Faint grey border when printing on roll paper in Photoshop CS5

When I print in Photoshop CS5 on roll paper, there is a faint grey border that prints all around my image. I haven't created a grey border in my files. Does anyone know what setting is creating this or what's going on? And how i can stop it?
Thanks!

Also, just did this test:
I used all of my old settings:
Roll Paper selected
Ultra Prem. Photo paper luster
Super 2880 dpi
no high speed
And then I used the old paper profile for ilford gallerie smooth pearl. (I used this even though I'm currently printing on Ilford Prestige paper.)
And it came out with NO faint grey Border!
Then I tried it with all of those same settings, except I used the older profile for Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl for the ROLL paper (IGSPP11Roll_EPP4800_PSPPn.icc)
Then I got the grey border.
And finally just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I tried one more time:
All settings as above except I chose the GPSPP12_EPSpro4800_PSPPn
Which is the profile I downloaded to match the prestige paper.
And GREY BORDER!
So It seems like using the prestige profile was giving me the wash of grey. And also the roll paper version of the old gallerie smooth pearl also gave me a grey border.
But what should I do now? I want to use the proper paper profile so my colors and tones come out right. I don't feel comfortable just using the wrong paper profile just to stop the border.
On another note, I researched the Highlight Point shift (based on advice I heard from a friend) and that really sounded like what was causing it. However, I am not even seeing that on my printing options. I must be using a different driver or something. When I'm in photoshop, i just select "File - Print" and then go through that normal dialog. Is there some other way to print that gives me many more options?
Thanks to you all for your help so far.

Tweak color profile when printing on plain paper?

If Im unhappy with the colors when printing on plain paper, can it be changed?
..this is on a five cart Photosmart Premium c410a that uses 564 tanks.
In particular, yellow is too dark, a bit "orangy" and photos are a bit weird: sky looks slightly smoggy brown.
In other words my question is if its possible to tweak the color profile the HP driver uses when printing using plain paper -- for daily use.

Have you found a solution to this? I'm wondering if the same can be done for the photo prints as well...when I print photos, they turn out darker and have a purple-hue to them. Please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you.

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?

How to disable the printer's color management in Photoshop CS5 with Mavericks?

Hi there, does anyone know how to disable the printer's color management in Photoshop CS5 with Mavericks? There doesn't seem to be an option. Could you help? Many thanks

Just select Photoshop Manages Color, and the printer driver color options should be disabled.

Epson R3000 question. My issue is when I print on roll paper which is 13" wide, specifically custom sizes. Anyone else having an issue?

I can't seem to adjust my image size exactly what I want to print on my 13" roll paper. As an example, I have a panoramic photo that I wanted printed at 13" x 23" but the best I could custom size the print was 9" x 23". I didn't get any resolution yellow triangle errors, it just wouldn't let me get to those dimensions I wanted. I'm pretty new to all this so maybe I am doing something wrong. I have tried custom sizes, ICC profiles which I think more just for printing and color control. Any help would be appreciated.
By the way, the Epson R3000 is an awesome wide format printer if anyone was considering it.

I have tried cropping my photos in Aperture to the exact size I would like to print. I adjsuted paper size through custom dimensions, image size is either set to custom or roll paper. In the end it always seems to do whatever it wants. So I am wondering, am I asking Aperture and my printer driver to do something it can't do, therefore it restricts me? I bought this printer so I could print wide format images but they are too narrow. I don't want a 9" x23" image. I want a 13" by 27" image.
My other question is, I am shooting with a Nikon D90 12.6MP DSLR in RAW mode. Yet, when I try to get something to print like 13x24, I get the yellow triangle resolution error in Aperture. Apparently, the resolution isn't high enough, but it seems weird because my camera is taking inceredibly high resolution photos.

Print on ROLL PAPER

Hi All,
I am trying to build a program that prints receipts, and I am using a printer that uses roll paper (as most receipt printers do).
My problem is that the receipt paper height is not constant...it depinds on the number of items it contains.
How can I print a receipt with a different size each time!
Please Help,
Thanks,
RTGSH

Just a guess, but...
Probably use Paper class - set whatever size needed for "receipt"
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/print/Paper.html
and use PageFormat.setPaper()

How to manage colors when printing on colored paper?

I created a design with correct colors and of course when I do the "simulate colored paper" the colors are off (as expected), is there an easy way to alter the colors to match the original colors so that it prints correctly on the colored paper? I figured there might be a way to subtract the color of the paper from the object colors or something. Any workflow help is greatly appreciated!

Inks are transparent and the colours are subtractive, so I’m afraid that any amount of ‘correcting’ will never get you to where you want to go. The colours will always be tinted (or darkened) by the paper. However it may not be necessary to do anything. Take for example financial newspapers. They are often printed on pink paper yet after a time you start to stop noticing the pinkness and colour photos appear normal.

