C7280 photo print colors off for PicBridge images

I have a new C7270 that prints photos that are too yellow when printing directly from USB camera.  I've performed a comparison of the same photo printed by the C7280 and also by a brand new Epson Artisan 800.  The color of the print from the C7280 is way too yellow, while the Epson seems correct, especially in the whites and skin tones. 
I also tested each printer using the Digital Dog test photo and the C7280 blew away the Epson ... hands down.  I'd love to keep the HP, but the camera prints are not acceptable.  Are there perhaps some type of auto color adjustments being done that I am unaware of when using PicBridge?
Thanks for reading!  

My suggestion about using the onboard USB is to rule out both the USB & WiFi ports.
If printing from the 8625 USB port produces the same results then you may have a defective printer.
Have you also tried printing a sample image that is not yours? (using the O/S image program)

    I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

    It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration". 
    It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length)  of that rectangle is.
    It's explained in the Help files.  I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.

  • I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label.

    I can select a rating and a color label for my images, but I can not sort by rating and color label. when I click on the filter drop down, color label is not one of the options.  how do I get both ratings and color lables as an option to sort with.

    You can Filter (not sort) on both color label and rating if you want, open the Filter Bar with the backslash key, then click on Attribute, and then select the stars and color label of interest. If you really meant "sort" and not filter, then you can't do this in Lightroom.

  • Officejet Pro 8625 Photo print colors not matching monitor!

    I just purchased this Officejet Pro 8625 yesterday and while I love many of it's features, I noticed that when printing photos the prints come out very dark and even a bit 'muddy" ie they not only do not match what I see on my Samsung monitor, but they are not really even close. I have used an HP officejet 7310xi for many years...and photos printed from that have been nearly always true to the original photo files/monitor appearance. 
    I have already run all the printing tests, and they all actually look fine other than Test #1 from the Print Diagnostic page...so calibrated the linefeed. The print heads are clean, etc. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support early this morning and no resolution...so I am at a loss here as to why the color is so off. The tech told me that the ink cartridges that come with the printer might be the issue, but I don't understand why that would be the case if it's authentic HP ink. 
    I am using good glossy photo paper and have tried several settings, and printing from both within Photoshop Elements 11 with the RGB color settings, and from PSP 9, as well as without going through any editing program. Nothing has helped. 
    Before I give up and return this printer (because while I need it for faxing and other functions, I also need photo prints that at least come close to what my monitor shows), I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas. 
    The tech and I did download the most recent drivers/software from the HP website as the software on the included cd was actually not the most recent.
    Thank you!

  • HP Photosmart Premium: photos print wet and with grainy image.

    Photos print wet and image looks almost like a posterization; the color seems okay, but the image has a grainy patterns of tiny dots all over it.

    What printer model - there are several different Photosmart Premium models?  What program are you printing from?  Are you using photo paper designed for inkjet printing?  What are the driver settings for print quality and media type?
    Web images are typically 72ppi, while for printing 200ppi or more is typically needed to prevent grainy images.  Make sure the source photo's are of reasonable resolution.  
    If you are printing from a program such as Photoshop that gives an option of RGB or CMYK printing be sure to select RGB.  While the printer inks are CMYK the driver is expecting RGB (or sRGB) source data.  Printing with CMYK selected will result in very oversaturated prints.

  • Printing color Swatches for printer profiling in Photoshop

    This is the crime scene:
    I have two printers, a 9800 and a 9880. I want to profile them both with the i1 PRO and EYE-One Match Software. Half of the archive is in Kodachrome Slides scanned into Adobe RGB (a while ago); RAW files worked in ProPhoto. ALL we use is premium luster 260.
    I want to print the color swatches and dont know what option to chose in photoshop to print them: Let Printer Manage Colors, or, on the other side, select "Let Photoshop Manage colors" and Adobe RGB as profile and create a printer Profile that I will use to print the Adobe RGB slide images; and print the swatches again with "let photoshop..." and Prophoto as profile and use the created with those swatches to print the RAW Prophoto images.
    or else.
    Thanks so much for your time and help!

    You need to choose the "No Color Management" option in the first print dialog and then in the Epson portion, you need to choose your paper type under Paper Settings and then choose No Color Adjustment in very next dialog box. That way you are sending pure unadulterated RGB to the printer.

