Display and print color matching

Hi all. I need help because I'm coming crazy.
I use Lightroom 5 to organize, edit, print and share my photos. I use an iMac 27" with Maverick installed, I calibrate the display using X-Rite color munki Display. I have a Canon 9500 Mark II printer and I like printing on Canon Fine Art Photo Premium Matte (FA-PM1), I also have a little Epson Stylus Photo P50.
Here we are…I want Lightroom to manage the color when I print and I select the right Icc profile for the printer and the paper but when I print with the Canon printer the prints came out with incorrect colors; last attempt the print came out too magenta. How can I make sure the printer is not managing the color in the printer dialog box? There is nothing that say "none" or "no color management". I'm getting better results with the little Epson printer rather then the more expensive Canon printer.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks a lot.

Aperture, Display and Printer Color Match/Profile Calibration ?

I need to calibrate my HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m Printer to match what I see on my Acer X223w 22 inch display when using Aperture 3 and Photoshop CS5
The colors are pretty close to matching but each photo I print comes out deeper in color ( shadows and highlights are off )
I have the Acer display Color Profile set to Adobe RGB 1998, All photos shot with my Nikon D5000 in RAW format and Color Profile Adobe RGB 1998,
Aperture 3.03 Proofing Profile Adobe RGB 1998 and when I print a photo I set HP Color Matching / ColorSync to Adobe RGB 1998
I've been using Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201 for prints but can't find a profile for it to add to my HP Printer.
If I did find a profile how would I install it so it would show up in the drop down list of paper types ?

Well I'm pretty amazed that the prints are just slightly off, with all the things you're doing wrong in color management.
First off, you don't seem to know the difference between a device profile and a working space (i.e. 'synthetic' profiles), since you assigned AdobeRGB to both your monitor and printer. You should profile your printer and display with special hardware, like the X-Rite Colormunki. This will generate a profile, that will translate how color should look theoretically (by the assigned working space e.g. AdobeRGB), to how they will look on the hardware.
Secondly, RAW-images do not have a color profile! The setting in the camera only applies to in-camera JPEGs. RAW files only contain the voltages the CCD measured, this has to be translated into in image later.
Thirdly, softproofing in AdobeRGB almost never makes any sense. It doesn't make any sense if your are softproofing in AdobeRGB if you want to match screen to print. Your softproofing profile should be the profile that is specific for your printer and paper combination. The only synthetic profile that makes sense to softproof to is sRGB, since that is the colorspace used on the web. And even that is disputable since 99.9% of web user do not have a calibrated/profiled monitor.
Fourthly, Adding a color profile will not add a paper type to the drop down list in the printer driver. These are hard-coded in the printer driver and basically determine the amount of ink being placed on the paper.
So I'd suggest at this point to fetch yourself a copy of 'Real World Color Management' by Bruce Fraser (ISBN 9780321267221) and read it from the front to the back before you again embark on the path of color management.

Month view display and print format

An earlier version of iCal would display (and print) the current month without showing the last few days of the previous month and the first few days of the next month to fill out a week. Is there any way in version 3.0.7 to display and print in this format again?

testing and testing and testing
here the newest info
it is not the letter size. small or caps letters.
i added a new pdf. here under the bold number you must see "581*LAVENDER". but with reader 9.x it looks like the printer cardridge goes empty.
i´ll go crazy with this sh... :-)

Size & Quality - Exporting Pix from iPhoto for Display and Printing?

I would like to export pictures from iPhoto for use in PowerPoint.
If the pictures are in 4x3 format, exporting them using the "Custom" size option and specifying 1024 as the maximum pixels results in nice 1024 x 768 photos that fill the screen on most projectors. This is good.
The exported photos are also at 72 pixels/inch. This is OK for onscreen display, but not so good for printing.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Can someone recommend a way to export a batch of photos from iPhoto at a specific size (1024 x 768) and perhaps 300 pixels/inch) that I might use in PowerPoint for both display and printing? And perhaps explain the bloated file sizes with no apparent quality increase?
Many thanks!

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums

DPI is meaningless for a digital photo until you display it - Dots Per Inch are just a meaningless number - the displayed DPI is the size of the photo in dots (pixels) divided by the inches of the display measures in inches - the DPI setting in the photo means nothing - see The Myth of DPI for a longer discussion on this.
Oddly, the results are the SAME (1024 x 768, 72 pixels/inch) whether one specifies Low, Med, High or Max quality in the iPhoto export panel -- though the file sizes ARE different (higher quality = larger sizes). (I used Photoshop Elements to identify the sizes of the exported photos).
What's odd? you said export with the largest dimension 1024 - that occurred just as you specified - what would be odd would be that the export were different form your specification
What gives? I would have thought higher quality files would have been associated with higher resolution (more pixels/inch) but this doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't understand why the file sizes are larger.
Higher quality means less compression (and therefore larger file size) - it does not mean a difference in compression - JPEGs have a compression from 1 to 12 available - iPhoto does 4 steps - small, medium, large and highest. I've not see the compression documented but I think of it as like 3, 6, 9 and 12

Forget the DPI - just be sure the pixel sizes are correct - for printing you should have at least 150 dpi and 300 dpi is better - so at 150 DPI printing your 1024x768 photo can be printed at 6.8" x 5.12 " -- at 300 dpi it would only 3.4" x 2.55"

How to display and print CCR showing not only results, high, low or normal, but also normal ranges of tests.

