Monitor displaying different colour then what is being printed

When I print my newly designed letterhead what I see on the screen is different from what is printed. I do not believe it is the printer as all other documents print the same colour as what's seen on the screen. Please help....

what gets printed still doesn't match the monitor (it's darker, overall).
Photoshop-Epson Print Workflow has a bug when you select 16 bit in the print dialogs (don't check those options in the printing routine)
SECRET: How-to-make-the-print-match-the-monitor goal
Matching your print to what you see on your monitor begins with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and it succeeds with a good target print profile (and proper print work flow) to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF a source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF a source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
While my simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
Remember, this is true simply because the Source Profile is independent of the Monitor Profile and the Print Profile.
Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB or preferably the Whacked RGB PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me see where the problem is occurring...

  • Display different colours on JTbable

    I am working on an application that need to automatically produces a table with different colours in cells. Does anyone know how to display colour on each cell of a JTable? e.g. how to display RED to cell at position [2, 4]? e.g. how to display BULE to cell at position [45, 60]?
    Thanks.
    swat_z

    The short answer (to match the question) is that you use a TableCellRenderer. The JTable tutorial has examples of those.
    Haven't seen the tutorial yet? You'll find a link to it near the top of JTable's API documentation.

  • FujiFilm X-E1 RAW displaying different colours

    Hi,
    First of all, I'm very happy the new version of Lightroom handles FujiFilm X-E1 RAW (RAF) files fast and efficiently.
    But I have a feeling the colours aren't quite right. The X-E1, and its brothers, are known for their incredible colour reproduction and wide dynamic range in a compact format. When shooting native JPEG's with, or without shadow compensation settings in the camera, the resulting JPEG files has a clear FujiFilm identity. The colours and luma and are very even all the way from the shadows to the highlights. But when loading a RAW (RAF) file into Lightroom (v4.4) the colours, still untouched, aren't at all the same, and not the luma either. Shadows are harsher, the skin tones and most colours actually are a tiny bit off. Overall I would urge you to study this in detail and give us an optional Camera Calibration profile or something, that will give FujiFilm justice here.
    Does this make any sense to you, or am I just being picky here?

    Without seeing what you’re seeing, it’s hard to say if you’re being picky or if the variances you see are within what is expected between two different raw converters.
    Adobe doesn’t attempt to replicate any particular camera’s treatment of the raw data as seen in the camera JPGs with the default toning or the Adobe Standard profile.
    You will likely see very different toning between Adobe’s factory default settings and what your camera does, especially if it is trying to optimize things.  You’re in charge of the toning with LR so you’ll likely want to do something to each photo you care about.  You can click Auto tone and get a guess that is usually better than the default, but sometimes it guesses really wrong, just like camera metering might underexpose a shot if the sun is in it and LR doesn’t have the benefit of knowing what focus point was active to guess at what the subject was to make sure its exposed reasonably.
    Likewise, for colors, Adobe doesn’t know what the camera has for a camera-profile when it interprets the raw data, so Adobe provides a standard color profile, based on their own methodology. 
    For many Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras, Adobe has also provided Camera-match color profiles that make some attempt to emulate the camera-manufacturer settings, but these are only approximate.  I rarely would use anything but Camera Standard if that.
    You can always get an X-Rite color-checker and use Adobe’s DNG Profile Editor to create your own camera profiles(s) for specific lighting situations or even a dual-Illuminant general-purpose profile like all of Adobe’s profiles are.  Creating such a profile isn’t going to emulate what the camera does, either, but if you feel that the colors are off using the one Adobe Standard profile, your custom profiles can better match certain lighting situations.
    I carry an X-Rite Color Checker Passport and take a calibration shot whenever I'm in a non-standard lighting situation, espeically fluorescent or arena lighting, just in case the profiles I already have aren't quite right, and I need to create a new one.

    See here for suggestions.  Without any clues about your printer model, the application you are printing from or your operating systemI would say the issue is that you are running out of cyan ink.

  • Cover design preview a different colour to what is uploaded problem?

    Just wondered if anyone has had this problem and if anyone has any suggestions. Every time I upload the new cover, it has a horrible dark blue tint to it which isn't on the original pdf file. This is the second cover I've uploaded for my book and I don't recall having this problem originally.
    Has anybody else experienced this problem? Does it affect the final product?
    Thanks,
    Hannah

    It's a fairly common problem that has been discussed numerous times over the years.
    Lulu converts the image used for the Preview , but not for the book, into a Flash rendition.
    You have to redesign the cover image to meet both requirements of the cover and of theme preview. It may take a number of iterations to achieve what you want.

