Different color values print/export

Hi all,
I have a document that I have to export and print (for printing as a booklet). I used a soft grey (0,0,0,30) for some backgrounds.
It exports with the correct CMYK values, but when I try to print the booklet the values change to 36,23,30,0, or something like that.
Is it possible to avoid than color conversion?
Thanks

Thanks, Peter.
I don't include images since I use Spanish edition of ID.
Export settings:
Output:
Color conversion: No color conversion
Destination: N/D
Profile inclusion policy: Include Tagged Source Profiles
Print options (through "Print booklet" option):
Output:
Color: Composite CMYK
Color management:
Document: Profile: Coated FOGRA27 (ISO 12647-2:2004
Color handling: Let ID determine colors
Printer profile: Workspace CMYK (Coated FOGRA27 (ISO 12647-2:2004))
Output color: Composite CMYK
Preserve CMYK Numbers checked
I'm using ID 7.5 (CS 5.5) and Windows 7 64b.
Hope all this be helpful.
Thank you for your help.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Line chart with different "colors": Values not available are displayed as 0

Hello,
I defined a line chart with more than one lines (aka "colors" in the chart wizzard) - each line representing the (monthly) values of a year. x axis are the 12 months of the year; y axis are the values.
When one defines such a line chart in BIP client there is a choice between sum, average and count for the data values.
This is no problem for my template as there is only one value per month/year - so I used sum.
The problem: for the actual year there are no values for future months . But bip nevertheless shows 0 for this month/year... Can one prevent this?
Regards
Peter

Solved it finally - unavailable values must explicitly be passed to the report with nothing contained in the value tag.

Different colors while printing a PDF

I have a problem while printing my pdf document, that was generated by a mPDF library (php). When printing it in Сhrome browser the colours differ from ones i get from adobe viewer. Can anyone advice on this issue, please?
Left is Adobe, right is chrome. I need right colours in adobe.

Also, is it a PostScript printer, used with a PostScript driver? Will it always be the same printer?

Color change printing in Photoshop CS4 and CS5

I have an Epson Stylus R1800. When I print something in CS5 it has different colors than printing in CS5. I checked the color settings and color mode and everything is the same. What settings did I missed, that I get such a different result?
Jutta

Sounds like you have the same problem as the Epson 2800. There is a post in here somewhere. The problem is with the Epson drivers. The person ended up buying a Epson 3800 If I remember correctly and had no more issues. His problem was with Red color cast or something like that.
You may want to get with Epson. Older printer, no new drivers on a new OS with PS CS5 was not a good combo.

Same color values look different while printed

Hello,
I have this problem and not sure how to solve it so I need your help. I needed to rework one wallpaper and elements I needed for it came embedded in a pdf file so I needed to crop them from it. I used Photoshop and rasterized that pdf file and then cropped those two elements from it including their dark grey background (elements are on the same page). After I positioned them in InDesign I wanted that background on which they are looks the same as background of the elements I cropped so I used eyedropper tool to get the same color. Pdf I exported looks fine but when printed on laser printer you can clearly see borders of cropped elements and different color in the background. Is there some option I'm missing to get it to look flat? Many thanks for help!

Hi,
elements I used are cropped from a pdf and set photoshop so that it
rasterize elements to CMYK mode. To be honest, I'm not sure how do you
set InDesign document to CMYK or RGB since it's not obvious as it is in
Illustrator or Photoshop. I thought it depends only on elements used -
if they are in CMYK or RGB. I think that this part with color profiles
is most confusing part of preparing documents for priniting, I'm not
sure which settings use so that files stay as they are when transfering
them to another computer.

Same logo printing different colors for different file formats?

I created a logo for a client who will be using it for some printed materials. I provided the logo in 3 different file formats: EPS, JPEG and Tiff.
In INDesign and MS Word, the logo is printing a different color for the EPS vs the Jpeg/Tiff file types. Is there something I'm missing?
I've even tried changing the color to something completely different and we are getting the same result. There is STiLL a considerable difference between the Eps file and the other two files.

