Can't print separations correctly

I have a b&w photo that I have added a spot of red to. I have done this in PS CS3. When I save the photo (as a psd) and import to Illustrator, and I try to print separations, the entire photo separates as cmyk. I only need the red to separate as cmyk and the rest of the photo to separate as a grayscale.How do I accomplish this?

Rhonda,
without knowing the details:
Choose a CMYK profile
Set Gray Dot Gain 20%
Convert the image to Grayscale
Select all
Copy
Make a new empty doc with the same pixel size in CMYK
Paste the selection ONLY into channel K (activate K)
Make a selection for the color area in the CMYK doc
(all channels)
Define the color not by Spot but by CMYK
Modify the selected area by the color
(for instance Fill or Hue-Saturation, mode Colorize)
It's now a CMYK image with K-only gray parts and
colored parts.

Can't print to correct paper size.

I am using an HP Deskjet 5440. I want to print to 4x6 paper. I go into iPhoto 6.0.6 and set up a picture to print on 4x6 paper (or so I think). I hit preview. It looks perfect. I hit print. It prints about an eighth of the picture (right proportions and all, as if it were going to look right on the paper) then stops and spits it out as if it's finished. Okay, I go into Photoshop Elements and try to print again using that program, this time it prints half the page correctly and spits it out after that. Then I go into Preview. It prints out 3/4 of the page correctly, but there is still white space on the page. What am I doing wrong? I would think that if it looked right in the "preview" mode, it would print out that way. Why is it not printing out to the full page. It's a landscape picture and I select landscape mode, I set it to fill a 4x6 page. In Page Setup I select 4x6 borderless printing. I just want it to look like it does in "preview mode." Can somebody please help me and tell me how to get it to print the entire image on the whole piece of paper? Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried what you suggested and it didn't work. I am getting more and more frustrated. I don't know what the problem is. It's affecting all my photo programs though. It's not only happening in iPhoto, but my new Photoshop Elements and in Preview. It just prints out half the picture on 4x6 paper, whether I select landscape or portrait. If I print the picture out on 8 1/2 x 11 it comes out okay in the middle of the paper in 4x6.
Here's more details. I scanned in a bunch of negatives on my new Epson Perfection V200 PHOTO scanner. I used the negative caddy to scan them in. I scanned them in using 3200 dpi and original size target. I imported all the pictures to iPhoto and tried to print some of them out. When I set it up using 4x6 borderless printing, it only printed the picture on half the paper. It looked as if it was going to print correctly, but for some reason the printing stopped at half the page. When I used the other landscape setting it printed out the OTHER half of the picture. So, now I can tape the two halves and make one picture, but not a real solution, is it?
So, I opened up Photoshop Elements, which I also just purchased. I tried printing from there and it still only printed a partial picture. The same result came from trying to print it from Preview. Although, sometimes, the printer goes through the motions of printing and then NOTHING is printed on the page.
Also, for some reason, the black and white photos come out looking as if they've been through some sort of filter, like "emboss" or something similar. What could be causing that?
Here is what I am using:
Intel iMac 20 inch
2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo
2 GB of SDRAM
256 Megs VRAM
iPhoto 6.0.6
Photoshop Elements 4.0.1
HP Deskjet 5440
Kodak Premium Photo Paper 4x6
I have tried various settings and I cannot get it to print on a full 4x6 page. Even when I use constrain or page setup or various combinations.
When I printed out large numbers of 4x6 photos on my old iMac G3 last year using the last version of iPhoto and the same HP Deskjet printer, they came out perfectly. They had been taken with a Kodak Digital camera.
Any help would be appreciated, I get more and more frustrated.

Print shop can't print color correctly.