  • Cannot match screen color to photo print color on Canon 970

    I am a new iMac user, but have quite a bit of experience with the PC. I was able to get good color match between my PC and my Canon 970. But I have been unable to get the same match now that I am using an iMac. I am using the same inks and paper (canon photo paper pro). All the printer functions work, and plain paper printing is fine. I also cannot find any color profiles for my printer in the colorsync app under the devices tab (although the printer is listed). I did a straight install of the printer software as it came from the box (this was all I had to do with the PC to have the colors match). Please advise of the solution, and if you direct me to any files, etc., please also tell me how/where to access them (I am still struggling to find things in the iMac world). Thanks.

    Hello Jerry,
    A number of color profiles are installed by the MP970 driver installer. You can have a look at these profiles by opening ColorSync, expanding Other and then /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter. By selecting each you will see the different lab plot associated with the profile. Now all the profiles are related to papers, such as Fine Art Photo Rag, GL 2/3 (gloss papers), MP (matte paper), PR1/2/3 and SP2/3 (Canon photo papers).
    To invoke the profile within an application, you select the appropriate paper type from the Quality & Media menu. You should also select to print 'a top-quality photo' in the same menu. Also, via the Color Options menu, ensure the 'Color Correction' setting is set to 'Driver Matching'.
    In the case of iPhoto 08, you don't have the same options. All you can do is open the Presets menu and select one of the available paper types.

  • HT201250 When I back up photos, can I get to them easily? 'Restore' seems more involved the just simply grabbing a photo to send off for printing or post on Facebook, for example?

    I'm fairly new at backing info up so please bare with me! Lol I just got a G Drive slim and started using time machine. It did its initial back up, can I delete pics off my computer now to free up space? Can I get to my photos easily? I had an external hard drive from office max or something (it failed and I lost a lot) when I plug that in I simply opened it up and looked through my photos. This time machine/g drive seems different...easier I hope. Flipping through 5000 pictures was pretty time consuming. How can I be sure they're all on the hard drive? Do I go through time machine to look at backed up items or click on the drive icon on my desktop? I hope this isn't too confusing...

    Nobody can help? :(

  • Photoshop printing colors off when compared to HP printing software

    Hello. my printer is an HP photosmart 6510- cq761a-b211a.  my os is both windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and Mac OS 10.8.4.
    I have scanned .tifs of artwork i am trying to make prints of, i have tried on both computers, and here is the issue i am running into:
    Whenever i use the HP software to print by right clicking and selecting print, the colors come out pretty close to where i want them, however, the hp software does not allow many options for centering or sizing prints. If i try to print a 4x6 on 8 1/2 x 11, it does not allow it to be centered or adjusted and it just prints it at the edge.
    on the other hand, if i print through photoshop CS4 on the pc or CS6 on the mac, i can select the paper and size and choose all the options of exactly how i want it to print, and it prints correctly, however, the colors are off. they do not look accurate, ex. the reds look like generic red vs the depth of all the reds the hp software catches correctly.
    i would love it if i could just use the hp software to print, if it just had more control over the images. it seems to print spot on. but it looks like ill have to use another program, i have tried going through all the photoshop settings and made sure they all match the printer, i have it set that the printer manages the colors and printing, the colormetric options,rgb,  and paper all match. i cannot figure out why there is such a huge difference when photoshop is open. ive printed about 35 test images and it isnt working right.
    any help is appreciated, thanks

    You have to have a calibrated monitor and the image must look right to you on that monitor. Then you let Photoshop manage colors and select your printer profile just below that setting, also you must use Print Settings>Print Settings over to the left to make sure you match the paper type.
    You will need to go to G Ballard's site to read up on color management and workflow, bec ause your question indicates you don't understand the concepts.

  • Photosmart C310a - photo print cut off

      I print 4x6 borderless pics from PC to the printer in the highest resoltion. The preview screen
    always cuts off some of the edges when in borderless mode, but none when previewing with border.
    Is there a way to directly fit the photo to the size of the photo paper without leaving out any part of the pic?

    The edges of your image will be cut off by a printer that can’t print all the way to the edges of the paper. In order to prevent this, go to the Image Size menu again and decrease the height by 1 inch (thus also reducing the width). When printed, the image will be centered on the paper. You can also choose “Scale to Fit Media” In Page Setup.

