Lightroom - Printing 13x19

I have a problem getting Lightroom to accept the 13x19 sheet size -- don't have this problem with smaller size sheets.  When I hit ok the right margin resets to 4.57".  Am I missing something or is this a bug?  Here's the steps I take (in order):
Set 13x19 sheet size in:  Page Setup & Print setup & Properties & Page Layout.  (This is when the margin resets)
In Page Layout -- Check Reduce/enlarge document to 100% & set size as 13x19.
In Layout -- set the cell size to 13x19
In Impage Setting -- check zoom to fit
Thanks for the help.   

Claude,
A couple of points:
1. "Adobe" tends not to post to the forums about issues that may well be related to third party products. Instead, they leave it to users and forum hosts (i.e. it's User-to-User forum NOT an Adobe Support forum).
2. During the period that you guys established that a workaround was possible I was in the US on a photo shoot (Grand Teton and Yellowstone NP's). The other hosts may well have been looking into the forum, but they are not all Lightroom savvy, so probably did not realise the significance of your findings. In my case, access to the internet wasn't exactly easy and to be frank I had better things to do than to log on to the U-to-U forums. Likewise, on my return I had much more important matters to deal with than scan the hundreds of dated posts on this and 5 other Adobe forums.
However, I'm now home and have managed to clear most of the work that built up during my absence. So, having read your post and eventually tracked down what it was that you're writing about I have updated my Lightroom Printing tutorial and will post an FAQ linking to it sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, the tutorial can be found at http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm#23%20February%202008

    This what I have been trying......  Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
    What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

  • Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom print discrepancies

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with printing from Lightroom.  I have a profile for my printer/driver/inkset that I have used successfully with Photoshop.  When I print an image in Lightroom with the "profile manages" using this profile with the same driver, the image is dark.  the exact same image exported from Lightroom to Photoshop prints beautifully with the same driver/paper/inkset.
    I have double and triple-checked my driver and lightroom print settings but cannot find anything that appears out of whack.  I use a saved pre-set to ensure that my printer driver settings are identical each time.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    thank you,
    George Pappas

    Thanks for the additional information, Andre.  Your symptions seem to point to the same underlying cause of the problem that I have experienced even though your particulars are different.
    I have been quiet on this issue becuase I have been involved in a "deep dive" through the problem with Adobe Technical support and by trying to make sense of the other causes/effects/workarounds found by members of the Lightroom and other forums.  For now, I do not have a solution yet, but hope to have more tangible information and a solution to post within a couple of weeks.
    I have been through four tech support interactions with Adobe and one from Canon.  Unfortunately, these calls were less than satisfactory.  While the people on the phone were nice, there very unhelpful and primarily engaged in "pass the buck" behavior by claiming the problem was somewhere else.  The last support call with Adobe lasted 40 minutes with a very nice fellow who gave me USELESS feedback and directed me to a knowledgebase article that had nothing to do with my real problem.
    Let me be clear, I am a 20+ year software industry veteran and understand the complexities of this stuff.  It is obvious that Adobe and Canon cannot put fully qualifed (and expensive) people on the first point-of-contact for support issues.  However, they should have a reasonable escalation procedure that routes a  problem of appropriate complexity to a highly qualifed person after a reasonable number of support attempts are unsuccessful in solving the issue.  So far, this has not happened and is very frustrating to me.
    Here is what I know of the underlying cause of the issue thus far.  It appears to be caused by the interaction between Lightroom, the operating system's color management, and the printer driver.  In essence, each of us are getting prints that are "double" or "triple" color managed even though we are trying to select one color managment workflow for our output.
    Photoshop/InDesign and other adobe applications use their own color management engine called ACE.  Lightroom does things differently and uses the computer's operating system CM functions.  I believe this why my prints continue to look good when printed out of Photoshop yet look lousy (too dark) when printed from Lightroom.  Lightroom is making assumptions when it sends a print data stream to a printer driver that doesn't yield the same result becuase each operating system performs color management tasks somewhat differently and print drivers from Canon/Epson/HP also do not use the operating systems CM functions the same way.  For Mac users, if you add the printing engine architecture change from of Mac O/S 10.4 to Mac O/S 10.5 you throw an additional level of change into the equation which is not helpful.
    So, where does that leave all of us who have this problem?  I believe that for a given print driver/profile/operating system, Adobe will need to provide us with a workaround that will result in quality prints.  To do this means that someone in Adobe who has the knowledge has to put together a specific recipe of options that work for the major printer manufacturers/OS's/printers.  The long run solution will, unfortunately, occur over time as Adobe modifies how Lightroom makes certain assumptions when it sends print data streams to printer drivers and printer manufacturers will update their printer drivers to be more bulletproof regarding operating system color managment differences.
    Sorry for the long-winded message.  Unfortunately, this is one of those seemingly simple problems that has a lot of underlying complexity and does not yield a "one size fits all" solution.  I will keep this group updated on what I learn as I work with Adobe.
    Best,
    George

