Illust CS5 Profiles Match but Pantones Print Differently

Ok. I have a problem with colors not matching between Illustrator CS5 documents. I am often emailed documents with pantone colors selected in them. Later, sometimes I need to create another document using those same pantone colors. The problem is, these two documents print the pantone colors differently. In fact, on my screen the file colors look different side-by-side. I figured it was a color settings or color profile issue, so I went in and checked both files. Everything was the same (Working CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, Settings North America General Purpose 2, CMYK Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)) . When I paste pantone samples from one document into the other, they match what's in each other's documents, but the two documents themselves don't look the same and don't print the same.
What color setting could I be overlooking to cause this difference? I don't particularly care if they match on-screen, but it's the fact that they actually print different colors from the same pantone swatch that is the trouble. A blue pantone from one file will print purple from a different file.

When pasting from one doc to another, watch to see if the color shifts if so swatches palette flyout >> spot colors and set both docs to the same option. Though LAB is more accurate and the way they want you to go in CS6, you are in CS5 documents and prefer to stay with the classic option of "Use CMYK..."
If you copy from Doc A into Do cB, and they color shifts: print >> color management >> color handling on both docs.
Aslo make sure both docs are in document Color Mode >> CMYK

My wife and I are thinking about getting match but we have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing our individual apps

my wife andI are thinking about getting match so that all of our music is in one place. However, we are currently have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing the different apps that we have accumulated over time, also she has more storage than I do and we are a little worried about that. Does anybody have any ideas.

You won't lose any apps but one of you will lose the ability to update apps on the device.
For you to share iTunes Match all devices must be signed into the same iTunes Store Apple ID that was used to purchase the service. This means any Apps that were purchased with the other Apple ID cannot be updated on the device as a device can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days.
I know it's not what you want to hear, but my suggestion is to simply stay with the system you have. It will cause you less headaches.

Printing problems with CS5 and Epson Photo R2880 printer

I'm having problems getting good prints when using Photoshop CS5 with my Epson Photo R2880 printer, problems I never had with CS4. Here's the situation:
If I take a PSD file and print it using CS4, everything works out perfectly. But if I take that same PSD file and print it out using CS5, the print is now offset top to bottom, as well as left to right, along with a 1/8" black strip being printed down the right edge of the paper. As far as I can tell, everything is set the same.
I've compared all the print information found in the Print dialog summary box between CS4 and CS5 and everything appears to be the same. I've verified that I'm using the latest print driver with my printer, and I am. It's 8.27. I've verified that I've checked off the box to center the print to the paper, each time I've made a print. And in trying to figure out what's going on, I've discovered that this problem occurs with any paper size when using CS5, but not with CS4.
I'm stumped and frustrated and without any more ideas as to what I should do next, except to always print my projects using CS4. If anyone has an idea for me, please let me know! Thanks!
P.s. I'm new at using this forum, and though I thought I sent this out once already, I never saw it posted. If I'm in error and it's already out there, sorry for the mistake and posting it twice.

>"Unfortunately then I'd have to say all bets are off. The only true test is to print with the standard materials that Epson has designed their printer for. Only if that works well should you be trying third-party materials. For example, third-party inks in general are of poorer quality, are inconsistent, clog more, and in the long run, do not save you anywhere the amount of money they advertise over the genuine Epson products."
Getting very nice results with an R1800, Inkjetfly CIS, and Red River paper. The R1800 has never had Epson ink run through it and has no abnormal clogging problems. In fact, clogs are rare.
Getting near perfect matches to the monitor with both Colorvision and x-rite calibrating/profiling equipment. The printer stays on 24-7 so the only ink used, other than printing, is a periodic nozzle check. I am not alone in this, so blanket statements like the above are specious at best.
And no, I don't sell prints for big bux, so whether they are going to last a hundred years is not a concern. Besides, until someone is around long enough to verify those claims, the jury is out. I've got color prints from the wet days that are fading after 20+ years. Third party inks are not necessarily lower quality than OEM. One of the reasons for the development of high quality third party inks was the dissatisfaction of B&W and fine art printers with the OEM products.
Of course the cheap refilled/knockoff carts being hawked on ebay and the like are a different story.

Print Different Sizes Images

I use CS5 / 64bit and print on a Epson 3880 printer. I sell my images at art shows & hops. I shoot all image in RAW, on a Nikon D80. I process all images first in CR. When in CR I do not use the Crop Tool but do use most the other available tools. I am able to process 80% of images corrections, in CR and the balance in Photoshop CR5. I sharpen all image with PhotoKit 1.2. I save all my processed images, in a Master Image (MI) file that can be accessed through Bridge or Photoshop. The smallest image I sell is a 5x7 and the larges is 17x22. How do I print different size picture image from the MI and keep resolution between 200 - 300 ppi, one per page to meet the demands for my customers.
Thanks,

Ink usage for same colors but sent from different workspaces

Let's say I print green (0,255,0) from Adobe RGB with a printer profile. Then I convert it to ProPhoto RGB (same green is now 76,230,60 in ProPhoto) and print it with the same printer profile. Do inkjet printers use the same ink combination for printing same green but sent from different workspaces?

Ok, it's obvious, forget about it.
Another question: Can we know that RGB printer profiles use which RGB color space for converting from the workspace?

Print different triangle in vertical and horizontal

Hi,
I have a problem to print different type of triangle like this:
Someone can me help?
Thank you very much.
Jas

Yes, but with different for what is the way?
For exemple with this two triangles:
public class Triangles
public static void main(String[] args){
int number =7;
String triangle = "";
String triangle2 = "";
//first triangle
for(int i=0; i< number; i++)
triangle = triangle + '*';
System.out.println(triangle);
System.out.println("\n");
//second triangle
for(int f=0; f<number+f; f++)
for(int k=0; k<number; k++)
System.out.print('*');
number = number -1;
System.out.print("\n");
System.out.println("\n");
}

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"?

