Colors print out incorrectly

When I print out an Illustrator file the color on the paper appears different then on Illustrator. Sometimes it might even be the same exact color, but it would print in two different shades of that color. How can I resolve?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Calibrate and profile your monitor, turn off color management in your printer driver, let Photoshop manage color and assign the correct ICC profile for your ink/paper combination.
Let us know if that doesn't work.

  • Infix to postfix printing out incorrectly sometimes..any ideas?

    alright, my program this time is to make an infix to postfix converter.
    I have it coded, and it works fine except when I use parenthesis. I'm supposed to test it with these expressions:
    a + b
    a * b + c
    a * ( b + c )
    a + b * c - d
    ( a + b ) * ( c - d )
    a - ( b - ( v - ( d - ( e - f ))))
         // initialize two stacks: operator and operand
         private Stack operatorStack = new Stack();
         private Stack operandStack = new Stack();
         // method converts infix expression to postfix notation
         public String toPostfix(String infix)
              StringTokenizer s = new StringTokenizer(infix);
              // divides the input into tokens for input

                   // if it's a number, add it to the string
                   if (Character.isDigit(symbol.charAt(0)))
                        postfix = postfix + " " + (Integer.parseInt(symbol));
                   else if (symbol.equals("("))
                   // push "("

                        operatorStack.push(operator);

                   // push everything back to "("
                        /** ERROR OCCURS HERE !!!! **/
                                 while (((Character)operatorStack.peek()).charValue() != '(')

                             postfix = postfix + " " + operatorStack.pop();

    When I use any of the expressions with parenthesis (except the 2nd to last one) I get an emptystackexception pointing to the area noted in the code.
    When I test the 2nd to last one (the one I would expect it to give me the most trouble) it prints out an answer, but it is incorrect. It prints out this : "Expression in postfix: a ( b - ( c - ( d - ( e - f ) -" which is incorrect, as it hsould have no parenthesis

    the algorithm we were told to use is here:
    While not stack error and not the end of infix expression
    a.) Extract the next input token from the infix expression (can be constant value, variable, arithmetic operator, left or right parenthesis)
    b.) If token is
    - left parenthesis : push it onto the stack
    - right parenthesis : pop and display stack elements until the left parenthesis is popped (don't sisplay right parenthesis). It's an error if stack becomes empty with no matching right parenthesis found.
    - Operator : if the stack is empty or token is higher priority than the top element, push it onto the stack. Otherwise, pop and display the top stack element and repeat comparison of token with new top element
    Note : left parenthesis in the stack is assumed to have a lower priority than any operator.
    - operand : display it
    When the end of the infix expression is reached, pop and display remaining stack elements until it is empty.
    it works fine on anything without a parenthesis, and it prints an answer (however it is incorrect) for the a - (b-(c-(d-(e-f)))) expression.
    still looking for an idea if I can get one
    Ok, I just noticed this. If i do a * ( b + c ) I get the error. But if I type " a * ( ( b + c ))" with spaces between the left parenthesis and adding an extra parenthesis as well, and NOT spacing the right parenthesis, I get a result that works just like that 2nd to last was doing. So it's something about the spaces...The answer is incorrect when I use the parenthesis as well. So it's not ignoring white space correctly for some reason and it's printing incorrect answers when I use parenthesis.

  • All color print outs are pink color

    My picture prints are all pink. I have scrubbed my printer heads (three times). I have replaced all my color cartridges with NEW full ink Hp cartridges. I have never used anything but Hp cartridges. Why do all my photos have a pink tinge. I even used only photo paper to print them out on, to see if it would make a difference. (NO!)
    I'm frustrated because I did not have to replace the cartridges yet. I am waisting alot of expensive ink!!!!

    Hi bonnieb2
    I understand you are unable to print color and almost no black.
    I have included a document which Bob provided, if you want to try soaking the printheads to see if this will resolve the issue.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw Printing Out of Alignment

    Images and color text print out of alignment.
    The issue started the first day we had the print.  It has taken me a while to get into diagnosing it but I have tried the following:
    I have tried replacing the toner cartridges with new ones (expensive).  The problem occured even with the original starter cartridges.
    I have tried a full printer reset.
    I have tried leaving the printer unplugged from power for 24 hours.
    I have tried several alignment features within the printer menu.
    Printing black alone is fine.  All other colors do not line up with each other or with the black.  Creates a 3D-ish kind of effect.
    The printers quality report shows all colors areprinting fine but not aligned to one another.
    I have included scans of a part of a rainbow print that illustrates the misalignment as well as the quality report page.
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for letting me know James_LAG.
    At this point it does look like a hardware issue with the printer. Please call our technical support and inquire about a replacement printer, at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP.

  • Print outs have thin border when -default-background-color is set

    Hey everyone.  In my application the print out have this very thin border.  The -default-background-color is set to #333333 (dark grey) and this is the problem.  When I set the color to #FFFFFF (white), the thin borders go away.
    When I set the default-backgroun-color to #FFFFFF, my loading screen is white.  I don't want that.
    Does anyone know how I can have my loading screen with a #333333, but not have the thin border lines around my print outs?  Setting the border properties on the printed component doesn't work.  The problem is with the background color.
    Thanks for reading.
    Tom

    Still hacking away at this problem.
    I thought I had the fix until I deployed the AIR application.  Setting the -default-background-color to white worked fine when running from flex builder, but when I installed the application.  The "borders" are still showing.
    Has anyone had any experience with this?  I'm printing Point of Sale receipts and they look like crap with these lines around them.  On top of this, some printers print differently.  The HPs print a border around the whole component. The Brother printers just print the left and right.  One of my customer's printers just prints the bottom and right borders.

