Colour alignment issues with CP1515n

I'm having some colour alignment issues with my Color Laserjet CP1515n. Lately, I've noticed that the 3 colours go out of alignment from the middle towards the right of my printouts. Alignment at the left towards the middle half of the page is ok but gets progressively worse towards the right side of the page.
Nothing in the user interface allows me to reset the colour alignment. What can be the cause of this and what's the remedy? This printer is slightly over a year old and has only just gone through its first set of toner cartridges.

I am also having alignment issues to the same nature as the post below. I have just replaced the Black, Magenta and Cyan toners. After doing this the alignment goes out of register from left to right (left edge fits right edge all colours are out of fit by 2mm).
I have also found nothing in any manuals as to how to adjust or fix this problem. This is the second time I have replaced these colours. I have re-calibrated and taken the cartridges out several times but it is still the same.
Any advise would be helpful. As it is at the moment the printer is unusable for my job and it's the only one I have.

Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
You were lucky.
the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
you need to read up on color management:

You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni - Colour Alignment Issue

I'm having an issue with the alignment of the different colours with my HP CP1518ni printer. Basically the colours don't really print in the same spot, like the Red(Magenta) printing is never aligned with the Black / Yellow / Blue(Cyan) (so I can have Red text with a Black/Yellow shadow 0.5-1 mm below or Blue text with a red shadow 0.5-1 mm above for example).
Troubleshooting always just gets me to calibrate, but I've calibrated many, many times over many months, and it doesn't help.
Does anyone know of any other solutions? Or should I just buy a new Magenta cartridge and see what happens?
My cartridges are:
Magenta - CB543a
Cyan - CB541a
Yellow - CB542a
Black - CB540a
This question was solved.

Make sure you update to the latest Firmware. HP just recently released a newer version which as helped with a more concise callibration with the color plane alignment. Many folks have reported these issues resolved after running the update.
The XP update (english) can be found here:

Alignment Issues with Spry Menu Bar in Safari

www.laurentambard.com
I am new to CS5 and currently building a site for a friend. Having issues with aligning then far right spry menu bar so that it is flush with the page. It only shows a problem on Safari (as far as I know). Also the second tab (About) is dropping down slightly when the drop down menu is selected and not sure how to fix it.

If you place the menubar in a container with an ID of nav or similar and a background color of #EEE so that it blends in with the background colour of the menu items, the centralise the menubar and menu items as per http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/CenteringHorizontalMenuBarSample.h tml, it should go a long way to meeting your requirements.

Printing colour recognition issue with illustrator created design.

I have a macbook pro with retina display and illustrator Cs 6.
For some reason, when I tried to print my illustrator designed work at the professional printing service.
it said there are colour recognition issue. I wasn't sure if that is anything to do with the Illustrator Cs6 or to do with the retina display or the printing service.
I would like to know if anyone have the same issue, and how do you resolve it.
Thanks.

Ahhh,
The colour mode is websafe HEX is the design work by the looks of it and the print is using CMYK mode. Try changing the document's colour mode to CMYK from RGB and see if the blue looks darker. It should do.
Take a look at the image I've attached. I've created both RGB and CMYK variations of the hex colour #0099BA.
I think it's just down to a difference in colour mode between digital version and print. There are some really great comparison sites available that will give you a close conversion if your matching spot and PANTONE® colours too.
Let me know if your any closer to a resolution please. Interested to see what the issue is.

Awt alignment issue with japanese character

I am using japesenes OS(Win XP ) and running awt application (JDK1.6).
For Choice box (dropdown box) ,if the font is less than 15 and if there
is a mixture of japanese and number ,the numbers and the Japanese characters
are not vertically aligned.
I am using java.awt.Choice component to display all the months
Choice month =new Choice();
month.insert ("1 \u6708", 0);
month.insert ("2 \u6708", 1);
month.insert ("3 \u6708", 2); .. so on
While running the applet , in display window
The numbers and the Japanese characters are not vertically aligned.
When a month is selected, it is slightly truncated at the top.
My default font is [family=SansSerif,name=sansserif,style=plain,size=12]
when i change the font to 15,the characters are properly aligned.
Did anyone faced this before? if so can you please clarify why this behaviour when font size
is less than 15 or how to resolve this issue without changing the font size .
thanks in advance,
ruhul

Hi,
I have also faced the above mentioned issue.The workaround of using Full Width unicode though resolves the alignment of Japanese with english/numbers/special characters.
There is other issues with this to mention a few:
(a) The text is still top aligned.
(b) A leading and trailing space is added to the value in the choice component when full width unicode value is used instead of english/number/special characters.
It would nice if the mentioned issues could be resolved or if a work around could be suggested.

Alignment issues with menu widget and added web safe fonts

I wanted to use a font that was not already on the web safe list so I added one. I have a background rectangle I drew in muse for the main navigation to center on. In muse, I have to shift the menu almost entirely off the rectangle for it to appear centered on the rectangle in the browser. The sub nav I created has a background fill to match the rectangle the main nav sits on. Even though there is no overlapping in muse, there is overlapping of the sub nav fill and the rectangle behind the main nav in the browser. So it looks like 50% white fill on top of 50% white fill. It's obvious and looks stupid! Is this a program bug??? Using CC muse.