Hi there,
I work at a print shop and occasionally run into problems with documents being difficult to print, but this one is especially troubling. Out print shop does not have Photoshop but rather "Photo Impact..." I know, don't get me started. The issue is that I have a particular customer how did some designing in Photoshop CS4 (CS something) and it looks beautiful on his macbook but different on our PC (no matter what program we use to open any of his files- TIFF, PNG, JPG, etc). When printing to our Xerox Docucolor 252 the color is real dark and way less vivid/bright.
I tried the file on my home computer (PC with CS4) and it again looks great. When I print it on my home printer (Canon ip6700d) the printed colors are much closer to the screen even though I get an error telling me the printer is a non-postscript printer and so it will ignore some of the document properties. This leads me to believe that since the Xerox is a postscript enabled (I think) printer it is using data I know nothing about to darken and dirty the image. This is way outside of my knowledge and I would love to figure this out.
We have tried converting the image both to CMYK and RGB and have played around with the different color profiles, sRGB, Adobe RGBxxx etc. with very suble changes but nothing acceptable. I think we are to the point where the customer would be ok to start from scratch but if he doesn't know what to do differently I think we'll be right back here again.
Any suggestions? I'm frustrated and desperate to figure this out!
Thank for any ideas,

Can't print correctly by using Adobe Reader 9.1.2

The following code in OCX is being used in my web application to print PDF directly with Adobe Reader 5.1, and it works fine!
When Adobe Reader is upgraded to 9.1.2, it no longer works. Printouts often cannot be printed correctly. However, when I add the code in red, the printouts can be printed correctly again.
Anyway, I don't want Open and Close Adobe Reader during direct printing.
Anyone knows why FilePrintSilent doesn't work? and how to solve it?

We have PDF documents stored on server-side, the ActiveX control and Adobe Reader are installed on client-side.
When users open our web page, click our "Print weekly report directly" button, the ActiveX control on client will be called, and perform the above coding. It tries to download the PDF document from server to client, and pass it to the printer on client silently by using FilePrintSilent function.
The report can be printed, but not correct. It involves some unexpected characters which should be English or Traditional Chinese originally, as shown in the attached picture.

Document prints in reverse, what setting can I change to correct this?

Document prints in reverse, what setting can I change to correct this? Not a printer problem - documents print in correct order when using other programs. Using Acrobat X Pro on a Mac.

One more place to check. Open a document you'd like to print, then click the 'Printer...' button. Hit 'Yes' to the warning dialog box that comes up. For your specific printer, this might already be enabled. Change the drop-down menu that says 'Layout' to 'Paper Handling'. It could be that the Page Order preference has been changed here too. Just a thought!

No Option for Printing Separations in Acrobat 11

I do not have the option to print separations from Acrobat Pro 11 on OSX Yosemite. I have installed the PPDs and they work in Illustrator and InDesign but do not work in Acrobat.
First, I am a designer at a screen printing shop and have been printing separations on a daily basis for 3 years. I understand how it works. I was working on a PC with CS 5.5. Typical workflow was to design in Illustrator, Print to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS. EPS was the preferred method since I print the transparencies from Illustrator, and since Illustrator can only open one page of a PDF at a time, I saved the PDF as EPS so that ever spot color got it’s own EPS file. From there, I created a new AI file, put all EPS files on different art boards and printed.
Now I am on a Mac with Yosemite and CC 2014. I know the PDF workflow changed in Snow Leopard. You now have to print to a PostScript file and Distill, which then gives me the PDF i can open w Acrobat and save to EPS as usual.
But, I decided to really dig into Acrobat 11 since it has all the Ink Manager and Preflight features. My preferred workflow would be creation in AI, save a PDF, then use all of Acrobats features for the final check and separations. The Acrobat manual says on page 316:
“Print separations
1. Choose File > Print, and choose a printer.
2. Choose an option from the Comments and Forms menu.
3. Choose print range and page handling options.
4. Click Advanced.
5. If you created a custom printer settings file with the appropriate separation settings, choose it from the Settings menu at the top of the
Advanced Print Setup dialog box.
6. Select Output on the left, and choose an option from the Color menu:
Choose Separations if the PPD doesn’t support in-RIP separations.
12. Click PostScript Options on the left, and select settings as needed. Click OK to close the dialog box, and then click OK again to print the separations.”
The only option I have in the print dialog is my desktop printer.
I have installed the PPDs, which brings me to another problem.