  • Lightroom printing problem Epson R1800, XP SP2, colors dark

    I'm having no success with printing from Lightroom 1.3.1, with a quite new Epson R1800, on an IBM R51 with Windows XP SP2.
    Printing is fine, using Epson's Easy Photo Print, and PhotoShop Elements 2.0. In fact, the results with Epson's Easy Photo Print and Elements 2.0 are almost identical.
    I played with ICM on, off, downloaded new Epson icc profiles for glossy paper, loaded new cartridges, cleaned nozzles, etc.
    And I searched this users forum and the general web. Sounds like printing problems with Lightroom is pretty normal.
    Any other clues or hints to solve the problem? Seems pretty stupid that Lightroom can't be used to print.
    ...Vick

    Vick,
    I'm new to printing on my Epson 1800 and am sure others know more than I do, but this might be a start since I had the same problem printing from Photoshop CS3 on a R1800 and R200. I think the problem is in the printer properties/printer dialog setup and since the problem is the same maybe the solution is also the same.
    In Lightroom click File - Print Settings or, to get to the same place, click File - Print and click the Page Setup or Print Settings or Print button. Whichever, it takes you to the print setup for the 1800. Click Properties which takes you to the Epson Stylus Photo 1800 Properties window. In the bottom right, click Advanced button. A "note" warning about making changes pops up. Click continue. Under the Main tab, color management make sure ICM is NOT selected. I have "Color Controls" selected. Click OK (twice I think) to get back to the Lightroom print window. This corrected the dark colors problem I was having. When printing in PS3 it asks, "Did you enable color management in the printer dialog?" Somewhere else I found the suggestion to disable ICM color management when printing from PS3. So much to know!! Hope this helps.

  • Why Lightroom printing is really bad

    Here is my setup:
    - Apple with 10.4.9
    - Lightroom 1.2
    - Photoshop CS3
    - Spyder calibrated monitor
    - HiTi 641PS dye sublimation printer with calibrated profile
    Here is what I have done:
    - created a tiff with foreground color black and printed that with Lightroom and Photoshop
    Here is what I get:
    - Printed with Photoshop with the color profile: probably as black as the printer can manage
    - Printed with Lightroom with same color profile, same rendering intent, printer color management switched off: some muddy blue gray
    - Printed with Lightroom but colors managed by printer: still blue but a lot darker
    Yes, I checked both page setup and print setting in Lightroom but alas. The same blue gray haze also shows up in normal photos when black is intended, but by using this test the differences clearly show up.
    So, anyone any clue why Lightroom fails miserably in this small test??? But better, what can I do about it? I know that this topic has been discussed a zillion times in this forum, and that the first reaction usually is: "you must have done something wrong with your color setup", but I hope the setup described above excludes that assumption.
    Rgds,
    Tom

    Jeff,
    I agree the HiTi is not a very commonly known printer. In fact I think it was one of the first affordable dye sublimation printers a couple of years back (2002). The reason I bought this one were the positive reviews it got on Steve's digicam page.
    The printer comes with a standard profile, but I also had one based on printed test cards.
    And yes, it does come with a manual which explains how ton install on MacOS. It is even 10 pages long, which I consider way too much for any piece of Mac SW, but at least they try... Wrt to your question system driver versus Photoshop plugin, I can only tell it shows up as a normal printer and it installs stuff (.plugin) in Library/Printers/HiTi.
    Coming back to the real subject, from this thread I gather the following opinions:
    - "You must have done something wrong", even though it was nicely packed into a reference to another thread on this forum
    - the Apple printing system is brain dead
    - "It is running fine on my system, but I have this other problem I want to talk about..."
    Still no hint of an explanation why Photoshop and Lightroom print differently with exactly the same settings. Well, maybe the remark on double color management, but then that would still indicate a difference between PS and LR, would it not?

