Designjet 130 printer with Epson paper?

Anyone tried printing with a Designjet 130 printer on Epson paper stock?  The reason I ask is I'm considering replacing my Epson 4000 with a Designjet 130r and still have a lot of Epson paper stock on hand.   I guess I'd be on my own as far as developing the ICC profiles for the various paper types.   Money is tight and I hate to waste the paper, on the other hand I don't want to spend any more money on ink for the 4000, most of which ends up in the maintenance tank due to constant pen clogs and cleaning cycles.

This forum is focused on consumer level products.  For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Enterprise Designjet forum here.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
    Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

  • Problem printing on dot-matrix printer with continuous paper

    Post Author: kdebruyckere
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hi,
    We're currently developping an .net application for a customer of ours in VS2005 (c#). I used crystal reports for VS2005 to create an invoice.
    The invoices have to be printed on a dot-matrix printer with continuous paper (Brother M-4318). When an invoice is only one page long, there's no problem. Even when printing several sigle-page invoices after another, all goes fine. The problem occurs when an invoice is more then one page longe. The first page comes out correctly, but on the following pages everything moves ca. 3 mm upwards (3 mm on the second page, 6 mm on the third page, and so on...). On the report 'Design > Printer Setup', I selected the right printer, the right paper size, ... On the report there's a page header (consisting of two sections), and there's a page footer that is only printed on the last page, but there are no report header and no report footer.
    I can not figure out what seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem before? If so, please let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.
    thx

    Continuous paper is a little bit longer than normal A4 paper. I found only one way to set it: ReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize =CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperFanfoldStdGermanI had no success, setting continuous papersize by printer setup.  ... waiting for CustomPaperSize-Property (like CustomPaperSource)...

  • Difficulty  Printing Borderless Prints with Epson C84

    When I had an iMac G3 with OS 9.2 and used the Epson menu for printing, I had no difficulty printing 4x6 inch borderless prints (since that is one of the options on the Epson Menu). But now that I am forced to use the OS 10 printing menu, even when I identify the printer as an Epson C84, crop the photos to fit a 4x6 page and show "0" margins on all sides when selecting 4x6 as paper size, using either iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 3.0, the prints come out with a small white border on all four sides. The Apple Menu with Epson as the chosen printer does not give me an option that says "4 x 6 borderless" when choosing the paper size. Is there something I need to set differently in order to get borderless prints?
    hk Jones

    I also had a problem finding the "Borderless" option in the print dialogue. Here's what Epson Support told me to do -- It worked perfectly. I can now print borderless from either of the two macs sharing my Epson 1280.

  • Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

    I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5.  I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3).  I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture".   It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006.   I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem.  I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
    Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

  • Printing with Epson & Canon printers

    I’m new to a Mac having been a Windows PC user for years. I certainly like what I've seen so far. Reasonably competent with Photoshop CS3 and have loaded Mac version.
    Main printer is Epson R2400 but also use Canon Pixma iP8500 and both worked fine with PC.
    I had a number of files set up in a folder on my Windows PC which involve an image of 7.5" x 5.5" centred (on A4 canvas) and then framed by a thin 1px border of 10" x 8". These are for a particular task I perform and they need to be like that. Copied these on to Mac.
    When I print out on A4 photo paper on either printer the whole image incl. the border shifts about 0.25" towards one end - i.e. in portrait mode it shifts up the page. Also, the long sides of the border don't appear, but the short sides do. I have reduced the size of the border slightly and all 4 sides then appear which indicates that the printers are not printing up to the edge of the paper which of course they are capable of doing. I sometimes need to print right up to the edges of paper.
    Responses from suppliers as follows:
    Apple helpline - they said contact to Canon and Epson who can send a download for Mac operation.
    Spoke to Epson, they say maybe a download will work (they told me which one) but they say it's to do with the CS3 software. Download had no effect. Not spoken to Canon yet but suspect the same will happen.
    Apple store - I go into local store for tuition and one of their people uses same gear as me and doesn't have this problem with it. Suggested uninstalling printers and reinstalling. Tried several times - no joy.
    I'm going around in circles here. Solution maybe a blinding flash of the obvious - I hope so.
    By the way, in the printer dialogue box that appears as part of the Photoshop printing process I have got "centred" checked.
    I realise that Macs will have different screens to PCs but am I missing something here in the Mac print dialogue boxes? My first impression is that there are not as many options there as with PCs but I may be wrong.
    Am I right in assuming that this problem is something to do with the way my Mac is working - especially as someone else in the Apple store says there's no problem with his printing on the Epson?
    Help please!!
    Bob

