Imagewriter II. White gaps in graphics printing.

Hi I have an Apple Imagewriter II I'm using for an art project. It prints colour graphics well, but has quite obvious white gaps between each line of printing.
Does anyone know if there is a way of aligning the heads so the gaps disappear? Cheers all

I seem to remember a setting like HQ or LQ on that model that made it print more slowly (if you can imagine that), more loudly (if you can tolerate that), and more accurately. It could be that the ribbon is wearing out or misallinged with the pins. A little light cleaning of the print carriage might help. I know this definitely happens more often and more severely with color than black, since the strips of each color on the ribbon are so thin.

Why are the whites in my graphic printing out as a tainted brown yellow both on regular & photo pape

Hi,
I just aquired a couple HP photosmart printers. One is a C4480 the other a C4580 all in one printer.
I have just put new inks in both of them and ran the test page and the following alignment calibration with no discernable issues.
I ran a test print page as well as cleaning the print heads. Everything looks accurate and vivid.
Now when I print a graphic that I made either on regular paper or HP Advanced Photo paper the whole thing comes out with a hazy yellow brown that is very noticable especially where it should be white. It looks like they were dipped in dirty dishwater on lasagna night.
Has anyone else had this color muddling problem and if so was there a solution to it? If I take the same graphic to the local copy store it prints crisp blacks and whites with no yellow staining. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and what application are we printing from?

White Gaps

I am trying to develop a web site that will have many
different product pages that are essentially a reproduction of
their respective page in the product catalog. I have designed a
sample page but am encountering a problem where, in some browsers,
I have white gaps appearing between the images (specifically on the
left hand side of the page). The page looks great in Safari but IE
and Firefox add white gaps.
Any help is appreciated. I don't know CSS yet and am
primarily a print and web "designer" NOT programmer so please be
gentle.
Many thanks in advance.
Please see the webpage I am speaking about below:

that play around with
simple shapes and designs a monkey could produce and waltz

which is really way beyond their capabilities, have no

White background around graphics shows as a blue tint ...

The white background around graphics that contain a drop shadow,shows as a blue tinted region only when printing as a pdf/pdf-x file to color laser printers. Ink jet printers print the page correctly. Since I work in a pc environment, I save pages files as pdf or pdf-x onto a flash drive. When I open the file on a pc in acrobat reader, it shows the white background. The color laser is an HP Color Laserjet 2550PS. I'd like to include the drop shadows and print to the laser, since the inkjets are being phased out.
Any suggestions about the cause or solution to this problem?

If the grayscale looks ok on screen, you are probably not setting up your print correctly. What OS? What printer?

Strange white gap on the right when viewed on Iphone

Hey guys
When viewed on computer, my 100% width appears to be working fine. But when viewed on iphone (possibly would do same on ipad and ipod but i don't own those) there is a strange white gap on the right.Maybe about 10 px worth.
I noticed in the "services" section, some of the writing was over hanging this white gap so i thought maybe i coded it wrongly and it was pushing the whole screen across. However i shrunk the width of that container now and its not overhanging, but the white gap is still there
I would have a guess that it is a freaky padding or margin setting somewhere in my coding...
site: http://www.jpmediaonline.co.uk
Any thoughts?

It definitely does matter. Like I mentioned earlier, when you have a fixed width of 1,000px for your content container, your 100% width setting for your outer container will be ignored - which means priority is given to 1,000px thereby rendering the whitespace to the right as your background is again a 128px square image. One solution I can think of is to make your background image 1x1px square that you can repeat. See if this makes any difference.'
My site, the autoscroller - I didn't use any plug-in as such. I simply used scrollTop from jQuery API and changed the settings to match . You can read about it here: http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/
Here's my actual function that I'm calling when a menu button is pressed to scroll the div ID associated with it to scroll to Top of the screen. Again, this works for me, as my menu is fixed to the top, unlike your site where each site has a menu bar.
$('ul#menu li a').click(function(){
               var id = $(this).attr("href");
               $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $("div"+id).offset().top},'slow');
     return false;
$('a#link').click(function(){
               var id = $(this).attr("href");
               $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $("div"+id).offset().top},'slow');
     return false;

Create automatic white gap/bar with paragraph style

Hello,
Thanks to your help and the Paragraph Ruler trick, I managed to get automatic title formatting (the grey background)
Now, I would like to get automatically white gap as in line two but I can't figure out how to do it (tried with strikethrough but it's all over the text, you can't cheat).
Any idea?
Thanks.