which is the adobe.sit.hqx file that contains 5 files with no file extension. Per the “Read Me” instructions, I have placed the “Acrobat Distiller (no file extension)” file in the
Library/Printers: PPDs: Contents: Resources: folder.
It works with Illustrator, and is not really and issue.
-The file is a 17KB file with no extension that was last modified on 9/9/2001.
Following another page
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/save-as-pdf-options-not.html#main_InstallAcroPPD
it give the link
Acrobat 9 PPD
which is the ADPDF9.PPD file, a 29 KB PPD file last modified on 12/8/2014.
Just to test it out, I placed both files in the
Library/Printers: PPDs: Contents: Resources: folder. Both are selectable from Illustrator when printing a PostScript file and both seem to work. I see no real difference between them.
I also created the PPDs file in the Presets folder of InDesign and can get separations from there as well.
But, I do not have the PostScript or any other print option from the Acrobat print dialog except for my desktop printer.
SO,
1) Is there somewhere else I need to place the PPDs for Acrobat to see it? The manual states I should be able to print the separations from the Print Dialog but its not available.
2) What is the difference between the “Acrobat Distiller” file and the “ADPDF9.PPD” files? Different size, different dates, but no obvious difference in output.
3) I sometimes print halftone jobs through AccuRip. I have gotten pretty good at manual spot color transparency gradients within illustrator, where I create complex gradients using only a spot color and a gradient with 100% transparency on one end and 0% on the other. But if I have many colors in it, I have to print separations through PotsScript and then Distill it, which flattens all transparency on the separated file. The result is a separation with a placed image gradient with a clipping mask instead of a true vector gradient. I know it has to be flattened when it’s ripped anyway, but I would like for it to ONLY get flattened as it passed through the rip on its way to the transparency, and not during the Distiller separation which then is placed back in AI for printing. Is there any way to do this on a Mac which MUST be printed to PostScript and Distilled?
Thanks

“I’ll never give you a job to print.”
Lead with an insult, good start.
You know, I read your comment, and the link, right before I went to bed. I thought I would respond then, but thought I should sleep on it. Well I slept on it, and I’m actually MORE p***ed off today than last night. I will try to keep this as professional as possible…
“Such an outdated time consuming workflow !!!”
No S**t (so much for professional). Which is why it’s unfortunate that Apple forced this workflow on people like me.
I asked SPECIFICALLY about color SEPARATIONS in the title of the post and throughout the post. The link you provided did not provide an answer to this. It explained how terrible “refrying” a PDF can be. And what was the solution it gave?
“Use EPS and not PostScript!”
Strange. it seems that is the EXACT workflow I listed! To quote myself;
“Typical workflow was to design in Illustrator, Print to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS”
That was on a PC, where Print to PDF is still an option. The design is made in Illustrator with Spot Colors, all overprints are set, because a human will be lining up the screens to print by hand, and you need about .5 - 1 point of “play” for when the screen moves so abutting colors will not have a gap of shirt color between them. I can then use all of the functionality of the AI print dialog box and print the SEPARATIONS to a PDF file, and the PDF is then split to separate EPS files for easier control.
Apple in it’s infinite wisdom has taken away this functionality. From AI, my 2 listed printers are my desktop printer and an Adobe PostScript file. Remember, I am SEPARATING the artwork to be printed on vellums that will be used to burn a screen. If I leave my desktop printer active, I can select “Setup”, where i am brought to the system print dialog box, where if I select “Adobe PDF” or “Save as PDF”, I get the message from Illustrator that “The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog box are not supported”.
So, if I change the Printer to “Adobe Postscript file”, the “Setup” box is greyed out. If I simple “Save As” and choose PDF, I do not have the option to SEPARATE colors. Do you see the dilemma now? Apple remove the functionality I have on a PC, so my SEPARATIONS can not be saved directly to a PDF, but MUST me “printed” to a Post Script file, which then MUST be distilled to get a PDF of SEPARATIONS.
Which brings me back to the whole point of my post.
““Such an outdated time consuming workflow !!!”
Right, which is why I’m trying to avoid it. In reality, the entire process only involves 1 extra step over the PC workflow, and the Distill process literally takes a few seconds. But, I don’t want to Distill for all the reasons listed in the link you provided. And if i follow the advice of the link, saving to EPS, I DO NOT have the option of SEPARATIONS. Which is why I’m trying to save a PDF from AI, the use all the functionality of Acrobat Pro to SEPARATE my colors. Again, the manual to Acrobat says I can print my SEPARATIONS to a file, but I only have the option to print to my desktop printer from the Acrobat Print Dialog box, even though I have DO have other options in AI and InDesign.
So, great Adobe MVP, can you answer my original questions?
1- why do I not have the option to print to a file in Acrobat Pro?
2- What is the difference between the “Acrobat Distiller” file and the “ADPDF9.PPD” files? Different size, different dates, but no obvious difference in output. (Not what I want to use, but on OSX post 10.6, I don’t really have a choice it seems)
3- Is there any way to print to a SEPARATION file on a Mac without printing to PostScript and then being Distilled?
I see your skills are:
“PDF forms, PDF multimedia, eBooks in PDF or in ePub format.
I'm an InDesign Digital Publishing Suite specialist too. I am also a trainer and the webmaster of abracadabraPDF.net, the only French web site dedicated to PDF and Acrobat.”
Good for you. Have you EVER had to print separations for a t-shirt? Have you ever had to consider that a person will be physically pushing the ink through a screen, so you must consider the thickness of the ink, how that will interact with the mesh of the screen, which determines the LPI the halftones are printed at, which determines how fine your gradients should be? Because I do it everyday. So your whole “I’ll never give you a job” thing is especially infuriating, and pretty unprofessional.
So not only have you totally ignored all my questions, you insulted me and given me a link that ALSO answers none of my questions. I am also assuming, though I could be wrong, that you marked your answer as correct int he AcrobatUsers forums. Well guess what? Even with you MVP badge, you are NOT correct. At least not for what I’m asking.
If I ever need an eBook, PDF form, ePub or Multimedia PDF done, maybe I’ll use you. But, I would never hire you for color separations for t-shirt printing.

