    I am having difficulty finding where to set our network Konica Minolta bizhub C280 printer to print black and white instead of colour from my macbook pro with OSX 10.8.2. I dont want to change the default printer settings, just change individual document print settings. Can anyone please assist me as to where and how to do this?

  • How to create a black and white text clip?

    I'm using pro Cs4 and was wondering how do I create a black and white text clip?  When I used Vegas there was a clip I could put in, and simply write whatever I needed.
    Still getting used to Pro Cs4 and was wondering if anybody can help me.
    Thanks!

    Do you wish to have a black field w/ white text, over part of an existing Video Clip, or do you want just a black field w/ white text and not have any Video showing through?
    For the latter, just do a Title in Titler, w/ white text, and place that on the Timeline.
    For the former, let us know the exact details, as that is slightly different.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    [Edit] as a little background, when in Titler, you will see a "black" background, but that is really Transparent. However, if placed on the Timeline, with nothing below it, it will show black.

  • Good graphics for black and white books?

    Can anyone suggest a website where I can get good compostion ideas for black and white work, layouts for books? Actually I’m working on a book on house designs so would like to get ideas for visual layouts for the same, captions, blow-ups etc.The book would have 3d sketchup model views of different types of house designs.

    Maybe a library or bookstore would be a better source, since you're designing a book.

  • Where are the scanner mode (color, black and white) saved on a windows 7 machine?

    We have 30+ Canon 2580c scanners and the users are constantly changing to color scanning and forgetting to change it back to black and white.
    I'm trying to figure out where these settings are saved.  I have compared full registry dumps before and after changing the mode but do not see any differences that look scanner related.  There is a file setscan.ini the appdata/roaming/isis drivers folder that gets the date modified updated each time but nothing is changed in the file.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi mswalter2012.
    I will be glad to assist you.  When using the CapturePerfect program, I recommend using the [Scan Job] setting.  There are two jobs already registered in the program.. You can select [Color Document], which is 24-bit color as Simplex 300 dpi, or [Binary Document], which is black and white as Simplex 200 dpi.  To create a new job, please follow the instructions below:
    1.  Select [Create/Delete Job] in the scan menu.
    2.  Select a number to register a job, and then click [Create/Edit].
    3.  Enter a title for the job.
    4.  Click the drop-down for [Function] and select where you want the scan to be sent.
    5.  Click [Detail Settings].
    6.  Click the [OK] or [Save] button to close the settings.
    7.  Click [OK] to close the [Create/Edit] window.
    To scan using the saved scanned job, select [Scan Job] from the CapturePerfect file menu.
    I hope this information is helpful.  Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

  • Setting default printer for Black and White

    I have no problem setting up my printer to print black and white only using my pc, but am having difficulty setting the default for the printer on my OSX 10.5.2. I've read the posts and can't locate where this setting is done. I even removed the printer and tried readding it without any success. So, how do I set my HP Officejet to print in black and white as a default and allow me to print in color when needed?

    You could use the built-in presets facility to make a b&w setting and a color setting. Then when you print, you simply select the appropriate preset. Also, the last preset that you use will be the default next time you print, so this can also help speed up your printing.
    Reply if you need instructions for creating presets.
    One final point. Some applications, such as MS Office, have a 'Print One Copy' printer icon in the toolbar. When you use this shortcut, the print dialog is not opened - the file simply prints. For these types of application, the preset is not used so that job will print in color if that is the default printer function. But you can change the toolbar icon function so that it opens the print dialog instead of just printing. Again, if you need instruction then please reply.

  • Cutting for black and white photo.

    I am VERY new to this elements 6.0 . I am trying to convert color photo of a face but want to keep the eyes blue but can replace only one eye in the photo. Can anyone help me!!!!! Please!!!

    Christa,
    It's not really clear what you are trying to do. I'm guessing you want to convert a color picture to black & white but retain the color eyes. If so, here is one way:
    1. Add a Hue/Saturation layer and move the Saturation slider all the way left to remove all color.
    2. Set the foreground/background colors to their default black & white values.
    3. Zoom way in to enlarge the eyes. With the Brush tool paint with black to reveal the color, with white to remove excess color. Type "x" to toggle between the black and white.

    If that is not what you want to do, please explain further and what steps you took that you could do only one eye.

  • Cp1518 - on a mac - is there a way to choose only black and white printing only rather than overide?

    as above - can I just choose to do black and white only, or grayscale pictures on my cp1518?  alot of the time that is all I want.
    Thanks

    I suppose that would have helped! Here is an image. I am imagining a more "white" look even with a transparency. I have to print this 4c digitally, and i'm worried because my printout looks even more orange-y/pink than what you see on screen.
    I will try what you suggested in Photoshop, but let me know if you think of something else once you see the image.
    Thanks!

