Colored Background Printing Black

I'm completely new to Photoshop since Christmas.  I've created a wedding invitation design and it looks great on the computer.  However, when I print the file (saving it both as a .pdf and as a .jpg), everything I have set to a couple different shades of blue prints in a grayscale.  All of my greens come out perfectly.  I have adjusted and tried to lighten blues, but I keep getting black and gray.  Please help...I'm nearing the time where if I can't get this figured out, I'm going to be forced to order invitations...I'd rather do it myself:-)  Here's what the file looks like:

Hi,
I think you can try selecting the option 'Always optimize for Printing' radio-button from the Color Settings dialog which opens on clicking  Edit >> Color Settings.
Take a test print and see if some difference happens?
Thanks

  • Laserjet 500 color consuming color toner printing black and white text

    How can I prevent the consumption of color toner when printing black/white text documents (pdf in Adobe Acrobat)???
    I just finished printing about 2200 2-sided pages in Adobe Acrobat pdf files, all black/white text, on my 500dn.  The color toner appears to have been consumed as I am getting signals that my yellow and magenta are below 10%.  They were over 40% when I started the project.  

    Hello there, 
    To get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since your product is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums - Printing and Digital Imaging.

  • Problem printing color only prints Black

    My printer does not print the colors it shows in the display that they in and installed correctly but do not print out on the info page .It only prints out black.Example if I print a coupon the stuff on it that is in color is just blank

    Hello @Big_Show,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're not able to print in colour when printing to your HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer from your Ipad. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. First, I'm going to have you run a test to verify if this is a printer issue or a driver setting issue.
    Step 1: Print a Print Quality Diagnostics Report:
    1. Load letter or A4, unused, plain white paper into the input tray
    2. On the printer control panel, touch the Right Arrow () to display the second navigation screen
    3. Touch the Setup icon (). The Setup Menu displays.
    4. Touch the Down Arrow (), and then touch Reports.
    5. Touch Print Quality Report. The print quality report prints.
    If this report prints perfectly, than your colour printing issue is due to a setting conflict on your Ipad. On your Ipad can you open Safari and go to www.google.com. When the Google page shows, try to print that to verify if colours are printing from your Ipad or not. If the colour printing issue is only affecting coupons, than this is most likely a security feature. There generally is specific coupon apps that you can download that support coupon printing.
    If this report prints with no colours, than you are experiencing a hardware print system issue. Can you please click here and run through the print quality troubleshooting steps provided.
    Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your colour printing issue. Should you still be experiencing colour print issues be sure to let me know how your Print Quality Diagnostic Report printed. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Why doe's my 8500A printer use color ink when printing black and also when unit is cleaning

    I only print in black. I am required to buy all the colors because my printer will not operate when any cartridge is empty.
    I was informed at Office Depot that all printers operate this way.  According to them it also uses ink when it goes through
    the cleaning cycle.
    The XL ink package at Office Depot  (black, yellow, cyan, magenta) is $97.00 + tax.
    I hope someone has a logical answer why this is set up this way.
    Why do I need colors to print black?

    The 8500A takes 4 ink cartridges and 2 printheads (one for black/yellow, and another for the other two colors). This design is so that you have have larger ink cartridges (stationary on the side, the printer only moves the printhead during printing). A drawback is, you have to have all the cartridges in, without the ink cartridges, the printheads could be damaged and would cost more to replace.
    Printing black text uses black ink only, it does not use color ink. The "Clean printhead" function does print a color page and uses color ink, but you only need to do this when you notice lines missing (printhead clogged) in the printout.
    If you print mostly black only, choose a model that uses cartridges that has a printhead built in. These printers typically can still print black with color ink out.

  • HP LaserJet CP1518 only printing black and white!

    Here is a weird issue. Today, my HP color LaserJet will only print Pages documents in B&W! The document in question printed in color yesterday. I tried a new document, and that one printed B&W! I 'printed' to a PDF and in Preview it was color, but printed black & White!! I opened a Photoshop Document and that printed in color, so it seems to be with Pages. Again, the document printed fine yesterday.
    I do have kids, and we thought they may have changed something, but if so, I can't seem to get it back!
    Help...please........

    Check that you have the HP selected in +Print > Printer.+
    Next pull down the button/menu marked Layout to +Color Matching+. Then check that you do not have +Profile > Other Profiles… > Black & White+ selected.
    Usually +Adobe RGB+ or Automatic is the one you want.

  • PDF shows background color as white. Prints black. HELP!

    I'm trying to print the screen the way I see it which is a white background with black font and an image, but it won't.
    I went under preferences and accesibility and replaced document colors to black text and white background.
    However, it still prints in it's Image with black background format.
    Help, I've never written on one of these and this is frustrating! Thanks much!

    Nice tip. Yeah the spreadsheet is definately much close to perfect with Bridge/your method. I'm able to change the background to black and get rid of the gaps completely. It looks like this at the moment: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8359/bridge1c.jpg
    There's just one problem. I can only save the file as PDF, when instead I'd like to save it as .jpg or .png, but I guess I could work around this and batch autoconvert all of those PDF spreadsheets into JPG or PNG format with Photoshop after I'm done making all of the spreadsheets.
    Thanks alot for the help!