  • Lightroom printing issue with print server

    I have a DP-G310 print server set up. It works fine with every programme but Adobe Lightroom. When I click print after a while I get the message failed to print. All my other programmes print ok, IE Word, Wordpad, Indesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3. The printer I am using is a Canon i9900. I also use a HP cp1700 set up on the same system the same way and has the same problem with Lightroom. If I turn the computer off after the page failed to print (not restart) and then turn the computer back on, it prints. Lightroom prints ok when I connect with a normal USB cable. I am using windows XP, 2gb ram Lightroom 1.4 .1 The same thing happens with Lightroom 2 Beta. Any ideas would be welcome.
    Just in case anyone has a similar problem, this isue has nothing to do with Lightroom. By trial and error I discovered the problem was caused by my internet connection and was initiated by Lightroom connecting to the internet checking for updates. If anyone has any ideas how I can sort out this conflict so I can use Lightroom and print wirelessly at the same time as being on the Interenet I would be grateful.
    Thanks

  • Ptinter Settings? Lightroom prints are TERRIBLE

    Hi!
    I would greatly appreciate some suggestions on what I can do to resolve this problem.
    I am trying out Lightroom because I am really interested in its features. However, one of the things I am running into problems with is with printing pictures. They all come out washed out, dark. I've tried several of the settings in Lightroom as well as in my printer driver (Canon MP760) and nothing seems to work. (And I've wasted a lot of ink and photo paper!)
    On the other hand, other picture tools like Google's Picasa do a superb job with the printouts... and I did not have to fiddle with the printer settings at all.
    I am telling Lightroom to let the printer manage color (the default setting) and in the printer driver I am using the exact same settings that I use with Picasa. It seems that Lightroom is messing around with the pictures before passing them along to the printer.
    Thanks!

    Same problem for me with a Canon Pixma IP5000 printer and Lightroom-- and for me, it wasn't just Lightroom prints-- I had the same issue as you if I used website photo printing firms-- but I was able to resolve it and get a reasonably good match of Lightroom print to monitor view. (Don't expect perfection here with the average consumer-level monitor. You'll make yourself crazy. But you can come pretty darn close.) Here's how I did it:
    First, explicitly Remove any existing color calibration settings other than the one for your monitor in Windows. You may think you don't have one, but check. I'd forgotten until I checked that I had installed one for use with Paint Shop Pro photo software; it was messing me up. You remove color calibration profiles by right-clicking a blank area of your desktop, choosing Properties>Advanced>Color Management, highlighting any color profile other than the one for your monitor, and Removing it.
    Then get and use a Color Vision Spyder 2 express monitor calibrator. I thought, Ah, that's silly, I can calibrate my monitor close enough for jazz using website calibration screens, but these gadgets do much better than I could at free websites and are well worth the money considering what Lightroom and other photo software AND throwaway prints cost. These calibrators are priced well under $100 shipped at websites such as amazon or newegg. I have a Sony SDM-HS95P LCD monitor, and I can't just go with the Spyder2 calibrator settings... I have to make an additional minor adjustment on my monitor of Brightness from the Sony default 50 to 10, and from Color Temperature to User Adjust>Red>101 instead of default 128, after calibrating. YMMV, of course, depending on your monitor, but the point is, you may still need to experiment and adjust a tad after calibrating to find a good match of monitor to print. Still, using a monitor calibration device helped me A LOT and I highly recommend biting the bullet and trying one, given your issue. Of course, you want to use Spyder2's color management profile as your default, that loads at bootup.
    OK, on to Lightroom settings for your printer. Remember, I have a different Canon printer than you have, so again, YMMV, and you may need to make some adjustments here to what works for me, but it should still give you a good lead on how to proceed with your Canon printer. Canon printers do seem to need some custom settings compared to other brands for success in printing within Lightroom. What follows is copied from notes I keep in a .doc file on my PC for making 4x6 prints with Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy in Lightroom.
    To enable borderless printing of 4x6 images, first click Page Setup on the Printer module of Lightroom to enter printer settings, and then Properties>Page Setup and check Borderless Printing. If you don't do this first before trying to set up Lightroom, Lightroom won't let you set Margins to 0.00 or do borderless printing.
    Set Lightroom: Print>Print Resolution 240 dpi for 4x6, Print Sharpening>High, Color Management Profile NOT Managed by Printer, but by Canon iP5000 SP2 (SP is for Photo Paper Plus and 2 is for Quality Fine {setbelow-- to 2, to match this setting here}; if you click Other and select MP instead, that's for Matte Paper, and if you select one of the PRs, that's for Photo Paper Pro). These profiles, incidentally, get installed by the Canon Printer Driver. Rendering Intent in Lightroom should be set to Relative, not Perceptual; Relative is a better color and gamma match to monitor.
    Press in Lightroom: Page Setup, Print Settings, or Print (it doesn't matter) to set Canon printer Setup as follows: Size 4x6, orientation Portrait (even for a landscape image), Source to Paper Feed Switch. Click Properties and set Main>Media Type>Photo Paper Glossy, Print Quality>Custom>Set>Quality>High>2 (this number matches the number corresponding to the paper profile you selected in Lightroom's Color Management Profile) and turn on Diffusion. OK. Color Adjustment>Manual>Intensity 17 (makes prints slightly darker to match what you see on monitor. For some prints, you have to adjust the Color Balance numbers. These changes are best made from Page Setup in Lightroom, not Print>Properties; doing it the latter way, changes often don't take, i.e., the program seems to save the changes but goes ahead and prints it unchanged(!) and restores the previous settings as if you hadn't changed them(!!). Contrary to what you might expect, do NOT turn on ICM in Manual. ICM here definitely messes things up on my Canon printer. Page Setup tab: check Borderless Printing. Move the Amount of Extension slider to second position from far left (despite Canon's recommendation; otherwise, it cuts off too much of the image-- as it is, second position from far left cuts a small amount, but far left position leaves a tiny white border in prints). Effects tab: uncheck everything, including Vivid.
    More info I drew on to connect all this together is found in
    http://www.steves-digicams.com/techcorner/June_2005.html
    Info on Canon's paper profiles and matching monitor to printer on Canon's website, unfortunately, was unclear and inadequate for me, anyway, and judging by Adobe forums, for others as well.
    Now back in Lightroom's Printer Module... On right, under Image Settings, check options: Auto Rotate to Fit, and Repeat One Photo Per Page (assuming you're printing images and not contact sheets.) (Be careful about Zoom to Fill Frame-- it cuts off a small part of the sides.) Set Margins to 0.00 and Cell size to 6.00 and 4.00; if you can't hit these settings, go back to Page Setup and recheck Borderless Printing. Scroll down on the right and set Print Job/Print Resolution to 320 dpi...
    Press the key on the Pixma to pull photo paper from the top and insert photo paper glossy side up the long way.
    The first time I tried printing, it wanted to print every print in the filmstrip. Look in the bottom left to see how many photos it thinks are selected. If it's all, and you want just the one image selected, don't proceed, or it will print the first image in the filmstrip. One workaround, I found, is to put the photo(s) I want printed in Quick Collection, and then I can print one, or a few.
    Once you click Print, it will take awhile to set up before printing actually starts. Look in the upper left of Lightroom you can monitor the printing prep process (remember, it's converting RAW files to printable format, often, so this can be slow).