No the logo was created for print and I originally had used a pantone color but converted to CMYK. The actual value is C69 M7 Y0 K0. When my client inserts the eps file into her InDesign layout, it prints a bright aqua color and if she uses either the jpeg or tiff, it is a much different blue. We've tried other colors because I was thinking it might just be the fact that it's a blue color... but the same thing happens to other colors. I am wondering if there is some sort of color management setting that is causing the eps to be different?

HELP! Different colors in Single print vs Contact Sheet print

Aperture 1.5.1, G5, 10.4.8, Apple 30" display, Kodak 1400 Dye Sub printer, Canon 350D, shooting RAW.
I have a few pictures and I want to print them. They are baby pictures so picture a little baby in standard issue baby yellow tee shirt and wrapped in baby yellow blanket.
I select four pix and go to print images. In Single Images I set it up as Kodak 1400, Color sync profile Kodak 1400 Glossy, no color correction and changes in printer settings. I then do a preview and the images are prepared and displayed in Preview and they look fine.
With the same four images, in Contact Sheet I set it up as Kodak 1400, Color sync profile Kodak 1400 Glossy, no color correction and changes in printer settings. I then do a preview and the images are prepared and displayed in Preview and they look like ****. Baby's yellow cloths are blown out to almost white. The off white wall behind mother and baby is blue.
I've tried several setups and tweaks and I always get the same result. One print on a page looks great, contact sheets look like ****. It's like the contact sheet setup is using completely different color settings than the single sheet setup.
Unfortunately you can't morph a working single sheet into a contact sheet. They have to start from different places (create new single vs create new contact)
HAs this already been discussed and fixed? hopefully?

How to print different colors of Strings into JEditorpane?

How to print different colors of Strings into JEditorpane?
Can any body give me answer ...

JEditorPane contain HTML. So write your HTML using the color attribute.
Start by read the the API description of JEditorPane. you will find a link to the Swing tutorial on "Using Text Components" which has working examples of using a JEditorPane. It also has an example of using a JTextPane where you can dynamically change the attributes of individual pieces of text.

Printing from LR has a different color cast.

I have Windows Vista and the latest version of LR and everytime I print using LR the print preview shows a different color and so does the print. When i use the same picture and print using PSCS3 or any other application it looks good. I have tried changing all the settings from within LR under the printer properties but nothing seems to help.
I changed all of the computers default profile to ProPhoto and now everything from within LR looks good but everything else looks awfull.
I also tried changing the PSCS3 to ProPhoto hoping that would help but it seems the only thing to do is not to color manage when in PSC3.
It seems its only when I shoot in RAW.
Please help!

There are problems with printing in Lightroom from Vista. Some drivers don't allow you to turn off color management in the driver. Sometimes the only remedy is to let the driver manage. Also make sure you have the very very latest version of the driver.
>I changed all of the computers default profile to ProPhoto and now everything from within LR looks good but everything else looks awfull.
That is an extremely bad idea. You need to profile your monitor. Never assume a profile such as prophoto. At most, delete the profile in the monitor's preference, effectively making your computer assume sRGB for the monitor.
>I also tried changing the PSCS3 to ProPhoto hoping that would help but it seems the only thing to do is not to color manage when in PSC3.
And that is the absolute worst idea. In Photoshop, set a standard space as the working space, such as sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophoto and set it up to ALWAYS respect embedded profiles. Otherwise you are guaranteeing incorrect color. Also, do not try doing any color critical work without profiling your monitor. Not doing so will always frustrate your efforts at printing. Lastly, never assume a canned profile for your monitor. They are almost always incorrect and actually have corrupt perceptual rendering profiles, tripping up color in Lightroom.

