CM1312 always produces "glossy" prints on plain paper

I have a networked CM1312nfi.  I print on plain paper, 24 lb.  When printing in colour, the areas of the page containing colour always appear to have a semi-glossy sheen on them.  (This occurs whether printing from Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.6.)  Is this normal, to be expected?  In contrast, when printing on an HP 4700dn at work, there is no sheen at all.
Is there a way to control this? My properties specify that I am printing on plain paper.  If it is expected on this printer, why the difference with the 4700?
Thanks for any ideas here.

  • Tweak color profile when printing on plain paper?

    If Im unhappy with the colors when printing on plain paper, can it be changed?
    ..this is on a five cart Photosmart Premium c410a that uses 564 tanks.
    In particular, yellow is too dark, a bit "orangy" and photos are a bit weird: sky looks slightly smoggy brown.  
    In other words my question is if its possible to  tweak the color profile the HP driver uses when printing using plain paper -- for daily use.

    Have you found a solution to this? I'm wondering if the same can be done for the photo prints as well...when I print photos, they turn out darker and have a purple-hue to them. Please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Issue with borderless printing using plain paper

    Hi,I previously used hp 7000 wide format for printing borderless (edge-to-edge) on A3 plain paper from pdf or autocad or even ms word.Now I am using Hp 7612. Here i am not able to do edge to edge prnting on A3 plain paper using hp 7612 driver.My operating system is windows 7 32 bit and I have both drivers for hp 7000 and hp 7612 installed in my PC.I find the driver for hp 7000 better for me.Is there a possibility to integrate the driver for hp 7000 for my hp 7612 printer? Please need your help. 

    Hi Roshan, With step 2 you have to do the following.Open notepad just so you can paste text into a document. When you already extracted the software you just need to go to the 7Z folder.In the run box just type %temp%. There you should find the 7Z folder.When you find this map you should copy the entire rule. Just like you would copy an internet address.x Then you should go back to the driver into printer properties.There you should go to the advanced tab and click on new...  When following those steps you should paste the link you copied earlier. Hopefully this is enough information for you.If not please let me know. Bas Pootjes 

  • C4580 Borderless Printing on Plain Paper?

    I want to do borderless printing on a plain piece of letter size (8.5 x 11 in) paper. When I select borderless though the HP software tells me I can only do this with photo paper which I don't want because it just wastes ink. I'm printing on normal paper so is it possible to print borderless on normal paper?
    Running Win7.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot print to plain paper in iPhoto (or iTunes)

    Just installed a new printer - HP PSC 1510.
    Works fine except that if i decide to print a test page in iPhoto (b4 using costly photo paper) or a simple CD insert in iTunes, the paper type options for plain or automatic are greyed out & cannot be selected.
    In all other applications they appear!
    Has anyone had the same problem & do you know a solution?
    Thanks to you all in advance!

    Thanks for that. Unfortunately even if I select this when you check the Paper type details under the Advanced tab still overide this. Must add that this wasn't the case with my HP PSC 1210, must be the age of the driver?

  • No Plain Paper print option when printing on small size papers

    Hi,
    I am using an Officejet 100 and an Officejet 6500 on a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.5.8. HP Printer Driver version is 12.4.
    I need to print on plain paper using paper sizes A6 or 4"x6". The print window of the driver does not give a plain paper option (it is greyed).
    Hence, I have to use some photo paper setting even though printing on plain paper.
    That is just too slow!
    Is there any way to get the printer driver to allow the plain paper setting on A4 or 4"x6"?
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hello @bdosfan1 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing driver issues.  I would like to help!
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.5.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Photosmart 7200 Colors are Wrong When Printing on Photo Paper

    I'm running Windows 7 and am having a problem when printing on photo paper.  The colors are off; mainly green.  The colors are fine when printing on plain paper.  I have tried printing from my computer as well as straight from the media card.  Same result.  I am also using HP Photo Premium glossy paper.  Print cartridges are brand new and are loaded correctly.
    Any solutions or troubleshooting tips I can try?

  • When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    Does it print correctly on plain paper?
    What do you do differently to print on Photo Paper than to print on plain paper?
    iPhoto has no idea of what paper is being printed - that is totally a function of the printer and the print driver supplied with the printer - you need to look at the printer specific options and your printer manual and/or support forums

  • Plain Paper Best Chops the Top

    Hello All,
    Within the last month, when I print in Plain Paper Best, the document begins to print immediately at the top.  This is especially frustrating when trying to print business cards.  The cards print fine when using Plain Paper, Fast Draft or Plain Paper, Fast Draft, Black and White.  What happened and what can I do ?  Thank you

