Font in Illustrator prints different than the same font in a different document
I created two pdfs in Illustrator and on the monitor they look the same because they are the same font, character size, both with the same black fill with no stroke but when they are printed it looks different. One version looks grey while the other looks normal. I have double checked settings, cut and pasted the text into the document that prints correctly and nothing seems to fix this error.It's the second file that doesn't print properly aka BuyzFrontv2 copy.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
One of the problems is that much of the text is in 4-color black, probably as a result of cutting pasting from Word. There is less of it in the second one than the first. You might want to clear this up and then retry.

How to Print File as the same as picture/fax viewer ?
Hallo :
I wrote a program which can let the specified png file to be printed. (png file is about 17xx * 11xx, output to A4 paper)
The goal is the print result as the same as the windows built-in picture/fax viewer (by Full Page Fax Print Mode)
And I don't want the printer dialog to be appeared. So I tried to use java print service to achieve this goal.
Now I can print the file by printer.
But comparing to the result which is printed by the windows built-in picture fax viewer(use Full Page Fax Print Mode), my result looks like zoom in, not full page.
I tried some classes of javax.print.attribute.standard package, but no one worked.
So I tried to transform the image by myself. And I found a resource : [http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/reference/faqs/index.html#Q_How_do_I_scale_an_image_to_fit]
It looks like what I wanted. But when I implemented the functionality according to that reference. The result is still the same, still zoom in...
I must said I am unfamiliar with java 2D. But this is a problem I must solve.
If the problem can be solved by only setting some classes of javax.print.attribute.standard, it's better.
But if can't be solved by that way, the transformation method is ok, too.
So does anyone can help me to solve this problem or pointed where I was wrong ? Thank you very much.

Now my algorithm which I used is when the height of image is smaller than the height of A4 paper and the width of image
is larger than the width of A4 paper, I will rotate 90 degree of the image first, then I will scale the image.
Then I can get the approaching result when the width and height of the image are larger than the width and height of A4 paper.
But there was an additional error. That is when the width of image is larger than the width of A4 paper and
the height of image is smaller than the height of A4 paper. (like 17xx * 2xx).
Although the print result template is approaching the picture/fax viewer. But the print quality is so bad.
The texts are discontinue. I can see the white blank within the text. (the white line are the zone which printer doesn't print)
First I thought this problem might be DPI issue. But I don't know how to keep the DPI when rotating ?
(I dumped the rotate image, it rotates, but didn't keep the DPI value)
Does anyone know how to solve this strange problem ? Thanks a lot.

Why are ACR PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD?
Why are ACR > PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD? I posted this many years ago and never found an answer. Now that my drives fill up quicker, I thought I might chase this question a little bit further.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.
Why the difference? Is ACR and PSD actually using different compression strategies?
thanks.
Mac 10.8.5 / CC / ACR 8.4.1 - but this has been a consistent behavior over many years and versions, CS6 / CC.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.Hi Jeff
If it is RLE it's not as efficient as LZW:
Saved ACR>PSD = 40.1MB (sample image this AM)
opened in PS and resaved as PSD = 30.8MB
resaved as TIF without LZW = 40.1MB (this adds to your thought that the ACR>PSD doesn't us any compression)
resaved as TIF/LZW = 9.6MB

??? I hope that the Adobe engineers are fussing over 10-20% efficiencies.
I'm within arms reach to a rack of 40TB of drives (doesn't include off-site drives), and all 2TB drives are being recycled to 4TB drives, as a result the rack is always growing. Actually the ACR>PSD files don't really make a difference in our long term storage, only for the nightly backups. But anyway, how you save, what you save etc. should all be part of the discussion.
.... so in my case, throw in an excess MB here and there and all of a sudden you are talking TB's. Plus advantages in backup times, drive life, and energy use.
Somebody added compression into the PS>PSD format, but it wasn't included in the ACR>PSD format, was it a decision or an oversight? If it's just a matter of making ACR compatible with PS when saving the same PSD format..... then why not?

I have an e printer and the printer is on the same network as the iPad. When I attempt to print from the iPad I get a message no printers available. How can I get my iPad to recognize the e printer?
This printer has worked for me with out fail at my house. I am traveling in an RV and am at the mercy of the RV Wifi. I do not have access to the router. The printer has been recycled a number of times as well as the Ipad. The printer is set up and has access to the wifi. It seems to me that the Ipad and Iphone are not recognizing the connection with the e printer. I was hoping there was some adjustment that could be made to the Ipad and Iphone. I can email to the printer from both gadgets. I will try to recycle the devices again.

