Colours differ from screen when printing

Together with my Mac I bought Photoshop Elements9.  When printing the colours between the screen and the actual phot are vastly different. The printed colours are much darker.
My printer is a HP Photosmart D5460 which I have been using with my Photoshop Elements 6 and a laptop before and never had any colour problems.
Please can anybody help me.

Is your monitor calibrated? For one thing, the current macs usually come with the monitor set to be very, very bright. Try reducing the brightness of the monitor and see if that helps. Also, be sure that you aren't double-managing color. Start by trying with the color management option in PSE set to Printer Manages Color, then make all your color, ink, paper, etc. choices in the OS X print dialog that opens AFTER you click Print in the Print window in PSE. If you decide then to try letting PSE manage color, make sure you turn color management off in the OS X print window.

  • Colours differ from Lightroom to Photoshop

    Hello,
    Can someone tell me how it is possible that when I edit an image in Lightroom, it is much brighter and more saturated in Photoshop, than in Lightroom? Is it because you chose a colourspace? Is there a different colour-engine-source?
    Is it Windows Vista that handles colours different? Because it seems to me that the Windows photogalery has more or less the same colours than lightroom. When I put one of them as a wallpaper on my desktop, they seem to have more distinct colours.
    regards,

    Have you profiled your monitor lately?

  • Why can't my pics match color of the screen when printed?

    Hi there.... Please help me with my frustation.  I am using LR 2.6 and printing on a HP Photosmart B8550 on a MacBook laptop.   I can't get the colors on the printer to match the screen.  I have tried several profiles in the Color Management section of the Print Module (including Manage by Printer).    The prints are all darker and not as vivid as the monitor shows.  Although the levels in the histogram are OK, in order to get 'decent' color prints I have to increase the levels distorting the screen image.

    so I have to assume its a basic flaw with lightroom
    Actually it is certainly possible to print correctly with Lightroom. Almost all printers will just work. If they don't, you are either not setting up the driver right with the correct settings for ink density and paper type and/or are not using the correct color profile, or you have a really badly written driver for your printer that does not conform to standards. You can hack your way around the latter if you know what you are doing and get reasonable prints, but a new printer might simply be in order. In its quest for the best print quality and 64-bit compatibility with the latest Apple and MS operating systems, the Lightroom folks had to dump some of the old ways of doing things. The same thing happened with PS CS4. This unfortunately leaves some older and consumer oriented printers at the wayside.
    Now all this is excacerbated by some bugs in the printing systems of both Apple's OS and Microsoft's, where printer drivers will often simply refuse to give up color managing prints, resulting in dark weird colors. I doubt this is your problem though as it mostly manifests itself when you are using your own printer profiles for different papers instead of the standard ones.

  • MovieClip disappears from stage when printing

    Hi,
    I am printing a parent moviclip which is on stage and has many child movieClips with linked classes having all single frames.When I try to print by passing it to printObject which is in external class few things happend as:
    1. the object is printed but moviclip is removed from stage
    2. also the dynamic text labels are not printed
    3.the size is smaller than the original.
    how to get to resovle these issues to obtain good print out from flash cs5 using AS
    Any help is appreciated
    srini

    the only way i know to obtain pixel-perfect printing is to instantiate your printjob and using its pageWidth and pageHeight properties, (re)construct the pages you want printed, print and finally ready the no-longer-needed newly constructed pages for gc.

  • Images dropping from PDF when printing

    I am having an issue with 1 PDF file in which there are images that are dropping from the page when ripping to a digital press (iGen3).  I have tried re-pdfing the file because that has helped in the past with fonts not printing correctly because they were not embeddedd when the customer created the pdf.
    Same issue happened whether printing to the press or re-pdfing the file, a gray box appears in place of the graphic. 
    We found a work around where we drop the file in a hot folder for the press.  File is supplied from customer as pdf, we do not have the native files.  sample images below:

    I've tried it twice. It crashes Word after going through all the footnotes. After I restart Word, I get the message asking to disable the plug-in.

  • HP F2210 printer, wired LAN, cannot print from iMac when printer is installed on Windows XP.