    The printer will put droplets of ink on the page based on what it detects the media is (for printers with "Automatic" as a paper type) or the specified media in the driver.
    If you select plain paper, draft and print on photo paper it would use the same amount of ink as if you put in plain paper.  The results are likely to be very very poor if you do that, for several reasons:
    The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, it will not dry properly.  When photo media is selected the printer will not use the pigmentd black ink even to print text, it will mix color to make black.
    It takes much more ink to give proper photo settings on photo paper as compared to plain paper.  Using plain paper draft settings is likely to result in an unusable photo paper page, ruining a $1 sheet of photo paper to save a $0.20 worth of ink - not a good tradeoff.
    If you plan to print a lot of photo's you might consider a printer that uses the HP Ink advantage subscription service.  This service is based on pages printed, and they count photo pages the same as plain paper, even though a full page photo may use 10x or more the ink of a plain paper text page.

    Hi -
    I can't tell from your post which specific jam you are experiencing.
    I found the following on the HP.com support web site at
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01450544&jumpi...
    On this page are a lot of possible jam causes and solutions.  This one is a description I think sounds similar to your report. 
    Common causes of jams
    Cause: When printing on lightweight paper or on jobs with heavy toner coverage, paper is wrapping on the fuser causing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap Jam messages.
    Solution: Set the LIGHT MEDIA optimize mode on the Print Quality menu to ON .

  • Why did I have to do a reset to keep my printer from using so much ink? Was not able to select "plain paper." Was printing in "Ultra Premium" mode.

    My printers (two Epsons) would not let me select <Plain paper> when printing anything, and always defaulted to <Ultra Premium>, which is the reason I've been using a ton of ink for the last several months. What caused that? I finally did a Reset to Basics which took care of the problem, but what created the problem?

    hello LesS., you'll probably have to contact epson's support about this issue, since i don't see how this would be related to firefox or mozilla products: support.epson.com
    thank you for your understanding

  • How to print red color in plain paper?

    When printed on glossy papers, red color (in photo or text) looks great.
    When I print on non-photo, plain papers, red color came out brownish.
    I tried on premium ink jet papers, it does not print red but in brown color.
    How can I print red color in plain paper?

    When dealing with printing ink, R=100m+100y+0c+0k. What drives the color toward rust, maroon, and brown is the addition of c to the mix. That may be the result of the diffuse reflection of the uncoated paper surface, its absorb rate, the ink chemistry and – the light source. Since the easiest variable to test is the light source, look at that color using a source weak in blue emission, incandescent light, and watch the red shift. Remember also that the reflected color will never be as bright as paper it is printed on. Each ink film is a filter subtracting light from the paper reflection.  
    Shown above (with a mode change to RGB for the purpose of this display) is its version of 100 each of m+ y  and a patch with the unwanted c

  • How can I print from my ipad to the plain paper tray not the photo tray?

    I have a new 
    HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One Printer - B209a
    and an ipad on my showroom floor.
    I let my customers use the ipad to browse through photos of items that are not on display, then print some of the photos. Right now the print job always goes to the photo tray - but I want it to print on plain letter size paper.  If there is no photo paper in the tray, the print job fails with an out of paper error.
    Is there a way to get this printer to print photos from the ipad photos app onto the standard paper tray?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
    Richard

    Photos will always print from the photo tray, if the printer has one. This cannot be configured by the user currently.

  • Bug: c410b - hp photo print gadget 2.0 32bit does not have plain paper in drop down

    printer:  c410b
    os:  windows 7 ultimate 32bit
    hp photo print sidebar gadget does not have plain paper in the paper type drop down and also resets itself to default if you close and re-open the gadget.
    also, if i select the 'fax' bit of it...  plain paper become available.  return to the 'non-fax' bit...  it reverts to only the glossy paper types.
    also tested the old 2008 dated gadget that i found buried on your ftp server.  same behaviour.
    64 bit does and works perfectly.
    verified on 5 machines.  latest 'full' exe used to install.  never touched the cd.
    same behaviour after removing and re-installing the gadget with the download file from hp web site.
    edit:  for any hp staff - online chat with your tech (who couldn't help) reference is 8590546

    bump.  got an email today saying to call HP in the USA because I have the wrong printer settings.  they also quoted a c410a even though i told them numerous times a c410b.
    number 1 - i'm in the UK and don't want to call USA to be on hold for an hour for some college-drop-out to tell me *i'm* wrong.
    number 2 - 5 32bit machines and i went round to a different location and tried 3 more machines there.  same.
    number 3 - *what* setting?  you install the gadget, click the options 'wrench' and the paper types are in there...  *everything* else on the printer works...  just not the 32 bit gadget - no plain paper available to choose and paper tray keeps reverting to photo tray.
    number 4 - it works on several 64 bit machines, with the same settings.
    i'm guessing a system-locale issue where the gadget doesn't poll the driver properly for UK paper sizes or something.
    any help?  anyone?
