Color isnt coming out right when i print pictures

when i try to print a picture off my computer the color comes out way too light and almost white looking. how do i go about fixing it so it will look like the picture?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from? Are you printing on plain paper or on photo media?
If you are using inkjet photo media make sure the proper media type is selected in the Paper/Quality tab of the driver. If using photo paper with plain paper selected the results would be very light.

IWeb hyperlinks not coming out right when published

Hiya,
Has anyone got any idea why hyperlinks (to other of my pages) on some of my web pages come out as a blue square with a question mark in the middle, rather than the name of the link? If you click on it, it takes you to the right page, but you can't read what the link says. It means I can navigate around the site but no one else can!
Many thanks for any replies on how to fix...
Rose

I see what you mean. When that page is viewed in the Activity window there are a number of items that are using the following URL for their location:
archive:%20artsfiles/shapeimage_1_link0.png
with the resulting error message: Unsupported URL.
Those items that are correct have the following URL:
http://web.me.com/roseskelton/iWeb/Site/Archive%3A%20artsfiles/navbar_1normal.png
Are you using a text based hyperlink for those or an image? If an image how are you adding it to iWeb?
You may have to delete those items and create them again from the beginning.

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ?

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ? Use the same printer with a PC and printed the same picture files- they are printed with high quality- Why can't the IMAC do the same?

Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac?
How exactly are you printing these photos?

New 5.1 Speakers not coming out right with SB Live DE

I came to this forum after discovering that driver support is no longer available for "<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#ff0000">Li've! Digital Entertainment 5."<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#ff0000">?I just got a new 5. speaker set and plugged them in, with the brown/green/black cables going into the corresponding color-coded slots in the sound card. When testing, the center sound came out from the left-rear speakers as if the two were switched, while the right-rear speaker has no sound coming out. I bought the 5. speakers back to the shop and they tested them.. all fi've speakers were working fine, but the moment I brought them back the exact same?problem came up again. I'm now downloading the Li'veDriverUniPack from elsewhere, and will post here again after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.

The reinstall of the drivers failed to solve the problem. There is still no sound from the rear-right speaker and from the creative speaker test, sound from the center and rear left speakers are switched with each other.

Paper coming out the back of printer

I had a notice on my printer that there was a paper jam. I found it and corrected it and now when I print anything, a blank sheet of paper comes out the BACK of the printer. I keep getting paper jam message and walk thru the steps but nothing works. When I get to the end of all of the stpes and run the printer report, the blank page comes out the back of the printer.
help.

Hello @cjingle,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
I understand you are having a problem with pages coming out the back of your ENVY 120.
I would like to assist with this odd issue.
The problem I believe is with the printers duplexer (the part that allows two sided printing) and its cover.
Make sure that the cover is in place properly. If it is not it can cause the paper to misfeed,
and strangely enough come out the back of the printer.
Let me know if there is any issues with the cover.

Hp1300 all in one printer - no ink coming onto paper when I print!

I have been using our HP1300 All in One Inkjet printer for many years. Now when I 'print' no ink comes out onto the page! The printer behaves completely normally and 'prints' the correct number of pages etc. but no ink comes out! I have changed the cartridges but to no avail. Could anyone suggest what the problem might be please?
Thanks

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
I hope this helps!

Almost high def video and title menu coming out blurry when project completed

I have been using premeire elements 10 since it came out and have been happy until this week. I use elements to put together my daughters school performance for archival reasons. I am working on her latest play and act one was fine and clear when completed earlier this week. However, act two is coming out blurry, including the title menu and other texts and the burned dvd came out very blurry. I tried to compare act one and now the title menu preview is also showing a blurry video so I know the burning will be blurry as well. please help as I'm tired of always redoing the edits. thank you

Gwen
Thanks for the great news of your success. Well done.
Best give the Shake Stabilizer a good workout before making your final decisions. Major consideration there are resource demanding feature
and file must match the project preset before the Shake Stabilizer will work. Here is the link to the Adobe document on the new Shake Stabilizer
in 13. Note its recommendations for use.

The first thing of note is the major change in workspaces going from 10 to 11, 12, and 13/13.1. Principles tend to stay the same from version to version, but
the features tend to get moved, deleted, or changed. As I typically write, it is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find
a feature that you are used to.
The following are some Premiere Elements 13 video tutorials. Some times a 12 one might be in there. To spot the non 13 ones, look at the headers

Color shift coming out of LR when printing??

Just upgraded to a Nikon D300. Imported RAW (14 bit) image. Edited on color calibrated iMac. Specified Hahnemuhle .icc profile to Epson Pro 3800 (6.10) driver. Set color managed OFF in driver. Print Preview from driver showed a shift to green on parts of the image. Image printed as it looked in Preview, not as in LR.
I then set LR to Managed by Printer, and set the driver to manage color controls. The image printed nearly exactly as it appeared in LR (kudos to the Epson driver I guess) ....
Any ideas?

