Newbie PDF screen display/print colour problem

First let me say I've been searching through the forums for an answer for my problem and drawn a blank, mostly I suspect because I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.  Also I understand the basics of colour profiles but a large proportion of it goes over my head.
The problem:
Our key "corporate" colour is C0 M100 Y75 K25 - I can get reliable and pretty consistent print colour that I am happy with, across a range of devices from documents I produce in Indesign
For screen output e.g. our website, taking an average of several different devices and monitors (none with any kind of calibration i.e. an average user) this equates to approx R130 G11 B34
I am producing a number of PDF 'factsheets' that will be downloadable from the website and I anticipate that some people will just view these 'on screen' and some will print out for reference.
The problem is C0 M100 Y75 K25 and R130 G11 B34 look radically different when viewed on screen or printed - I almost need a PDF 'screen' profile and print profile within the same document. I know I can get a match on my screen if I calibrate it, but I need it to look more or less correct for anybody who views the PDF.
I hope I've explained this clearly enough and any help or direction anyone can give would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Ahhhh...I see what you are saying now Rob.  Unfortunately the docs don't soft proof correctly on my display either - take on board that my display is not calibrated and also I would think 99.9% of the target audience for the PDF won't have a calibrated display either - so I am after a solution that falls to the lowest common denominator.
However, if my understanding of what you are saying is correct, if I had a profile that I could use on my uncalibrated monitor that soft-proofs correctly (more or less - I'm not going for absolute accuracy, just somewhere in the right ballpark), then using the PDF/X4 preset with that profile set would mean others opening the PDF on similarly uncalibrated monitors would also see the more or less correct colours?
Would that profile not throw the colours out on the print if that end user then decided to print it out?
Again, apologies for the simple nature of the questions, but I've only been using InDesign for about 8 months and so far I've lived with the colours appearing wrong on screen as I've known they come out how I expect at print time.  This is the first thing I've done where I would like it to look more-or-less correct on screen as well as in print.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, I really do appreciate it

  • Printing Colour Problems ...

    I know this is a common cry for help, but I am having a dreadful time trying to understand colour profiles, despite spending a lot of time reading up on the subject. Here's my basic dilemma:
    I have calibrated my display (Apple 23" Cinema). I am using an old Epson 830U for basic home proofs. I have set up my proofing profile in Aperture to match the printer and paper I'm using. When I print from Aperture I select my printer and paper in the colour sync profile, and in addition I ensure that the paper type is correctly specified in the printer's settings (and I also deselect colour managment in the printer settings).
    Does this sound right ? I've noticed that even just a small mistake, e.g. forgetting to select the paper type correctly, can lead to extreme colour differences.
    At the end of the day I'm not despertate for perfect colour in my home proofs, but I am trying to get them to look approximately right. It's not uncommon for me to end up with extreme colour problems. I can't print anything from iPhoto without it coming out too dark and with a blue tint. Luckily, printing from Aperture seems to produce better results (I just wish I knew why).
    Surely it shouldn't be this hard to set up a basic Epson photo printer on the Mac.
    If anyone knows of an idiot proof guide to home photo printing using high end applications on Mac OS X, feel free to point me in that direction.

