Centering an image when printing

I print cards frequently. I use the custom package option in lightroom 4 and place my main image and logo, using the red line on the grid as a guide to center the main image. It usually appears centered, but when I print, it's off just a touch - enough to look wrong. When I go back in to center it, the software clicks the image into place just a bit off - won't allow me to center it exactly. The only fix I've found is to use a border (inner stroke), which is then chopped off a little on one side, which isn't as obvious. I haven't seen anyone else ask this question, so must be missing something very obvious??? Thanks.

Center Image When Printing PDF?

When we updated to X Pro, now when ever we print a PDF onto a paper larger than the file, it always puts the image in the upper left corner of the paper. There used to be a centering option, but now there is none. How do I get it to center the images when I print? Thank you.

Does it show full page on the screen, or a small image there also?

Inverted images when printing pdf to Universal PDF driver

Our company is beginning to use SSGD with two Windows XP instances (via RDP?). We deal largely with pdf forms that contain black & white bitmap image data. Within the SGD Windows instance, the pdf opens fine in Adobe Reader. Printing to any of the local printers configured on SGD is also fine. When printing to either of the Universal PDF print drivers (Printer or Viewer), however, the image portions of the document show up on the client side with inverted black/white.
This occurs only for images embedded in the pdf. If I print the image as a separate bitmap file, it comes out fine on the client side.
Any ideas?

what version of SGD and what version of Ghostscript do you have installed on the SGD server?
$ tarantella version
$ gs -V
it may be that you have an older version of Ghostscript or not all the proper fonts installed
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6689/chapter5.html#d0e26763
another thing to test is how the PS print job looks like before it gets converted by Ghostscript. You can pause the printing on SGD 'tarantella print pause' then look for the PS file on your Windows XP instance (c:\TEMP) is the usual location of the file. See if it is not being rendered properly. If it is not, then you would want to choose a different driver to use
http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6689/appendix1.html#d0e49203
try another driver and see if that makes a difference.

Missing images when printing to pdf from Word

When printing to pdf from MS Word 2003 in some cases textboxes and/or images disappear in the target PDF, depending on their position.
Word and Acrobat Standard are the latest updates. If the Word text is converted on a Mac the target pdf has the images present, so it looks like it's a Windows only problem. Any suggestions where to start looking for a fix?

You may have to turn on "display large images" in the preferences.

Double image when printing labels

I am copying in a graphic for Avery round labels. Everything looks fine on the screen, but when printed, some (not all) of the labels have the image, plus a smaller version of the image on top of it. Kind of like an inset. I have reloaded the printer software (I have an HP Photosmart c8180 All in one), used old avery forms, downloaded new avery forms, and a host of meaninless other things. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi, have you tried using another program to print the image?

Missing images when printing (in Word)

I am wrapping up a very long report for a client, and have inserted a number of color images (JPG). I cannot for the life of me get them to print. They show up just fine in the print preview, but nothing actually shows up on the paper when I actually print the document. I have checked every setting I can think of, but nothing seems to be off. I have tried converting to PDF, but the images are missing in those, too. I've also tried converting to a DOC file (rather than the current DOCX version)-- also a fail. Does anyone know what the trick is to getting images to print in Word??? I'm at a total loss and it's driving me batty.
Copying and reformatting the entire report into Pages will take FOREVER and I'm really hoping to avoid that. Help!!!!
Thanks.

Lines on image when printing Raw files

Dear All
I am trying to print Raw images.
After converting and making my adjustments, I click on File > print (in the PSE editor) and then use the cursor to drag out the image to the size I want (roughly a 10 inch by 8 inch image to be printed on A4 paper). I then print it and it comes out with loads of parallel lines on the image.
Any advice to correct this?
Regards
Jon CAmilleri

Hello All
I am managing to print out raw files fine after manipulating them in canons own software (Digital photo professional) but still getting bands when using PSE 7 raw converter? Any more advice?
When sending to print in PSE a box comes up saying 'Some post-script specific settings (interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored as you are printing to a non-postscript printer' This box does not come up when printing from digital photo professional. Could this be the problem resulting in bands on the image and, if so, can it be corrected?
Someone mentioned about Gamut problems - how do I alter/correct these?
Also, with Raw files, after I have manipulated them (e.g to black and white) how can I perform other tasks (eg dodge and burn areas) as it seems that PSE wont let me do this on a RAW image.
Do I have to save it as a JPEG first ? If so, what is the point in taking a RAW image in the first place if I am going to lose detail by converting it to a JPEG?
Sorry for all the questions
Regards
Jon

Cropped images when printing

Every Word document that contains a image (jpeg in most cases) gets cropped on two sides when printed, even though print preview reflects otherwise. These are not new documents and printed fine with previous printer (Epson). Called tech support and the rep was stumped although I see many posts in the forum about this.