Here I am (sorry I didn't answer before, during the weekend i am not in my office).
You didn't tell us why do you want to change the text box width? That could help us to give you a better answer.
However if you need to have different text box width you can use this method:
Only one paragraph style with only one rule column width, "vertical line" and grep style.
Below one example:

Dynamic Graphic printing in Smartforms

Hello all.
I have to print pictures from web repository (SMW0) using smartform.
I know in smartform, graphics need to be defined with name, Object and ID, that exist in from graphic repository (SE78).
Exist any way for printing any picture from other source than SE78 Dynamically?
Thank you in advance.
Ibrahim Andres

Hello Ravi....
Thanks for posting...
I understand that I can change graphic name, but it does not fit to me because my graphics are not in SE78 and in WEB repository (SMW0) , and I need to import each graphic to SE78 using one name, before calling graphic printing....
The best solution for me is that I could decide where from assign graphic, not only from SE78. But that is not possible at the moment.
thank you very much.

Framemaker 8 Embedded Graphic prints as a Gray box

Sometimes when I save my book as PDF, an imported graphic prints as a gray box in the PDF and then corrupts the framemaker source file.
It loses the graphic (an imported .WMF file) and substitutes a gray box.
Framemaker 8.0p277 on Windows XP SP2.
Has anyone else seen this problem ?

If it is imported by copy or as an OLE object, then it is known to happen. Try importing by reference.

Muse 100% width elements and images have a small white gap running along the right hand side on mobile site

On the mobile version of my site all the 100% width elements and images have a small white gap running along the right hand side. This looks very unprofessional. There are no other elements outside the area. Any ideas anyone? All advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hello,
I have checked you site on the phone and it seems that Zak is correct.
Please go to the phone layout and make sure there is no element out side the browser area at the right side.
You can simply do Select All to find if anything is outside the browser area. If you find anything you either need to delete it or you need to bring it in the browser area.
If still an issue please share he muse file with us and we will investigate it further.

White gaps between regular and video slides

I have just created an adobe captivate video. There is a white gap between regular slides and animation slides. It usually lasts for about 2 seconds. Because of this my audio and video are no longer synced. This gradually gets worse as the presentation continues. Does anybody know how to get rid of these white gaps? I'm using version 3. The issue is demonstrated in the following video:
http://screencast.com/t/hqczdmV69b9
Thanks in advance.

It looks like they go all the way to the end of the slide. It is happening somewhere between slide 7 and slide 8 (see attached screen shots). Thanks again Rod.

Can imported EPS color graphic print as black in CS3 (Mac)?

I am switching to ID from PageMaker 6 (Mac) and wonder why the newly opened document will only print graphic files (EPS) in composite gray instead of black? There is no option for black output except for text. All other options are Composite gray, RGB, CMKY, etc. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 and an old HP 2100M black/white printer and have to fax output to customer for approval. Black text and gray images on the same document is not too cool!
Pagemaker allows you to select "print colors in black" in the print dialog box and everything prints in black. Why doesn't ID seem to offer the same thing, or did I miss something?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Bob,
I was afraid you'd tell me that. InDesign can't print a graphic in
black on a B/W printer... not great Adobe. I'm kind of surprised
seeing that PageMaker does it easily. Is it the same for ID CS5?
Trouble is I have literally thousands of PM documents with imported
EPS files. I know EPS is now an obsolete file format, but the reality
of it is that's what I have to work with. To have to go back to each
and every file+ and re-create the graphic in black & white just isn't
feasible. I guess I'll have to reconsider the imminent switch to ID a
bit more.
Appreciate the feedback, even though it wasn't what I wanted to
hear. : )
Thanks,
Chuck
