CS3 prints to dark and then to green?

Hi, In CS3 I am having trouble getting my prints to match the image on my MacBookPro Monitor. AT first the prints were coming out to green, so I calibrated my disply/monitor on my MacBook Pro. It seem to make a slight improvement and I used the Apple calibrating profile. Tricky to use. I made some prints with my Epson 3800 Printer using PS to manage the printing. Still to green. Then I went over the color settings in my Preferances and followed the guide lines i read in my CS3 for Dummies book. I made some prints which came out 2-3 stops darker, but no green. So then I tried making the prints through the Epson profiles and not photoshop and they came out lighter but way to green. The printer settngs in Photoshop are: Photoshop manages color; Adobe RGB printer profile, perceptual rendering intent, black point compensation on, color management set to off. I'm using North American Prepress 2 color setting. I did not have this problem in the past, but I also did not know how often one shold czalibrate their monitor. Should I try reinstalling Photoshop or do I need to download any update drivers or profiles?
Thanks for the help.

You did not state what OS you are using.
PS CS3 was released when Apple was transitioning the OS form the old printing path to the new printing path. I would suspect that CS3 does not send the correct information to turn off color management in the driver on OS 10.5 or later when PS manages color is selected in the printing dialog. This will result in double profiling. In fact I know there was an issue with CS3 and 10.5 with Epson drivers. If you want to have PS manages color selected in the printing dialog you will have to use 10.4 or older. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe that 10.5 was the first OS to use the new printing path. It has been a long time so I am not sure if the last update of CS3 fixed this. Maybe someone here remembers if it did.

Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work.

Screen Going Dark and Then Black

Although my computer is not an Intel, I have been following the discussions here because of the flickering problem. I intend to buy the i7 when the next series comes out. I posted my problem on the regular iMac G5 forum but received a very limited response specific to the problem.
My iMacG5 is the initial model and will be 6 years old this coming October. I have not had this problem before.
One day, the computer screen went black. Took it to Apple. Either mother board or power supply. Changed power supply and computer worked but technician damaged screen and bezel. Apple changed screen and bezel front and back. Came home, working fine but notice very slight and quick flickering sometimes. Suddenly, screen went dark and then black. The F14 and F16 keys could not change it. Took it back to Apple but problem could not be repeated. At home, problem occurs. Right now, screen at brightest but then brightness cuts back significantly but screen is as usual except darker. Computer can be used but darker. After a while, screen would go black. Can still hear computer. Fans normal speed. Light at lower right still blinking but when touch space bar or mouse, light at lower right goes off and computer stops but still black screen. When I unplug cable from back and wait 15-30 minutes and restart, screen bright again but then darkens and cycle repeats itself. Screen Saver not on. Beside the bezel, only items change are the power source and the screen.
CHECKED CONSOLE AS BEST AS I COULD. ON TWO OCCASIONS FOUND FOLLOWING NOTICES: BOOT CACHE.PLAYLIST: UNKNOWN ERROR: -1. ANOTHER ONE: LOCAL HOST KERNEL [0] APPLE SM_SHUTDOWN CAUSE = -100. THESE MAY HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANCE ALTHOUGH THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HOPE SOME OF YOU CAN HELP. Thanks.

You should visit your nearest Apple Store as soon as possible for getting it done perfectly !

Prints too dark and contrasty when printing from IDCS3 to Canon IP4000 inkjet printer

I have a problem with colours when printing from IDCS3 onto a Canon IP4000 inkjet printer and Ilford Galarie smooth pearl paper. I cannot find a solution to it or maybe I am not looking for the right search terms. Maybe someone can help me here.
I am using IDCS3 on a Mac G5 PPC with 2Ghz dual processors running OS 10.4.11. I have an Eizo ColorEdge CE210w monitor which I profile regularly with a Gretag Macbeth eye-one device.
I have designed a 50 page document with about 200 images. Now when I print from IDCS3 the images are too dark and very contrasty. But when I print the same image from Photoshop CS3 the print is fine.
I have been using the canned ICC profile from Ilfords website.
The one difference was that in Photoshop I had a choice of rendering intent in the print dialogue which I set to relative colorimetric. (I have subsequently found that I have the choice of rendering intents in ID if I select each image and change the RI before I get to the print stage which can be a pain)
I would appreciate your help with this as I do not really want to redesign the layout in Photoshop all over again.
Thank you in advance.

You can change overall rendering intents for each document under Edit/Assign Profiles.

CS3 printing too dark - works in CS2

Hi,
I've just upgraded to CS3 and everything seems to work EXCEPT printing. The pictures print but are much much too dark compared to CS2. The CS2 photoshop prints are what I see on the monitor and has worked for a couple of years.
I've tried to make all the CS3 settings the same as CS2 but I must be missing something.
I've set the print setup to:
"Let Printer determine Colors" and "relative colormetric" so that the printer applies the ICC profiles, not Photoshop.
I make sure the printer driver dialog is set to "ICC" and "relative colormetric".
I've set the "color settings" under edit to be the same as my CS2 settings.
In everything I'm using the same color spaces in CS3 that I use in CS2.
So, what have I forgotten?
Thanks

Yes.
The ABW driver wants to be fed gamma 2.2-encoded image data.
This is why my standard recommendation for printing to the ABW driver __ONLY__ is to use:
Color Handling = Photoshop Manages Colors
Printer Profile = Adobe RGB
Rendering Intent = Relative Colorimetric
Black Point Compensation = Enabled
Why does this work? Because no matter what your image working space is (e.g., sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, Apple RGB, ColorMatch RGB, etc.), doing this will cause your image data to be encoded in gamma 2.2 before the data gets passed off to the driver. (Adobe RGB has a gamma encoding of 2.2.)
The same workflow will work in Lightroom, too. You just need to check the "Display Profiles" checkbox in Lightroom to access Adobe RGB when selecting a printer profile.
If you are in grayscale mode instead of RGB mode, choose "Gray Gamma 2.2" instead of "Adobe RGB" for the printer profile.
However, the catch is that -- as noted in this thread -- there is currently a glitch, which we (Adobe + Apple + Epson) are investigating. One of the symptoms of that glitch is that the above suggested workflow does not work on Leopard.

