Ink bloches and wet when print on art card
I am trying to print a flash card using Matte Coated Art Card from Japan with 260gsm on HP Officejet Pro 8620. However the result is very disaapointing. It is wet and blotches. I have tried paper types Card Stock, other Greeting Cards and photo papers for Paper Type option.
Please help.
Hello AliYahyaRaee:
It could be that the paper you are using is too slick and will not absorb the ink from the printer. Follow the link below to possible fixes that might help.

Lines and streaks when printing
Ihave anhp j3680 all-in-one - the black ink level is high but i'm getting lines and streaks when printing.
Sometimes the cartridge itself may be causing the issue. You may want to check the cartridges being used, clean the heads and align the cartridges. The link below will walk you through the steps consecutively.

I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, I can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

Every time Firefox openedGo to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list. -
Turning off headers and footers when printing a web page.
Is it possible to turn off (or reduce the size of) the
default header and footer
when printing a web page? I am using Internet Explorer 6.0.2
900, and only want
it to work with my computer and a specific printer.
I am using the directive @page normal { size : portrait;
margin : 0;} in a CSS
stylesheet specified as media="print".

Of course, but It's not a problem with logical inches per se.
The
logical inch is just another way of looking at what is meant
by the
screen dpi value. Scaling problems, with different dpi
settings, has
always been a Windows problem and results from the way that
the OS
handles scaling. Fonts scale perfectly. Actual windows, and
other
containers, don't. This is a problem programmers have
grappled with
since the first Windows OS. Vista is the first OS to try to
tackle this
problem.
>Thus, percentages or ems work best when cross-platform
compatibility is
>desired."
And that is because the users screen dpi, and hence logical
inches, are
totally irrelevant when specifying ems and percentages.
Ems and percentage equate to a number of pixels, not inches.
The sole purpose of screen dpi setting is to convert anything
sized in
physical inches into a number of screen pixels. That is the
_only_
purpose of screen dpi. It's a very simple algorithm.
(physical) inches x screen dpi value = number of pixels
How do _you_ think a font sized in points (inches) gets
translated to a
specific number of pixels on screen. I'd be interested in
your answer.
For the screen a conversion from physical inches to pixels is
always
necessary because, as you say, pixels are the unit of screen
measurement
but they are not just a "standard" measurement, they are the
only
consistent measurement. It's not the users program that
creates pixels
on screen but the Operating System. The program requests the
OS to
create a given font at a given size and the requested size
_must_ be in
pixels. Windows can't _directly_ create a screen font that's
specified
in points (inches) because it has no notion of what a
physical inch is
on screen. It does know what a logical inch is because the a
logical
inch is defined by the screen dpi value. That's what the
screen dpi
value is for. If a browser programmer wants to bypass the
variability of
screen dpi on different computers then they ignore dpi values
and work
directly in pixels i.e. in ems or percentage. When ems and
percentages
are specified one is dealing only in pixels.
> It makes a lot more sense in terms of website design to

Of course it makes more sense to set font size specifically
in pixels
because that's the only unit the OS can use to put something
on screen.
I can't see where you get the idea that either Michael Bowers
or I have
said that there is a unit "defined as 1/72 of a logical
inch". Every
Windows program written takes it that there are 72 points to
a
_physical_ inch.

You are implying I've said things which I haven't. I have
never, at any
time, said one should use points or inches in designing web
pages. You
seem to have missed the point that what I am doing is
explaining why you
see the results you do on screen when those unit are used.
Somewhat more
informed than "Points are only for print because I don't know
what they
mean on screen, so they must be meaningless".
>As Eric Meyer says on page 110 of "Cascading Style
Sheets: The
>Definitive Guide" (2nd Edition), "points can be a very
difficult
>measurement to use in document design."
And again, I've never advocated using them in page design. A
close
reading, however, from page 83 onwards shows that Eric Meyer
has an
imperfect notion of the meaning of screen dpi. Heresy!! He's
hardly
alone, which is why I did a web site.
>
>That's why I recommend leaving points for use in print
style sheets.
>However, if you enjoy making life difficult for yourself

so.
Once again, I have never advocated that. You are setting up a
straw man
to knock down. You can do better than that.

