Expert printing advice needed!

OK - Color Management sucks -
I have a calibrated monitor with D65, Gamma 2.2.
I use Solex Task lamp to review/proof prints.
I print on a HP B9180 from LR v1.1 on OSX.
I have produced excellent prints on occasions and it looks great on a few select papers i tried and like - Somerset Velvet, HP Hahnemuhle Fine Art Satin, HP Advanced Glossy etc.
The problem seems to be this image -
http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/onblack.php?id=761745042&size=large&posted=1
If i use LR and print on any of the matt/photo rag papers, it comes out like crap. I think the reason may be due to the paper gamut not sufficient to handle the color space (Application Managed with specific profile selected)
If i use the Glossy - the colors are off - the prints come out dark (same LR settings as before)
If i use Colorsync and/or Preview application to print in AdobeRGB color profile (from print settings) - the image prints SPOT on! - this however is not usable due to borders etc...
Can anyone help me figure out what the problem may be? Why doesn't LR print right here...(Yes, i even tried selecting AdobeRGB in the print settings on LR...it still doesn't get it right).

looks like everybody is on the same boat :)

  • Printer advice needed

    I am about to upgrade to iPhoto 6.
    I have been using a Canon i850 which initially produced some great photos. However, recently it has started to create lines across the width (the direction that the print heads move) of the prints. The effect it to make the print look as though it's printed on laid paper.
    I have always used Canon paper and ink. Cleaning the print heads and realigning has not made a difference. I can only think that the printer's mechanism that moves the paper through the machine is slightly faulty and therefore needs to be replaced. Not a major deal - the printer is over 3 years old and wasn't too expensive.
    Which leads me to my question:
    Just which printer would you folk recommend? They seem so cheap these days that I find it hard to understand how a printer for approx £150 can produce such good results, even though I know they can! Of course the manufacturers get more money off you when you buy your inks (I wouldn't use generic inks for photos).
    I like Canon as Apple seems to like them, but historically I have found it more difficult to find shops that stock a decent selection of Canon paper. Happy to search oout the paper if a Canon printer is the way forward though. Oh, and ideally I'd like to be able to print onto CDs/DVDs. Supposedly I shouldn't have to pay more than £100-£150.
    Many thanks in advance

    TWH3:
    I got an Epson R200 for printing on CD/DVDs and couldn't be happier. It also put out better photos than my Canon i850. I understand Canon makes a printer available in Europe that will print CD/DVDs. I don't think you can go wrong eith either a Canon or Epson with the CD/DVD capabilities. The Epson printer with R in the model designation are those that will print on disks. Also I'd recommend picking one with 5 or 6 ink cartridges over those with just 3 color and black.

    Hi Mohammed,
    The Deskjet 4620 Series supports wireless printing and ePrint, it is listed as the Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625 in the list above.
    If the pritner is not yet connected to your wireless network, follow the steps below to configure it by using WPS if your router supports that, otherwise it will require a computer to connect it to your wireless network:

  • Advice needed on buying iphone as gift

    I went to apple store, they do not want to sell iphone to me unless I sign AT&T 2 years plan. I thought AT&T has locked the phone and users must subscribe in order to use it. Why Apple store still not allow me to buy?
    Please advice, if I want to buy online iphone for my brother, do I or my brother have obligation to sign out AT&T plan?
    One more advice needed, I found the shipment takes weeks, do I have option to arrange for self-collection?
    My brother birthday is coming soon, I need above advice urgently.
    Thank you very much

    Well that's not entirely true.
    Apple Stores have been instructed not to sell you an iPhone if any of the following is true:
    • You state that you will not be signing up with AT&T.
    • You do not have an ID from a US state, also indicating you will not be activating with AT&T
    • You do not have a credit card
    For example, I've seen US Apple Store managers refuse to sell iPhones to European residents because of the AT&T lock-in.

  • Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed

    Hi everyone,
    I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
    I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
    I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.

    I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
    Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
    Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
    Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
    Throw in 8GB RAM.
    Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
    Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
    Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
    Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro.

  • Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....advice needed!

    Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....have now lost all my music from my itunes, but I can't transfer back on from my ipod. Also had to register my laptop (same) as another computers, so now no music showing as purchased, though I have. Also have hours of uploaded music from my own purchased, legitimate CDs, but won't transfer from ipod...it says it will erase. So very frustrated....thanks mr technician!    PLEASE  ....help, advice needed!

    I believe that if you do a clean reinstall from your HD's recovery sector (D) or Recovery disks, the hard drive sector C is wiped clean. Everything goes, apps, data, address books, music, pix, viruses
    Is that what you did?