I have this issue fixed. But now I'm having a new issue with objects shifting. I really think it's just Muse and the program is buggy! I have read and watched everything I can find on Muse and it's supposed to be so simple a print designer can create beautiful websites. Well, I am a web designer. I understand code. I have used Dreamweaver for 8 years. I wanted to see what was so great about Muse. I'm finding out NOTHING! Because of it's bugs I spend hours trying to fix problems the program creates. I should have just stuck with Dreamweaver! Thanks for trying to help...

Weird Colour Saturation issues with MBA and Dell U2711

Hey all,
Just picked up a new Dell U2711 for use with my MBAir and my PC Workstation. I have the MBA hooked up to the monitor via the DVI imput with the official Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter. What i'm experiencing is some bizzare colour saturation discrepancies. I've attached two screenshots to illustrate the issue...
For some reason, icons in the dock and in Launchpad are displaying WAY more saturated than their icons when displayed in a regular finder window.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any ideas where I could start looking to find a solution?
Thanks!

Just updated the post with a new screenshot that better illustrates the problem. I origainly had a firefox issue as well, but that was fixed by changing the colour correction settings in that application.

Alignment Issues with Creating Crop marks

I am doing some very basic print layout and creating crop lines at the tops and sides of the page for the printer. Unfortunately my crop marks are not aligning. For example when I specify a line to appear at the top of the page (which btw is 8.5" x 11" US Letter) via the Metrics Inspector at the coordinates start : x=1.75" y=0" and end: x=1.75" y=2", when the document is printed it is actually off by a 0.25". It also does not line up with the crop mark I put at the bottom of the page. This may not seem like a lot but will cause the printer to cut the paper uneven. Is there some way to insure that the cop marks print on the page exactly where they say they are in the digital version of the document?

Have you enabled alignment guides in the Pages Preferences? It is a very handy feature to align objects in a document.
When you are done then select the crop lines and group them. Then lock the grouped object!

Data alignment issue with function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Hi All,
I am using function SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send email from SAP. What is happening is the internal table which contains the data of the email(Content of the email) is ok. That is data in internal table is in proper format as required. This table is passed to FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. After execution of this FM, mail is sent but the format of the email content is not the same as the format of the data in internal table.
Can anyone guide me regarding this discrepancy in the data alignment or format in the actual email ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chetan

Hi,
Pass the values like the following format,
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data = docdata
      put_in_outbox = 'X'
      commit_work    = 'X'
    TABLES
      object_content = objcont
      receivers      = intrcvers[].
CASE int_error.
    WHEN 0.
      MESSAGE s888(sabapdocu) with "Mail Sent Successfully...".
    WHEN OTHERS.
      MESSAGE s888(sabapdocu) with "Mail Not Sent...".
ENDCASE

Alignment issues with quiz boxes in captivate 7

when viewing quiz check boxes with their associated question they seem aligned in captivate. but when i preview the slide or publish the slide they are no longer aligned.
is there a fix for this?
my work around was to make the questions white and place a blk text box over it so i can manually move the question box separately from the check box.

Hello and welcome,
Which version of 7? If you don't have 7.0.1.237 yet, it is time to upgrade. I think this is one of the fixed bugs.

Indesign CS3 printing alignment issues with Konica Bizhub

Hi,
I am designing documents in ID CS3 to print inhouse on our Konica Minolta BizHub 350 through a Fiery. I will set up a document with at least .375 inch border all the way around. I'll print it, sometimes the documents are duplex, and it's all good. A month later I will go to print this document again, same print set up options and everything is shifting to one side, sometimes as much as .5 inch. Our printer technicians have been out here and found that we did not have the appropriate Fiery driver. So we downloaded and installed that and everything seemed to be fine until today, I go to print a document that had previously been set up and everything is shifting to the side. I went in and selected the paper size rather than let it be defined by driver and it helped a little but it's still off. Same thing happens on business cards. I'll set up the business card template in InDesign, futz with it to make sure it's printing within the card size (I can't tell you how many sheets of business card paper I've had to toss trying to work this out) and works great. Next time I go to print the cards, everything is shifted up by a quarter of an inch.
This makes no sense to me. Am I doing something wrong in InDesign? Has anyone else had this problem? I just can't spend hours realigning every document that I've already created every time I have to print them. Please help.
Mina

You may see about getting upgraded to the Creo print management software for the BizHub over the Fiery. Despite it having its quirks it does pretty well.
We have had great luck with our BizHub though it only runs 6 hours per day. Only have to have service for PM kits. I don't know about those who require so much more service on theirs, perhaps they aren't built for 24/7 continuous operation. Ours certainly has no trouble being ran through the little one shift routine we put it through. Again, we don't really push the thing, just a hair under a quarter million impressions a year with a variety of odd stocks. For a specialty machine that does our short runs and one offs it is a really nice machine, though not something I'd just hit "print 1000" without reviewing an initial proof.
If you need to have it serviced that frequently and are getting inconsistent results that you speak of I think you are running the machine incorrectly. The gentleman that runs our was previously running a hand crank letter press for the last twenty years. It and a couple black and white production printers are his only exposure to computers at all. You should have someone educate you on how to properly run the machine if you are continually running into these problems, or get a $300 PC and a copy of Adobe Reader to do the printing for you like we do.