  • Lightroom printing is off center

    Hello all,  I just replaced my home computer after it got fried from an electrical surge.  While I was at it, I moved from a PC with XP to a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.  I had to transfer my Adobe License for Photoshop too and moved to CS5.  The move has been great so far,  but when I print out of Lightroom 2.7 with my Epson 3800 my prints are either off center or off the page.  Printing with my previous PC setup was perfect and now I am totally baffled.  I am in a bit of a time crunch too,  as I need to get a photo shoot printed and delivered to a client.  I even thought about dowloading the Lightroom 3 Beta to see if this would give me a temporary solution.  Any one have any ideas?  I have been searching the web for a few days looking  for a solution and my tech person is baffled too.
    Many Thanks,
    J. Paul

    Make sure to visit the Page Setup dialog and select your printer model (3800) from the "Format For" popup menu, and the page size from the "Paper Size" popup menu:
    See suggested steps here:

  • Need help for Lightroom Print&Web Templates

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded/installed my official Lightroom version (Mac OSX 10.4) and I have realized that there is no Print nor Web Templates accessible in the Template Browser section. I think I have done a mistake since I have erased completely the files from the beta4 version (including obviously the libraires containing those templates) before installing the official Lightroom V1.
    Can anybody tell me where/how to get those original Adobe Templates files again. I have tried to re-install several times the V1 version but it does not help. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

    They were in User/Libray/Adobe Lightroom, no at User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom

  • Lightroom printing problem

    I am encountering an issue while printing from Lightroom ( I recently upgraded from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 4.4) to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800. Using Epson 13 x 19 paper, and printing an image that should be 11 x 18, the result is a portion of the image, measuring 10" wide x 6 7/8" high, being printed. I have tried this with several images with the same result although the exact dimensions of the printed result vary. It does appear the resulting image, on horizontal image, is the lower left area of the image. On the vertical attempt, it is the upper left portion of the image. Does anyone have an idea?
    David

    I have been having the same problem with my Epson 3880 with LR 5.3. Some templates seemed to work OK but then inexplicably I'll get only part of the image in portion of the intended printing area. Particularly with larger paper sizes like 17x22", which gets expensive. This happened repeatedly after checking all the dialog boxes and page setup over and over again. When I take the image to PS from LR it will print fine there. But it would be preferable to be able to go to lightroom and use the templates if I could sort it out.
    I'm using Mac 10.9.2.