SWF grey border when exported

Can someone give me direction on how to take off or change the color of this border? I've opened up html file and can checnge the background color but nothing is there to change the grey border. Any help would be AWESOME!

That old eDocContainer was very simple and fast solution... and there is no feature for changing background.
Why don´t you just download free Trial of eDocker and make your project with eDocManager. Then you can change your background to what ever you like, even texture or photo.... You can download free trial at Adobe Marketplace and use it 3 days for free:

Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3). I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture". It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006. I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem. I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
Any help will be appreciated.

If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

Batch Printing with File Names in Photoshop CS5

How can I batch print hundreds of images with the file name on each of the print? I also need them to be printed at their original dimensions, which mean they should not be scaled when printed to papers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your response, Noel. However, the images to be printed at their actual dimensions and resolution (300ppi). This is so that we can see how their qualities are going to be when they are printed the actual publication, which is at 300ppi.
What I used to be able to do in CS3 is creating an action in Photoshop that contains a print command with "label" or file name option on. Then I ran the script through the batch command in Bridge. However, in CS5, when I tried to same method, all of the images are printed at 1/2 an inch while they are actually 3-5 inches at 300ppi. Therefore, I am trying to another method that would give me the same result.

Photoshop CS2 in Mac Snow Leopard: faint, pale colours when printed

I used to use Photoshop CS on my old PPC eMac with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger), and printed succesfully on good quality glossy photo paper using an Epson Stylus Photo R340 printer. I have now upgraded to an Intel Mac mini with OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). I am afraid I cannot afford to buy the latest version of Photoshop, so I have installed Parallels Desktop and, within it, Snow Leopard Server, so that I can run Photoshop CS2.
I have now got the correct driver for my printer and all the printer and paper profiles. Using exactly the same profile and other settings that I used to use with Photoshop CS on my old computer, when I printed a TIFF image, the results were a print with extremely pale, washed-out colours. When I used the 'Preview' feature of the printer software, the colours looked good, but when I printed they were hopeless.
I don't think it is the printer. If I set the Photoshop output to let the printer determine colours, I get quite good results. But when I switch to letting Photoshop determine colours, I get these impossibly pale colours. I have checked through all the preference settings of Photoshop CS2 and cannot find anything that might account for this misbehaviour. I should be most grateful for any help or advice.

Since posting the above, I have made a discovery. I looked up the system requirements of different versions of Photoshop. Here is the relevant part of Adobe's list:
This suggests that CS2 will not run in Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)! But it also suggests that CS will not run in Tiger (10.4), and I used CS succesfully for years in Tiger on my old PPC computer. So what does all this mean? Are these minimum requirements? In that case where can I find the upper limits? Is CS2 supposed to run properly in Snow Leopard?

Illustrations greyed-out when printing PDF file from Adobe Reader

Hello,
From within PageMaker 7 I've made a 52-page PDF document in Distiller (selected job option is for Print) and uploaded it to my website. It contains many greyscale illustrations (TIFs and JPGs first imported into PageMaker), and text. I am able to view the PDF file over the net, and can print the illustrations and text on each page with no problem. I am using an old HP laser printer (LaserJet 5L). Other users are able to view the same PDF document on the net, and they can see all the illustrations and text on every page. However, some users who have tested it are reporting that when they try to print out the pages on their own printers, most of the illustrations are greyed-out between pages 3 and 51. The text is printing correctly on their printers. The images on the front and back cover are printing, and so is an 11-page comic strip (made up entirely of 11 TIFs, with no additional text). Can anyone work out why all the other illustrations throughout the document are printing greyed-out on their printers?
Thanks
Roger3

I am replying to my own question.
After posting here, I received feedback from a viewer that the PDF file is downloading and printing out pages with no greying-out of the illustrations. It looks to me as though the problems are arising from other viewers' slow internet connections and/or hardware RAM for printing, especially if trying to print all pages at once, rather than Saving As to hard drive, then printing.
Thanks,

Unwanted white border when printing to file on LR2

I have been using "print to file" on LR2 (mac) to export images for a website (the only way that I know to add the identity plate so that it is readable).
I always get a white border around the image.(In addition to the custom Inner stroke border that I can add myself) How do I get rid of the white border??
Thanks,
Nikos.

Nikos!!!! You should be out shooting not blabbering on internet fora ;-)
You;re using LR 2.0 b I think. Two ways: Set up a costum page size with zero margins in the Page setup and reduce the margins in the layout section to zero. Second way is to set custom file dimensions in the print job section and then set the margins in the page layout section to zero. You should also extend the cell size to the max and make sure you have enabled Zoom to fill and Rotate to fit.
Cheers!