    One simple thing to look for is that sometimes the printer drivers include a "borderless" paper size. Try looking at the paper size settings in the print dialog to see if you're printing on A4 regular, or A4 borderless. Also, I recall with one epson printer, I had to actually add the printer in again as another printer with its "borderless" driver. So if the paper settings don't help, try going into SystemPrefs>Printing&Fax, hitting the + sign to add a printer, find your printer, and see if there's another driver offered that's called something like "borderless".
    This assumes of course that you've checked with epson and canon for the most up to date drivers. Check their sites for any updates.

  • Printing with Epson XP-950

    I use a Mac Book air operating on OSX 10.9.5 and Photoshop Elements 11 and print via a wired connection to an Epson XP-950 A3 Photo printer.
    All worked fine providing good quality prints across all size and paper quality range. Recently a change has happened. Regardless of which settings are set prior to printing (size and quality) the printer produces a 6x4 low quality print with a border.
    I contacted Epson who provided me with their Easy print software, and the printer works perfectly using this. However the Easy print method is very drawn-out process requiring pictures to be transferred to it, rather than direct print usually available with the Photoshop system.
    I have had the systems on my Book air looked at by Apple who say all is Ok and should not prevent correct printing.
    Can you please see if you can cast some light on this problem and hopefully provide a solution?

    try see in instruction man http://mans.io/item/Epson/XP-950

  • Printing with Epson 2200 and Lightroom v1.3.1

    Ever since installing Leopard and Lightroom v1.3.1 in my PowerMac G5, my Epson 2200 printer produces prints with a very significant magenta cast. Does anyone know of this problem or, better yet, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    I loaded file 11832 from epson us site. This driver v3.0aAs is for v10.4.4 - 10.4.x intel based macs. Even though it's not for leopard? I did this as nothing else work prior for LR. I also downloaded easyprint v3.1bA. I set it to managed by printer then hit print, at this point I set color sync on the pull down tab along with checking the rest of that printer menu such as paper type i.e. glossy profile and the mode to advanced print quality 1440 with the high speed box unchecked. The rendering intent is perceptual & print res at 360 dpi. The print output is at acceptable than most of what I had prior which was lack luster. I did base my start point for LR from the LR book by Scott Kelby. I think the output can be tweaked a bit which is my next endeavor. This did work so I hope that this help's.

  • Printing with Epson

    Curious to know what I am missing and if their are any forums you would recommend I go to for further advice.
    Using a Windows Vista operating system I'm attempting to print using PSE on an Epson R1800. Everything checks out fine with the printer and monitor because when I print rendered images using the Window Photo Gallery I get an almost identical match to what I see on screen. I would prefer to use the extra controls in PSE though.
    PSE is set up in the Adobe RGB colour space. Settings I have tried in the PSE printer driver are both to let the Printer Manage Colour and Photoshop Manage Colour. Neither produce accurate results. The Printer Profile I choose is an exact match to the Epson paper I am using - Luster. Rendering intent is Relative Colormetric.
    Settings in the Epson Printer Driver are Best Photo - ICM - No Color Adjustment checked.
    Printed images appear too dark and somewhat saturated.
    I'm addressing this issue here since my assumption is the settings I have chosen in PSE are causing the problems. As mentioned above, when I don't use PSE results are much more accurate. I have even tried all the same settings in CS5, but with no improvement. I've tried a number of other settings in the Epson printer driver, but things just seem to get worse.
    Thank you for your consideration.
    Deep Woods

