I'm giving up on matching colors for print...please help

I have an image of a model whose sweatshirt is sky blue.
I know I'm setting up my print dialogue options correctly for print. I have the paper profile selected, correct printer, etc. I also used On-Screen, soft proofing with my paper selected when making adjustments in Aperture. On screen, her sweatshirt looks perfect. I go to print a picture and in the print dialogue box, her sweatshirt is now teal. I have them side by side and the difference is obvious. Again, the soft proofing is set to the paper I am using, and the settings in print dialogue is set up with that paper in ColorSync. So I have them matched according to settings, but they look very different.
For the heck of it, I experimented and switched soft proofing to sRGB and the sweatshirt turns teal on screen. This teal now matches the print dialogue box's preview of that sweatshirt.
So why does my picture print according to sRGB profile (and match it perfectly--teal blue sweatshirt) and not the profile I have selected for my printer (HP Advanced Glossy--sky blue sweatshirt)? Can anyone tell me if this indicates a certain issue that I can resolve?

I have a B9180 and have had many, many problems.
I meticulously follow the set-up procedures but in the end it is hit and miss. At the start of each printing session I have to waste several expensive sheets in order to get the settings in sync. Not only is it expensive, it is time consuming and frustrating. Ultimately the final parameter is Gamma.
HP advanced photo glossy is very good but I also use locally sourced papers; Canson - a French set of papers, I like their Photosatin Premium Rc and Tecco, a German company - Ultra-white glossy and PSR 250 a beautiful textured satin finish. Most of my printing is monochrome by the way. Eventualyl I get there but I do not have great confidence in the combination of HP and Aperture. the pro photo people say you have to balance everything. their knowledge is far superior to mine but having spent now around 40 years in IT I know enough to say that both companies are falling down badly in terms of tehir co-operation. This type of black magic and mumbo jumbo is just not necessary in today's advanced IT world. If it were so easy as buying an upmarket Epson, I would do it, but that route also seems fraught with danger. If PC, Lightroom were the answer I would go that way but again I am not convinced.
I love printing and the process of getting there but blunt tools do not help.

This is bloody ridiculous. You want somebody to do your work for you, you can't be bothered to carry on a discussion here and ask for private email, and you expect somebody else to make your urgency (i.e. lousy time management) their problem. You got big brass ones, kid.

hi,
You can try generating 5V continously for 100ms in a loop later on you can make it low.
Hope this helps you.

My Bluetooth has disappeared and I have tried just about everything on the internet. When I click on Bluetooth file exchange it says hardware not found. I tried resetting everything as well nothing is working for me please help because now my facetime doesn’t work neither does photo booth and now I cannot text people off my laptop unless they have iMessage.

If you followed the instructions in the support article exactly (leaving the machine off for two minutes), then it has a hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store or other authorized service provider for repair.

Hi,
I have an iTouch. I'd like to download some free apps. but I have a debit card but would like to download apps from the store. how do I do that? I can't possibly get a credit card just for this. please help.

I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

I can see it on Windows Media? Need help on this.

It says SEDG 720X480 2:1 Mono. Video came from Sd memory card taken with a Samsung Video Camera.
Strangely enough, as a FourCC, SEDG is defined as "MPEG-4 hardware and software codec used in Samsung digital video products." Not a Windows or Samsung camcorder user but THIS WEB PAGE may be of some assistance.
Also I will need to view a CD recorded by the same camera (DVD-RW) file extensions are VIDEO_RM.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, SAMSUNG.IFO So far these files don't open even with Windows Media.
I don't know what to do to be able to open up these files save them on my Hard drive and then be able to upload them to YouTube. Any Ideas?
IFO files tell how the video content is segmented and where the video data is located. BUP files contain back-up IFO information. VOB files contain actual multipled audio/video data. A DVD formatted to play in a commercial DVD player normally contains a series of files named "VTS##_#.VOB" where ## refers to the "title" series and "_#" (where # is not a zero) refers to the order in which the video title file data is played.
Again, I am neither a Windows user nor an athority on Samsung VIDEO_RM folder structures. However, if your disc contains both a VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS folder, then I would normally assume the VIDEO_RM folder is present for legacy purposes and/or to provide information about the refording device while the VIDEO_TS folder actually contains the video object (VOB) file data. In any case, as I am not familiar with what software is available for muxed MPEG-2/AC3 editing/conversion on a Windows platform, I would try viewing the VOB files in an application like MPEG Streamclip (free). If you can play the Audio and video content (be sure to read the MPEG Streamclip requirements regarding codec installation), then you can edit (merge and/or trim) the raw data and convert it to a format compatible for YouTube uploading. (I.e., MPEG Streamclip is commonly used on the Mac for this type of work flow and the app is also available for Windows use.)

Help with rich black color for print project, please

We are using CS5 photoshop to create a 3ft x 8 ft vinyl banner. We've never created something this large for print before. Included layers are a black to white gradient, a black filigree graphic from DigitalJuice, and black text (that was created in Illustrator by someone else). We set the project up using CMYK. The printer informed us that we need to change the blacks to rich black (C50%, M40%, Y40%, K100%).
How is this best done? I can see how to change the color picker to the rich black %, but this doesn't appear to change the blacks in the project. Is there a way to change them, or to export the project with rich blacks?
Do we have to begin from scratch - and if so, how do we get the graphics and gradients to the rich black color settings.
Any help will be greatly appreciated -

In RGB mode I can't create non - rich black. For example if I set the color palette to CMYK, choose C=0%, M=0%,Y=0%, K=100%, fill the canvas with this color, and then measure the color with the eyedropper, the color reads C=70%, M=68%, Y=64, K=74%.
This means that if your document is in CMYK mode and you have blacks that read C=0%, M=0%,Y=0%, K=100%, converting the document to RGB and then back to CMYK these blacks will become rich. Though the numbers of the rich black my vary depending on how your color management is set.
Have in mind that the numbers above preserve the tonal intensity of non-rich black when converted to rich black. If you want the numbers your printer suggested they will be fine for elements like text and flat colors but for things like photo images this will intensify the blacks and will alter the tonal balance appearance which may be not what you want.