How do I display and print CCR showing not only my actual results, high, low or normal results, but also normal ranges of each test? I can do this individually but not for the composite CCR.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not exactly clear on what you are doing. I can tell you that the ranges and flags for high, low, and normal come from the lab results provider in the lab results they sent you, not from HealthVault. If you go back to the original document that came from
the laboratory, you should be able to open it as a document and print it.
I hope this helps. If not, please respond with more details, or if you'd prefer a private conversation, please contact HealthVault customer support by opening a support ticket with them.
Thanks,
Kathy

W-2 and 1099R display and print in Portal

Hi,
I need to get the W-2 and 1099 forms available for an employee in the Portal, they should be able to display and print these forms. (For W2C's I will use the standard W2 reprint request).
I have tried simulating PU19 but the parameters that needs to be passed is getting quite complex and I was wondering if someone has come across this very tricky development. I basically want the user to receive a screen with one dropdown, the year, the user can then choose a prior year and request the W2 or 1099 to be displayed and printable.
The client is on Enterprise 4.7 Ext2.00 with EP6 SP2.
Thank you very much and regards,
Ronald G. Meyer
Seems like I will be using a custom version of RPCTXSU0 for this. This doesn't seem to be something that is a requirement at clients as I had 0 responses ...

I am reading the TemSe file which was sent to the Tax Authorities which I think is not an optimal solution as there is filename hardcoding involved but this seems to be the best option for now...

LR3 and printer color is off.

I have a Epson CX7800 printer and when I try to print out my picture, the color is off. My image looks great, but when I try to print, the color's are not the same. I've gone to my printer settings and set them to no color management and set the default in LR, there is no color match. Am I doing something wrong?

Spyder 3 pro just over $100, Eye One Display 2 now replaced by the Pro, but Display 2 is fine and can be had new for arund $100. Both vary a bit from unit to unit, but much better than nothing.
To the OP, Lee Jay's link to the Epson leaflet might be slightly confusing for the setting for the Epson CX7800 or other non-pro Epson printers. The printer dialouge (main tab, click advanced button) looks something like this:
You need to select the paper type and "Photo" or "Best Photo" quality in the basic settings.
The LR print dialog should like this:
Obviously, choose the appropriate profile for your printer and paper. If profiles weren't installed when you installed the printer driver, you might need to go to the Epson site and download the profiles for your printer.

Printing color match screen vs printer

newbie here. im using Aperature and the prints coming out on printer don't match what I see on screen. I'm using MacBook Pro. What is the best way to match these colors? I know there's software you can buy and other stuff, or is there anything incluced in Aperature? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You may want to search on "color match" as there are several threads on this.
In net, you need an icc profile for your printer and paper combination. You may have been provided one with your printer.
You need to profile your display as viewed in your ambient lighting (this standard is the same standard used by the printer company when they set up their color profiles).
You need to switch off printer color corrections in the printer properties.
And finally, in Aperture, you need to switch on On-Screen Proofing, using the printer/paper icc profile. Adjusting under this profile should result in similar print results (excepting that transmissive light qualities of a display will differ from the reflective qualities of printed work).

Tints and CYMK - Whats the difference for screen display and print

Hi,
What is the 'technical' difference between a tint and CYMK? For example, if i create a box with a fill of C:0 Y:0 M:0 K:40 is this the same as a black fill with 40% tint?
Knowing that all screens and printers give different results, is the difference even noticeable? What about 'best practice' / 'industry standard'?
Workflow/context- I create artwork (documents with combinations of images, graphics and text) in either Ai or ID which all go to PDF and I present them either on screen or through print (regular printer - none of my printed artwork use printing plates).
Thanks for your advice in advance.

A tint is just a lighter version of your swatch, so yes, 0,0,0,40 CMYK is exactly the same as using the [Black] swatch and setting the tint field in the panel down to 40% or creating a tint swatch with a 40% value.
Not all colors are CMYK. On screen you use RGB and most desktop printers expect RGB data as well. On press you might use spot color inks if you have only one color and tints of that color to add, or you need some color that can't be easily produced in CMYK in a full-color job. You probably shold not be using spot color in your work since you don't go to press and printer simulations of many spot colors are quite bad. You'll find the really saturated colors tend to be out of range for most printers, too, if you use RGB, but if you can accept that your printed output may not match the screen (and unless everything in the workflow is calibrated, including ALL the monitors you might be working with and all the printers you might use for output, output on remote devices probably won't match what you see on your own monitor and printer), I would design for the screen if that's the primary presentation and let those out-of-gamut colors geet clipped in print.
Printing tints is a little trickier than you might think. Dot gain (how ink spreads as it is absorbed into paper) tends to make tints seem a little darker in print.

