PIM/printing question

I'm using PSE4 and upgrading today to PSE 7.
When I print from an original jpeg file opened in the Organizer my prints are great. When I resize or edit the file and save as Tif and print, the printing is way off and I have to further edit to get the color correct.
I use the same printer/paper profiles. Use my Epson driver with ICM no color adjustments.
I believe the PIM data is being lost somewhere. I'm sure puzzled on this one. Can anyone explain?
Thanks for your help.

When I print from the Editor I use either an Epson R1800 or Epson R200. Use Color Management from the print screen and choose the Epson paper and relative coloremetric. I set the Epson printer setting to the proper paper size, etc. and ICM and no color adjustment.
My output is generally a pretty good match with the screen.
I calibrate the monitor with a Huey and I have a Sony LCD monitor.
Then sometimes I'm puzzled at the output..and have to do a lot of tweaking to get the output I want. I generally print in matte with Epson inks and Epson Ultra Premium Matte paper. I have downloaded the latest drivers, etc. from Epson.
I know a lot of people have this problem, but I sure with I understood it better.
Thanks for your help.

Image Printing Question

Hello,
Bottom line summary: How do I use the Media and Quality setting to get a good image?
I have an image printing question for an HP 8600 Office. I am trying to get a decent quality image to print
on regular paper. I gather that I will not get the quality of a photo printer. I gather I'm supposed to use
HP glossy paper. Please read on ...
Images come out grainy (rastery) when embedded from an MSPaint project, and if I use Word. However when I printed just an image from image viewer it came like a photo ... but I can't remember what I did. It definitely is capable of printing better. My cartridges all check out, etc. I did the Print Quality Report ... I sure wish I could get that quality when I print other things.
I tried messing with different settings from the Print - Preference. The Quality (Best, Normal, Draft) doesn't effect the outcome. I tried going into Print - Preference - Media and it makes a difference. I can't figure out which is the best setting for plain paper ... but it's not plain paper. The image rendering algorithm appears to be different for different Media settings. I also tried setting the Advanced Resolution to Maximum DPI. I haven't been totally methodical about this as I was in a rush.
I see that the printer is being "smart", perhaps a little too smart.
So my question is multipart:
- Is there documenation on the what the Print - Preference - Media settings do?
- How do I get it to not use grainy/rastery image method, but use the nicer photo method?
- Should I print Maximum DPI?
Thanks,
- Dave -

Hi @DaveGold , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I hope you had a great holiday!
I see you're looking into photo setup options. I'd like to help!
First I'd recommend this document on Changing Print Settings in Windows 7. This document should show all the settings you're looking into.
Also, another thing to keep in mind, when you select 'best print quality' and 'photo paper'. It will only be as good as the source image.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Before I buy: speed and printer questions

I am looking to buy a new TC 500gb version to replace my linksys WRT54G. To upgrade the wireless router as well as start a backup system I have yet to ever initiate.
Two questions/concerns come up:
#1) After the initial back up to TC I understand there are hourly incremental back ups - Can that time interval be adjusted, and how long does that back up take (I do now add much data/ files to my main Comp usually) also during those incremental back ups does that affect the computer much, such as if I am playing an internet game, will I lag out while it is backing up every hour?
#2) Setting up a printer through usb port to be accessed by my home network. My HP C6180 all in one works fine being seen through the aged, but battle tested linksys, any reason it shouldn't work with the TC?
Thanks for any insights you might have in this regard.
I have cable isp access, My Main Comp is where the cable modem and TC would be, I have a G4, a G5 and a MBP scattered around the house accessing via wireless.

Hi Steven, welcome to the discussions.
After the initial backup (recommend that you use ethernet for this), TC will backup incrementally every hour assuming you will be using Time Machine. There is no way to alter this with Apple software, but a number of users have reported satisfaction with Time Machine Editor, http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/, which will allow you to schedule backups whenever you would like. This might be a good solution if you notice slow downs with other devices during a backup session.
Backups should be relatively quick, but be aware that very small changes in some programs (like Entourage, vmFusion, Parallels) require the entire database to be backed up, not just the small change that might have been made.
The printing question is the most difficult as the boards are busy with users who are having troubles in this regard. Perhaps some other users have used the same HP and can comment. Bear in mind that if your HP is compatible, only the printing function will work through the network. Scanning and other advanced functions are not supported.

HP C6180 AIO Printer question

I've gotten one of the above and love it's being aboe the print wirelessly. My issue is with the drivers. It seems that I can get but one brint quality and don't have the ability to opt for b&W or Color.
Am I missing something in the settings and the software? I've checked HP's site and they are no help.
Any Help will be appreciated.