  • Why do graphics and colors that appear on the monitor show up as blank spaces when printed out

    Graphics (especially color) on emails and attachments show up as BLANK spaces when printed out.
    Also, some color graphics and detail work of those graphics on familiar websites do not show up on my monitor
    Both of these situations DO NOT occur on Explorer. With that browser - everything is OK

    it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
    its the equivalent of the old
    patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
    doctor replies," well, don't do that "
    What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
    Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

  • Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

    canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
    i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
    i set the printer to correct icc profile
    print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
    however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
    i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
    can  you please assist and thanks

    I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
    When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
    Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

    If the grayscale looks ok on screen, you are probably not setting up your print correctly. What OS? What printer?

  • Print out colored text

    Hi Experts,
    I use below codes to display a colored subtotal line on the report:
    format color 4.
    write: /20 'Subtotal', 40 wa-netwr.
    format reset.
    It works. The color is fixed on the display, however, when the report is printed out, the shading of the colored green lines covers over the the word “Subtotal,” and the value of net value, to the point where it is unable to be read.
    Could you kindly let me know how to fix this print out issue?
    Thanks.
    Yu.

    hi,
    <b>INVERSE influences the foreground color.</b>
    With one exception (COLOR OFF), the system takes the COLOR specified from an inverse color palette and uses it as foreground color. The background color remains unchanged. For COLOR OFF, INVERSE has no effect, since this would set the foreground and the background to the same color.
    COLOR sets the color of the line background. If, in addition, INVERSE ON ist set, the system changes the foreground color instead of the background color.
    you try with this code............
    format color 4 inverse on.
    write: /20 'Subtotal', 40 wa-netwr.
    format reset.

  • I have a Office Jet Pro L7780. When I try to print red, the color comes out brown

    I have a Office Jet Pro L7780. When I try to print red, the color comes out brown. I have tried replacing all of the ink cartridges, printing from within two different programs (microsoft word and belight business card composer V5) from my Mac, and from within MS Word on my Windows lap top. In all cases if red is called for, I get brown.
    I have gone through the printhead cleaning procedure, the alignment procedure and the print quality diagnostics, all to no avail.

  • Incorrect Character Print out

    I have through eprint to print out Chinese character on the Tiltle and content, but the print out was dispalyed some of unexpected symbols. And after I logon to eprint website, the Chinese character title can be display correctly, Could you help me to solve it? Thanks

    Hi,
    Most likely due to fonts. Your machine may have those fonts therefore you can see properly BUT the ePrint may not. My suggestion: change to another font and try again.

  • Same colors print great in PS, muted in ID

    Why do colors in a given graphic print differently from InDesign versus Photoshop?
    As an example...I have a 300 dpi PSD graphic that is a background of reds and oranges, very vivid and saturated. When I print it out from Photoshop onto glossy paper, it prints beautifully and very accurate per the screen.
    Then I import the same graphic into InDesign. When I print it out, using the same printer and paper, the color is very different. All the red tones and saturation is gone. The red and orange background is now muted browns and golds. The difference is striking. The graphic looks completely washed out, or even like a different graphic because all of the red tones are gone.
    I have tried printing many different variations: changing the graphic from RGB to CMYK, making sure the color working spaces are the same between the two programs, the print settings, etc. I do not understand why this same graphic prints so wonderfully in Photoshop and yet so drab out of InDesign.
    I am using a Mac (OS 10.5) with Creative Suite 3. Printer is an Epson R300. I have tried two other printers with the same results, so I've ruled out the printer as the culprit. I'm pretty sure it's an incorrect setting in InDesign. I would understand if programs from different software makers printed a graphic differently, but with all the connections between InDesign and Photoshop, the difference here should not be happening.
    Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong in InDesign? If you need more information about my set up, let me know. Thank you.

    The problems you are having are in part due to IDCS3 and in part due to Leopard. Do a search in this forum for "color printing InDesign".

  • Upgraded to Tiger OS and now color prints all wrong

    I recently replaced my HD and upgraded to Tiger OS. Since then, my color prints have been horrible. My printer/copier is an Epson CX4800 and the color copies it produces are still OK. Trying to print a color print produces a pic with bands of color at the top and bottom borders, incorrect colors in the picture, and a weird type of "halo" effect around the objects within the picture. I have downloaded the newest updates/drivers for my particular printer. I have tried printing different types of files (JPEG, GIF) and get the same results. The printer/copier itself checks out OK (nozzle check, head alignment, etc). Any ideas??
    thanks,

    Theresa, my old Epson 740 did exactly the same thing as you described after updating toTiger 10.4.8. I just chalked it up to the printer being so ancient. Like you I went through all the cleaning rituals. However, I also have an Epson Stylus Photo R220 which survived the update.
    Did you by any chance repair permissions after you updated? (Apparently, this did not work for my ancient Epson.)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature
    If by chance you did repair permissions, maybe you should contact Epson and/or check out their support site to see if there is some sort an issue w/your model printer & the latest Tiger update.

  • New Ink Cartridge but can not print out/copy any document.

    I have HP Printer Deskjet 1050. I've just bought 1 x Original HP Ink Cartridge Colour Black No.61 that can be used as well for my HP Deskjet 1050 (because I could't get No.802 Black Cartridge). I have pulled out the empty one and pushed the new one in until I heard snap sound (I've followed as what is in the instruction poster). Before my old Ink was empty, I was able to print either black or colour. Now, after I've got new one pushed in, I couldn't print nothing, even the alignment page doesn't automatically print out after all cartridges are pushed in and cartridge door was closed. My Black Ink warning light is blinking all the time. I can scan to my computer/laptop but can not print it out or make copy from the printer. This printer is not compatible for my laptop with OS Windows 8.1 (64-bit), but I was able to use my printer for printing thru my laptop by using HP AiO Printer Remote. Please help?