    I suspect it really is intricate as opposed to hard. But here's my "Dummies/Idiot's Guide ...." for you.
    The difficulties start by reminding ourselves that color is perceptual. Our retina sends a signal to our brain, and our brain translates that to a color. But, who knows what color you perceive as blue compared with myself if we both stand side by side and look up at a blue sky. we've just been told since a baby that it's blue, but our brain does it's magic and we "see" what it tells us. This translation issue between retina and perceived image is behind much color-blindness ... a difficulty in perceiving a color difference.
    Since we can't "standardize" our brains (well not anytime soon), what can we standardize that can reduce variance in our actual and perceived perception?
    Perception is 9/10's of the Law:
    Ever taken your laptop outside? When you can actually see the image due to the relative brightness of the outside to indoors, did you notice that colors seemed different? Your eye is adjusting to the ambient light, and your brain gets in on the act. Your brain decides that the brightest light source is essentially "white" and so tricks us. That's why we can take a photo inside under tungsten light, and what looked white to us as we took the shot comes out as yellow-orange. Quantum Physics time: Tungsten releases "light" (electromagnetic radiation) at this frequency when electrons that had been bumped up to higher energy states (by us supplying power from the on/off switch) fall back to a lower energy state and give off or 'emit" a packet of energy comprising the difference between those two states.
    Halogen headlights look brighter, but also whiter than tungsten headlights. That's because the radiation they emit is somewhat bluer. Xenon headlights are even more blue biased.
    The sun gives off light from a whole collection of different elements, but by and large it is yellow/red. However, there is lashings and lashings of it compared to a tungsten bulb, and our poor, overworked brain is left to cope figuring out brightness vs. whiteness. Our brains do OK, but they do it by tricking us rather than science.
    Home is where the heart of the problem is:
    So, OK, we've taken some photos, and pressed this button to "auto white balance" or selected a "white balance" that tells the camera that although white isn't really white, pretend that it is, since our brain is also pretending. Of course, if we forget to tell our camera this, we have to tell Aperture or PS CS2.
    But, sat there in front of our screen, what are we really seeing? Well, we are not seeing just the displayed image, no oh no. That would be too simple! No, our brains are passionate about their environment. What's the lighting? Fluorescent (I hope not), halogen, tungsten? This matters as our eyes/brain will calibrate to more than just the on screen image. What wall colors exist? Blue, red, green, off-white? Those refceted colors are going to fool our brain into believing that the image on screen has a tint. This is why Aperture's window is all gray, and photo professionals strongly suggest image editing is performed in an all gray room, with as "white" a light source as possible (halogen vs. tungsten, tungsten vs. fluorescent). BTW. I dislike fluorescents as all the bulbs seem to have hideously different colors, and age badly across time. That plus the rather unattractive greenish tints they give skin tones puts me over the edge.
    Oh, and no desklights with their nice pool of incident light or other effect lighting. Save that for the living room. This room is to reduce the trickery that your brain can throw at you. So, nice uniform, diffused lighting.
    Watching you watching me:
    But if we're now living in our nice gray world, ready to edit those wonderful images that we used the right white balance for when shooting, what next?
    Calibrating your monitor means you standardize against those who wrote a color profile for the printer, the paper or who will be printing images for you. Your image should look the same on someone elses monitor as it does on yours. That's step 1.
    However, displayed color is also perceptual. CRT's render color differently IMO to LCD's. Both are transmissive, but brightness differs and perhaps more importantly, what is color? Outside, our eye saw all the different wavelengths it was capable of sensing and passed the relative intensity values per wavelength to our brainiac computer. Not so in our digital scanner or camera. In computer technology, color is rendered as a triangular space represented by a dot at each apex ... one red, one blue and one green. Those point "phosphors" in CRT vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and to the standard required. Close but no cigar. The electronics and guns also do not track perfectly linearly from pure black (no signal) to pure white (max. output of a phosphor of equal intensity to the others). This is called gray-scale tracking and unless it is near perfect, you can see green or blue shifts in color at the black end or white end etc.
