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!
For further assistance, I will need to know some more information:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. 
If you are using Genuine HP Ink cartridges.
Thank you for posting, and have a nice day!

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • Colors are gone when running report jsp

    Hi guys,
    Could you send me to some reference to understand why colors are gone when I run a report that was called from a Form in web environment?.
    Colors of letters are still ok, but the frames that were coloured in Design time does not appear in color anymore.
    Rgds.
    TIA.

    If you are using a template for report and want the same template in web report then you have to make sure that all your image files and .css files relating to that template are there in your web directory. e.g.
    ../images/image_file.gif
    ../css/css_file.css
    otherwise it'll show you blank frames in web page.

  • My iPad2 colors are wrong. Has anyone had this problem?

    My iPad 2 colors are wrong. Has anyone had this problem?

    Could you provide some more details please.  Where are the colors wrong?  i.e. What application?
    As a first pass to fix you could try a reset.  Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  This may take up to around 10 seconds and is the equivalent of a PC re-boot.  You will not lose any data.

  • Changing case when printing on Photos..( Elements4)

    This sounds silly but when printing on photos (elements 4) the font is most often in UPPER CASE and I am not able to change it... AND NO...my keyboard caps lock is NOT on . Help please!!! This is driving me crazy...

    Reports allows you to position the objects anywhere you want on the page. The only reason that objects move up the page is because they are anchored to objects above them. When those objects don't print, the objects that come after move up.
    You can create an object that prints on all pages but has no line and no fill color. This can then be used to reduce the amount the master frame can shrink by. (Make sure it prints on all pages. You might need to create seperate frames to surround the fields you want to see and the transparent field - then another to surround them both).
    If you know the position that you want the details to print then you can position the detail objects in the appropriate location and change the properties against the frame that surrounds he detail section as follows:
    "Base Printing On" to "Enclosing Object"
    "Print Object On" to "All Pages"
    Alternatively, create an explicit anchor between the frame and the top of the report.
    Finally, if you want to parameterise the position of the detail records, you need to create field that dynamically re-sizes to push everything below it down by the required amount.
    - create a field object that is at the same level as the master objects
    - set the "print object on" propert to "All but First Page"
    - set the source of the field to something like "desformat".
    - then use the srw.set_field_char(0, "<some text with a number of returns>"); in the format trigger
    This allows you to push everything below the field down by any desired amount.

  • HP Laserjet CM6040MFP always paper jam on fuser when printing full photo in plain paper

    Hello,
    My office using Printer HP Laserjet CM6040MFP, but i have problem.

    Hi -
    I can't tell from your post which specific jam you are experiencing.
    I found the following on the HP.com support web site at
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01450544&jumpi...
    On this page are a lot of possible jam causes and solutions.  This one is a description I think sounds similar to your report. 
    Common causes of jams
    Cause: When printing on lightweight paper or on jobs with heavy toner coverage, paper is wrapping on the fuser causing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap Jam messages.
    Solution: Set the LIGHT MEDIA optimize mode on the Print Quality menu to ON .

  • Just bought a 8500a, when printing a photo on HP Premium Plus paper, the prints come out not glossy

    Just bought a 8500a, when printing a photo on HP Premium Plus paper, the prints come out  flat,not glossy.
    On my old HPL7680 a photo w/same paper come out glossy & shiny. This maybe what should be expected w/8500A and is not a problem w/the printer. The 8500A is set to advanced photo paper, best quality. I worked w/HP tech support and was told to send back to the Amazon where I bought it for replacement. But if this is not really a defective printer than it doesn't make sense to send it back. I also purchased a HP C510 Photosmart and the quality on photos is excellent, so I have solved my photo printing problems per say. Has anyone else noticed lack luster, non shiny photos coming from the 8500A?
    My thought process was that if the L7680 printed a shiny, glossy photo, then the 8500A should too. But this may not be what I should expect... 
    IS MY 8500A DEFECTIVE OR JUST WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM AN OFFICEJET PRINTER AS OPPOSED TO A PHOTOSMART PRINTER.
    thx Jim

    The Officejet 8500 uses pigmented inks which have different characteristics than dye based inks.  HP Premium Plus paper is not really very suitable with pigmented inks, a better choice would be HP Advanced Photo paper.

  • How to print on photo paper with HP Photosmart 7520 on iphoto '11

    Dear All,
    I have a very serious problem. I've tried so many settings and configurations without success.
    Very simple. I cannot choose the photo tray in any way and I cannot print on photo paper.
    I get everything on A4 format.
    The printer is working fine wih other software (e.g. HP studio).
    I can't believe I'm the only one.
    Please help!
    tks ;-)

    Hi,
    I came across such issues using AirPrint from Mac OS.. probably an Airprint bug.
    Go to Print & Scan and click the plus sign.
    From the extended add a printer dialog select the Photosmart 7520.
    Open the Use drop-down and select the HP Photosmart 7520 from teh list (Instead the default AirPrint option)
    Additionally from the iPhoto print dialog click Print, the OS print dialog will appear.
    Set the Paper Source as Photo Tray under the Paper Type/Quality menu.

  • When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    Does it print correctly on plain paper?
    What do you do differently to print on Photo Paper than to print on plain paper?
    iPhoto has no idea of what paper is being printed - that is totally a function of the printer and the print driver supplied with the printer - you need to look at the printer specific options and your printer manual and/or support forums

  • Only 3/4 of photos print on photo paper

    Only 3/4 of the photo prints on photo paper (4x6 borderless). If photo is printed on full size paper entire photo prints.

    Try these steps and let me know if it resolves your issue or not:
    1. Remove all paper from the paper tray.
    2. Place the photo paper print side down on the right side of the paper tray.
    3. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
    4. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
    5. Make sure the product is the selected printer.
    6. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box.
    Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties,
    Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
    7. Click the Features tab.
    8. In the Basic Options area, from the Paper Type drop-down list, select More. Then,
    select the appropriate photo paper type.
    9. In the Resizing Options area, from the Size drop-down list, select More. Then, select
    the appropriate paper size.
    If the paper size and paper type are not compatible, the printer software displays an
    alert and allows you to select a different type or size.
    10. (Optional) Select the Borderless printing check box if it is not already checked.
    If the borderless paper size and paper type are not compatible, the product software
    displays an alert and allows you to select a different type or size.
    11. In the Basic Options area, select a high print quality, such as Best, from the Print
    Quality drop-down list.
    NOTE: To achieve the highest dpi resolution, you can use the Maximum dpi
    setting with supported types of photo paper. If Maximum dpi is not listed in the
    Print quality drop-down list, you can enable it from the Advanced tab. For more
    information, see “Print using Maximum dpi” on page 30.
    12. In the HP Real Life Technologies area, click the Photo fix drop-down list and select
    from the following options:
    • Off: applies no HP Real Life Technologies to the image.
    • Basic: enhances low-resolution images; moderately adjusts image sharpness.
    13. Click OK to return to the Properties dialog box.
    14. Click OK, and then click Print or OK in the Print dialog box.

    I am trying to get my iPad to print from hp air printer and it only prints on photo paper. How do I fix it to print on paper. I already put setting to copy on printer but it prints blank.

    Thank you everyone. I figured it out. I thought that you can use regular paper to print pictures from photos on Ipad. This is not possible. I was able to use regular print paper to print from my mail. My problem is solved!!
