoated paper than an offset printer can. I certainly don't want a glossy letterhead, but I cannot settle for such a inaccurate colour match. Is there something I'm missing? Is our designer doing something wrong? Is there anyway to get a match to a coated colour on uncoated or at least non-glossy paper?
    Thank you,
    Dalton

    I just wanted to follow up on this post incase there is anyone else experiencing what I experienced last year.
    I've read about coated paper with a dull finish, is that the solution? Is that something that is commonly used?
    The answer is absolutely not. Coated paper with a dull finish is like magazine paper, and many people erroneously refer to any coated paper as "glossy," hence my confusion. Letterhead on any coated paper is unusual.
    It is mind boggling to me that a digital printer can produce deeper, richer colours on uncoated paper than an offset printer can.
    Yet, but this is surprisingly true. Digital printers can achieve this because the ink sits on top of the page instead of soaking in.
    Is there anyway to get a match to a coated colour on uncoated or at least non-glossy paper?
    Other than some colours which turn out well in digital CMYK as I just mentioned, no, at least not to my knowledge.
    The mistake with the envelopes was using the 268 number, because (as John mentioned) 268 UC is not necessarily the best match to 268 C, it's just the same ink recipe.
    So, if you find yourself in my position, print digitally or choose the best match from the uncoated colour swatches.

  • HP Laser Photo Paper Problems

    I have a problem with my HP Color Laser Jet 1600 printer when I try to print on HP Laser Photo Paper. The toner does not stick to the front of the paper every where on the sheet and is transferred to the back of the sheet. This problem occurs with a package of paper that I have owned for a while and with a new package that I bought and opened yesterday. I live in Florida but my house is air conditioned to 78 degrees and has a low humidity. I can clean the rollers by printing on a few sheets of plain paper. The printer prints fine on plain paper. What do I need to to to use the photo paper?
    Morris Rosen

    In the printer settings on you computer, have you selected the right grade of paper? Ensure you select Photo Paper of the right type (matt or gloss) and correct weight/thickness.
    EDIT: just noticed that the original post is over 4 years old! However, for anyone stumbling across this with a similar problem, it may be useful (I experienced exactly what the original post describes when I forgot to set the paper type to Photo).
    Note: I do not work for HP, I just like playing with calculators :-)

  • Where is the option for Premium Plus Glossy paper?

    I have a new Photosmart B8550 and want to try some prints using glossy Premium Photo Paper. However, in the drop down menu list of the various types of papers to choose from, I don't see any listing for Premium Photo paper!
    The entry for 'Advanced Photo Papers' (with the 's', as if it's plural) is there, and there are a couple of entries that say Premium ..a simple premium paper and a matte presentation type. But I don't see anything to indicate a Premium Photo paper. So...very odd since there's is supposedly an actual HP Premium Photo Paper.
    Any idea what I have to do to actually see the option for glossy Premium Photo paper?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Out of Paper Problem

    Hi,
    I am a college student and I just got the hp envy 4500 e-all-in-on series. I have the 32- bit on my laptop.   I was able to use my printer to scan something one time, and now everytime I try to print something from my laptop it says Out of Paper when there is a whole stack in there!  I really need my printer and it is very inconvenient that it keeps doing this.  I have tried reinstalling the software several times and it hasn't worked.  I can't find any videos for my specific problem so I would really appreciate your help!!!
    Thanks,