  • Color management: printed colors off

    Hi,
    I have a problem where colors are not printed correctly from the PDF. It seems like the problem only happens to the PDF file.
    I have a powerpoint file, and when I print it, the colors look the same as it is in the monitor. Once I convert it to a PDF (using acrobat), the colors in the PDF are still the same as the PPT on the screen. However, when I try to print from the PDF, the print out shows much darker shades of colors compared to other the powerpoint print out.
    I've been searching online for a solution for a while, but couldn't find anything. (The closest I got was the color management setting in acrobat, but it didn't work after multiple tweaks.) I suspected that it was a printer issue (since monitor settings can really skew what color looks like when its printed), but since the PPT printed correctly, I think its safe to assume that it's a setting in acrobat that I would need to tweak.
    Anyone can shed some light onto this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ken

  • Color profile for menu images ? (AdobeRGB vs. sRGB)

    Making some menus for a DVD. Original stills started out in AdobeRGB color space, but the designer converted them to sRGB, which shifted the colors and reduced the gamut.
    When the images are authored, I assume they are converted to an NTSC or PAL color space. How does this space compare to sRGB? If the NTSC and PAL gamuts are smaller than sRGB than it doesnt matter, but if they are larger/different, than I think the designer needs to go back to the original AdobeRGB images.
    Anyone have a clue about this?
    thanks...

    I was having a similar problem where there was a color disparity between the still images viewed in Photoshop and the same image viewed in FCP / DVDSP. The little info I have found so far indicates that DVDs use the Generic RGB profile. My results confirmed this. When I converted the working profile of the still images from sRGB to Generic RGB and then updated the media in FCP and DVDSP the results were much better.

  • Selected color profile for new images from "clipboard" is wrong in CS6

    I have given up trying to find the answer to this myself.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Take a screenshot of something in your web browser (macintosh CMD+SHIFT+4) to the clipboard.
    2. Select File > New from the menu. Clipboard should be the selected Preset.
    3. Notice how in CS6 the color profile under "Advanced" is "Display" and NOT "sRGB" — in CS5 it is sRGB.
    4. Paste from the clipboard into your new document and get the color profile mis-match warning if you are in CS6.
    It is either not picking the color space of the clipboard properly like it will in CS5, or I am missing something somewhere.
    Nothing I do in an attempt to fix this is working. I have sRGB set as my default profile in color settings, and nothing I do changes this setting for the "Clipboard" preset.
    I am getting sick of forgetting to manually select "sRGB" every time, opening up a new document sized to my clipboard and then getting the color profle mismatch warning when I paste in the clipboard contents!
    I take so many screenshots as I develop websites this is a CONSTANT problem as I am constantly creating new documents from the clipboard to check alignments, zoom in to get color samples, and many other reasons.
    Message was edited by: DrunkCyclist

    That helps a little. It explains why "Display" is selected when I create a new from the clipboard in PS.
    The ColorSync profile from a screenshot opened in the Preview App shows up as "Color LCD" in the inspector.
    So, I assume what is happening in PS is that the new document is being created in the working color space and my clipboard contents don't match that and therefore causes the warning?
    I could see getting a warning if I create a new document from the clipboard in PS and it embeds the "Display" profile within it, and then I try and paste something which has an sRGB (or other) embedded profile, but I was assuming the new document from the clipboard contents would have the same color profile as the clipboard contents.
    I just don't get why I get a warning when I create the new document and the very first thing I try and do is paste the clipboard contents into said document.
    However, when I select "sRGB" from the dropdown list instead of "Display" in the PS dialogue box it does not give me the mismatch warning.
    Although the warning does say my source and destination document are both using the "Display" profile but my working space is sRGB.
    The more I think about it, I may have just checked the "Don't show again" box in CS5 if I ever had the same issues and therefore never dealt with that again!
    I am going to go read as much as I can about the color profiles in PS. I used to deal with this a lot as a print designer but not so much anymore working in UI design. I only really look into these issues when I get weird color shifts on saved files and things of that nature.
    Thanks for taking the time to explain some things!

  • HELP! Printing colors wrong for CS4 vs CS3

    Every time I have to print something, I have to use CS3 because when I use CS4 the colors come out slightly brighter, flatter and PINKER. I use the exact same print settings as CS3 but it's always wrong. I'm forced to use CS3 for printing only.
    My color profiles are correct so it's not that. One programs prints correctly, the other doesn't.
    Am I an idiot who's missing something that's right in front of my face?
    HELP!
    Thanks!

    CS4 uses the correct path for Leopard and Snow Leopard. If your 
    printer driver is not updated correctly (something Epson seems to have 
    a problem with) for Leopard or Snow Leopard, when application manages 
    color is selected, instead of forcing the driver to No Colormanagement 
    (which is how it works with correctly updated drivers) the driver gets 
    forced to ColorSync which results in double profiling. Also people 
    have reported where the drivers did not install correctly or add 
    correctly and the media settings and profiles did not register with 
    ColorSync correctly. You can check this in the ColorSync Utility.
    You can always try the colorsync utility workaround of telling 
    colorsync to use the same printer profile you choose in the print 
    dialog of the application.
