HP Z6100PS and colorized grayscale

I've got a big poster job which has the same logo on each page, a grayscale tiff colorized with PMS 286, no embedded profiles, no compression. The file size of the tiff is a few meg; it's only about 8 inches x 3 inches.
When it prints on the HP Z6100PS, the graphic box it is in prints as a solid rectangle of PMS 286, no sign of the image.
I don't have any other issues when printing to the printer and don't know how to get around this problem.
Anyone else with a similar problem? Any thoughts?
BTW, the printer is true Postscript, not a clone; I say this because it has Adobe's Postscript logo stuck on the front of the printer housing.

I'm using spots because the customer specified it.
Exporting to PDF works just fine, but printing from the PDF results in the same problem as printing from the original InDesign file.
And you are right; changing "All spots to process" did fix the problem. Thanks for the info.

  • How do I change font and colors back to default?

    I have changed the font and color of the text through the tools button and the options button and the content tab. I find nothing telling me how to change the font and colors back to default font and colors. Can you advise me? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Thanks.

    Hi Brenda19605,
    You can use this article to set the fonts and colors: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-fonts-and-colors-websites-use?esab=a&s=font&r=0&as=s
    The default settings for the font are in this article:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Some%20text%20shows%20up%20bold%20after%20upgrade
    Unfortunately for the default colors has no good reference. But for text it is black (most lower left) color, background is white (most upper left color). Unvisited links is blue (column 8, row 5) and visited link is purple (column 9, row 5).
    Let me know if you need anymore help!

  • Problem with adjusting both transparency and color of an object

    I am writing a program where when an object is picked, both it's transparency and color will be altered (the object will become opaque, and its color will turn to a predefined "selected" color), while the previously selected object will return to its original transparency and color. I am able to get this to work, except that objects that were picked two or more picks ago will remain in the selected color, albeit in their original transparency. This problem only seems to occur when transparency is factored in. The picking/color & transparency altering code is as follows.
    public class PickingListener extends MouseAdapter {
         private PickCanvas pickCanvas;
         private TextDisplay overlay;
         private Primitive p;
         private Primitive lastP;
         private ColoringAttributes origColor;
         private TransparencyAttributes origTransparency;
         public PickingListener(PickCanvas pickCanvasArg, TextDisplay overlayArg) {
              pickCanvas = pickCanvasArg;
              overlay = overlayArg;
         public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
              pickCanvas.setShapeLocation(e);
              PickResult result = pickCanvas.pickClosest();
              if (result == null) {
                   System.out.println("Nothing picked");
              } else {
                   p = (Primitive) result.getNode(PickResult.PRIMITIVE);
                   if (p != null) {
                        setSelectedColor();
                        overlay.setPickedBarInfo((BarInformation) p.getUserData());
                   else
                        System.out.println("null");
         private void setSelectedColor() {
              ColoringAttributes barCA = new ColoringAttributes();
              TransparencyAttributes barTransp = new TransparencyAttributes(TransparencyAttributes.NICEST, 0.0f);
              barCA.setColor(ColorConstants.SELECTED);
              if (lastP != null) {
                   lastP.getAppearance().setColoringAttributes(origColor);
                   lastP.getAppearance().setTransparencyAttributes(origTransparency);
              origColor = p.getAppearance().getColoringAttributes();
              origTransparency = p.getAppearance().getTransparencyAttributes();
              p.getAppearance().setColoringAttributes(barCA);
              p.getAppearance().setTransparencyAttributes(barTransp);
              lastP = p;
    }Capabilities to alter the primitive's color and transparency are all set.
         barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_COLORING_ATTRIBUTES_READ);
              barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_COLORING_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE);
              barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TRANSPARENCY_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE);          barAppearance.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TRANSPARENCY_ATTRIBUTES_READ);
    ColoringAttributes barCA = new ColoringAttributes();
    barCA.setCapability(ColoringAttributes.ALLOW_COLOR_WRITE);
    barCA.setCapability(ColoringAttributes.ALLOW_COLOR_READ);)
    Any insight as to why this would occur would be greatly appreciated.

