Elements 10 and photo printing

I have just installed Elements10. After correcting colours on a photo I find that it does not print to the corrected colours. Printer is a new Epson Artisan837 with 6 ink tanks. I am getting great photo prints provided it is not done through Elements 10. I have manipulated all the settings that I can find but no luck.
Any knowledgable advice would be most welcome.

It`s mostly about correct settings. Please try:
1) Launch Print dialog box.
2) Click Change Settings.
3) Click Advanced Setttings. This would launch Printer Preferences.
4) Choose correct media type, print quality as per your need, mode (that depends on your image mode, so if your image is in Adobe RGB mode, you can check from Image->Mode) choose same. Usually Adob RGB gives good results.
5) Now try one sample to verify.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Garry

Striping in Photoshop Elements 7 photo prints

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. My PC runs Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). For years, I have produced high quality prints with my Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer. Not so recently.
The printer began depositing a colored stripe at the top and bottom of my photos (portrait orientation). And, horizontal streaking began appearing evenly spaced from top to bottom.
I called Epson tech support. The techie put me through many troubleshooting steps. The nozzle check pattern was fine, so she had me print using Photoshop Elements 7 and using Windows Picture Viewer. Both prints had the same issues - horizontal striping from top to bottom and wider stripes at the top of the page and bottom. She concluded that the problem is Elements!
Can anyone shed light on how Elements 7 could be the culprit and what I can do to fix it. I love the printer and Elements but I cannot continue throwing money at paper and ink to test the printer.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks for the suggestion about getting a new printer. I had hoped that Epson would be able to tell me if my printer is toast and send me off shopping. But, they have not been so helpful.
If you have any suggestions, I am all ears. I have been trying to decide whether to purchase a printer that uses pigment inks or purchase one that uses dye inks. My Epson Stylus Photo R280 uses dye inks and recipients of my photos are in awe of the quality. I have limited experience with the new printers of today. The Canon Pixma MG 5420 does a nice job but it's prints are not as vibrant as the Epson that is dying (or dead). The Canon uses pigment inks (Magenta, Yellow, Cyan, Black and Photo Black).

Officejet Pro 8625 Photo print colors not matching monitor!

I just purchased this Officejet Pro 8625 yesterday and while I love many of it's features, I noticed that when printing photos the prints come out very dark and even a bit 'muddy" ie they not only do not match what I see on my Samsung monitor, but they are not really even close. I have used an HP officejet 7310xi for many years...and photos printed from that have been nearly always true to the original photo files/monitor appearance.
I have already run all the printing tests, and they all actually look fine other than Test #1 from the Print Diagnostic page...so calibrated the linefeed. The print heads are clean, etc. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support early this morning and no resolution...so I am at a loss here as to why the color is so off. The tech told me that the ink cartridges that come with the printer might be the issue, but I don't understand why that would be the case if it's authentic HP ink.
I am using good glossy photo paper and have tried several settings, and printing from both within Photoshop Elements 11 with the RGB color settings, and from PSP 9, as well as without going through any editing program. Nothing has helped.
Before I give up and return this printer (because while I need it for faxing and other functions, I also need photo prints that at least come close to what my monitor shows), I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas.
The tech and I did download the most recent drivers/software from the HP website as the software on the included cd was actually not the most recent.
Thank you!

My suggestion about using the onboard USB is to rule out both the USB & WiFi ports.
If printing from the 8625 USB port produces the same results then you may have a defective printer.
Have you also tried printing a sample image that is not yours? (using the O/S image program)

Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

Prints too dark in elements, ok in easy photo print

Hi,
I have been treading around trying to find an answer to my question.
I´m using Epson PX720WD and Photoshop elements 10.
When I´m printing with the correct paper settings "premium glossy photo" in elements, my prints gets too dark. If I print them on normal paper and choose "plain paper" they seem better. And they are "perfect" if I print them in easy photo print - Epsons software.
I read that I have to calibrate my screen and all, but I edit my pictures in elements, save them and open in easy photo print they are ok. There must be a way around, that I don´t have to calibrate my screen.
Thank you in advance for answers.
Btw, I´m completly new to this, so please don´t use too complicated words:)
Brgds,
Cecilie

I found something that helped, I let the printer control the colors, and the pictures turned out like I wanted them.

You can try two different ways to print your photos as a document:
1) Download a trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI and you it as your printer. This creates a pdf file for you and you can just view the file on your screen or print it out using your printer;
2) Windows 7 comes with Microsoft XPS Document Writer. You can select it as your printer and save the file as a document by giving it a name;
Click on this this picture to get the idea:
Good luck.