Images off colour and overexposed when printing
Hi folks I'm new to the site. I have been using adobe software for a good few years at this point, and i have been trying to solve a problem with my friends Photoshop and illustrator. every time she prints out work, its all off colour and over exposed like the colour preferences are messed up.
When printing a word doc or regular jpg images there is no problem. It only happens when trying to print in Photoshop or illustrator.
I would really like some help
Thanks
Edit
CS3 Extended
Printer brother DCP-165CWhat are her color-management settings and practices?
Is she set up to use appropriate color-profiles while designing/editing, using a calibrated/profiled monitor to display the designs or photos in accurate color, and using appropriate settings and profiles for print color-management?
Do the prints come out to match what's displayed if the image is sent to a service - or you print them on your setup?
Does what is displayed in Photoshop match what is displayed in the other apps being printed from?
Has it once worked, and now it doesn't - or is this a new setup?
This is a case where the specifics matter - very much. Color-management settings and practices cannot usually be "guessed" into working. And to make matters worse for those struggling to understand, there is the possibility that there are bugs in printer drivers, bad monitor profiles, etc.
Unfortunately, it's near impossible to teach proper color-management concepts, so that the user can make all the appropriate choices, on a forum.

Prints too dark and contrasty when printing from IDCS3 to Canon IP4000 inkjet printer
I have a problem with colours when printing from IDCS3 onto a Canon IP4000 inkjet printer and Ilford Galarie smooth pearl paper. I cannot find a solution to it or maybe I am not looking for the right search terms. Maybe someone can help me here.
I am using IDCS3 on a Mac G5 PPC with 2Ghz dual processors running OS 10.4.11. I have an Eizo ColorEdge CE210w monitor which I profile regularly with a Gretag Macbeth eye-one device.
I have designed a 50 page document with about 200 images. Now when I print from IDCS3 the images are too dark and very contrasty. But when I print the same image from Photoshop CS3 the print is fine.
I have been using the canned ICC profile from Ilfords website.
The one difference was that in Photoshop I had a choice of rendering intent in the print dialogue which I set to relative colorimetric. (I have subsequently found that I have the choice of rendering intents in ID if I select each image and change the RI before I get to the print stage which can be a pain)
I would appreciate your help with this as I do not really want to redesign the layout in Photoshop all over again.
Thank you in advance.>The one difference was that in Photoshop I had a choice of rendering intent in the print dialogue which I set to relative colorimetric.

You can change overall rendering intents for each document under Edit/Assign Profiles. -
Colours too rich and dark when printing
Hello!
I am having slight problems printing photos in iPhoto. The photos look great on my laptop: PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.7), iPhoto 6.0.4 (305). The printer is a new Canon Pixma MP 500 (bought because of good reviews for photo printing.)
When printed the photos are too rich in colour and slightly dark. I am using Kodak Glossy Picture Paper for Inkjet Prints.
The settings in iPhoto for printing are:
Paper: A4,
Style: Standard Prints
Advanced: (main settings)
Colour Conversion: Standard
Quartz Filter: None
Media Type: Glossy Photo Paper
Print Mode: Printing a top-quality photo
Color Correction : None
Print Type: Photo
Brightness : Normal
Color Balance and Intensity all 0
Vivid Photo is unticked
All advice gratefully received!
Alastair Turnbull
ScotlandYou might calibrate your monitor in the Color section of the Displays preference pane. Set the Gamma to the 2.2 setting. Then try editing a photo to the level you want and print. The darker 2.2 will force you to lighten the exposure in iPhoto to what looks good to you and may more closely be represented in print to what you want.