    A Behavior is the preferred way to make changes in a scenegraph. Here is an example from a previous post that changes the appearance of a shape when it collides with another shape.

  • I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

    I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6).  You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
    It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
    So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    In my html document (Resume.html)  I have this code, at the top:
    <link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
    Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me.  As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
    a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
    b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
    c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
    Any help is always appreciated.
    Peter A. Forkes

    You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
    In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
    change
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    to
    a:link, a:visited {
    color: #333;
    text-decoration: none;

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

    This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
    Thanks.

    Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
    On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
    I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
    I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
    My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)

  • Lack of sharpness in text and colors

    Recently I have noticed text and colors appear to have faded, not dramatically but discernible nonetheless. I have adjusted brightness (in displays) with no effect so I wonder if someone can suggest another route ... or is it symptomatic of other problems.

  • Flags and colors not taking (seems like a bug to me)

    I'm seeing a bit of an issue I am not sure I understand.
    I have a folder called
    "creative" with four albums in it:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    If I select all the images in the folder and TAG them and add a ORANGE COLOR these tags and colors show up on all the images in the Folder.
    However, /some/ of the images in some of the folders have images that are showing up without the Orange Color and in some case there are images without the Flag or the Orange Color.
    This is so confusing it seems like a bug to me.
    What am I missing?

    Hi. The first image is where I selected all the images and FLAGGED AND COLORED THEM.
    The next two images show SUB-Albums in this folder where there are images that are either not flagged or not colored...

  • How do I save a font and it's size and color in a text box as a default

    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI for Mac and can't figure out how to set a default font for text boxes. I don't seem to be able to access the properties to set the default by highlighting a properly formatted text box and pressing ctrl-e. Is there another key combination for Mac? Or another method for setting defaults? I'm finding I have to set the font, size and color every time I open a new Acrobat doc and want to add a text box. Also, the choices are not even saving with the document. The fonts already typed save correctly, but on reopening, I have to reset if I want to add more text.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Tom Carlson

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've got a Logitech G700S Mouse with a right click button, so right-clicking isn't an issue. Unfortunately, the I can't seem to find the menu to "Use Current Properties as New Defaults." I may not have described the problem correctly.
    I am adding text to a pre-existing pdf document, not creating a form. I would like to be able to set a default font, size and color for text, so that when I enter text in a text box onto the pdf document, it has those properties. If I select the text box that is properly formatted (not the text, but the box) and right click, the only choices I get are:
    Cut
    Copy
    Delete
    Select All
    Deselect All
    Arrange>
    Edit Using>
    So I gues my question is if one can even format a text box as a default or a "style" or the like. I tried setting a default font, size and color for "comments" also in the Acrobat preferences, but even that didn't seem to stick when I opened a new doc. This all may just be a Mac / Mavericks interaction flaw. Anybody have any other ideas?

  • Apple's Alpha Transitions and Color Looks. How to Install and Use?

    A few months ago I downloaded the Alpha Transitions and Color Looks from the FCS3 website.
    I have just re-discovered the .dmgs on one of my hard drives but my memory is a complete blank!
    I cannot remember whether I used them or installed them but seem to recollect reading some instructions somewhere!
    Where should they be installed and is there any info on using them?
    (Possibly in a few more months I will come across this info that I may have downloaded originally).

    Digging around I found most of the answers so will add them here in case anyone else suffers from a similar memory to mine!
    The Color Looks .dmg contains the instructions, the main ones being:-
    To install the Color looks
    1  Locate the Color Looks folder in the image you downloaded.
    2  Select the individual folders in the Color Looks folder and copy them to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Effects/.
    The next time you open Color, the new looks will be available in organized folders in the Color FX bin, located in the Color FX room. Opening the individual folders with categories of looks such as "Blues and Greens" and "Glows" will reveal new Color looks presets that can be applied by double-clicking.
    If you like, you can move the default looks that come with Color into these folders, to keep everything organized. You can also save your own Color FX presets into these folders.
    As for the Alpha transitions, there is of course just one, found in the Wipes folder, which is modified using the media that comes in the download.