The previous test was on Epson paper. This time I use the Hahnemulhle paper, but specified an Epson profile to match the Hahnemuhle recommended Epson paper in the driver. The image printed perfectly, matching the LR image. So .... Epson profile on Hahnemulhle paper looking 100% better than the vendor profile on their own paper!?

Can't get color right when scanning & printing

Hi all. I'm having an interesting (and frustrating!) problem with colour and scanning...
I have a new Brother mfc-9840cdw, and am scanning across the network using it. I find that on some Macs black text and gray shading has a distinct green cast both on the screen and when printed back to the mfc. My main iMac screen has been profiled using a Spyder2 Express, and has this green problem. However, on a Macbook Pro (MBP) scans are the correct colour and print properly. Interestingly, if I take a jpg file produced via a scan on the MBP, open it in Preview on my iMac then print it in colour, it takes on the green cast. Conversely, if I take a file produced by the iMac and print it on the MBP, it prints properly. Same file, same drivers, same settings, everything. This has me really confused! I can't see how the same file can print differently to the same printer using the same driver. I've tried Brother colour and Colorsync colour in the driver settings, all to no avail.
I notice that in the "Adjust image" settings for the TWAIN driver, there are options to use a colorsync profile "Brother sRGB profile". This doesn't help either. A profile never gets embedded in a resultant jpg file, according to Preview.
Any ideas why I'm seeing this weird behaviour?

Have you made sure you are scanning in B&W? This sounds like you are scanning it in color -- black takes on a green cast sometimes when scanned in color.
Good luck

Why are'nt my photos coming out right.

hp deskjet 3052a printer wirelesswindows vista

Hi Paty,
Here is a link to your printer's website - Pick whether you are in the USA or elsewhere in the world - there are two slightly different printers depending on where you are located.
At your website are links to manuals, help videos, software, and more. If you do not have all the software installed that your printer can use, and it's available for your Operating System, it will be listed in Software and Drivers.
HP Deskjet 3052A
"Not right" photographs can be caused by some of the same issues that make all printing from the same printer to look a bit "off". The difference is that, in many cases, we don't notice the problem until we print something that has all the detail and color saturation as a nice photograph.
Here's a general group of things that can cause "not right" photos.
Things to consider:
Paper quality - all paper is not made the same. Poor paper quality will affect your outcome. Consider a bright white (97), 24 lb, American made paper. It costs more; it works really well compared to bargain priced paper.
Ink quality is not all the same. You may hear other opinions; HP ink in HP printers will provide a more consistant result from the hardware. Refurbished ink cartridges may cause problems (damage to the printer) over the long haul.
Even when there is what appears to be sufficient ink in the cartridge, it can be time to change the cartridge. The ink cartridges get dirty - after a couple of cleanings, there comes a point when you just have to trash the old cartridge and put in a new one. It means you don't get every last bit of ink from the cartridge. It isn't fair. It's the way it works.
Regardless of where you purchased the ink, some settings may dump more ink than the paper can handle. If the printer is working properly (hardware is OK), then this comes back to balancing the ink output with the paper. There is 'drying time' necessary even for the new printers. How? Check the manuals; see if there are settings that can be adjusted - if not, then buy better paper and try it.
The printer may be dirty. Cleaning the cartridge heads can help - a thorough cleaning uses more ink but may work temporarily. At some point, you may have to clean the printer with a cleaning kit. (Most people just replace the printer in this day and age - no one wants to buy the kit and clean the printer.) Believe it or not, sometimes, it's just dirt.
The cartridges may be faulty. Try a new cartridge - if your printer uses separate color cartridges - replace them all. Keep the old cartridges for a time while you try other measures - no use in throwing away good ink.
The printer has to be up to the task. Unfortunately, not all printers are great for printing high quality photographs. It's a case of "You get what you pay for".
I print a lot of photographs at high resolution.
Of the items on the list, and besides the high quality printer, remember:
Use High quality paper - don't skimp on paper for photographs. You don't need photo paper for every photo; you do need the paper I described: bright white, 24lb, American made. HP brand is good if you can afford it.
Clean, full cartridges.
When printing / copying / scanning from the glass, clean the glass first.
Set your printer to "best quality" for important work. Most printers have this setting.
I hope this helps.

Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server. I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers. Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer. I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

Why are my color choices coming out only in grey tones?

I am using photoshop CS2. for some reason in the picture im working on, i am only able to work in black, white and shades of grey. i choose color (green, say) for the forground color, and by the time i've said "ok" and gone back to the work space, its shown me a grey that is the same tone as the green i chose...but grey none the less. weird, right?

go to Image-Mode and make sure you're not in Greyscale mode. Switch to RGB and then you should be okay.

Why does my project not turn out right when I export my movie?

I am creating projects for a church doing announcements via video. Once the project is created and my timeline complete, I export the project to my desktop. It often creates strange anomlies duplicating different parts of the project and replacing others. What is the issue here? Creating a Quicktime movie, 1920 X 1080P, 23.76 frames per second, H.264 Codec.

I'd first try exporting in the native exporting format ProRes 422. Personally I've never had this happen to me but I'd try that first.