    Uh oh, that white question again. Come to that, how do I know it's the same white that I set my camera to when I shot? Well, we don't really wiothout setting to some standard. It's not that each phosphor isn't emitting, it's the balance across them at our determined highest brightness (white) that needs to be set. D65 is often quoted in TV's, representing a color temperature of 6500Kelvin (deepest reds are low temperature emmissions and brightest blues are the highest temperatures).
    Now LCD's don't have phosphors illuminated by a stream of electrons, and they came long after we had developed pretty decent CRT technologies. So being lazy humans, we lifted the ideas and terms No phosphors, but they do have red, green and blue LCD's (each a sub-pixel, and the three combined are a pixel)triggered by an electronic signal. so, why aren't they called LED panels? Well, LED's are not very bright, and we need a mechanism to make them brighter. Those quaint watches came to the rescue ... LCD's or Liquid Crystal Displays. You know, those ugly greeny/gray, low contrast watches. Yes, that's the one. Sandwich those colorful but dim LED's between an LCD, and use the LCD to switch on/off a powerful light ... rather light turbo charging a 4 cylinder motor to make it perform like a V8! The posh name was TFT-LCD (for Thin Film Transistor LCD). Now we have a bright, flat screen. Yahoo!
    But backlighting of the panel is not always very uniform (look at colors around your screen for different flat colors at different intensities and you may see patchiness). Nor do LCD's behave exactly like phosphors from deepest black (impossible when you have to have a back light which is always on and which illuminates the whole panel of glass) to white. But why sweat this, when the LCD rarely conforms perfectly to the red, green, blue phosphor standards.
    BTW, it is the backlight that kills laptop battery life, not the LCD's themselves. Turing your brightness down as low as possible helps .... but I digress.
    So we buy calibration hardware and software, and calibrate our monitor to a ruler flat grayscale from pure black to pure white.
    And it looks bad.
    It is rather idiosyncratic of us that a perfectly linear gray scale can leave us perceiving a lack of contrast. So, we distort the "gamma" value to provide more punchiness. Apple vs. Windoze computers tended to have different gamma's out of the box. Apple uses a gamma of 1.8, a rather flater, more pastel effect that, if my knowledge is correct, translates/translated better to the characteristics of the professional CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) four color printing processes used by offset litho printers. Windoze uses a gamma of 2.2, a punchier, gutsy, in-your-face effect. Marketing? I don't know. But it does appear a better match for RGB (our computer friendly Red, Green, Blue) inks used in inkjet printers.
    So we calibrate our monitors, and then deliberately decalibrate them (if you will) to correspond to our output destinantion.
    A quick digression here.
    If our output is destined for print, what dos that mean to us? Well, part is covered above. But what about web, or tv viewing from DVD? Ahh hah! Gotcha!
    We can control our calibration. We can even calibrate ourselves to external print shops, knowing that our image will appear 99% or more the same on their monitors as it does on ours. And they will have calibrated their monitors to their printers and paper (more on this below). But what about Joe Public?
    Back to that color space.
    A 10 year old color tv, used moderately over the years, performs no way like a new color tv. The phosphors "age." even the backlights in LCS panels age. Age is represented by diminished light output, and grayscale tracking. So, our 10 year old tv cannot represent the wide color space it could when it was brand new. Worse, even if we'd left our 10 year old tv in its box and just opened it, it would not be as capable as a brand new design. TV's are actually held down to 1950's standards rather than up for this very reasson, but the same is somewhat true of computer monitors. We don't know the age, quality or even the color calibration and room environment of our web browsers monitor. So, a much smaller "web safe" color space (sRGB ... standard - or small - RGB) was introduced. This restricted space should be renderable on most old monitors, though gross end consumer calibration issues will obviously remain uncontrollable.
    Meanwhile, we want to keep as big a color space as possible ... difficult to put back in what's been taken out. (Set your camera to "Adobe RGB" please right now.) Working in the biggest color space allows us to target any lesser color space with relative ease. And some of these restricted color spaces belong to printers ... which of course, differ from printer to printer, (probably more associtated with inks to inks) and paper to paper ....