Print preview shows me different colors

Hi, I'm Nevio from Italy.
I've bought a new MacPro and installed new Photoshop CC.
I've a big problem: when I have to print an image, print preview shows me the image but with different colors (there is a blue dominant and a different brightness).
I try to select another printer profile or document profile but there is no way to have the same image in the printer preview window.
How can i solve this problem?
(I also try to uninstall and re-install all the CC Software, the printer and all profiles but no solution yet)
Thanks
Nevio

Need to display different colors for Actuals and forecasting values in WAD

Hi Gurus,
My requirement in the report is, I need to display different colors for particular values like Actuals(say value type 10) and for forecasting values(say value type 20) , and data will uploaded from flat file.
Scenario : If I upload the data for March Month, I receive actual values upto March(Jan to March month) and from April to Dec(Forecast values with value type 20), Every month I will be getting file and similarly for subsequent months, i will get current month actual values and forwarding months forecasting values,
Now , my requirement is, When ever i execute the Report, Say if i execute for April Month, Upto April( Jan to April for actual values should be displayed in one color) and from May to Dec ( forecast values should be displayed in different color).
I had tried with following options like exceptions and could not display , as it runs based on key figure values where as my requiremnet is based on the CALMONTH , i need to show different colors for both actual and forecast values.
Kindly, help me out from this,
Thanks

Hi,
it is not necesseary that you need to do that in WAD , you can do the same in BEx platform, Since WAD is build above the bex reports. so automatially any changes done in Report will be replicated in WAD
Go for Exceptions in Bex. Give some range for Actuals and Forcasting at the creation of the exception.
if you do those changes in BEX automatically it will replicate in the WAD.
for more information please read this link

Color changes when exporting to PDF from Apple Pages or Word

When I export to PDF from Apple Pages or Microsoft Word, there is a noticable color shift.
The RGB color values that are 23, 76, 140 in Pages for a medium shade of blue like this but appear as 50, 61, 134 with a decidedly purple cast like this in the PDF.
Has anybody else run into this problem? Any tips for troubleshooting?

Thanks for the reply. It was created using Apple Pages. I tried exporting to PDF in two different ways, both with the same result.
1. Within Apple Pages, one can click File > Export > PDF
2. The other option is to click Print > PDF > Save as PDF
I also tried this second method with Microsoft Word, and again the color was altered. Any suggestions that you can provide to resolve this issue will be very helpful.

Color differentiation when exporting to PNG

Hello!
This is just driving me crazy and I'm dying to find a solution. Whenever I export my artboards to the PNG format, I receive a slight change in the bitmap colorization.
In Illustrator, my colors are perfect, but when exporting to PNG, the end result shows an increase in color vibrance - making a light blue (for example) show as slightly more turquoise/sharper light blue.
Example:
(This is a screenshot capture. Illustrator artboard is on the left hand side, the exported PNG example is on the right hand side.)
So, my question is if I am doing something wrong with my color settings?
My settings have been set in my Adobe Bridge to:
Europe General Purpose 3
RGB Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK Space: Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)
PS: I constantly switch between creating graphics that are used for the web and other on-screen web applications (such as GUI's) and printed booklets and posters, etc. I've always had immense trouble finding a perfect working space with web and printed material. If anyone has an advice for color settings or some kind of best-practice working environment to create consistent color, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you!

Chrome is not a color managed browser. From the several browsers I have installed on my pc only Firefox has color management capabilities that can match the color with the Adobe color managed programs.
You have to understand that there are color and non-color managed programs. Non-color managed programs always display the colors with the color space of your monitor. Take for example a color recorded in the file say, pure red R=255, G=0, B=0. The non-color managed program will send to your video card the same number and your monitor will display the most saturated red it is physically capable of. When a color managed program reads this value, first it checks the color space of the document, which can be defined with a color profile, a soft proofing color space, or when there is no color profile with the color settings set for the working space. Then it checks the color space of your monitor which is defined in your system and translates the values from the color space of the document to the color space of your monitor which can result in a different value other than 255, 0, 0 sent to your video card. In other words color management is simulating on your monitor a color space different than your monitor's color space. The result from this is different color displayed by color managed and non-color managed programs when reading the same file.
You can't make non-color managed programs to match a color managed programs, but you can make the color managed program match the non - color managed programs on your monitor by setting you document color space to the color space of your monitor. To do that from the Edit menu, choose Assign Profile and select the color profile of your monitor. This will match the color in Illustrator to the color displayed by the non-color managed programs. This in effect turns the color management off because the color management is translating between the same color spaces which results in zero difference.
However have in mind that this is not a very professional way of working with color and it only ensures a color consistency between color managed and non-color managed programs on your current monitor. What color you are actually creating that others will see or the color that will print is unpredictable with this setup.
