MY NEW EPSON WF-7011 PRINTS TOO LIGHT IN IPHOTO-ANY HELP?

     I have a brand new Epson WF-7011 that prints everything too light. In color options, on A-4 plain paper, by using the colour options below, I get an acceptable print with the Text & Graphics setting but the print is still too light. Color options are
Brightness     -25
Contrast        +25
Saturation     +25
Cyan             -25
Magenta       -25
Yellow           -25
With these settings everything is maxed out to make the print as dark as possible. Because of the equalness of the corrections I think the colour balance is fine, just not dark enough.
This is with the print quality set to: Quality and Vivid settings, with Gamma at 2.2. When I print on Color Glossy Paper, it is even lighter because of the whiter white of photo paper.
I have an iMac running Maverics and have installed all of the most recent drivers.

If it prints everything too light then it's an issue with the printer and not iPhoto. I'd be asking Epson support.

CS5 prints too light using new Mac, perfect from older Mac?

Images edited w. Photoshop CS5 (v. 12.03) on a Mac running OS 10.6.8 print perfectly on my Epson Stylus Pro 3880. But the same files printed from a newer Mac running OS 10.7.4 and Photoshop CS5 (v12.1) print too light. Exact same printer settings in PS being used, same printer driver version (reinstalled to make sure not a bad driver), using the same .icc paper profile (also reinstalled), and using same batch of paper printed at same time.
Where do I start in determining the problem? Epson confirms driver is compatible. Everything else on the new system with PS works great. Gallery show in three weeks, must figure this out quick. Thanks.

Ps update is 12.0.4 and 12.1, but you are probably missing something, by posting screenshots someone may be able to spot the problem
are you sure which one is actually wrong
do they display identical in both OSes
are both versions of Ps using the same embedded profile, did you confirm that

Printing Too Light

I have been creating Pdf files from both AutoCAD and Microstation. The files look perfect on the screen but when I print them to our plotter Xerox Wide Format Print System 8825 the image prints too light. Files consist of black and grey scaled objects. Is there any way to print 'wysiwyg' from adobe
So far the only way to imporove the prinitng has been to use the print as image option. But this decreases the quality.
Thank you
John

J6480 part of page prints too light

A friend of mine has an hp office jet all in one printer model j6480 that is giving her problems. When she prints a page, the top half looks good, but the bottom prints too light. When she prints another page right after that, the same problem occurs. She will bring it over for me to look at on Tuesday. In the meantime, I was hoping to get an idea of what might be causing it or how to diagnose the problem.
Thanks

Colors print too light in inDesign CS3

I can't figure this one out. I am working on a catalog, which has Illustrator CS3 files and Photoshop CS3 files placed. The files print fine in Illustrator and Photoshop, but will print too light, once placed in inDesign.
I have printed them out fine before. I have old prints that look good. I don't know what I did or changed that caused these color shifts.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks,
Anne

Make sure the document that is giving you trouble really has the correct color spaces assigned. You can see that by going to Edit > Convert Profiles... and noting what the current source spaces are. If they are not what you expect, cancel, then Edit > ASSIGN profiles and choose the correct ones.
You might also try exporting the documnet to .inx and see if that makes any difference.

My Canon PIXMA MG2120 prints TOO LIGHTLY. How adjust to print DARKER?

My Canon PIXMA MG2120 prints TOO LIGHTLY. How adjust to print DARKER?

That's not really the answer.
The problem is that it will print at the correct saturation/quality only when borderless printing is not used. I purchased this item because I wanted to be able to print full color borderless prints on a full 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I don't want to have to buy special glossy photo paper just to print borderless. Is this the truth of the matter? You cannot print borderless prints on plain paper without sacrificing significant quality? Does it always assume when you set it to borderless, whether youre in the standard print menu or the photo print menu, that you're printing a photo and it will then default to printing lightly? This is outrageous. They should say something about this in the manual.

Printing with brand new Epson WF-3620 printer

I am trying to print from Elements 12.1 with a new Epson WF-3620 printer. Using their Ultra premium photo paper glossey. When I try and print, unit says paper does not match selection in printer menu set-up and when I do try it prints black lines through photo. This happens even when printing with just plain paper. Printer is new, ran all maintenance and it prints perfectly from iPhoto (except I can't custom print from iPhoto which I need to do). Epson CS said printer set-up settings may need to be adjusted in Elements so I need to know if this is possible. Thanks.

so I assume your instructions are for setting things up in Elements since you mention Expert mode, which I use. I will try it when I get home, so thanks again. As for iPhoto, what I did was select the photo I had imported already cropped to the size I needed in Elements then hit print at the bottom. When the print screen opened, at the bottom right is the measurement settings for custom printing. I just changed those to the size of the photo I needed, then hit the Fill box at the top right, then hit the Custom box and it set up to print correctly. You just need to make sure you enter your image size numbers in the correct boxes at the bottom depending on horizontal or vertical printing. There also is a pull down menu at the upper right if you need to select a certain type of paper. The funny thing is I went out and bought some Epson matte paper and the printer worked perfectly. Prints look amazing and no lines. Makes me think it may have been the premium glossy paper I was using. Again, thanks for your help and I hope the info I gave about iPhoto wss what you were asking about.

I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1 I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated. (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine. By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
- or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

New itunes quits on me (10.5.8, G4) any help?

new itunes quits on me (10.5.8, G4) any help?

Jim,
Thanks for the quick response!
That is what it needed, I deleted it and the redid the settings
Now ripping again @ 40x +
So just for fun, i checked the error correction box again and did a rip at 8x as expected.
Then I unchecked the error correction box, and again the problem remained.
Looks to be a bug discovery in iTunes 9, as I did this on my MacPro as well and it did the same thing.
I had to delete the plist again to resolve it.
Thanks so much!

Three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

Illustrator is Printing too Light

I'm pretty new to Illustrator and can't get it to print correctly. I'm using the color setting my Illustrator teacher gave me. The files print perfectly from other programs on the computer- so it is just an Illustrator problem. People told me to mess around with the color and print settings until I find what works for my computer and printer ... I've tried everything and it' still too light.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you correct it? I'm so frustrated.
Thanks!

To get everyone else on the same page as yourself, it might help to explain what color setting you were given.
It may also help for you to post in the Illustrator forum.

Hp LaserJet 5100 prints too light to read.

Suddenly, my laserprinter printed sheets with the words appear too light to read. Have a Mac running Lion. I bought the printer in 2004. Printer was doing just fine until 2:00pm. No error messages. Laptop is Mac Book Pro. I have not updated or installed any new software today. Help

Hello Gennie19
The product you have is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

How do I print a pdf file that is printing too light to read??

I have a pdf that I must print to buy a home. It will not print as is. I shot screen shots, brought them into Photoshop, made them jpgs and adjusted the gamma to make them very black and white.
It helped but the pages cannot be read. There is plenty of ink in the printer.
I need to send this paperwork tomorrow with a check...
WHAT TO DO?

I have this problem as well, prints come too light out of my Brother5370DW and consulted several channels on internet. Printing from pc was never a problem, only from mac: jpgs, tifs, txt, from Preview, Safari, Firefox, Photoshop, Acrobat etc whenever the document it was not full b/w. Especially screenshots from Google maps were just illegible. I just tried to print a pdf with dark grey text, very light as well. Then it ocurred to me to change the color matching profile in the printer's dialogue window: instead of automatic (which is Adobe RGB (1998) by default, I choose Black & White, and finally it prints fine: black what is supposed to be black, idem for dark greys, light greys.