CS3 PRINTING VERY DARK COLOR PRINTS ISSUE

Hi,
This is the situation:
I work on an Eizo CG241W calibrated monitor, and Epson 9880, 9800 and 4800 printers profiled with i1 PRO and EYE-One Match Software. But recently we made a move from Windows to Mac, and since then the color prints are being printed much darker then they used to. I havent been able to figure out was causing it. The issue is the same with all printers.
With the black and white prints printed in Advanced B&W and selecting "normal" (not dark, or darker...) they come out perfect. Just as in the screen. But not the color prints. I need to make them really look very very light on screen to get them where they should. Before I needed to make them lighter, but not as much as now. Same images and files Im talking about. Ive used Epson canned profiles and im having same results, variations, but as dark as with the created profiles.
Thanks for reading and any help on this.
Best,
Alex

Hi,
Thanks Seth, Ballard, Lundberg, and everybody.
The problem has been solved but the mystery remains.
The issue wasnt in the steps needed to print. Thats what I do in the studio where I work most of the time. We calibrate monitors daily and the printers every month more or less. Ive been doing it here for over a year with no problem. This started when we changed platforms and equipment.
However, tired of this, we decided to wipe out clean the printers mac station. Reformat, reinstall all software and drivers, reconfig, etc. And now is working. What was the problem? Who knows.
Thanks again to all,
best,

Print to pdf and then email...

I frequently print a document to pdf and then email it as an attachment. The print dialog box allows me to save as pdf or email as pdf. I would like a print plugin that does both actions - allows me to name and save the pdf to a specified location and then adds it as an attachment to a new email. Any ideas?

Create a Print Plug in Automator, such as the below, which does exactly as you want. When you set it up, make sure you click the Options that I clicked and this will allow you to name the PDF, and save it wherever you want to.
I named my Print Plugin "PDF File & Email"

My ipod touch 5th gen camera keeps on crashing. I can't use it properly because before I can click on the camera button, the screen will go dark and then will go back to home. What can I do about this?

so I've been using my ipod touch for three months already. Then I noticed that the more I use my camera, which is not very often, I only use it to snapshot wonderful events in my life, the more "crashing" becomes often in my ipod. There are several times that I will repeatedly click my camera button just to open it as it keeps on crashing. my software is up to date, iOS 6.1.3 and I thought that updating it and restarting it will do the trick. Also, the panorama feature of my camera is kind of defective, It's very dark and the images keep in getting ragged on edges. Like it's been cut with sheers or any sharp material. What can I do about this? Is there any way for me to get this fixed?

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

InDesign CS3 Print Engine Error and Corrupt Print Dialog Box

We are a networked office working on various files off of a server. After setting print settings in the print dialog box and saving the file, when another user (or the same user) reopens the file, the Print dialog box settings are changed in a bizarre, corrupted way, and the file will not print. We get the following error:
Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem.
and printing fails to the HP LaserJet 4240 PS (64 MB RAM).
We all use Windows XP, SP2, Dualcore 3 GHz Pentium Processors with 3.5 GB of RAM.
Specifically, the Print dialog box shows these strange settings:
Scaling gets set to 0%, copies are set to 0
Spreads are turned on
Print Visible Guides and Baseline Grids are turned on
All printers marks are turned on, offset is set to 0
Use document bleed settings is turned on, include slug area is selected
Output Text as Black is turned on
Omit for OPI has all 3 file formats selected (EPS, PDF, and Bitmap)
Usually resetting the Print dialog box and saving the file allows us to print but then the next time we open the file, the Print settings are corrupted again.
Any solutions? Or any fixes in the works?
Thanks for your help!

We currently only notice this problem with files associated with one project. The project is a book of many chapters, each with it's own file. The problem affects multiple files and multiple users (4 out of 5 people working on these files have experienced the problem). It may very well be a problem caused by a different user opening the files after another has closed them.
We have a LAN with multiple Dell servers running Windows 2003 and many end-user PCs using Windows XP. All printers are on the network but printing occurs locally, meaning that data sent to a printer does not go through a server.
We could test the problem by copying a chapter to one person's computer and making them the only person who works on it for a day or two. It's just hard to do so because different people have different duties to perform on all files.
Thanks for your help!

So, printing an image from PS is OK, but from LR it's dark?
Do both have the same printer ICC profile selected?

At work I can give my printer one Job and then I have to restart the Printer, why?

Hi guys!
For a long itme i have used these forums for support, and now for the first time I come to you with a question, one which i cannot find an answer to anywhere!
I am running mountain lion on my mac, printing from a Samsung CLP-310 it works fine. However only for one print job. I tell it to do something and it does it happily but then I have to switch the printer off and on again to print another document. Why does this happen? I hope someone can help as watching the printer booting up over and over is getting tedious

Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond. I am currently connected via USB. All other USB devices and or printers work fine I have also tried uninstalling and re installing the printer

You will need an App like PrintCentral installed on the iPads in order to print from them.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Or, you can install an application like Printopia on your MacBook Pro. The MacBook must be running if you want to print from an iPad.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
It is impossible to say whether either App will work for you, but there is a free trial for Printopia.
