Experts? Colors completely off when printing images edited in LR-Help, Please!

I have one week left to get ready for a show that I have already dumped 3,000 worth of supplies into, but now that I'm ready to print, and I've imported and edited everything in my new trial of Light Room, my prints are completely off from my images. Even the photos that I originally started in Photoshop and then adjusted in LR are next to impossible to adjust to correction range.
I've been lurking here and on other forums for the past few days trying to solve my problem, but to no avail. I see similar problems, especially with MACs, but I finally brought a pc in and hooked it up to my Epson 4000, and it still makes no difference. I've tried to adjust my settings correctly, but my color profiles must be off.
Sure hope someone out there can help. My most recent expediture was all new ink cartridges, thinking this was the problem. Another 500.00 and over 100 bad prints later I'm begging for mercy.
Thanks so much.

Here is a Histogram of you image. Do you really want it to print this dark? Or is it just the colors that are off? Of course I have no idea how you want it to look.
I would suggest download a know good test image and see how it looks on you screen and also how it prints. That will give you the best idea of where you are going wrong.
Here is a good link to test images. http://canonipf.wikispaces.com/Evaluation+Images

HP Photosmart 7200 Colors are Wrong When Printing on Photo Paper

I'm running Windows 7 and am having a problem when printing on photo paper. The colors are off; mainly green. The colors are fine when printing on plain paper. I have tried printing from my computer as well as straight from the media card. Same result. I am also using HP Photo Premium glossy paper. Print cartridges are brand new and are loaded correctly.
Any solutions or troubleshooting tips I can try?

Hi @Vay725,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that the colors are wrong when printing on photo paper! I am happy to help you with this print quality issue!

I have been having issues with not receiving texts and voicemails daily, for a few months now. If I turn the phone completely off, when I turn it back on the messages will flood in from hours before. I can't be continually turning off my phone in case someone left me a message. How do I resolve this issue?

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

Hello,
     I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
     Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
     It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
     Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

Color profile off when importing motion proj into FCP

Color profile off when importing motion proj into FCP. Is there a way to set the profile?
I deleted preferences in FCP.

No, profile do many things. It is a color space. It allows different apps and systems to view colors the same. Also fcp typically works in a tub color space not rgb.

Highlighter colors look muddy when printed from Acrobat 8, X, and Reader XI to Xerox WC7775, 7665

Highlighter colors look muddy when printed to Xerox WC7775, 7665(applies to Acrobat 8 Std, Acrobat X Std, Reader XI). I tried the latest PS and PCL6 drivers from xerox.com. How can I troubleshoot / fix this so highlighter colors look bright when printed?
When printing highlighted text from other applications (like Word) from the same computers to the same printers, the highlighter color is bright. Users print PDFs for distribution to clients so they would like the printed documents to look good.
Thanks

I have tried the WCS sRGB, scRGB and ICC U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color profiles. sRGB and scRGB are very slightly brighter than the default and SWOP but still much more muddy than the bright yellow from a Word document. I just started digging in to this today so any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

HT1338 I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive? It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i.
Click to view full size
If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Colors off when printing on Epson printer from Indesign

I'm new to Indesign. I'm a photographer trying to print a booklet for a handmade book.
My question is about preparing photographic images for use in Indesign.
I have JPEGS, saved as RGB files at 300DPI. I'm printing on an Epson R2000 using a custom paper and custom ICC profile. In my Color Management dialog I have Let Indesign handle colors and the correct printer profile selected. Output color is Composite RGB. The colors are really off so obviously I'm doing something wrong. I'm no expert so any advice much appreciated!

Hi - I disabled the custom profile for my Moab paper and whilst the green hue is gone, the colors are dull. My question is should I save my images in Photoshop to CMYK? As opposed to RGB?
Should I change the color profile assigned to Indesign to Adobe RGB? This was the original color profile of the image in Photoshop.

Color off when printing from iPhoto if photo was scanned in.

When I scan a photo to a file or into an application and try to print from iPhoto, the colors are off. Usually darker than they appear in the photo. If I do a direct print from the scanner to the printer the colors look normal (OK). Any idea if there is some type of adjustment for this?

What color profile do the pics have? Is the printer set to the same profile?
Regards

Color off when printing

I have been having issues with getting the color to print correctly with our Brother HL-4070CDW ever since we updated to Leopard. I have spent time on the phone with mac and brother and no one seems to be able to help.
When I print our logo from either preview, adobe reader, or Microsoft publisher (through Parallels), the colors are off. They are darker than they are supposed to be (using Brother color). They are lighter than they are supposed to be (using Color Sync).
I have reinstalled the new driver from the Leopard CD Rom.
I have callibrated, cleaned etc the printer. The test page looks fine.
I have tried to use different profiles under the Color Sync option.
I can print to our HP Photosmart C3180 and the colors are accurate.
The problem is with pdfs, ai (which opens in preview), and jpegs. At least this is where I have noticed it the most.
Please help! We are the point of considering buying another printer, but I'm not even convinced that the printer itself is the problem.

I am having the same color problem with my HL-4070CDW. The printer is not at fault, so don't buy another. The cause of the trouble is the driver. Even the latest driver e-mailed to me from Brother technical support does not resolve the color management issue.
Their new driver resolved a problem I was having whereby paper was not being pulled from the second (optional) tray. But the color problem remains to be fixed at a later date.
I cannot wait weeks, months, or longer for a perfect driver to be written and distributed. The improvements in Leopard are nice, but if I cannot have perfect color output like I once did, then the new OS is worthless to me. I am going to wipe the hard drive soon and go back to using Tiger.

Print color way off when stamp applied

I've got a strange problem that occurs when printing documents with a stamp applied to them (ie: Draft). Printing to a Ricoh 550EX printer which has its own hardware based color profile, we have to select "Let Printer Determine Colors" to get normal (un-stamped) pdf documents to print with the appropriate colors. However even with the "Let printer determine colors" selected stamped documents print with off shaded colors. By off shaded I mean bright yellow is printed with a green hue.
It is as if the adobe is ignoring tha switch when printing stamped documents. Anyone have any advice on how to correct this?
Problem appears in both Adobe Acrobat 9 and X. Printing to printers that do not have their own HW based color profiles works perfectly, so it seems adobe is not playing nice with the HW color profile. All other apps can print to the Ricoh without issue.
Thanks

You must be thinking about video card drivers on the Mac. Those are indeed supplied by Apple. But printer drivers are the responsibility of each individual user.