    I followed all suggestions and here is my results...
    I've printed from 3 sources:
    1. Windows Photo Gallery (The utility installed with Vista).
    2. PSE 8
    3. CS5
    The most accurate results thus far comes from Windows Photo Gallery. The printed image is identical to the image displayed on the monitor, both in brightness and colour. If this utility allowed me to adjust the position of an image on the page, my problem would be solved.
    A very close second place is the image printed from PSE 8. Colours are pretty accurate. The image is printing slightly darker and probably as a result of this, colours look a little too saturated. Settings that work in the PSE printer driver are "PSE Manages Colour" - "Relative Colorimetric" - and I choose the paper profile of the paper I'm using. In the Epson printer driver, "ICM" - "No Colour Adjustment" checked.
    The worst results comes from CS5. Both in the CS5 printer driver and in the Epson printer driver I tried a wide range of combinations, first using "Photoshop Manages Colour" and than using "Printer Manages Colour" I've even tried changing the colour settings from sRGB to Adobe RGB to PhotoRGB. The best results thus far comes when I choose "Printer Manages Colour". I turn "ICM" off in the Epson printer driver and use "Colour Controls" with the saturation cranked completely over to the right side. Doing this gets me closer to accuracy, but I'm left with washed out skin tones and a slightly green colour cast.
    My primary question is why does CS5 not give me the same results as PSE 8 when I choose the same settings in each program and why would the Windows Photo Gallery give me the best results of all?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Printing with Epson 2880 after Apple Software Update of Epson Drivers

    I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the loss of "Print Settings and Color Management" controls in the print dialogue when printing from Lightroom or Photoshop after the recent Driver Update (which appeared in Software Update.) Prior to the Update which I had been avoiding until it came down when I updated iTunes (again, Software Update) all print options were available with the Epson software. Oddly, if you elect allowing the printer to control the output the color and color settings are available but if you set the (Lightroom or Photoshop) dialogue to the paper profile then the color and color settings are grayed out. I talked at length with both Epson Tech support and went through the drill of removing and installing the printer and installing the newest drivers (from Epson) and nothing changed. I talked with Apple and again, nothing changed inspite of various adjustments. This is just a little disturbing since I do a considerable amount of photo printing.
    Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

    I'm going to make an additional comment to my question and that is, strange as the behavior is, this may be a normal function with the update. Although during my roughly hour talk with Epson tech support, the rep was not aware and gave me reason to believe what was (not) happening in the software was in fact wrong. Clearly, the new print dialogue with it's grayed out settings is different from the previous print dialogue and print settings. If you now use a paper profile - regardless of manufacturer - the software assumes you are going to turn off color management - which is absolutely correct. Although I have not tried it, I am led to believe from some material I found deep in Epson's Support, the "color" area in the print dialogue no longer permits electing printing in "advanced" Black and White. More correctly, inorder not to have B&W grayed out you must be using glossy paper and the correct black ink cartridge is in the printer. This isn't a bad idea but sometimes I find the image is better with a Matte paper. Obviously you can, and I have, printed in B&W - you just have to be aware that within the Color settings of the print dialogue you no longer have the "option" to select B&W or advanced B&W. In some strange ways the new dialogue and settings areas of the Apple print menu for the Epson printers is simpler but it does come as a surprise when you first struggle with the changes.

  • Trouble printing with Epson 2880 and SL

    Installed SL on my MBP but not my iMac yet as it is my main computer for printing with Aperture. I have been very happy with the 2880 and how well the prints match what I see on the screen (calibrated with i1d2). Well with SL I downloaded rosetta and the new 2880 drivers (as instructed by Epson), but whenever I choose a paper profile e.g., Premium Photo Glossy, the picture in Aperture Print Pane turns a purple hue. I, of course, have color management turned off in the Print Settings dialog. Anyone have any idea what is going on? As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything differently. More importantly, has anyone been able to get good photo printing with SL, Aperture and the new Epson drivers for the 2880 or similar Epson printer?
    Thanks, Jim

    That KB article just saved me from going back to 10.5. I was having the same purple problem with all Ilford and Hahnemuhle profiles.
    That problem is now gone (by just disabling Black Point Compensation) but: when trying to print from Aperture (2.1.4) with my R2880, any paper I choose is apparently stuck at +roll paper+, giving a +wrong source+ error when it reaches the printer. I now have to hit preview, select the correct page setup and profile and print from there. So far this seems to work. But it's a pain and not what I want to be stuck doing for very long.
    I had this problem before but only when printing to Manual-Roll. Now even Sheet Feeder options don't work. This would all be fixed if we only had a proper Page Setup option in Aperture as in every other OS X application...
    At least that convoluted method gives me the right colors - which I was definitely not getting by going the system managed route.
    Growing pains anyone?