Photo print like a pointillist painting.(Elements 9)

It seems that suddenly photos printed from Elements 9 either in Edit mode or Organize mode come out looking like a pointillist painting. I know that my HP photoprinter is not the culprit because it prints photos and text fine from Windows. I did not choose any special effects, brush strokes or filters. This did not happen in one session only. I have not been able to print through Elements 9 for weeks. Can't find an answer on the web or in Help.
Any comments/help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I am thinking of erasing the program and reloading it?
Before you do that, you could try resetting the preferences to defaults by using this technique:
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f626a494c12e28b3ab58- 7fe2.html>
If thios doesn't work, then try to rename the PSE settings folder to something else. The folder is at this link in Windows 7:
<C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\10.0>
Change 10.0 to 10.0(0ld). Also, username = YOUR OWN USERNAME
It is worth a try but if it doesn't work then you can al;ways rename the folder back to 10.0 and so nothing is lost!!
You could also go to the folder 10.0 and see if you can identify something from the name and change just that folder name so that it is reset when you start PSE again.
PLEASE NOTE: YOU SHOULD BE DOING ALL THIS WHILE PSE IS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY OTHERWISE YOU WILL CORRUPT EVERYTHING.
I am told that reinstalling PSE does not necessarily reset the preferences unless you manually delete the folders as well. This is not an easy thing to do because these are all over the place including in the Windows Registry.

How do I move Elements 11 photos and catalogue from iMac to new iMac both running Yosemite?

I've been researching best way to move my photos and catalogue from my current iMac to my new iMac. I'm using Elements 11. Both iMacs running Yosemite. I know I need to deactivate the current computer's version of Elements if putting it on the new one runs me over the license limit - I don't think it will. I have read enough to be pretty sure I have to NOT migrate the Elements 11 program to the new iMac because it won't work properly - I'll have to reinstall it from my installation disc on the new iMac. So far, so good.
Now, I want the easiest way to get the photos on the new iMac, in the same folders, and preserve the catalogue and my current ratings on the photos. I am unclear on how the catalogue works with its backup and restore function. Should I move all my photos in their folders in exactly the same locations on my new iMac before installing Elements and trying to restore the catalogue? I read about the ways to restore the catalogue and I am unsure about whether it just looks for the pictures in the places it expects to find them (which will be the same if I copy everything on to the new iMac first), or whether it restores the pictures where it thinks they should be (in which case I should NOT put the pictures on the new iMac before restoring the catalogue or I'll end up duplicating everything). Also I have read - and been confused by - the options about restoring catalogue in new location, old location, etc. I don't want my folders changed. I have my pictures stored where I want them and I want to keep them there - and I'd prefer not to add some extra layer under the basic My Pictures on my iMac.
I have stored the most recent version of the catalogue, with all photos reconnected, on an external drive. All the pictures in the catalogue have their meta-data associated with them. I hope that this will allow me to preserve ratings. Going through thousands of pictures to find the really good ones again is a time-consuming mess. When I went from Windows to Mac 3 years ago - I lost the catalogue and all ratings. When I upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 11, I lost the catalogue and all ratings. I do NOT want to ever go through that again.

I appreciate your answer and agree that it is correct, but you told me nothing I did not know. There is an Elements technical paper which says this in much greater detail, but still does not answer the questions I was trying to ask.
The catalogue file seems much too small to include my thousands of photos. Are you telling me that it has magically reduced the size of all those photos - from 64 GB to 33 GB, and added the catalogue information - so that the photos will just appear out of nothing but that smaller catalogue file when I restore catalogue? If so, will you explain the options of same location, new location, new location with existing file structure, etc?
I understand installing the program. I understand that I should backup the catalogue (I've done it). I understand I will use restore to restore the catalogue. I found all this on other sites. I need someone, somewhere, to explain to me if I need to copy the photos themselves to their new location before I restore catalogue - or not. And which option in restore to use. I thought I explained this in my original question. Any help on these questions about matters I do not understand will be appreciated.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor. I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac). When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto). That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS. I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare. They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer. BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc. I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

HP z6100 Photo prints are too dark and magenta density is too high, etc...

Hi,
Here's the problem. I am having digital portrait photos printed at 20" by 26" in. for wall displays on an HP Z6100 designjet using universal adhesive vinyl. The test prints came back dark and with strongly pronounced magenta and red in the skin tones. I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with:
1. Is universal vinyl really the best print medium for this or would some photographic paper like luster or matte yield better results?
2. I am not in control of the printing process itself, but would providing the ICC profile for the printer/paper combination make a difference in correcting this issue?
3. The images are jpegs and the color space is sRGB. Should I convert them to CMYK for better results?
4. Any other suggestions please.
Thanks for any help.