    Hi
    That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
    Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
    I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
    Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
    The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
    Hope that helps
    Paul
    PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
    after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
    You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

  • PDF Printing Help Needed

    I have a Windows pc only for 1 thing - printing pdfs. My problem is that Windows printer drivers allow me to have auto select paper size/tray depending on if the pdf page is standard or legal. I have not yet found anyway to do this through the mac.
    I have a Brother HD-5370 laser printer and need some assistance with the paper auto select. If any one has any suggestions or an actual fix, I am all eras.
    Thank You,
    Dan

    Dan231,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    We are willing to help however we need you to complete your Public Profile (look to your right) so we can tell what computer you have, the version of OS X, how much RAM etc. Also letting us know where you are located could help in future posts.
    Most printing issues are handled in the Printing forums. Each version of OS X has it's own printing forum. For example if you use Snow Leopard (10.6) then that forum is located at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1344
    However let me try and take a stab at your problem. I am guessing you are using Preview to print the PDFs so let's start there. When you print (Command-P) the printing box will appear, look under the Orientation and right below that it will probably default to Preview. Click that radio and choose paper handling to see if your printer offers more choices. You can also run Software Update to see if you have the most up-to-date drivers and retry.
    Hope this starts to give you some direction.

  • Need Expert's Advice - How to use LabView Efficiently and to increase Readability

    My application is fairly complex. It is a real world testing applications that simultaneously controls 16 servo motors running various stress testing routines asynchronously and all at the same time. The application includes queues, state machines, sub VI's, dynamically launched VI's, subpanels, semaphores, XML files, ini files, global variables, shared variables, physical analog and digital interfaces and industrial networking. Just about every technique and trick that LabView 2010 has to offer and the kitchen sink as well.
    Still I am not happy with the productivity that LabVIEW 2010 has provided, nor the readability of my final product.
    Sometimes there are too many wires. Much of my state machines have a dozen or more wires just going from input to output, doing nothing, just because one or two states in the machine need that variable in some state. Yeah, I could spend alot of time bundling and unbundling and rebundling those values, but I don't think that would improve things much.
    We have had a long discussion about the use or misuse of Local variables in this forum and I don't want to repeat that here. I use them sparingly where I think it is relatively safe to do so. I also have a bug whenever I try and copy some code that contains one or more local variables. On Pasting the code with local variables, the result is something other than what I expected, I am not sure what. I have to undo the paste and rebuild the code one object at a time.
    I am also having trouble using trouble using Variable Property Nodes. When I cut and paste them, they often loose their reference object and I have to go back into the code and redo the Link To on each one. That wastes alot of time and effort.
    Creating subVIs is often not appropriate when the code makes many references to objects on the Front Panel. Some simple code will turn into a bunch of object references and dereferences which also tends to take alot of work to clean up and often does not help overall readability in many cases. I use subVIs when appropriate, but because of the interface overhead, not as often as I would like to. My application already has over 150 sub VIs.
    The LabView Clean Up Diagram function often works poorly. It leaves way too much empty space between objects, making my diagrams 3 to 4 24" screens wide. That is way too much and difficult to navigate effectively. The Clean Up function puts objects in strange places relative to other objects used nearby. It does a poor job routing wires and often makes deciphering diagrams more difficult rather than easier.
    My troubleshooting strategies don't work well for large diagrams and complex applications. The diagrams are so complex that execution highlighting may take 20 minutes for a single pass. Probes help, but breakpoint aren't of much use, because single stepping afterwards often takes you to somewhere else in the same diagram. I can't follow the logic well doing this.
    Using structures, I may have Case structures nested 5 to 10 levels deep inside some Event Structure inside a While Loop. Difficult to work with and not very readable.
    All and all, I can make it work, but I am not happy about the end result.
    I am hoping to benefit from some expert advice from those that are experienced in producing large complex applications efficiently, debugging efficiently and producing readable diagrams that they are proud of.
    Can anyone offer their advice on how best to use the LabView features to achieve these results in complex applications? I hope that you can help show me the light.

    I'm not an expert but I'm charged out as one at work.
    I am off today so I'll share some thoughts that may help or possibly inspire others to chime. I have tried to continually improve my code in those areas and would greatly welcome others sharing their approaches and insights.
    Note:
    I do refactoring services to help customers with this situation. What I will write does not represent what we do in a code review since our final delverable is a complete final design and that is beyond the scope of this reply.

    In software, we plant our foot when we turn from the design to the development. I have to admit that there where a couple of times when I moved from design to development too early and found myself in a situation like you have described.
    How to know when design is done?

    Anytime I see multiple "variations on a theme", I think LVOOP (LabVIEW OOP ) . I'll spare you the LVOOP sales pitch but will testify that once you get your first class cloned off and running as a sibling (or child) you'll appreciate how nice it is to be able to use LVOOP.
    Discalimer:
    If you don't already have an OOP frame of mind, the learning curve will be steep.