  • Unable to print with Epson 3880 in LR3

    I am no longer able to print with LR3 on my Epson 3880.  I have printed lots of photos on it in the past and when I have tried to print on it in the last few weeks, I go through the normal process on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and everything appears normal.  LR3 processes the photos and the Epson Icon pops up on my task bar and it shows the job as having been completed - but nothing prints.  The computer believes that it has successfully printed my photos. 
    I have tried deleting and adding the printer, but that has not helped.  I have also tested my connection through the Epson Status Monitor.  I can print a test page with that utility and check for the need to clean the print head.  The computer appears to be able to talk to the printer, but it won't print photos.
    One other thing that appears a little unusual is that I can select a specific colour profile to use for my specific photo paper, but I can no longer find the setting in the printer driver that states 'Turn Off Colour Management'.
    I have checked the software update twice and I have the latest updates installed.
    I am stuck and need to print some photos for family.  Any suggestions are appreciated!
    Don

    That is a good tip Andrew.  I believe that the driver was updated in the last couple of months and as I am not printing on a regular schedule, I didn't notice the problem.  With the fresh install from the Epson site, everything looks the way it should.
    I am going to follow your advice and not update via Software Update.  I will install directly from Epson.  This is the first time in three and a half years on the Mac that I have had an issue like this.
    Thanks,
    Don

  • Trouble Printing with Epson RX700

    Loaded 10.6 and new Epson drivers. Rx700 has front and back paper trays. Word and Excel printed to the front try, but Safari would only print to back try, regardless of setting. 10.6.1 allowed me to print to front tray, but it seems like the system default is to the rear, regardless of how setup is set. Even if setup says the front tray is selected, you must still select it again when printing, or documents are sent to back. Epson says it's an Apple issue. Anyone solved this problem?

    Same issues here on my MacPro Tower running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Wasted several hours on the phone with Epson. Their tech support for Apple Mac has gone downhill in the past several years. I've owned about FIVE Epson inkjets, so I know. Phone support is outsourced to some other country, after wasting an hour on a horrible connection to who knows where, the level #1 tech support finally gave me tech level #2, who was more aware of the driver issues, to which I suggested they all SHARE their notes so as NOT to waste anyone else's time.
    First sign of DUMB, is the supposed "Snow Leopard" combo driver package offered on the Epson site. Listed as 70 mb's, it's less then 50 mb's, misinformation begins. Look closely ALL the packages are simply the drivers and scanner apps from 2-3 years ago, those ones worked under TIGER OS, and are certainly NOT updated for Snow Leopard. Now let's get really DUMB, and when you mount the "combo" disk image, you find a package installer that is a PPC app! The online docs say this updater is for you "INTEL" mac. Granted some PPC apps will run, this one for me was a HUGE problem. Opening multiple windows, unable to even click in the duplicate boxes to type my password to proceed. Why Epson is still using VISE installers that were horrible under OS9, terrible under TIGER, is beyond me. This combo package offers NO choices and begins to install the outdated freebie software from Epson, when what I wanted to do was upgrade the print drivers.
    So heres the deal, you can D/L the OLD 3.01 drivers separately from the same site page, but ALL the real print options are "crossed out", which means to me, NOT compatible, and rendering the EXPENSIVE RX700 printer USELESS.
    So I ended up downloading the Apple Epson drivers using "Software Update". Now you end up with driver version 8.0.7. This stumped the wonderful Epson support staff, since they said they don't write the "apple epson drivers", but this driver gives you back the drop down for the actual printer settings. And the phone techie ended up putting me on hold about four times, and then said she was told I should stick to that driver by someone higher up in support. Go figure, the Apple driver is better, but the BUG reported here, is making it less then ideal.
    If I try to print out a photo in Preview, the printer gives me the error message "No Paper in Back". I have to DELETE the print job and most of the time restart the printer as well. Epson had NO clue about it, and since Snow Leopard has been out for sometime I don't expect much relief, though I do urge folks to call them and report it otherwise we may NEVER see another driver as they are still pushing the several years old ones we had before. Not sure I'll buy anymore Epson printers, they mostly cater to the Windows buyers now, just like Sony. Epson Tech support phone number: 562-276-4382. Good luck to all, we'll need it.