    Let's try this again...
    I have a home network, and have installed my newly purchased HP F2210 printer on one of the PC's running Windows XP SP3.  I have fully installed & updated the drivers, and the printing functions work perfectly from the computer on which it's installed.
    I am also able to print without issue from any other PC running windows on my network.
    My wife has an iMac running Macintosh OS 10.4.11.  When connecting directly to the network via a wired connection, I am unable to locate the F2210 as an available printer on the network.
    Troubleshooting steps taken:
    *  I have tried disabling airport to ensure it's trying to find the printer through the wired connection rather than the wireless.
    *  I have attempted to install "additional drivers" on the PC the printer is connected to.  THIS FAILED, as I was unable to get windows to find the correct drivers on the install disk.
    *  I attempted to install the printer drivers directly on the iMac.  I was still unable to locate the printer after doing this.
    Any suggestions for other steps to try would be appreciated.

  • How to print pdf from mac when printer is connected to windows pc which in turn connected to same wifi as my mac?

    I have HP deskjet F4400 printer which is always connected to my PC with win 7 on it. And the PC is connected to same wifi as my mba. How can I print a pdf over the network? Because always taking my mba near the printer and connecting it and then printing is a time killer....
    I am using MBA 2014 with Yosemite and a PC with win 7.

    My strong recommendation is to connect the 2510 via ethernet to your router.  It is the most straightforward way to have it accessible to the entire network.
    Also, when you upgraded your network from g to n, did you put it in backwards-compatible mode (in other words, works with both g and n devices)?  I also strongly recommend that.

  • How to prevent the printed page from displaying when printing to pdf

    I have Acrobat 7.0 Pro running on XP Pro. Immediately after I print an Excel, Word or text file to pdf, the pdf output automatically opens on my screen. Is there a way to turn this off? Thanks!

    Turn off the viewing option in printer properties.

  • "no pages selected from document" when printing

    When I try to print a picture I have selected, it says I have not selected it. Why? I know I am selecting it. It also says it is too big for the paper size which is a 4x6.

    Stephen:
    Regarding the "too big" for paper size issue, you first need to crop it to 4x6 beforehand and then in Page Setup make sure you've got 4x6 borderless selected in the Size menu and the correct orientation, landscape or portrait, selected. Then in the iPhoto print window select Standard Prints-4x6 and 1 photo per page. Also you should have selected your particular printer in both the Page Setup and iPhoto print windows.
    I don't know why iPhoto would not recognize the fact that you've clicked on and selected a photo. Try doing a Revert to Original and then re-crop the photo and then see if the selection is recognized.

  • How to remove the account name from header when printing emails

    In outlook 2007 using Exchange Server 2007 users wishing to print an email using memo style have a header consisting of the account user's full name and a bold line under it, then the friendly email headers and body. Is there a way to remove/configure
    the memo style header?
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Unfortunately, there is no way in Outlook to change or remove the name or message header which is being displayed at the top of a printed message. It is tied to the Display Name of your email account which you can’t modify yourself for an Exchange account.

  • I get blank screens when printing PDFs

    For three weeks (ever since I upgraded from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10), my attempts to open PDF files in Safari fail, while FF:Mac opens them as usual.
    Here's an example: <http://www.warrencampdesign.com/bakerybible/images/gems/july8.top.pdf>.
    In Safari, after double-clicking the PDF file, a window opens asking me (every time) to select Reader or Acrobat. Alas, I then find that Adobe Reader, in my applications folder, is greyed out, preventing it from being recognized.
    Even after I already open Reader, Safari brings up the blank white window.
    I've reset Safari but that hasn't corrected this.
    Anyone have this difficulty? If so, have you found the fix?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    You're welcome Warren. Glad to see the problem was "solved" from the suggestion provided.
    How these preference settings get changed is a mystery to me. Another one is the Flash settings for QuickTime. Triggers quite a few queries in this forum about the "Quicktime ?".

  • Clear holes from traces in ultiboard 12 when printing to OH-film

    Is there anyway to clear the pad and via holes from traces when printing out the PCB trace?
    Im doing a prototype on photolaminated board.
    It realy helps to have the holes open wen drillning because the drill bites into the open hole and it doesnt have to go through any copper.
    Its realy difficult to trace in ultiboard witout filling out the pads and vias with trace.
    In the picture you can se all the holes witch trace in them. I want that gone.

    Hi there,
    The following method might help.
    1. Enable the vias and THT holes selections.
    2. Select all the holes and vias that you want to change.
    3. Right click, you will see the Through Hole Pin Properties and uncheck all the boxes shown below.
    4. Then you can just print it.
    Hope it helps!
