Lines in photo prints

Recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Windows XP.  All printing is fine except photographs.  Lines appear in the photo print and color quality is not acceptable.  Documents print fine.  Test print is good.  Installed all new ink catridges.

Make sure you have selected the appropriate photo paper in the paper/quality tab.  If you print on photo paper with plain paper settings the quality will suffer.  Also for best results select "Best" quality.

  • Photo printing slow one line at a time

    My first time printing phots on my Officejet 4620 and it is taking 20 minutes per picture one line at a time. Very frustrated. Call the help line and was told tht how this printer works.....

    Many things can affect printing photos. Wireless connectivity (if applicable), paper size, print quality, software used to print the photo, printer design optimization (photo printer vs. office printer), security software used on your computer,  etc.....
    That being said, this photo printing document may offer some information of benefit:

  • I have a 4500 G510n that leaves horizontal lines in photos when printing

    When printing photos I get horizontal lines about 1/8 inch apart from the top to bottom.  I have tried to set the print quality to a better resolution  and it doesn't make any difference.

    I understand you're getting horizontal lines when you print photos. I would take a look at this document.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Yellow lines across my printed photo

    I am getting lines across my printed photo using my PSV2400 and Vista. I assume I may be running out of ink but I don't know if it is my color cartridge or black cartridge. I am running Vista and I do not have the utility installed that will tell me approximately how much ink I have left. My CD says it will work on all windows operating systems up to XP. Is there some place I can download the Print Manager utility, for Vista that will help me out on my ink usage?
    Thanks for the help and Happy New Year

    what makes you say it's the mac? sounds like you have a screw loose somewhere in the printer.
    clean the heads and try printing on a different type of paper or try setting the type of paper in your print setup before you print.

  • IPhoto '11: Horizontal lines appear across photo printed on card stock; don't appear on drafts printed on paper. How to get rid of them?

    iPhoto '11:  Horizontal lines appear on photo printed on card stock; don't appear on photos printed on paper or other card stock.  How to get rid of them? 

    Horizontal lines appear on photo printed on card stock; don't appear on photos printed on paper or other card stock.
    What's the difference between the first card stock and the other card stock? What's the finish on the problem card stock? What printer are you using?  Does is have a physical adjustment for different stock thicknesses?

  • Photo printing on c7280

    I am using photoshop cs3 on a mac mini and I constantly get lines across the print in the direction of the print head travel.  Also there is not enough d-max.  I have tried multiple print and paper profiles.  Noting seems to make a difference.  I am using Office Depot professional paper.

    What paper type setting are you using?  If you are using "Automatic" I would suggest changing it to specify HP Advanced Photo Paper.  It is possible the sensor that checks paper type has malfunctioned and is not applying the proper settings.

  • We want a good photo printer, can anyone recommend one

    We are trying to find and decide which is the best photo printer for the Apple Mac Pro, can anyone help?  Also can someone tell me us which photo software is the best on this machine as we have found the general one supplied (iphoto) is not very advanced for more advanced printing and photography. thanks l

    Is there a range in performance and price to what you need? "Best" is pretty much asking for top of the line but not best price/performance for X$s.
    http://macperformanceguide.com/index_topics.html
    Dozens of tips on printers, memory, software etc are you looking for something in between the low end and CS5.5? $200 range for instance? I would tend to think Adobe Creative Suite or therein.
    http://macperformanceguide.com/SnowLeopard-Printing.html
    http://macperformanceguide.com/LionHairballs-PrintingProblems.html
    - Try search for type " MacOS X Lion + printers" and I would look at MacFixit and also look for Canon and Epson and OS X issues with updates, drivers, etc. and Lion compatibility.
    I keep buying Canon and each new model is just that much better than the last, but I don't need $1K printer (well, my first HP DeskWrite was 20 yrs ago!)

  • Blue shade on photo prints

    I am an amateur photographer and was very pleased with the photo prints of my HP officejet 6500 wifi.
    However, after replacing HP blue and magenta ink units, recently (old ones were empty), the following problem occurs:
    I have a blue haze on area's where it should be black/dark, mostly shade area's of a picture.
    Dark brown, black, dark red, etc. all have a bluish haze and miss the original deep dark tone.
    A light grey shade on a white picture turns into a bluish shade in stead of grey.
    White remains white, and other colors seem correct too, though.
    Initially it looks like a wrong white balance, but it is not.
    Checked this on several monitors, and different PC's and prints at a photo service.
    I print on HP photo paper (premium and everyday glossy).
    I use Photoshop Elements 10.
    I bought new HP ink cartridges again, but the problem remains.
    I tried to figure out many settings, maybe I did something wrong, but could not find anything wrong.
    I tried to bypass the problem for urgent prints by strongly reducing blue with Photoshop Elements 10, then blue disappears in real blue sections, but the blue haze problem remains.
    Bottom line is that I cannot use my HP printer now for printing photographs, but need to for regular presentations at a photographer community where I participate.
    Who can advise me what to do, what to change, where to adjust .... ?
    Help !!!