  • Anyone getting print colour problems after Mac 10.6.8 Update?

    Since June 29, when we downloaded the latest Apple OS X update, prints on all four papers I use - and have custom profiles for - have developed a green cast out of our Epson R1900. Can't help thinking that this caused by the Epson Printer Software Update (# 2.7) that was part of that Apple update. There are reams of complaints over on the Photoshop Mac forum about this update causing printers to stop completely; but none citing colour problems.
    Seems complicated - according to Apple - by the fact that the Epsom driver that Update 2.7 replaced, will not work with OS X 10.6.8. To back track one has to back track the complete OS to 6.7. Something to do with Snow Leopard being made ready for Lion.
    Oh, and yes - I have recalibrated my screen since the update; and yes, have exhaustively run all the maintenance tasks on the R1900.

    Seems we have sorted the problem, and I thought it might warrant us sharing that - particularly as it was less than obvious. We use four paper types and have pre-sets for each in the Print Module. Actually eight presets as the four are duplicated for two paper sizes. Each pre-set includes a custom-made ICC profile for the paper/printer (an Epson R1900).
    Following the Apple Software Update to OS X 10.6.8, there appeared a noticeable blue/green cast over all newly made prints. Nothing in the Lr3 printing process appeared to change; and so the conclusion was that something had changed in the new Epson printer driver that accompanied the update. Some time and effort was expended with Apple investigating a backtrack to 10.6.7, which proved fruitless for too complicated a reason to go into here.
    Left with seeking an alternative answer, we deleted the printer and reinstalled using the original disk; opting to take the offered driver update. This resulted in driver 6.20 being loaded - the same as had been causing all the grief. However, when we came to check the Print Settings dropdown - after specifying the appropriate preset - to make sure it specified 'no colour correction', it was obvious that the ICC profile had not been recognised, although the Page Settings for the preset had. Each box in the dropdown merely contained the default - plain paper, Colorsync, etc. Manually entering all the criteria in Print Settings - as should have been picked up from the preset - produced a perfect print. Perfect that is compared to one printed prior to download 10.6.8.
    The odd thing about this - and the one that left us clueless - was that before deleting and re-installing the printer - the Print Settings dropdown reflected all of the criteria of the preset. Everything looked normal, except that is for the hair being pulled out by those wasting time, paper and ink after a solution.

  • Iphone 6 screen display and brightness problem

    hello everybody, I'm an iPhone user and I'm currently using iPhone 6 for couple of months. lastly from 1 week ago I'm having problem in my screen display. i always set my brightness to auto and whenever i use my phone in sunny light which means brightness goes to almost 95% level after using it for a while my display goes suddenly dim and i check brightness level it still is at almost 95% level and when i screw to low level it responds normally but when increasing brightness level it still remains dim then i go inside my room and wait few minutes then again brightness respond normally which means when i increase brightness level it gives bright clear display again.. plz give me any suggestion why is this happening...thanks
    iphone 6 , 64 GB,  iOS version: 8.1.2

    First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.
    If the phone works as expected, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
    If it still does not work, this could be a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer.

    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?

  • Unable to print PDF files to HP Colour Laser Printer

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a problem with printing PDF files to a network printer. The printer was purchased recently and is a HP Colour LaserJet CP3525n all in one, printer/photocopier etc. Other documents such as Word documents work, so I don't think its a straight forward issue...
    I can print PDF file to other printers, so I know the PDF files themselves are not at fault.
    When I try and print to that printer, I just get pages and pages of funny characters coming up on the page... It doesn't matter what sort of PDF file I print either...
    Are there any settings I can change that may help me resolve the issue. The printer is networked and shared amongst 4 people.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
    I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations).  I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
    Still had the same behavior:  Reader will not print.  I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either.  I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either.  In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.)  No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
    I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9:  printing works fine now.
    There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments.    (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)

    Hello
    I'm having a reoccurring problem with my HP Photosmart 6510 all-in-one. The printer will stay on for about five minutes, give or take, and proceed to flash a blue screen (on printer display) with error code B864F472
    Next the screen displays a "Printer Error" message followed by "Please turn printer off and then on" with all lights on the printer flashing.
    It will display this until I cycle the power and it repeats the same behavior after about five minutes.
    I've searched extensively for a solution and have tried multiple things. Such as:
    -Unplugging from back of printer and wall, 30 sec wait then plug back in.
    -Clean cartridge and print header contacts.
    -Set static IP.
    -Printed various reports from service mode, No errors, Excellent signal strength.

    Is your monitor calibrated? For one thing, the current macs usually come with the monitor set to be very, very bright. Try reducing the brightness of the monitor and see if that helps. Also, be sure that you aren't double-managing color. Start by trying with the color management option in PSE set to Printer Manages Color, then make all your color, ink, paper, etc. choices in the OS X print dialog that opens AFTER you click Print in the Print window in PSE. If you decide then to try letting PSE manage color, make sure you turn color management off in the OS X print window.

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.