Hi dlmott27,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that documents printed previously with another brand are not printing correctly with your HP printer.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
1)       What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have? Guide to finding your product number
2)      How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
3)      Are you printing the documents from the same program that was used to print the documents before? If not, what happens when you print using the same program?
4)      What operating system are you using? Is it the same operating system that was running when the documents were printed previously?
Thank you.
Regards,

Lines in images when printing from anything but iphoto

When I print on my computer from anything but iphoto the quality is horrible and the print has very noticeable lines in it across everything. I recently did a layout in Adobe Illustrator and when I went to print it on regular 4x6 satin photo paper there are lines everywhere. This also happens when printing from powerpoint, photoshop, word, and whatever else that is not iphoto. I cant send out things that are printed at such horrible quality. Everything comes out fine when i print text in black but photos look pixelated and have lines in them no matter what paper I use if printed from anything but iphoto.
HELP DR.

Check the printer manual about calibrating. There is a solution in most drivers for inkjet printers which may call like paper forwarding or so. It seems, that your printer forwords the paper a bit to much before the line is printed.

Centering a photo when printing

I've cropped a photo (constrained as "square") and would like to print it as a 5" by 5" square centered on an 8-1/2" by 11" page. I can't seem to find the proper Print Setting to accomplish this. Am I missing something, is there a simple work-around, or is this just not possible in iPhoto?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I just tried to see if I could center a photo on a letter page with iPhoto 7 and had no success. However I think you can do what you want with Preview.
1 - crop the photo to square and export to the desktop.
2 - open with Preview.
3 - start the Print process
4 - in the print window select the Center Image checkbox
5 - click on the Scale radio button and enter a figure to reduce the image size to what you want. You may have to experiment to get 5" exactly. Start with 40% and go from there. (Note: when you enter the percentage click on another field to get the image to resize without printing).
With a little trial and error you should be able to get what you want.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Avoiding split images when printing html

I am writing html pages in dreamweaver and when I print from safari, the images are split between pages. Is there a way around this either in my html coding or in the 'save to pdf' in the printing?

Could be bad for your situation, but the only way I have successfully gotten around some of the issues you're describing is by outputtings static html files and opening in the user's local browser.
In your case that could be a large amount of code and you also have issues with whatever local browser they're using. (God forbid they have IE then you'll be outputting your html / canvas and it still won't print.)
Unfortunately I don't really have an answer for you and I don't think Adobe does yet. (You can see my basic workaround for printing to the user's local browser here: http://vfoo.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/adobe-air-print-css-and-html-printing-hack/ Note: I don't think my workaround will be the best for your because relying on the user's browser for canvas printing is a bit of Russian Roulette)

Blurry images when printed from indesign

having problems with only some images in an indesign document. all images are placed and the original files are perfectly crisp pdfs...tried changing the display performance but still appearing and printing blurry? when i click f8 on the image it doesn't show any ppi at all- not sure if this means something?
please help!!
thanks, chrissy

it could also have something to do with the fact i'm having to swap computers to print the file- i'm going to try taking all the links with me and relinking the ones that are apprearing blurry to see if that helps
Bingo.

IPhoto rotates image when printing.

In iPhoto after I have selected the format size and hit print, when the print window drops down it rotates the image in the format frame 90 degrees. This crops the image. How can I correct this?

You have a damaged database file. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Custom resizing images when printing in Elements 11

Hi friends .... I could use some help ... When I was using an older Photoshop version ...I could select "print with preview" and there I could adjust the size and proportion of the image to the paper size - I would see the paper in a preview box and could adjust the image by sliding the box at the corner points and size the image any way I wanted ... and could see the actual preview of how the image could fit on the paper .... in Elements 11 - even if I do a PDF and print in Preview- there's no way I can see to do that ... I only see options for set sizes- even under the custom sizing menu ... I'm using exactly the same printer that I used with Photoshop - so I'm assuming this is a limitation with Elements ... I don't even see the option in Elements printing to change the image percentage as I've been used to with any other page setup before .... Please give any advice - this is making printing exactly what I want pure guesswork and is very difficult for me ...there must be something I'm missing when I print with Elements 11 .... thanks for any help ...
David

Oh yes it has Barbara. David is right. Have a look at Elements 5. I got that free and would still be using it if I hadn't had to upgraded to Windows 7. I've now had to buy Elements 11 because Elements 5 wouldn't load and Elements 11 does not have that fascility that David laments. I used that printing option almost exclusively for printing cards and I bitterly regret not having it now. I'm very disappointed with these printing options in Elements 11. The problem is that Photoshop eminates from the one country in 180 that seems manacled to its imperial measurements that the rest of the world has to keep wading through. I expect that to acquire my favourite printing fascility I shall have to get the full verson. I have seen it in screenshots, so I know that it is there. It's all very well for Barbara to say resize before entering the print window but this is just trial and error and takes forever. In the meantime I shall continue to spend ages working round this cumbersome resizing problem each time I print my cards.