  • Photoshop CS5 - Compatibility with "Canon Easy Photo Print Pro"

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded and installed  the trial version of Photoshop CS5, only to discover that in the  Automate option  (Under Files), Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro is no longer  listed.
    Canon have advised that it is not their problem.
    I  found that with Photoshop CS3, that this method of printing, provided most  accurate colours,
    I would be interested in other subscribers, who have CS5 and who print with  the Canon Pixma Pro 9000,
    (1) Have you found a method of using Canon Easy Photo Print Pro, and if not
    (2) What settings do you find give the best results from your printer -  What options do you select in the print dialogue box, etc.
    Brian

    Hi,
    Thanks for this information - Canon came back to me with a similar responce.
    Pending a resolution, which allows something similar to  Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro to be installed as an "Add-in" to Photoshop CS5, I plan to allow Photoshop to manage colours.
    This requires you to disable the printer from managing colours.
    For those who have a similar problem and are not sure, how to disable Colour Management in the Pixma Pro 9000, the following is a quote from Canon:
    Thank you for contacting Canon Support. Your reference/ticket number is 1031274.
    We are sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Canon Pro9000.
    Please go to the 'Printing Preferences' and then select the 'Main' tab.
    Here you will see a 'Colour / Intensity' option, make sure this is set
    to 'Manual'. The 'Set' button will now appear active, press this button
    and then go to the 'Matching' tab. Once here make sure 'Colour Correction'
    is set to 'None'. This will deactivate the colour management completely.
    Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us
    on the telephone number below ensuring to quote your Canon Helpdesk ticket
    number noted in the subject line above. Alternatively, you can reply directly
    to this email by navigating to the link below.

  • Quality of the Photo prints

    How good is the on line photo prints that Aperture provides ??
    Is it for pro printing?
    or is like Iphoto?
    Thanks
    Ettore
    Powerbook 17" 1.67   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   HD 23" Apple Display

    We ordered an iPhoto book 2 years ago and hated the quality. That was with a little point and shoot Sony 3Mp. Now with our Nikon D70 (6Mp) and RAW files plus the 300 dpi of Aperture books I can say we are thrilled with the quality in both our Apple prints and books. We cropped a picture from the D70 and ordered a 8x10 and it came out great.
    Some pictures in our book were dark but that was our fault for not correcting it as it was dark in Aperture too. The one click exposure correction is not availible when using JPG's by the way.

  • Photos print with red stripes across them

    I have an Envy 5532 printer. If I print from an sd card the photos print ok, copying a photo direct from the scanner also prints perfectly, but if I print from photos already stored on  my computer they have fine red lines randomly across them. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply. I have now found that my problem was in fact confused by a number of coincidences.
    I had set up the printer and run test print pages & copied from the scanner and a print from an sd card before the "stripe"  problem appeared. When I tried to print from a photo already stored on the computer was when it first really showed up. I ran the Print Doctor Tool and no problems were reported. Similarly the print test page appeared ok although of course it only has small coloured sections. Finally, after running test after test, the ink ran out and I had to put in a new cartridge - Eureka! problem disappeared.
    I therefore conclude that I had a faulty cartridge that was causing the trouble. I have since run a photo on "best quality" onto Photo Paper and it looks perfect. At the high price of cartridges, this was a costly excercise, but at leat I am now able to print my  photos which is what I bought it for.

  • How to print with a Canon Compact Photo Printer CP-330?

    never found a so hard issue, I'm used to plug&play hardware...
    can anyone help me printing from iPhoto or Photoshop to a Canon Compact Photo Printer CP-330?
    I tried with Canon's drivers, with Gimp 5, anything... one time the printer started working, then stopped after the first pass (yellow color)... frustrating...
    thanks

    Hi there,
    If you have had no luck with the Canon or Gutenprint drivers then you may have a printer problem. Have you been able to print from it using your memory card directly connected?
    If you think/know the printer is okay then I would look at the cups error log to determine why the spool is failing. This log is located in the Console application.