     Full disclaimer:
    I used to be of the same opinion and even used performance arguements to make my point. I have since, changed my mind.
    Let me illustrate (hopefully). This link (if it works for you, use lefthand pane to navigate hierachy) shows an app I wrote from about 10 years ago when I was in my early days of routing wires. Even the "Main" VI started to suffer from too many wires as this preview from that links shows.
    Clustering related data values using Type Definitions   is the first method I would would urge. This makes it easier to find the VIs that use the Type def via the browse relationships>>>callers. If I implement my code correctly, any problem I believe is associated with a particualr piece of data that is a Type def has to be in one of the VIs that use that type def therefore easier to maintain.
    When I wrote "related data" I am refering data normalization rules (which my wife knows and I picked-up from her and I claim no expertise in this area) where only values that are used together are grouped. E.G. Cluster named File contains "Path" and "Refnum" but not "PhaseOfMoon". This works out nicely with first creating sub-VI since all of the data related to file operations are right there whe I need it and it leads into the next concept ...
    When I look at a value in a shift register on the diagram taking up space that is only used in a small sub-set of states, I concider using an Action Engine . This moves the wire from the current diagram into the Action Engine (AE), and cleans up the diagram. The AE brings with it built-in protection so provided I keep all of the opearations related to the the Type def inside the AE I am protected when I start using multiple threads that need at that data (trust me, it may not make a difference now but end users are clever). So that extra wire is effective encapsualted and abstracted away from the diagram you are looking at.
    But I said earlier that I would not sell LVOOP so I'll show you what LVOOP based LV apps look like to contrast what I was doing ten years ago in that earlier link. This is what the top level VI looks like.
     And this is the Analysis mode of that app.
    I suspose I should not mention that LVOOP has wizards that automatically create the sub-VI (accessors) that bundle/unbundle the clusters, should I?
    Continuing...

    "Back in the day..." LV would not even try to create a sub-VI that involved controls/indicators. I use sub-VIs to maintain a common GUI often but I do it on purpose and when I find myself creating a sub-VI that involves a control/indicator, I hit ctrl-z immediately! 
    I figure a way around it (AE ?) and then do the sub-VI.
    Judging by your brief explanation and assuming you do a LVOOP implementation, I would estimate that app need 750-1500 VIs.

    THe clean-up works fine for how I use it. After throwing together "scratch code" and debugging the "rats nest" I'll hit clean-up as a first step.

    Good deisgn and modualr implementaion led to smaller diagrams that just don't need thrre screens.

  • Please Help Experts Advice Needed

    I just bought ram memory, specifications (1024mb pc3200 400mhz ddr ram). When I installed the memory and powered up all I got was a beep sound and nothing else. Before I complain to the seller I need advice from any experts in this subject to tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it. I replaced the memory that came with the mac mini which is 256mb of ram but had to place it back in to work with my computer to find a solution to this problem. I read in mac addict that anything above pc2700 ram would be compatible with the mac mini. I have a mac mini 1.42ghz powerpc g4 any help will be appreciated.
    thank u in advance for any help

    Sadly, just because it's in spec, doesn't mean it will work.
    Macs are EXTREMELY picky on RAM. The RAM itself may be good, but not compatible.

  • CN216B B210a printer. Replacemen​t ink pad advice needed.

    Hi Everyone. Apologies if this question has already been asked and answered but I'm new to this forum.
    I have a 12 month old HP Photosmart B210a (CN216B) printer. The ink overflow pads in the base are quite full. I need to remove them and either clean or replace them.

  • HP Officejet 4355 Printer suddenly start printing very slow! HP technician advice needed!

    Hi,
     My HP Officejet 4355 All-in-One Printer suddenly start printing very very slow! I've had it for 4+ years and by God it never ever gave me any problems (maybe minor once, but never actually drove me crazy), considering that i used it very often at home and in the office. I always buy original HP ink cartridge (except that once, when i wanted to see how the refill works - it doesn't), and now latest cartridge has been in the printer for a month or two, nothing unusual, and suddenly my printer starts to print very very slow, if normally it took 10-15 sec for a black and white page, now it take 10-15 minutes! Could anybody suggest help?
     Please do not talk about computer/Windows/USB settings, they all work fine. I disconnected printer from PC and did "Align Print Cartridge". First step, the printed part, took 10 minutes, second step, scanning part, did not go through. It said printer can't allocate aligning page...
     By the way, i did look around for the answers and found that some people say it's a ink cartridge fault. But i used this cartridge for a few months now, it's almost, but not yet finished, it was printing perfectly so far. Printouts during this issue come out OK, 7 out of 10.
     Anybody have any ideas? If I could attract professional help of HP technicians, it would be perfect.
    Thank you.

    Even though they still have ink a cartridge may fail and give the results you are seeing, where the printer makes a swath and then waits 10-15 seconds for the next swath. This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Removing each cartridge and cleaning the contacts on the cartridge and printer may resolve the issue.  
    I do not recall if the Officejet 4355 supports reserve mode, but try the following:  Remove the black cartridge and print a test page.  Does the printer print at normal speed?  Is so the black cartridge was the issue and should be replaced.  If not then put the black cartridge back in and remove the color cartridge and print test page.  If the printer now prints normal speed the color cartridge was at fault and needs to be replaced.