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"? An example would be in Photoshop, go to file>new, and create the size paper I want, and move images of different sizes onto it.
I was thinking the print module would do this automatically for me.

You can't, at present. It's been a requested feature, so we'll see if it shows up in a future version, but it's not there at present.

Windows 8 saying printer error, but still printing

Okay so I just got a new labtop (hp) with windows 8 and the hp envy 4500 printer, everytime I print out something (via wireless connection) on the labtop in the right top corner, a popup will say error printing ( can't remember exactly what it says) but eitherway, it's saying that but the printer DOES print. Why does it keep popping up saying error or whichever but there is nothing wrong and it is printing. Not a huge issue but kind of annoying, thanks, Sarah

Hi TonyKnVA
I understand the printer won't print multiple pages.
Here is a url to temporarily disable all the start up programs to see if one of them is causing any issues.
Click Here.
Turn off any Antivirus software.
Try and print a multiple page document from a couple different applications.
You will have to follow the same steps to enable all again.
Let me know if that makes a difference.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Acrobat 9-forms-Radio buttons print different than check boxes

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create forms.
I've used both radio buttons and check boxes (that are circles).
Forms were designed in InDesign with Zapf Dingbats as the open circles to be filled in.
I used radio buttons when the user had to pick one over the other.
I used check boxes when there were multiple choices or I wanted the user to be able to uncheck a box. (I used the circle style so they would look like radio buttons).
The radio buttons are printing differently than the check boxes. It looks almost like there is an overlay on top of the actual open circle created by Zapf Dingbats.
I checked the "appearance" window and there is no border or fill color on the radio buttons (same for the check boxes).
Under the <general> tab, <common properties> is visible. I'm assuming it should be in order for the radio button to appear on the form.
I would appreciate any input as to how to fix this.
Thansk!
Maureen

That's just the way radio buttons are, and one reason I rarely use them in preference to check boxes. If Adobe wanted to, they could allow you to use any appearance you want for both the selected an unselected state of a check box or radio button, but they've actually further restricted your options over the years.

Print Different Size Photo, one per page

I am using PS5 in 64 bit mode. I print on a Epson 3880 printer. I shoot all photos in RAW. I process all my RAW files in ACR accomplishing 80% of changes and the balance 20% in PS. The output of my retouch is a Master Image (MI) File that I would like to print at different sizes. I am starting to sell my images at Art Shops and Hops. My customers would like to have different size images of my MI's How do I print from the MI, different sizes images with a 150 - 300 ppi and maintain the integrity of the MI?
I have tried the Image Tool but it will not let me print the image sizes that my customers want. The Image Tool only allows me to change one dimension either (H) or (W) but not both. Help.
Jack

If you want to print standard size images like 16x20, 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 etc these have different aspect ratios you will need to crop you image to the correct aspect ratio for the print you want or you could print different print sizes that have the same aspect ratio. Like you camera most likely has a 3:2 aspect ratio if you use a DSLR. You could print all 3:2 aspect ratios image on you 3800. 3x2, 6x4, 9x6,12x8 15x10, 18x12, 21x14, 24x16... all that needs to be changed is the print DPI setting without resampling. You have a 3800 that can print up to 17" wide. You can print any size you want. Some image cry out to be cropped. They look best cropped for image composition is often best as some non standard aspect ratio.

Hp c3180 all in one prints some thins fine but others print and look like programmer language

HP C3180 All in One running on Windows XP
Some pages print fine, but others from different job websites print out what looks like Config Sys language. For example: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 FRAMESET//EN"> and this goes on for 1/4 of a page. How do I correct it?

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!
IF NOT RESOLVED, uninstall hp software & reinstall using latest hp software from hp website.

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there. iTunes Match is a different service from iCloud.

SAPSCRIPT Quantity Symbol printing different values

Hi,
I am generating a Printout & Fax at a time for the Purchase Order output, a SYMBOL which is having a conversion value is printing different values in FAX output. Both the Printout and Fax uses the same Print Program but different sapscripts which have same formatting for printing the conversion value (different scripts but copied one and no changes in the script).
the following symbol is printing different values:
Print program:
data: p_value type ekpo-menge,
umbsz TYPE umbsz.
umbsz = marm-umrez / marm-umren.
p_value = umbsz.
Script
&p_value(7.0R)&
This &p_value(7.0R)& gives different values in Printout and Fax and this difference is not for every document, it is for some documents and there are no changes in conversions also.
My question is: "Is there any problem in using (7.0R) for datatype menge, I mean restrict the no.of characters and decimals at a time for quantity field type".
Thanks in Advance.
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Try doing a WRITE - TO in your program. Make the variable p_value type char.
Another suggestion would be to get the value doing a PERFORM xxxxx IN PROGRAM and retrieve the value from there.
Regards,
Ernesto.

Printing different/selective files with different copies

Hi everyone,
I've been working on finding a solution, on how to print different pdf files with different copies, without opening the pdf-files.
Task:
I have a folder, with 25 pdf files
I want to make a php overview, of the folder
At the end of each line/file - i would like to add a number for the copies
In the end, I would like to simply press print - and every document ive added a number/copies to - are being printet...
I guess I need to use PrintPDF - but does anyone know any pre-made program/function - that could handle the "copies" part...?
I hope someone can help me out,
Thanks
Jan

Well, i had hoped that the acrobat could open silent - eventhough they've removed that feature in the newer versions.
Even though the program would open - if the amount of copies was added - and i just hat to press print - it would ease the job alot.