The first field is a string
The second,the third and the fourth is a double.So? If it's already a String, then just print it, and everything will get printed. Of course, if that's not what you want, you'll have to provide more detail.
If you want to split the string up into its pieces, and you know the only whitespace is the separators, then you could do this: String[] pieces = str.split("\\s+"); Read these to learn more about the regex that split uses:

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
So, you have two options:
1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print. If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

Can't print to Epson TM-U590 Slip Printer from Report Generation Toolkit with LabVIEW 8.6.1

Hi all,
I have an application that uses the Report Generation Toolkit to print tickets to a docket printer. Usually this works fine - I have 8 existing installations where there are no problems
I'm currently installing the software at a new site that uses an Epson TM-U590 slip printer and I can't for the life of me get printing to work
Using a Standard Report, the Print Report.vi returns error -41002 which indicates it can't find the printer. I've opened up the VI using remote debugging and it does find the printer name correctly with the Query Available Printers.vi. It gets an error code -2147352567 from the Printout node, which then gets replaced with the -41002 error which is reported.
For historical reasons I'm still using LabVIEW 8.6.1 for this project. I'm considering moving to 2011 or 2012 but I've had reliability issues with other parts of the application after attempting to update to a newer LabVIEW version so I'd like to avoid that at this stage.
The application is running on a standard desktop PC with Windows 7. The slip printer works fine if I print to it from Notepad, and my application is happy to print to any other printer, just not the slip printer.
The slip printer is using the LPT port. Previously the docket printers I've used have been USB but I would expect the printer driver to hide this detail from the application...
Any ideas would be much appreciated
Cheers

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've managed to sort out the problem, thanks to this KB article: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/67D60209102E2161862568AC0074BF64
I'm now having the same issue with a Star docket printer (a TUP592), this time with another program developed in LabVIEW 2011.
As mentioned in the article, the problem is actually to do with the margin settings rather than the printer name, despite what the error message says
After some experimentation, I've gotten the Star printer to work by setting a large (>14cm) right margin. No idea why this is required as it seems to print right up to the right edge of the paper quite happily, but there you go.
So I haven't defintely fixed the original problem yet as I haven't gotten back to the site, but hopefully this will be of some help to someone else.