As long as you are behind a router, you don't need to have your firewall turned on at all, in fact it probably slows your computer and/or internet connection down a bit. The only time you need it is to either protect yourself against intrusion from others on your local network or if you hook your computer directly to a cable / DSL modem.

I'm using Preview Version 7Hello @kgingeri1,
Welcome to the HP forums.
If you have sent a test print via ePrint, and experience this issue, i would call the Cloud Services department.
If ePrint works fine, it is definitely a Google Cloud Print issue.
Also, when you print from your android device, are you using Google Cloud print or the HP ePrint app?
Please call our Cloud Services at 855-785-2777.

My SWF is not the same size as my Flash document size
My SWF is not the same size as my Flash document size. How can I get it to be the same.
ThanksI spent a little time trying to figure out if there's some setting anywhere that might explain this, but couldn't find anything. That doesn't mean there isn't any--I just don't know of any.
I'm wondering if you could take a screen shot that shows the stage size versus the swf size when it plays? It will help to make sure the problem is what I think you have it explained it to be.
Does this happen in all files you create or is it occuring just in one particular file? What version of Flash are you using? If you can make your file available maybe someone can see if the problem remains when they open it--possibly even track down some cause. I am unable to open CS4 files (don't have it), but if it's an earlier version I can take a look.
If you are using CS4, have you updated it to the latest release (10.0.2, I believe)? There were numerous bugs when CS4 was released, though I don't know if this would be one of them. -
Why are images displayed in Photoshop different than the same images displayed in Indesign?
My images imported to Indesign do NOT display as the images in Photoshop.
They seem to display under different color profiles.
The images in Indesign are more desaturated than the images in Photoshop.
This is a problem because now I don't know which image appearance to trust!
How can you get the Indesign images to look like the images in Photoshop?
I use Photoshop CS4 and Indesign CS3.
I import the images from Photoshop to Indesign for exporting to a PDF as the base for Blurb printing (www.blurb.com).
I use the CMYK profile Blurb_ICC_profile.icc:
The images in PS4 are converted to Blurb_ICC_Profile (CMYK).
Both in PS4 and ID3 the color settings are
Working spaces:
CMYK: Blurb_ICC_profile
Color management Policies:
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles.
The images are imported into Indesign by drag and drop from Bridge CS4. In Bridge it says that the images have color profile CMYK, Blurb_ICC_profile.
I also do get "Unsynchronized: Your Creative Suite Applications are not synchronized for consistent color." And I don't seem to be able synchronize between CS3 and CS4, or whatever. I do NOT depend on any synchronization.
The settings above should be enough to show the images consistently in Photoshop and Indesign.
SO WHY DOES IT NOT?
Should not Adobes own applications be able to keep color consistency?Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

Local weather in Weather app different than the same city
In the Weather app on iOS 7, the temperature for the city of Charlotte, NC (where I am) is one number, but the temperature for the local city, also Charlotte, NC, is different. I don't understand how this happens. It's the same city. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've included a screenshot of both cities taken literally a second apart from each other.
Hello James,
It sounds like you have the same city set up on your phone twice in the Weather app, and they both show different temperatures. The reason for this is the one on the left is using your current location, down to the zip code. The screenshot on the right is indicative the temperatures for the city as a whole. When you are setting up a new location for your weather app, you can enter a Zip Code, or city name and that is what determines what information you see.
Add a city or make other changes. Tap .
Add a city: Tap . Enter a city or zip code, then tap Search.