  • Laserjet 500 color consuming color toner printing black and white text

    How can I prevent the consumption of color toner when printing black/white text documents (pdf in Adobe Acrobat)???
    I just finished printing about 2200 2-sided pages in Adobe Acrobat pdf files, all black/white text, on my 500dn.  The color toner appears to have been consumed as I am getting signals that my yellow and magenta are below 10%.  They were over 40% when I started the project.

  • Kernal panics black and white text as well as regular KP screen

    Bought a used Powerbook Alum 15" 1.5 mhz. Almost continually having kernal panics. Started out being just the regular ones, and could not trace it to anything special, so after DW said there were problems with the HD, installed a new one. Helped for a while, but they began again. Tried to do software update tonight and it kept killing and having KP. It's gotten so that a restart gives me a black screen and nothing else. Complete stall. After 4 or 5 tries, finally got a boot to finish. BTW, always got the processor bong, but nothing else. On a java update tonight, got the we are hanging KP. then another, which I copied in full.
    KP tonight was all white text on black background, as follows. Sorry if I missed some caps:

    I know this is a lot of stuff, that I know zero about, but does this mean anything to anyone? Can you suggest the next step I might take to track down the issue? TIA

    Probably I can't be of too much help since I can't read panic logs, but here is an article on resolving kernel panics in general:

    Have you tried reseating your RAM? I have heard that RAM can be a factor in kp's.

  • How to preset printer to black and white print only

    I have and OfficeJet J6480 printer and use a Macbook OS X v 10.5.8.  How do I preset the printer to print in black ink only?

  • What are the best export settings for video with small text?

    I am making videos of lectures (where slides show up next to a small video of a person talking). I would like the text to show up as legibly as possible, all while maintaining a small file size (smallest possible) and still maintaining quality. What would you recommend? The slides change every couple minutes or so, but I don't wnat to reduce the frame rate becuase I do have that small video in the corner. Which settings and format are best? Also, I'll be uploading this to Youtube.
    THANKS!

    Keep in mind that the small video in the corner does not require as high a data rate as a full screen video. So, if a full screen video requires, let's say 5Mb/s for a talking head, you might be able to get away with 2Mb/s or less for the entire frame with a little video and a lot of static slide. Also remember that the less motion in the video, the lower the bit rate can be.
    Try it out.
    Use the H.264 preset for YouTube at the same frame size as what you are editing, and then reduce the data rate to half normal. Export and check out the quality. Then halve it again and check the quality. Keep going until the quality is unacceptable then go up a little. Find your sweet spot.
    It is subjective. You have to decide the lowest bit rate you personally can accept and still be confident that the client will be OK with it.

  • For black and white images in technical manuals, which format do you prefer?

    So, I'm new at this company, and the person who is training me uses the EMF format for the images on the manuals.
    Do you think a PNG file would be a better option for illustrations?

    > ... 90% of the manuals are digital (burned into a CD)
    Presumably as PDFs, which the ends users then either view on line or print locally?
    > ... and 10% are printed in grayscale.
    On what type of press?
    You probably want the images optimized for on-line viewing.
    In the case of line art, this means staying in vector form, so that it scales cleanly, and using a stroke weight that is optimized for typical resolutions and convenience printing.
    In the case of raster art, this means having enough resolution to maintain detail at reasonable zoom, and on convenience printers.
    For vector, we normalize stroke weights to about 0.2 point, save as EPS and import the EPS. On Frame versions later than 7.x, PDF import might also be stable, and preserves vector as vector. SVG I haven't tested.
    For raster contone (grayscale or color), avoid JPEG in the workflow. It is lossy and introduces artifacts. Never use it for screen shots or scans. Even if your camera image is JPG, convert it to an uncompressed form during edit and post-processing, such as PSD. Our target delivery resolution for contone is 200 dpi. This is slightly more than our press can resolve, but provides a bit of zoom for PDF viewing. We save the final images as EPS, and import those. TIF is also OK for this application (uncompressed). We select the compression level during PDF generation.
    For bitmap images, again avoid JPG. We optimize these for 600 dpi (our press resolution), save and import them as TIF (EPS is really clumsy for bitmap).
    EPS is a bit annoying to work with in Frame, as what you see during edit is a thumbnail or preview (72 dpi), but what renders to Ps or PDF is original vector or full raster. But EPS is fast, rock solid, and (if you need it) can preserve original CMYK color into the Ps or PDF.
