Epson Picturemate Sizing

Go easy on me guys, I'm new to Macs. I'm trying to print from iPhoto to my Epson Picturemate. I'm getting 1/4 of the picture on the 4x6 paper. How do I force iPhoto to resize the photo for 4x6 paper? Thanks in advance!

shumes:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To crop a photo to 4x6 in iPhoto bring it up in the edit window (double clicking on the photo is the default). Then in the edit window select 4x6 in the Constrain menu. A portion of the image will be whited out so to speak. If you want portrait go back to the Constrain menu and select Portrait at the bottom. Now you can drag the cursor over that part of the image you want to print and the rest will show pale. Now click on the crop button at the bottom and then on the Done button. Next follow these steps:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
2 - in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
6 - click on the Print button.
That should get you the 4x6 on the paper. I use an Epson R200 and am assuming the Picturemate would the same workflow. Good luck.

  • ILife won't Print to Epson PictureMate

    I just love iPhoto, but I can't get it to print to my Epson PictureMate. The PictureMate prints from memoery cards and will print a nozzle check from the iMac, but it goes through the motions of printing then indicates that it is 'Stopped'. The primter icon in the Dock shows a red exclamation mark!

  • Printing Problem With Epson PictureMate PM240

    I use an Epson PictureMate PM240 to print 4x6 proofs from negatives and slides scanned using a Nikon Coolscan V ED. So far, even without calibration, the prints I get using Photoshop Elements 5 (and previously 3.0) have been good enough. I understand that the PictureMate is not exactly a pro printer, but I like its small size and output for what I need it for.
    I recently loaded Lightroom 1.1 for a 30 day trial. I like the idea of getting DNG files from Vuescan for a touch of processing in lightroom without having to save the files. I also love the user interface and workflow. However, for some reason, I cannot get a decent print to the PictureMate from Lightroom. I can use the same DNG file in PSE 5.0 and get a print close to what I see on my monitor. I can actually use the same file and print it directly off the PictureMate (by inserting the memory card into the PictureMate media reader) and get prints much closer to my monitor than from Lightroom. I tried for days and wasted lots of paper but I cannot get Lightroom to print like PSE/Photoshop/PictureMate(direct).
    Is this the case where Lightroom needs a special printer profile? I don't have any for the PictureMate and my monitor is not calibrated. Still, I cannot understand why I can get good prints from PSE and (Photoshop CS3, at least the trial beta version) but not Lightroom. You would think the printing would be the same in Lightroom and Photosho/PSE as they are from the same company.
    Any ideas?

    Boy Patrick, no response at all after 2 days... I'll chime in here.
    Printing to this printer from lightroom (LR) probably will not work. To print from LR you need have a printer that will allow the application to control the color management. The PM240 does not have this capability. You are probably wondering why you cannot let the printer manage the colors just like the other apps you mention. The reason being that the operating color space of LR is the very large ProPhotoRGB, and your printer is more than likely expecting a sRGB color space, a very common yet smaller color space. Reading a ProPhotoRGB image as if it is a sRGB will result in the dark muddy image that you see complained about in this forum very often.
    If you want to use this printer and use LR to manage your images. After doing any editing that you like in LR. Export the images in sRGB format and load them onto a memory card. Then print directly from the card, a neat feature of your printer.
    Good Luck.

  • How do I get accurate color when printing from PS6 to an Epson PictureMate printer?

    I am trying to print from Photoshop CS6 to an Epson PictureMate color printer and an Epson PictureMate 225 printer.  In both cases I want to let Photoshop manage color.  I am finding no color profile for Epson in the list of profiles provided by Photoshop.  The best I can do is choose “display” as my profile.  Still my color prints do not match what I see on my screen in Photoshop. They are flat and washed out.   How can I obtain print profiles for my Epson Printers to be used with Photoshop 6?

