Photo print quality from the HP EVEN 5532

I have tried a number of times to print off a photo from my Envey 5532 printer, Using 6 x 4 sizes glossy paper. The out come is what I can only call a disaster, what comes out from the printer is a total mess, it looks as if to much ink has been sprayed and the colours have all run into each other

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

    Yes.  I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website.  I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end.  Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple.  Typical he-said, she-said...
    Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

  • Controlling print quality from the touchscreen on the MG6320

    Hello, I have a two-part question. I'm interested in controlling print quality from the touchscreen display.
    1. Can I set print quality (i.e. - choose draft/fast mode) from the touchscreen display?
    2, if I can and do set it there, will my selection apply to all future print jobs until I change the setting again, or will it just apply to the one print job in the queue at the time, etc?
    I hope my questions are clear. Many thanks for your help.
    Solved!

    Hi Ralp51,
    The print quality of documents printed from your computer is controlled be the printer driver on the computer.  The quality cannot be adjusted from the PIXMA MG6320 itself.

  • Improving photo print quality

    I had to delete CS3 and re-install it and now photos printed on my Epson picture mate do not look good.  I had this problem before, but don't remember the exact solution.  I could not find specific instructions for getting the best photo print quality by searching in the forums.  I would think this would be a big topic.  We all want to print the best quality pictures and once the instructions are well documented, I would think they would be easy to find.  Could someone help me out?  I am using Leopard.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    If it's just a color setting, you shouldn't have to download anything.
    I'm not sure if it's the same method in CS4 as in CS2, which I'm using, but you could just open Photoshop, select Edit from the top of the screen, and click on Color Settings…
    In there, you can choose one of the presets from the "Settings" drop-down menu: Monitor Color, North America General Purpose 2, North America Prepress 2, etc. Or you can manually select from various CMYK, RGB, Gray, and Spot working spaces below that. Just use whichever works best for you.
    Regarding not finding what you're looking for easily, I have a feeling it has something to do with lack of specifics. Your original post didn't really mention in what way your photos looked bad. If it's a color thing, are your photos too dark? Too light? Too blue/yellow? Or is it, instead, a resolution issue (too pixellated and/or blurry)? "My photos look bad" doesn't really provide enough info.

  • HT1296 I have a Voucher that needs to be printed. I completed a survey on my iPad but obviously, I cannot print it from the iPad. How can I transfer it to my pc, please?

    I have a Voucher on my iPad screen that needs to be printed. I completed a survey on my iPad but obviously, I cannot print it from the iPad. How can I transfer it to my pc, please?

    You can also take a screen shot of your screen displaying the voucher.  Press and release the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The screenshot is added to your Camera Roll album.
    Note: On an iPad without a camera, screenshots are added to the Saved Photos album.
    Then, you can transfer the photo to your computer as described in Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Or you can email the photo to yourself.

  • Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

    Hi,
    why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

    Hi Ghallsa,
    I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all.  I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space.  You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails.  There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
    If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind.  But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage.  This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less.  It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
    good luck,

  • Print quality from Android Adobe Reader

    Hello
    Last night I decided to print a PDF attachment from my phone using Cloud Print. I have an Epson ink jet printer connected to my Windows 7 computer. When I tried, I was disappointed to find that the document printed in draft mode and was not of sufficient quality to use so ended up printing from the Windows Adobe Reader. If I were to print an email from Gmail on my phone, I do not have this problem. Draft mode is not the default setting for my printer driver. Is there any way to set the print quality for the Android Adobe Reader or for it to use the default setting for the printer?
    Thank you.

  • FAQ: Can I edit my photos in revel from the browser or android interface?

    Q: Can I edit my photos in revel from the browser or android interface?
    A: At this point (Feb 2013) you can not edit the photos in Revel unless you are using the Mac, iPhone, or iPad app version of Revel. We are continuing to add new features and intend to add new platforms and file types in the future.
    If you have the app loaded on an iPad, iTouch, or Mac, see this  link to learn how to edit:
    FAQ: How do I edit photos in Revel?

    There isn't an Aperture or iPhoto app for the iPad (it comes with a basic Photos apps which is effectively just a viewer), and the photo editing apps that do exist are fairly basic : cropping, brightness, rotation, straightening etc e.g. the free Photoshop Express app from Adobe (which also has an in-app purchase option). You can use the iPad for reviewing photos but if you tend to do extensive editing then it's probably not suitable.

  • C4650 Will only print black from the internet. MS Word and PS will not print in black but has color.

    Before you think I just haven't tried anything, let me run you down with the whole lot:
    -HP PhotoSmart C4650
    -Windows Vista
    -Problem: My printer won't print in black --but-- this only goes for Microsoft applications it seems. If I have a page of text in black, when printing from MS Word, the page comes out blank, however the printer is actually "printing" back and forth. IF, however I print from my browser, from email, or a webpage, picture, google docs, etc, black prints *just fine.* So far this holds true for both MS Word and PhotoShop CS5. Issue: Black ink simply doesn't print from any program other than a browser.
    -NO. The cartridge isn't empty. NO. It's not incompatible. NO. The cartridge head isn't dry and I am not going to soak it in water. This is a new cartridge. It's the official HP brand.
    I've done a search and I've found that a few people seem to have this "only print from the internet" problem, however none of these was solved. The only advice that an HP support member gave to one of them is to "install XP service pack 2" however.. I am not running XP. A few other people get the opposite issue where they can only print color from the internet and not from the computer's applications.
    I don't know much about printers but it sounds like some kind of driver issue. Yes. I've already searched for, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Whenever I have to print something, I now try to open it up in my firefox just so I can be able to print black. It's quite the hassle. Almost seems like some kind of ploy to cause people to buy new ink cartridges when it's not really empty.
    -Yes, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.
    -Updated my windows (although idk how that would help. But I know it's going to be a suggestion anyway.)
    Is there any known fix or should i chuck it off the balcony and go get a lexmark?

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    I updated to an iphone5 and only a few of my photos came in from the photostream how ever all of the are still on my iPad?! How do I get the rest of the photos over to my iphone5?!

    First of all, photo stream only saves up to 1000 photos and up to 30 days before they are deleted.  The only thing you can do at this point is to sync the photos from the ipad to a computer and then sync to the iphone 5.