Wrong print preview and printed color from Lightroom 1.3

I am running Vista Ultimate and i just installed the driver for my Canon PIXMA Pro9000.
When i try to print from Lightroom 1.3 the colors are very muted, even when i do print preview the colors are wrong in the print preview screen.
No matter what i do i cant seem to get lightroom to Print Preview AND print with the right colors.
The image on this link http://www.pbase.com/charld/image/94711330
(on the left) is what i see and get when i do a print preview and print and my monitor image is on the right.
If i use Canon DPP the colors are not that bad, its a bit dark but that was easily fixed and i can get it quite close to what i see on the screen. My monitor is not calibrated..The images were all shot in RAW and converted to DNG...Do i need to re-install Lightroom as i don't think print preview has anything to do with the printer i have attached....
Thanks

I got the solution from another forum:
http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?t=1613
1. in the Print module, clicking on the Print Settings button ...
2. Choose your media type
3. Under Print Quality choose High
4. Under Color Intensity choose Manual. In the subsequent dialogue box choose None.
5. In the Print right hand panel under Color Management choose your print media - PR1 for Photo Paper Pro, SG1 for semi-gloss &c
6. Rendering intent Perceptual.
7. Hit Print and OK.
this resolved my issue!!

Display and Printing Problems

I am using Photoshop CS5 extended on a minimac running 10.7.4. I have the lastest updates from Adobe installed for the Adobe Creative Design Premium Suite 5.5. I am having problems with photos not displaying correcting, but not all the time. This may sound strange. I am working on a project for a client with outside floor samples. The samples have smooth areas along with pitted or valleys patterns in it. When the photo is displayed in photoshop it displays correctly for a time. I can leave the photo up or I can reopen the same file and the valleys and pits that are suppose to be displayed are now reversed and display as mountains or like a relief type of effect and prints that way too. Hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and can help.
This same problem occurs in Bridge CS5. The photos will display correctly for a short time but then the photos are reversed with the all the valleys pattern showing as mountains. I have deleted the cache, but to no avail. If I change to anothe folder go back to the original sometimes this clears the problem but not for long. So what gives?

Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully this will help.
This is how the file should look like.
This is how the file usually displays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a new MBP with high-res display, and the color seems washed out compared to my old MBP. Is this normal?

Putting the two laptops side by side, blacks on my old machine look dark grey on the new one. I also have 24" and 27" cinema displays, and the new high res laptop display looks washed out in comparison.
I have tried to recalibrate the screen color settings, but this doesn't seem to make much difference.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
David.

Yes, the gamma settings are the same on all 4 displays (my two laptops and the two displays).
After a little experimentation, I think that it's down to the brightness of the high resolution display. It would seem that it is slightly dimmer than the low-res one on my other 15" MBP, so I think that Apple have set the default colour profile to be slightly washed out to compensate. If I use the same profile on the high-res MBP screen as on the low-res MBP screen, then the colour is much better.
The cinema displays are a lot better than the laptop displays, but I was expecting the new high-res display to be as good as the old low-res one - especially as I paid a lot more money for it!
Ah well! I think I might take it into the store and just check that it is the norm for this...
Thanks for your help.

PDFs display and print fine in Acrobat but not in Preview of PDFPenPro

I have a curious problem in that check boxes in certain PDF files (insurance applications) appear as a "p" instead of a check box when I view the file in Preview or PDFPenPro. The check boxes appear and print properly when I open the PDF in Acrobat.
I've checked the fonts with the Apple Font utility and there seems to be no issues with any of the fonts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again?

Adobe Professional 9.0 display and print quality.

When I installed Adobe 9.0 it viewed and printed fine. Now it's unreadable. What settings do I need to change to get the viewing and printing back to where it's readable?

This happened to me late last year and through this forum I was able to follow setting changes I believe in my Abode Preferences and it worked. Then my computer crashed, but when I reinstalled Adobe Professional it was fine.
Then, we hired a new assistant for me. She installed Abode Professional 9.0 on a new computer (different version of course), and it was working fine in the beginning like mine did, and then one day she previewed a pdf and printed and the quality of the print became so low quality you couldn't read the text. Pictures are fine. I know it has to do something with the setting in preferences, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I changed to fix this problem. You help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Apple Photobooks and Prints Color Space? - Aperture

Does apple use Adobe RGB or sRGB to print the photobooks and prints via Aperture? Also what is the perfered ppi setting?
I am looking for a professional Adobe RGB printer with a printer specific ppi setting that I can order from via Aperture. If anybody knows these setting for Apple or another printer please let me know!!!
Thank you!

Can I suggest you buy Philip Andrews book, Advanced Photoshop Elements 10. he explains colour spaces and much much more very clearly and exactly what can be done with 16 bit files and what you then have to change to 8 bit to accomplish. He's written basic and advanced guides for Elements since day one. Usually available from Amazon for under £20.