    Epson would have to provide generic profiles. Check their website. Other than that simply let the printer (driver) manage things and only work in sRGB with monitor calibration. Most printer drivers for consumer devices are built around that assumption and will produce reasonably good results using their driver's logic.

  • Epson PictureMate Shows "Stopped" After Last Java and Security Updates

    Hi,
    After installing the following updates ("Final Cut Pro Update" (5.1.3), "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5" (5.0), "Security Update 2007-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0), "Security Update 2007-001" (1.0) and "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)). My Epson PictureMate started showing the dreaded "Printer Stopped" issue noted y many other on many other printers.
    I've tried the Printer Setup Utility "reset printing system", removing and adding back the printer etc. The Epson Photo 820 still works fine. The PictureMate will also work fine from any other account. The account I'm using it in is not an admin acocunt, but a Standard account. The other family accounts can also use the printer, so the issue is local to my 1 main user.
    I've downloaded and tried the "PSR" utility from www.fixamac.com. The utility doesn't find anything wrong, but it does complain about CUPS permissions (as did Apple's Disk Utility). I'm thinking the resetting of the printer system deletes a number of directories and when they are recreated they seem to come back with permissions the system (and PSR) doesn't like. Both utilities repair and don't find the issues again, but no joy on the printing.
    I've also dumped the preferences with no change.
    Since other users can print fine, I'm assuming CUPS and the printer drivers are OK. Any idea what other secret files in my User folder could be messed up and affecting the single printer?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Bluetooth and Epson PictureMate

    I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to see if the Epson Picture Mate printer worked on a Mac using Bluetooth. I have purchased a new Picture Mate and would like to know your experience using one of these with Bluetooth prior to making the investment for their Bluetooth adapter.

    The Picture Mate works just fine on a M ..
    Works very well too.

  • Epson PictureMate Deluxe and Mavericks

    Mid-2009 Intel Mac recently reformatted with a clean new Mavericks from a USB based installer does not show Epson PictureMate Drivers available either in the Printer System Preferences or in Software Update.  This installation of Mavericks has been troublesome from the start, and this is yet another in a long line of issues.  (Finder disappearing and restarting, Safari crashing, etc...).  This is the THIRD reinstallation of Mavericks and it looks to be more stable, but the Printer Drivers are missing.  Oddly, in one of my previous attempts to isntall Mavericks, the Printer installation process worked perfectly.
    Also, my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro which was gracefully upgraded from a Mountain Lion (10.8) has been bullet proof and rock solid.
    Any idea how I can jiggle this iMac to recognize it needs to download and install the Epson print drivers to make the PictureMate work?

    I resolved this myself by connecting the printer to a USB port, then running a reinstallation of Mavericks over the existing installation.  This time the software was properly installed, and its newer version properly showed up in the Software update.

  • Epson PictureMate and AE

    I'm trying to get my Epson PictureMate to print with the AE and also have tried connecting directly via usb connection to our iMAC/G5. Print Setup Utility (OSX 10.4.11) finds the printer and then I select "Epson" but then I get a list of Epson "gimp" drivers for Epson CL/EM/MC/MJ/PM/Stylus. Does anybody have any idea which driver to select?

  • Epson PictureMate and LR - colors are way off

    Have the original 'toaster' PictureMate on Vista. The drivers are built-in and Epson's site doesn't have Vista-centric drivers for it, so I am good there I guess.
    In the LR Print module I am able to choose the printer and adjust the properties of the printer through the printer driver/windows dialog boxes but cannot see where to turn off color-management. Leaving LR with 'let printer manage colors' just gives me muted, gray colors.
    If I use LR to choose a profile just brings up an empty dialog box... so obviously there are not any profiles loaded with the driver?
    Looked online for Profiles and couldn't find any.
    Does anyone have any idea on how to disable printer managed colors OR how to get a profile for the PictureMate series?
    Resorted to exporting and printing from Windows Photo Gallery which works, but extra steps...