PDFs exported from word printing lighter than the original
Using Acrobat Pro XI v11.0.09 / Microsoft word 2013
Hi,
I have a word document containing text in turquoise (RGB 2,216,240) and dark grey (RGB 127,127,127) and an imported jpeg
I have created a PDF from this file (Which looks correct on screen) but when I send it to print it is much paler than the original printed directly from Word. I have tried on 2 different printers (same result), new cartridges, printing 'Best' quality not draft.
NB. The imported jpeg prints correctly, it is only the text and blocks of colour created in Word that are printing pale - i.e. supports that it's not draft quality.
Interestingly, if I change the colour profile from CMYK TO RGB in my print settings it prints correctly, but this option is only available in the printer driver for one of my printers. This would imply though that the problem is with the PDF and not when I create the PDF from Word.
(I have tried 'Save As' and 'Save As Adobe PDF' and also printing to PDF with the same results).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a document we need to send to clients.
ThanksHi Corrie1000,
In Word file, click on the 'Acrobat' toolbar:
Click on Preferences> Advanced Settings > Color
Under Color Management Policies> Select 'Leave Color Unchanged'. Click on Ok and then click on Create pdf and see if this works for you.
You can refer to the doc for definitions for the individual Color Managemenet policies and set accordingly: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-conversion-settings.html
You might also want to refer the Doc: Acrobat Help | Color conversion and ink management (AcrobatPro) for editing/ converting individual object colors in the pdf.

Why does the Illustrator "trap" command trap the same spot colors in opposite ways?
I can not understand how Illustrator decides which way to expand something when using the "trap" command. According to their tutorial it expands the lighter-colored artwork over the darker artwork, unless you choose to reverse traps. But in practise, where two objects of the same color meet, it will frequenrly trap them in one direction in one place and the opposite direction in the other.
Here's an example with especially large traps:
The two yellow items are defined as the same spot color and are a single compound path. There is just the one simple shape of spot red and one simple shape of spot pink.
On the left yellow object, it expands yellow over pink. On the right, it expands pink over yellow. On the left yellow object, it expands red over yellow. On the right, it expands yellow over red.
There is no possible print order of these three spot colors that would result in the correct object shapes being printed the way this is trapped. Is this just a bug? Can anyone explain this result, or especially how to make it work in a useable way?
All objects are spot colors that are cut out from each other so there were no overlaps.Here's what it looks like with overprint preview:
It still looks wrong.
This view is glossing over how bad it would really look with screen printing, because the inks are much higher opacity than they're previewing here. I suppose that's what you're getting at, that the trapping may be bad for screen printing, but if you're assuming offset press inks that have next to no opacity and will mix together on press, that it doesn't matter which way you trap. Overprint preview makes yellow overprinting pink look the same as pink overprinting yellow. With spot colors in screen printing, that is no where near the case.
But even consdiering that, this trapping is wrong, the final shapes of the objects are changed by the trapping. And the trapping does not appear to follow Adobe's own description of the logic used, or any kind of consistency. Why would it expand yellow into pink in some places and pink into yellow in others?
I've heard the trapping in Indesign is much better, some screen printers open in Indesign to add trapping... maybe I'll look at that. -
HP Envy 5530 - computer won't recognize that the printer is on the same network
Product Name: HP ENVY 5530
OS: Windows 8.1
No changes made to system before issue occured
I bought this wireless printer last week (5-13-14). I have a working printer that was connected to my husband's work laptop via USB cable, but needed one to connect to our family computer, which is in a different room with the modem/router. My husband travels for work, so I want to be able to print without disturbing him and while he is away on business. I turned the printer on and connected it to my network with the password and printed out the network settings and the wireless report. There are about 8 other wireless networks in range of my printer (we're in a residential neighborhood), but we aren't having a problem with it connecting to someone elses stuff. I went online to download the driver software and it downloaded fine. I clicked on the desktop icon to launch the control panel for the printer and it opened up for me to install the printer. I went through every step and it won't recognize the IP address or the name of the printer, and therefore won't open up for me to do any scanning. Both the printer and PC are connected to the same network, but they won't recognize each other when it comes to going through the HP software to scan or print. I can go into word or something to print and it will let me print wirelessly, but it won't do anything from the control panel of the print software because it thinks the printer hasn't been installed. I've had Windows 8 on this computer since I bought it in 2012, but I have the computer defaulted to go to my desktop instead of the start screen, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I am going to go ahead and remove the device and uninstall everything so I can try again later. If I had known this was going to be a problem, I would have not bought the printer and just kept on doing what we'd been doing.Hello SarahD_07,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are having some troubles getting the Envy 5530 printing wireless on Windows 8.1. Are you able to take the I.P address of the 5530, type it into the address bar of your web browser and hit enter. Does it load a page about the printer?
Run the Print and Scan Dr to see if it can clear up the scanning issues if you can view that above page.
I will look out for your reply,
