Iphoto printed books paper type?

If you have Apple print one of your iphoto books, a large hard cover book, does anyone know what type of paper they use? I looked through the ordering process but it never gives you the option to change the paper specs (at least I couldn't find that option). So what are the paper specs (weight, type, etc)? And can you change the paper type. Thanks for you help.

I am not familiar with the weight of the paper, but I can tell you that the quality is very impressive. It's a heavy weight paper. Everyone who has looked at the books that I have ordered has asked who the publisher was. Last week, I had to show an image to a professional photo lab and the owner was amazed at the quality that Apple produces. This was a book filled with fine art and the repro was great. It does help if you have the correct resolution and Photoshop CS2 to get the best results.

Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book

Hello,
I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
Many thanks.

Hi,
The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
Many thanks

PS C309a printer detecting paper type

PS C309a; Windows Windows 7; USB wired.
Is there a way to override the printer detecting the type of paper being used? My printer canceled the print job, because the paper didn't match its detection.

What paper type did you specify? Are you feeding from the main tray or the photo tray? Does the paper have a printed border?

Uneven colours in iPhoto printed book, can I get a reprint?

Hello,
I recently ordered an iPhoto book of pictures from our honeymoon as a present for my wife. The book has arrived and on several of the pictures the colours towards the edge of the page are uneven. For example, on an image of a body of water, the blues of the water are uneven. It's as if the printer was running low on blue ink. Pages with less blue appear to be fine.
Has anyone had experience in returning a book for a reprint when there are floors like this?

Have a look at this page:
http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
There are some items, however, that are ineligible for return, including:
Opened software*
Electronic Software Downloads

So you will have to proof, that the faulty, uneven colors are not caused by a a ppor quality of the photos you included. You will need the preview of your book.

HT204364 Deleting text in iPhoto print books

In creating photo books with iPhoto '11, some of the layouts have text boxes... if I delete the text to create a white space area, will it have a border from text box? I basically just want the white space (squares) to break up the page, thanks

No but you will get a warning of missing text. Enter a single space
And always preview before ordering. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2486

Lack of print options when using photoshop elements 10 i.e. paper type

When printing from Photoshop Elements 10 on my MacBook Pro (File Print) there is no where to select paper type or print quality or there doesn't appear to be unlike when selecting print from iphoto. What have I missed? as there must be a way!

From the Print dialogue box click on the Show Details box at the bottom.

Iphoto wont print book

Everytime I try to print/order a book i have created in iPhoto, it closes after the 3rd page loads and wont complete. Any ideas on what I can do??? Thanks

Make a copy of the book (select book and type Command+D). In the copy move that 3rd page to 7th position and preview the book by Control(Right)-clicking in the All Pages window and selecting Preview Book from the contextual menu:
Click to view full size
If the crash occurs around page 7 then check the photos on that page, maybe remove them temporarily from the page and do a preview again. If the Preview works with the photos gone then one of them maybe damaged and causing the problem.
You can also try the following and then do a Preview: make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Iphoto printing products use recycled paper?

Does anyone know if the iPhoto calendars, books, or greeting cards are printed on recycled paper?
Thanks!

What you need to do is select borderless as the paper size and Custom as the print size, using a size that will fill the page as much as possible. Do not select the contact sheet theme.
Click to view full size
You can adjust the custom print size till you get the largest 4 photos on the paper. The size shown in the screenshot was the largest I could use on short notice.

Can't select paper type or output quality when printing from new imac....

Not sure if I'm in the right place to post this question....
When I try to print (from ANY app; Photoshop, InDesign, etc.) to my hp business jet inkjet printer, I get a print menu, but no where on the print menu (or any pulldown tabs) do I have an opportunity to select paper type or output quality. I am unable to print photos, for example.
The printer worked fine with the old PC; there is no driver to d/l for mac.
Only from iPhoto can I select paper type (from a limited number of choices), but not from any other app on my imac. I mostly use InDesign and print flyers and brochures, many with photos, and can't select anything other than plain paper. Do I need a new printer? Genius bar 'help' said they had no idea why it wasn't working....
HELP!!!
Thanks!

Hi Duane,
Yes, I opened the Printer Driver package, and then pulled up my test InDesign file and selected File>Print, and here's the screen i get: (hope this works, I'm trying Skitch for the first time)...

when I click on "Setup" in the print menu box, I get this screen:

I've clicked on each topic on the left on the Print menu, and still there is no where to select paper type or output resolution.
The same thing happens when I print from Photoshop.
Thanks.

How to change the paper type in printer settings?

Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings? I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements. I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements. I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
thanks!

It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

Epson 3880 cannot change paper types in Acrobat Print dialog

I use Adobe Acrobat as a RIP to print from on my Epson 3880. It looks like I might have to reconstruct all my printer presets since they've disappeared after the upgrade(?) to Yosemite 10.10.3. However the print dialog in Acrobat Pro X no longer allows me to create presets with different paper types. At least I haven't found it anywhere. Is this something that can be worked around or is this an "enhancement" to the new OS?
Should I just give up and go back to Snow Leopard?

Thanks a lot. Although i find it strange that every application sets this up individually. However, I did this in all Applications that I use for printing, now it works just fine.

Paper Type issue with Adobe Standard X printing from browser

I work in IT and have two users who suddenly started having a problem printing PDFs from a browser (IE9). We cannot upgrade the borwser to 10 or 11 because it becomes incompatible with a few of our in house websites. I uninstalled standard and installed Adobe Reader XI and did not experience the same problem, but they are in need of Standard X in order to do their job.
What happens is when the PDF opens in the browser and they go to printer, the default for paper type is High Gloss paper instead of plain or unspecified. This doesn't happen if we open a pdf from the desktop and print and the default for the driver is plain. Yes, we could save the document and then print it, but they feel that takes more time and I have to find out why this is happening. Any help would be very appreciated.

Probable issue with the Firefox is that in the documentation it is poorly worded poorly, JIDS only support FF 17.
What is the issue with IE if that does fix the FF issue?

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
How do I proceed? How do I identify which is "default text?"

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box. If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.