  • How do I setup my printer to print the colored background white and the text black on PP slides?

    I have an Officejet Pro L7680. I am attempting to print PowerPoint slide that have a blue background and white text with a white background and black text. I've made changes within PowerPoint and made adjustment when printing and neither helps. I still end up with printed slides having a black background with white text? Thank you!

    Hi,
    Follow these steps to disable two sided printing:
    Open the file you would like to print. From the File menu select Print. The Print window appears.
    NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
    Click the settings drop down, it will usually appear as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
    Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
    Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
    You may save the settings as a preset by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
    By doing so and completing the print job these settings will remain default till another preset will be used in the future.

  • In iTunes, my printing is white and the background is black, How do I change it back to white printing on a black background.

    In my iTunes store, the printing is white and the background is black and I have forgotten how to change it back to black printing on a white background? I know that it is a simple answer, but right now I cannot think of it.
    Also, what is the "other" when you are syncing an ipad in itunes and in my case the other is more than half of my 64Gb. How do I find out what it is and then get rid of it if I want to?
    Thanks

    Hi gramie47,
    Sorry to hear that didn't resolve the issue.
    I checked online for issues printing from the Internet, found a couple of things you can try. Most likely it is a setting that needs to be changed in the browser settings, since the printer prints fine from the computer.
    From Internet Explorer, go to File, Page setup, Remove check from "Printer background color and images" if checked, or vise versa, to see if that helps.
    Here is another document you may take a look at.
    Map Images May Not Print Properly When Using Internet Explorer.
    If you continue to have issues, contact your Internet Provider for further assistance.
    Thank You.

  • Is there a setting to make a PDF print with no background and black text?

    I made a nice booklet that has colorful blocks in the background and sometimes white text and sometimes black text. We are not going to print it, it is just going to be a PDF on our website. Can I set it up so that it always prints without the backgrounds and makes all the text black?
    I just don't want people to have to print huge fields of colr if they end up printing this out on a little ink jet with expensive and finicky cartridges...
    BT

    There are is no as such specified setting for customer or reader printer, because it depends on the printer setting of customer. However, you can mentioned that, if any one want to print book as black text, follow this setting http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-black-white-acrobat-reader.html

  • Gray color background in PDF exported from Crystal Report not printing correctly in Digital Printer (CMYK)

    I am processing a crystal report on RAS server,and exporting it to PDF, using the RAS Dlls.
    Dim Report As ReportClientDocument
    Dim crExportData As New ByteArray
    Dim crExportType As CrReportExportFormatEnum
    crExportType = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF
    crExportData = Report.PrintOutputController.Export(crExportType)
    A gray background is applied to an object in crystal report, with RGB color code (216,216,216).
    On exporting this report to pdf, the color appears as required.
    However, when printing this PDF in a digital printer (uses CMYK color format), the color changes to Pinkish Gray.
    The color remains gray as required, in other printers.
    Is there any way to make the exported PDF CMYK compliant?
    Please help.

    From the info, I have no idea what version of .NET and CR you are using...
    How is the printing from the CR designer?
    How is the printing to another printer, say HP?
    Do you have the latest updates for Digital Printer (CMYK) installed?
    How does a plain pic with grey background print from a .NET app? (E.g.; is this a CR issue, or a framework issue? See:

  • Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

    Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black  I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

    Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
    Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
    Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
    This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

  • When printing a PLD in 9.0 the color background does not show

    I have a PLD document (Sales Order) that I changed a field to have a "red" background which shows in my PLD document fine.  But I cannot get the color to show in my print out or in the print preview.  This issue has not been a problem for us in 8.82 but in 9.0 the same changes I make does not work.
    Has anyone had similar issues with this and if so, any suggestions on how to fix?

  • C4650 Will only print black from the internet. MS Word and PS will not print in black but has color.

    Before you think I just haven't tried anything, let me run you down with the whole lot:
    -HP PhotoSmart C4650
    -Windows Vista
    -Problem: My printer won't print in black --but-- this only goes for Microsoft applications it seems. If I have a page of text in black, when printing from MS Word, the page comes out blank, however the printer is actually "printing" back and forth. IF, however I print from my browser, from email, or a webpage, picture, google docs, etc, black prints *just fine.* So far this holds true for both MS Word and PhotoShop CS5. Issue: Black ink simply doesn't print from any program other than a browser.
    -NO. The cartridge isn't empty. NO. It's not incompatible. NO. The cartridge head isn't dry and I am not going to soak it in water. This is a new cartridge. It's the official HP brand.
    I've done a search and I've found that a few people seem to have this "only print from the internet" problem, however none of these was solved. The only advice that an HP support member gave to one of them is to "install XP service pack 2" however.. I am not running XP. A few other people get the opposite issue where they can only print color from the internet and not from the computer's applications.
    I don't know much about printers but it sounds like some kind of driver issue. Yes. I've already searched for, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Whenever I have to print something, I now try to open it up in my firefox just so I can be able to print black. It's quite the hassle. Almost seems like some kind of ploy to cause people to buy new ink cartridges when it's not really empty.
    -Yes, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.
    -Updated my windows (although idk how that would help. But I know it's going to be a suggestion anyway.)
    Is there any known fix or should i chuck it off the balcony and go get a lexmark?