    Have you removed the print cartridges and cleaned the contacts both on the catridges and were they sit i the printer with a lint free cloth and some bottled water? If you have and that does not help the issue it would be time to upgrade that printer.

  • Epson Picturemate - UK power block info needed

    I bought a Picturemate from the online AppleStore when in California in April. I just tried to use it for the first time, now in the UK and after one print it failed.
    It seems that the power block is not a universal one (ie 100-120 OR 240 volts) and is US only - ie 100-120 volts, hence has broken. (The Applestore assured me it would work OK in either the US or UK, so I'm not happy about this. Also, it seems the only recourse is to ring the US Applestore and complain, but then all they would do - if anything- is replace with another US power block).
    Anyone here have the UK version? I need to know the power output specified on the UK power transformer, so I'll know whether this would work with my printer if I purchased one direct from Epson in the UK.
    Thanks,

  • Printing to an Epson Picturemate

    Aperture prints wonderfully to my 2400, though I usually print to that printer from Photoshop. I'd really like to use Aperture, though, to dash off some quick 4x6s to the Picturemate.
    Problem is, the bottom and left sides of the prints are white. In other words, it looks like Aperture is just shifting the whole picture up and to the right. I've "calibrated" the print area, but even at the lower-most and left-most settings, I get the white borders.
    Anyone have any luck printing to a Picturemate?
    I should note that this is with the first 30-day demo that came out, which I believe is 1.5. My paid-for copy will be here tomorrow. Maybe 1.5.2 addresses this problem?
    Thanks.

    I struggled with this for quite a while. Here's a solution:
    After selecting "Print Image," from Aperture's menu, click the "Printer Settings" button and choose PictureMate. There should be a pull-down bar that says "Layout." Click on this bar and select "Paper Handling." You should see an area where you can select your destination paper size. Click the button that says "Scale to fit paper size" and choose 4x6 borderless. (I saved this setting as a preset, naming mine "PictureMate.") Click "Done" after this.
    Now select 4x6 borderless in the paper size pull-down bar in Aperture's print dialog box. I also choose "Scale to fill entire page" under layout options.
    This should get you a great borderless print.

  • Missing Driver for Epson PictureMate 500

    Can someone help me? I've recently crossed over from Windows and while delighted I made the move I still can't print my photos. I've gone onto the EPSON website, downloaded the correct installer (epson11775.dmg) and run it. But when I then connect the printer and run iPhoto it can't find the correct printer driver. I'm looking under EPSON, Epson PM... but "Epson PM 500" isn't there? What am I doing wrong - where can I locate the driver that the installation software installed?

    Hi Jamie
    It's not often you even need to install a driver for Mac.
    Normal procedure is, physically connect the printer to the USB port, switch it on.
    Open Printer Setup Utility (found in Applications/Utilities), click Add
    You are then shown the Printer already selected, and the driver for it that came with the Mac is automatically loaded. Press OK and you're done.
    That's what I would have done first. However to again install the driver, which would be updating the existing one, one just double clicks on the epson28087eu.sit package, which will open and run an installer which will install the driver files to their correct locations. You don't have to manually place them anywhere.
    So the question is, can Printer Setup Utility see your printer when you click Add? If not you may have to select from there, in one of the dialogue boxes and select 'USB'.

  • Printing Problems with Picturemate

    Hi,
    has anyone ever printed on the Epson PictureMate?
    I just can´t get it to go. Not with a single print or with anything else. The printer works fine in PS CS2.
    Any idea??
    Help appreciated

    Just to let you know,I'm having the same problem,I contacted Epson support and thy sent me a procedure to remove and install a updated driver,but it did not help me with the Picturemate printing from iphoto 6, so what I figure is that its a iphoto problem, I can ptint from any other app. and even dragged a photo
    from iphoto and put a copy an the desktop and was able to print it on the Picturemate. Maybe there is someone out there that has the answer or fix.
