Blue shade on photo prints

I am an amateur photographer and was very pleased with the photo prints of my HP officejet 6500 wifi.
However, after replacing HP blue and magenta ink units, recently (old ones were empty), the following problem occurs:
I have a blue haze on area's where it should be black/dark, mostly shade area's of a picture.
Dark brown, black, dark red, etc. all have a bluish haze and miss the original deep dark tone.
A light grey shade on a white picture turns into a bluish shade in stead of grey.
White remains white, and other colors seem correct too, though.
Initially it looks like a wrong white balance, but it is not.
Checked this on several monitors, and different PC's and prints at a photo service.
I print on HP photo paper (premium and everyday glossy).
I use Photoshop Elements 10.
I bought new HP ink cartridges again, but the problem remains.
I tried to figure out many settings, maybe I did something wrong, but could not find anything wrong.
I tried to bypass the problem for urgent prints by strongly reducing blue with Photoshop Elements 10, then blue disappears in real blue sections, but the blue haze problem remains.
Bottom line is that I cannot use my HP printer now for printing photographs, but need to for regular presentations at a photographer community where I participate.
Who can advise me what to do, what to change, where to adjust .... ?
Help !!!

  • Photos print dark

    Photos on my HP Photosmart 8250 print too darkly. The display on my Gateway NV53A is calibrated correctly. I can pull up a scanned photo and it matches exactly. A print will be several shades darker.

    Your printer driver may have color management options:

  • After last iPhoto update, my 8x10 photos print in the negative.

    I run on OS X Mavericks & iPhoto 9.5.1. All my 8x10 photos print only in the negative. Meaning where something is usually blue and green, it prints a crazy red yellow negative effect. All other size photos print fine. This is true even when printing from Preview or any other photography app. I'm not sure sure if this is an iPhoto issue or not but I would really like to print some 8x10 photos.

    Terence, thank you. My terminology was incorrect as I did mean to say printer driver. I had a very hard time trying to even update the printer driver as since my computer knowledge on Mac's are not the best. In the end, I deleted the printer, restarted my system, and added the printer. It now works! I really appreciate your help!

  • Improving photo print quality

    I had to delete CS3 and re-install it and now photos printed on my Epson picture mate do not look good.  I had this problem before, but don't remember the exact solution.  I could not find specific instructions for getting the best photo print quality by searching in the forums.  I would think this would be a big topic.  We all want to print the best quality pictures and once the instructions are well documented, I would think they would be easy to find.  Could someone help me out?  I am using Leopard.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    If it's just a color setting, you shouldn't have to download anything.
    I'm not sure if it's the same method in CS4 as in CS2, which I'm using, but you could just open Photoshop, select Edit from the top of the screen, and click on Color Settings…
    In there, you can choose one of the presets from the "Settings" drop-down menu: Monitor Color, North America General Purpose 2, North America Prepress 2, etc. Or you can manually select from various CMYK, RGB, Gray, and Spot working spaces below that. Just use whichever works best for you.
    Regarding not finding what you're looking for easily, I have a feeling it has something to do with lack of specifics. Your original post didn't really mention in what way your photos looked bad. If it's a color thing, are your photos too dark? Too light? Too blue/yellow? Or is it, instead, a resolution issue (too pixellated and/or blurry)? "My photos look bad" doesn't really provide enough info.

  • Officejet 4315 Photo Printing Problem

    Trying to print photo. Getting fax setup page instead. Help!

    make sure you're selecting the correct printer icon. there is a problem with Photo Printing Wizard and Photo Gallery in Windows Vista, where when trying to print, it does not select the default printer icon, and sometimes selects the fax icon.
    so double-check the FULL name of the printer icon before printing.

  • I'm getting a blue tint when I print a certain paper

    Recently I noticed that when I print on a certain paper (Epson Premium Ultra Luster Photo Paper) that a blue tint is being printed on the paper along with the image. This seems to be occurring whether I use a standard .icc file or a customized .icc file for this paper. Am using Adobe CS5 to manage colors, rendering intent relative colorometric. Am using an iMac with 10.6.8. and Epson 3880 printer. The only thing I can think that changed is I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 a few months back. If you look along the sides of the image below you can see what I'm getting.
    Just for the heck of it, I just printed the same image with Photoshop Elements 9, and I am not getting this blue cast.

    This is not going to help you, but I have never liked printing direct from Photoshop.  I use a Canon 9000 Pro, which came with an application called Easy Photo Print Pro, which other than being a ting bit more work to print an exact size, always gets colour how light/dark the print is, spot on every time. 
    I see Epsom have updated their guides to include PS CC.  I wonder if they have updated paper profiles.

    After Upgrade to os 10.6.8 from 10.5.8 Prints from CS4 and 5.5 Photoshop show blue tint outside the printing area, not so when printing from CS2. I could not beleive this was still an issue. Is there any known solution to this long ongoing and well known dispute between apple and adobe?

  • How to print with a Canon Compact Photo Printer CP-330?

    never found a so hard issue, I'm used to plug&play hardware...
    can anyone help me printing from iPhoto or Photoshop to a Canon Compact Photo Printer CP-330?
    I tried with Canon's drivers, with Gimp 5, anything... one time the printer started working, then stopped after the first pass (yellow color)... frustrating...
    thanks

    Hi there,
    If you have had no luck with the Canon or Gutenprint drivers then you may have a printer problem. Have you been able to print from it using your memory card directly connected?
    If you think/know the printer is okay then I would look at the cups error log to determine why the spool is failing. This log is located in the Console application.

  • Photo printing slow one line at a time

    My first time printing phots on my Officejet 4620 and it is taking 20 minutes per picture one line at a time. Very frustrated. Call the help line and was told tht how this printer works.....

    Many things can affect printing photos. Wireless connectivity (if applicable), paper size, print quality, software used to print the photo, printer design optimization (photo printer vs. office printer), security software used on your computer,  etc.....
    That being said, this photo printing document may offer some information of benefit:

  • 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.

  • HP z6100 Photo prints are too dark and magenta density is too high, etc...

    Hi,
    Here's the problem. I am having digital portrait photos printed at 20" by 26" in. for wall displays on an HP Z6100 designjet using universal adhesive vinyl. The test prints came back dark and with strongly pronounced magenta and red in the skin tones.  I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with:
    1. Is universal vinyl really the best print medium for this or would some photographic paper like luster or matte yield better results?
    2. I am not in control of the printing process itself, but would providing the ICC profile for the printer/paper combination make a difference in correcting this issue?
    3. The images are jpegs and the color space is sRGB. Should I convert them to CMYK for better results?
    4. Any other suggestions please.
    Thanks for any help.