Applications run slowly and quit when printing on a G5
I recently migrated applications, documents, and accounts from a G4 to a G5., both running OS X Tiger 10.4.9. Since migrating, many times a day there have been problems with it.
Applications (mostly FileMaker and Microsoft Word 2004) run a little more slowly than they should. Of more concern is how these applications will unexpectedly quit when printing. They will quit just before the print dialogue box is supposed to appear. It doesn't happen every time, but it shouldn't be happening at all. The printers used are all shared printers but not postscript-based printers.
I've tried a number of things (deleting the printers and adding them again, repaired permissions, updated software, deleted corrupt fonts, uninstalled MS Office & reinstalled, zapped PRAM) and nothing has helped.
I thought I'd ask here for any suggestions (since this looks like it might be a common enough problem) before I resort to reinstalling everything! Thanks!Reinstall if deleting .plist files doesn't help. Seems that crashing on launch is common enough after the recent update http://www.macfixit.com
Backup. And whenever you do a clean install, back that up there and then, sparseimage works fine, and keep it handy if you need to restore.
I'd run First Aid and Disk Warrior.
I thought my printing problems began with the Security Update 2007-004 and went back to earlier image. Have not yet reapplied to test whether it would or not.
After spending a couple full morning trying various fixes, a restore or reinstall did the trick. I'd suggest the same. -
I accepted a update from Modzilla yesterday. After which I had no print abilities. In the preview area it is just blank and when printed the pages are just blank. I had to go back to Internet Explorer to print my work-- it printed fine so it isn't the printer.
Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Turns off and on when printing e-mails Photosmart Plus B210A
When printing e-mails and/or attachments, machine turns off with warning that it was incorrectly turned off. It will then turn itself on and off several times. I have unplugged it and as soon as it starts to print what is in memory, it turns itself off again. I can print word or other programs. But I can't always copy attachments over to word and that is a hassle for as many e-mails as we receive. Of course it is just barely out of warranty. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The prints from the memory card are much sharper than when printed from Adobe Elements Is this normal or is there a reason ? help please
ECol a écrit:
As far as I am aware the card is read by the computer as it is without any form of enhancement and sent to the computer and printed.
If I print from the Photo Gallery the prints are as sharp as above.
I would have expected printing from Photoshop to be the same.
No, that's not that simple. Printing means resizing (resampling) most of the time and depending on your printer type/printer driver, a default sharpening is generally applied.
By the way, more sharpening does not necessarily mean better quality. That's the advantage of being able to control both resizing and sharpening from the editing software. There has been many books written on the 'art' of sharpening. -
HP C4680 all in one printer out of alignement when printing avery business cards.
I recently purchased an HP C4680 all in one printer and have found
that it will not print Avery clean edge C32028-25 business cards. It
prints ok on plain paper and when you compare against the business card
sheet everything is in the correct position. However when you print the
actual cards the printed area creeps up the page and some of the print
is off the cards ruining the sheet. I am using avery design pro
software version 5. The print preview shows the printing area correctly.
Please advise of a fix for this issue.I have the same problem with my HP Officejet Pro 8000 using Avery business cards. I don't think HP knows how to fix the problem. I was told by HP to select card stock as my paper type, but that is not on my menu. I may have to adjust my PageMaker template to counter the creep. You would think that this would be an adustment that could be made in the software. It amounts to 1/8" over the whole page. I don't plan on much help from HP since I have not received any help in the past.

Photoshop Application Errors when printing to Zebra Card Printer
Hello,
I have been troubleshooting and issue for a user and I have run into a wall.
When printing from Photoshop CS3(Version 10.0.1) to a brand new Zebra ZXP Series 3 card printer in Windows 7 32 bit I am getting this: errors:
I went from an XP machine to Windows 7(with a video card plenty of memory) and still the same errors. I updated the Zebra printer drivers and firmware. I can test print from the PC just fine. I even tried CS4 with the same result. The user purchased a license for CS3 so I am troubleshooting with CS3 at this moment. My user is way behind in printing id badges for his Fireman and needs this resolved ASAP. I may have to go with Zebra's Card Studio Software if there is no resolution for this Photoshop issue.
Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Ben CollierZebra Level 2 Support is looking into it for me. Thanks for nothing Adobe!

OS X 10.8 Problems with images and layout when printing to PDF from any web browser
Hi there, I just bought a new macbook air and running OS X 10.8. This problem happens in both Safari or Chrome: When I go to print to a PDF file, the website suddenly drops most images and formatting, ending up in a very old-fashioned layout. Is this something new with OS X 10.8, or any other suggestions as to what I can do?

Yes if it prints to a printer in the same manner, and it occurs regardless of browser it is the website. -
Mysterious lines and gradient when printing from Illustrator or pdf on PC and MAC
First of all I have to admit I'm not a big computer brainiac but this issue keeps on reoccurring no matter what computer I use. When creating files/layouts in Illustrator and either saving them to pdf and then printing or printing directly from Illustrator either from a PC or from Mac (I use both) the print outs come out with mysterious lines and gradient not matter what colour is used. The lines occur on solid colour prints, when gradient or transparency are not used and when they are used as well. Any ideas suggestions how to make them go away?
Monica,
Here's an image of a print out that was meant to be a solid black colour. This happens with other colours as well not just with black.