  • Artists has different name then what I put in

  • How do i get the different colours to display in my calendar

    Hi i use Microsoft Outlook on my computer running windows vista.
    I input my appointments in outlook and categorize them with different colours to show different appointments and they show up in outlook with the selected colours.
    But when i sync with my iphone they are all just a dull blue. when i first got my iphone it did display the relevent colours but something has changed as it does not work now.
    Even the Apple TV advert displays different colours in the calendar, so what am i doing wrong.

    Colors are assigned only when you are syncing _more than one calendar_. So, you need more than one Outlook calendar on your PC to have colors on your iPhone calendar. The "labels" within an Outlook calendar (Busy, Out of Office, etc.) do not transfer.

  • Why are jpg files displayed different in Lightroom 4 then in f.e. Apple Quicktime? How to make it similar?

    I use  Lightroom 4 for organizing and processing my photo's on my Sony Vaio VPCF11C5E (Windows 7, 64bit). When I import (no presets applied) the jpg files of my canon 6d (camera setting sRGB) in Lightroom 4, the pictures are displayed differently (less colorful) then  when displayed in f.e. the slideshow mode of Windows Photo Viewer or in Apple's Quicktime. Which settings do I need to change to display the photo's in Lightroom in the same way as in f.e. Apple's Quicktime?

    If there's a mismatch from LR, that's likely due to the other application not being color managed which is what I suspect is the case with the version of Windows Photo Viewer. LR is correct.

  • Is there a way to make an anchor link display a different colour when selected? (active state)

    I have a vertically scrolling site I am trying to set up, and it's all going well. Only problem is when you use the menu (widget or non-widget) to move to an anchor link, thus bringing in the next section, I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour.
    This would be good for letting the user know what section is infront of them.
    Is there a way to do this?
    One other question: Is there a way to get an anchor link to display centrally in the middle of the page up and down. I can arrange it so it looks good in one browser window, but as soon as the user has more vertical space it seems to diplay a set distance from the top. I guess what I'm asking is can the anchor link define the center point instead of the top point?
    Many thanks!

    Hello,
    Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
    Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
    I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

    I don't know how to achieve what you want exactly, but for this very same purpose I have used two browsers.
    My usual browser is Safari, but I have successfully done what you describe by opening the broadcast with Chrome and navigating the web in Safari at the same time (I suppose Firefox would work just as well).

  • Time Code Effect  Source Monitor and rendered .AVI movie display different timings???

    Im seeing a strange error and hope someone might be able to help me out. I am shooting elementary classroom reading lessons for a study by the University of Michigans School of Education. It is important to the study to see what takes place over about a 2hour period of time.
    Im shooting with 2 cameras. 1 on the teacher the other on the students. Im shooting on mini DV. The first camera I start about 4min ahead of the second so that when the 1hour tape is filled I can switch the tape in camera 1 while still capturing activity on camera 2.
    When I edit the footage I am cutting back and forth between the 2 cameras. One initial shot is of the classroom clock as it ticks from one minute to the next. I later use this footage as a guide when establishing the Time of Day.
    When the entire lesson is edited together and cut. I add two transparent video tracks each with the Timecode effect added. The first I synchronize with the classroom clocksetting the Timecode Source to Generate matching the Starting Timecode with the clock footage. I then crop the frames portion so viewers will know the time of day the footage was shot. The other I leave the Timecode Source set as Clip. I use the size and position controls to move the two timers into the upper left of the screen.
    When I view the finished video in the Program Monitor everything looks great. When I Export|Movie to an .AVI file the video looks correct but the timers are off. The last frame of the video in the Source Monitor displays 11:28:19 for the clock timer and 02;02;00;23 for the total time timer. But when I view the .AVI the last frame displays 11;03;40 for the clock and 01;37;36;25 for the total time.
    So how did I lose 24min between the Source Monitor displays and the rendered .AVI displays?

    Yes. After I had the .AVI I ran through the two side-by-side (.avi and the Source Monitor). I have since experimented with some of the Time Code effect settings trying to see if these might have some impact. I have not been able to find any detailed explanation of what each setting controls/does other than an overview (see link below).
    I suspect that this has something to do with the size/length of the clip 2+ hours. Is there an optimal length for an individual clip? Should I be splitting this into 2 or 3 shorter sequences and then putting them on a DVD with Encore and setting it up to play them back-to-back?