  • Lightroom print issues with Espon Stylus Pro 4900

    I'm having a weird issue with my StylusPro 4900 + Mavericks/Lightroom
    My prints keep coming out 1/3rd their normal size.
    I spent the day troubleshooting and no luck
    Using LR4 ad now CC LR + Installed all the updates.
    Uninstalled old the old drivers and reinstalled new.
    Restarted several times.
    Cleaned up the OSX stuff and more .
    I have been using Epson's for over 10 years but have never run into an issue like this.
    I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

    Not hearing back about the details of your "success" with the Epson driver install, I can only assume that it really does not work correctly - as is the case with everyone else I've read about trying to use the 2200 under Snow Leopard.
    The only work arounds are two, and neither is satisfactory:
    1. You can turn off Color management in the first photoshop print dialog and then select the color managed option in the second - this defaults to the printer's drivers instead of using those in photoshop. The result is not right - the colors and brightness are noticeably off - but it is "less unbearably horrible" than what you get if you try to print with the correct workflow: Photoshop manages colors in the first dialog and No color management selected in the second.
    2. There is a Gutenberg driver for the 2200 that theoretically could let you print without the Epson printer drivers. However, I have yet to encounter anyone who has gotten this to work properly so that it duplicates the color results formerly achieved with the Epson driver and photoshop managing colors under the earlier versions of the OS.
    This is not a good thing. Many of us who rely on the Epson 2200 are not suddenly and without warning and with no word whatsoever from Epson... just plain SOL...
    Epson should at least say something about this. Their statement could be "we will not support this printer under Snow Leopard" (terrible policy, but at least we could all go out and shop for new HP color printers...), "we are updating drivers for this (these?) printer(s) and will have them available shortly," or even "we are looking into this problem and will respond shortly."
    Right now the silence is deafening. There isn't anything at the Epson site addressing this issue at all, and there is no way to follow up on it from the page addressing Snow Leopard compatibility.
    Poor show, Epson.

  • Lightroom - print module not working on mac osx 10.5.1  (leopard)

    When I switch to print module in light room comes up as error when changing modules but every every other module seems to work fine.

    Jao, I tried it but no luck. As John recommended, I also uninstalled Lightroom, deleted the preference file as well as the print templates per your suggestion and reinstalled the latest Lightroom 1.3.1. Still no luck with using the left panel in the Library module.
    One thing I just noticed was that if I open a very small catalog of ~200 images, everything appears to work fine. It looks like a problem with working with my 12,000 image catalog which always worked well before I upgraded my iMac to OS X Leopard. By the way, I've got the preferences setup to always check the integrity of the catalog at the start of every session. Everything is supposedly good.
    Anyhow, thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I hate the thought of reimporting all my images and losing all my metadata in the process. Thanks.

  • Photos from Lightroom print too dark

    I have saved my photos in RAW format and imported them into Lightroom. I have then made changes to them and exported them from Lightroom as JPEG files. However, when I go to a printing kiosk and get the photos printed, they are all darker than what they displayed in Lightroom. What do I need to do to be able to print accepable photos?

    It really isn't that difficult to print and get good results. But the key is to make sure the monitor is set properly. Those who are really into printing strongly advocate using a hardware monitor calibration device. I agree, but haven't invested in one. Over the years I have worked with the controls on my monitor and software tools to match the monitor to my printer. And having done so I have found that images that I send to a lab match very well, too.
    Since you have never printed before, or are just getting started, you really need to take time to get that monitor adjusted to match the results you are getting. Photolabs are pretty consistent. And if your images are too dark you must at the very least reduce the brightness of your monitor. Color matching can be a whole additional challenge. If you want to print, whether on your own printer or through a lab, getting your monitor set up properly is critical.

  • Lightroom Prints Off Center (Epson R800 Printer)

    I have been using PSCS2 and Qimage to make my prints in the past. (Windows XP computer)
    Just installed Lightroom and like the program. Only one problem - when I try to make a print (not boardless) the print is not centered on the page. I have already checked the margins and the print certainly looks centered in the preview.
    I am using an Epson R800. (I never noticed this before, but then again I have generally printed boardless in the past. Decided to try boarded prints because LR makes it so easy to add a black boarder around the image.)
    Thanks,
    Steve

    A4 on a lot of Epsons has a margin on one side. On my the 1290 the minimum is 14.4mm so I set all the sides to 15mm and use zoom to fill to give an even border. I'll also saved my main paper types in presets by saving as Standard.
