Lines in images when printing from anything but iphoto

When I print on my computer from anything but iphoto the quality is horrible and the print has very noticeable lines in it across everything. I recently did a layout in Adobe Illustrator and when I went to print it on regular 4x6 satin photo paper there are lines everywhere. This also happens when printing from powerpoint, photoshop, word, and whatever else that is not iphoto. I cant send out things that are printed at such horrible quality. Everything comes out fine when i print text in black but photos look pixelated and have lines in them no matter what paper I use if printed from anything but iphoto.
HELP DR.

Check the printer manual about calibrating. There is a solution in most drivers for inkjet printers which may call like paper forwarding or so. It seems, that your printer forwords the paper a bit to much before the line is printed.

  • Lines on image when printing Raw files

    Dear All
    I am trying to print Raw images.
    After converting and making my adjustments, I click on File > print (in the PSE editor) and then use the cursor to drag out the image to the size I want (roughly a 10 inch by 8 inch image to be printed on A4 paper). I then print it and it comes out with loads of parallel lines on the image.
    Any advice to correct this?
    Regards

    Hello All
    I am managing to print out raw files fine after manipulating them in canons own software (Digital photo professional) but still getting bands when using PSE 7 raw converter? Any more advice?
    When sending to print in PSE a box comes up saying 'Some post-script specific settings (interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored as you are printing to a non-postscript printer'  This box does not come up when printing from digital photo professional. Could this be the problem resulting in bands on the image and, if so, can it be corrected?
    Someone mentioned about Gamut problems - how do I alter/correct these?
    Also, with Raw files, after I have manipulated them (e.g to black and white) how can I perform other tasks (eg dodge and burn areas)  as it seems that PSE wont let me do this on a RAW image.
    Do I have to save it as a JPEG first ?   If so, what is the point in taking a RAW image in the first place if I am going to lose detail by converting it to a JPEG?
    Sorry for all the questions
    Regards
    Jon

  • 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.

  • Blurry images when printed from indesign

    having problems with only some images in an indesign document. all images are placed and the original files are perfectly crisp pdfs...tried changing the display performance but still appearing and printing blurry? when i click f8 on the image it doesn't show any ppi at all- not sure if this means something?
    please help!!
    thanks, chrissy

    it could also have something to do with the fact i'm having to swap computers to print the file- i'm going to try taking all the links with me and relinking the ones that are apprearing blurry to see if that helps
    Bingo.

  • Why are my Photos very poor when printed from PSE9, but fine from iPhoto.

    I have the most up to date versions of Mac OS and printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R280.  I have tried many different print settings in PSE9, but my photos are still very grainy and poor quality.  Sometimes just a blank sheet pulls through the printer. Please help.

    Hope you choosing the correct paper type and profile settings. Also choosing the correct color management will surely help as i myself use the same printer on win as well as mac and not observing any such issues.
    print, more options, color management, color handling, let elements manage color,
    Printer profile. working RGB - imac, and rendering intent, relative colormetric

  • WhenI print from firefox on a Mac everything comes out 50% too light, if I save the image and print from the desktop it looks fine. No problem either printing from FF with Win7. How do I fix FF on the Mac?

    My iMac runs bootcamp, so I have both OSX and win7 available. I run the latest Firefox on both as my primary browser. The printing looks like the ink is running low, but when the same image is printed from other desktop apps the printing looks fine.

    Hi, Jordan -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    If the original drive in the newer Mac is a Western Digital, its jumpers may be set to Single, which WD drives often use when there is only one device on the bus. When a second drive is added, the jumpers on the original must be reset to Master.
    OS 9's utility is named Drive Setup - you should find it in the Utilities folder on the hard drive. Run that. Select the added hard drive in the list, then select Mount Volume from the Functions menu.
    You can also check with that utility to see if the OS believes the drive has been set to automount at boot. Again, select the drive in the list. Then select Volume Settings from the Functions menu - there's a checkbox in that screen to set automount (for freshly initialized drives, that's turned on by default).
    Also, try running Disk First Aid (should also be in the Utilities folder). Let it have a look at the second drive, and repair anything it can.
    Apple System Profiler should report the format of all drives it sees. Is the format of the drive from the old Mac stated as Mac OS Standard, or as Mac OS Extended?

  • Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

    I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them.  Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo.  I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
    As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there.  I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
    I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
    I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
    We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
    If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
    I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze.  It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
    I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero.  They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
    Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie?  I'm so frustrated.
    Thanks - Jma

    Hello Kirby,
    Your recap is correct.  I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date.  I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
    When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500.   Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500.  I've tried them all.  They all have lines through them.  There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver".  I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
    Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual.  Still, lines through both.
    This is really discouraging.  Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer.  And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
    Fingers crossed that this can be resolved.  I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts.  And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

  • Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

    Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

    No, but if you really mean that the way you said it, I don't know that Print is the best way to this. If you haven't already, after selecting the images you want to get printed, try clicking the Export button in Book or Library module and then selecting format .PDF. Once you export the file to .PDF, try opening it where you saved it and printing from there, not in Lightroom but in Adobe Reader. If that doesn't help, here are a couple of videos that might--follow their instructions carefully with no shortcuts:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4's Export to PDF Using the New Book Module - YouTube
    Lightroom 5 - Exporting Images | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV
    If Lightroom keeps closing even when you try all this, you may need to reinstall Lightroom because your copy may be screwed up.

  • 2540 printing problem, missing lines when printing from iPad

    Bought a new 2540 to use with iPad, printing direct from wireless direct to printer and missing lines, tried copying and everything is working/printing ok. It just appears to be when printing from iPad. I have tried powering down printer and rebooting but still the same.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hey ,  Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I see that you're having what sounds like AirPrint quality issues with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist.  Your 2540 is AirPrint compatible, but not all app content and file formats are AirPrint friendly. I recommend installing the HP ePrint app. (I'm assuming you don't have WiFi if you're a wireless direct user. If that's the case try and visit a public space with WiFi and install the app there. Once installed you can use it within a wireless direct setup).  Let me know if this helps. Thanks for reaching out and have a great day!  

  • 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?

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Go 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.

    Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

    In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

  • Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

  • Officejet A909a prints from mac but when from windows "out of paper" message appears.

    I have an older 8500 which has been very loyal to me and I have looking after it well, which is now pushing 4000 pages.  However i went to print a file from my Windows 7 PC yesterday which is connected via usb, and it wouldnt print saying it was out of paper (which it wasn't) about half full . So i tried again no luck. UN-installed then reinstalled the printer still noting. went to my work laptop (windows 7) which is connected wirelessly through the network, same again "no paper" message appears. i thought this is strange turned it off back on still nothing even after disconnecting it from the mains for a few minutes, nothing the same message still appears. 
    However, my son has a mac book pro and he just printed his coursework off the printer effortlessly through my network. so i know the printer is fine especially as i have now printed self test pages off through the printer itself.
    I have no idea what to do now, as i have tried uninstalling then installing, printing via usb and network. and when i say "out of paper" i mean the printer receives the print command from my computer as it tries to feed paper a few times but cant pick it up also i have tried with various paper levels in the printer (full, half, about 20 pages, 1 single page)
    Please help.

    Hello @Dangerous97,
    I understand that when printing from your 2 Windows 7 computers you receive an 'out of paper' message after your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer struggles and fails to pick up paper. However, you are able to print from a Mac computer. This is very unusual behaviour!  I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Also, thank you for including that you are able to print self-test pages from the printer with no issues as well.
    Generally, 'out of paper' messages are caused by a hardware issue with the printer itself. Because you are able to print standalone to your printer and from a Mac, there may be an issue with the documents that you're trying to print from your Windows 7 computer or a programming issue with your printer.
    With that being said, to start I would like you to click here to download and install the latest programming Firmware Update on your printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to send the update to your printer.
    Once the Firmware has been successfully updated, please test printing again.
    Please respond to this post with the result of the Firmware Update. Good luck!