Hello John,
I finally got the 6180, an upgrade from a 2210 model. It still worked wonderfully, but the times just caught up with it.
About the 6180: compaired to the previous one it is absolutely wonderful. I've had no real problems. It fit into the network like a champ. The Linksys Router went south and there was no problem setting it up on usb. I could have set it up with the eithernet, but the usb was more handy. As for the speed. I've never had to do 32 pages, so not sure if it would do it in 60 seconds. It is very fast one the economy modes. Fax to email fine, though I have question on how to get it to send a document as an attachment in .mail/apple mail. It sends as an attachement in Entourage. Couldn't find anything about it in .mail preferences. If anyone can help with that, please do.
In short, John, I love it.
Larry Jay
Does the 6180 perform as advertised? 32PPM? Scan to
Mac? Print docs from the Web & Preview without issue?
All via the Airport as a wireless server? How's the
print quality now?
Leaving an HP 6110 that has all of these issues that
were HP driver/software problems. I wasn't happy with
HP ignoring the issues and vowed I wouldn't buy
another, but if this is all correct, I'll probably
reconsider.

Printing questions on AIO 8500, choice of paper and settings..

hi,
so i recently purchased the officeje all-in-one 8500. i installed the printer and was going to use hp primium photo paper to test out some picture printing. but when it came time to choose what paper type it was, i couldn't find one that match perfectly.. there was 'Advance Photo Paper' that was not it, 'HP Photo Paper Matte'.. that was not it. 'HP Primium Inject Paper', that doesn't seem it. what do i choose?
my 2nd question is what is the best setting to use for best printing? i only try a couple sheets. i didn't want to waste ink trying every possible combination. but using 'Advance Photo Paper' and best setting, the picture turned out SUPER dark. print quality was great but everything, especially the dark colors, turned out super dark. using same paper, and 'normal' quality setting, the print quality was crap, but the color was more true to the actual picture color.
any help, suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
k

IPAD and UPdate to Airprint Printer question Help Please?

I have an HP 6500 printer that I utilize with my MacbookPro (from 2007) and it operates just fine wirelessly using WiFi at home. I did note though that my iPod cannot print to the printer as the printer IS NOT AIRPRINT equipped.
MY QUESTION?
I am considering purchasing an IPAD MINI (RETINA)equipped with KeyNote, Pages, etc., and am wondering If I invest in an AIRPRINT equipped printer in order to enable printing from the IPAD MINI, will I also still be able to print from my Macbook Pro (2007) which is not equipped with anything that interfaces with AIRPRINT to my new AIRPRINT printer? In other words, is this reversed engineered to allow printing from an older laptop to a brand new AIRPRINT printer?
Hope you can help, so I don't waste money on a new printer and an IPAD only to find out I can no longer use my LapTop (MacbookPro) to print.
Thanks you for any help.
Charles

Thanks, Jim.
Going to give it a try, Now, after reading all the reviews on the various HP and Epson model all-in-one printers, my next chore will be to make the actual selection. It seems that there as many people who love each unit as there are who hate each unit. Confusing, but I will digest it over the next several days and make a choice.
Thanks again,
Charles

A Few LR4 Printing Questions

Have a few questions pertaining to the new features in v4:
1. In the past we created layouts with all the page and print settings embedded. Is the recommended workflow now to just create the layout with the page settings and then create a saved print collection with the print settings?
2. If you create a virtual copy and put that through soft proofing and make settings, is the paper profile you used for those settings embedded in the virtual copy?
3. If the paper profile is embedded in your proof copy and you accidently add it to a print collection which has a different profile specified, which profile setting takes precedence (or do you get an error alert)?
Thanks!
Jim

Hi Jim,
1. The collection resulting from saved print helps you with custom package: because it saves the images to go in your custom pages as well. Like a snapshot. Before you had the layout/template and the images still separate to drag them again in ... at least that was all I had achieved previously.
2. If you make a "proof copy" (not just any virtual copy), yes.
3. I remember from another post in beta-forum, no own hands-on experience: You can easily create hurtful contradictions by that. Print collection profile takes precedence, and there is no warning.

Photo/print question

Another likely "dumb question" from a rookie ID user:
I've imported a photo and the color looks off (on my screen) -- should I be concerned about photo print quality?
The photo seems to look OK when printed off my printer, but it will eventually be printed via some type of offset printing (as I understand it)
P.S. I haven’t researched this much, so if there are answers out there and you can point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it.

The only way you can come close to knowing what the color will look like is to calibrate and profile the monitor (use a colorimeter), and preview using the appropriate output space as the proof setup.
You absolutely should ask to see a printed contract proof of the job from the printer -- not a PDF or JPEG proof, because they will look different on your monitor unless the calibration is done -- that they guarantee to match in the actual print run.

IPhoto 6 card printing question

Hi, this may be a dumb question, but I spent over an hour and I couldnt figure it out.
Ok, so I made a card in iPhoto 6, size 7'' x 10''. It is a double-sided card. So, I print one side, feed the paper in again, and print the other side.
The problem is, I can't set the card to print centered on the paper, and thus, printing it double sided and cropping the paper will force me to cut off some of the card, and the fold wont line up right. I need this to print centered so the margins will be even, and thus, I can print double-sided properly.
Thanks for any help/response
PowerBook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have a similar problem, & am waiting for this to be answered properly by someone who can help allof us.
Using iPhoto5 (Dec. 2005) I was able to print my photos to 7x10 greeting cards all properly centered on the card -to then fold it in half for a greeting card. Now in iPhoto 6 (the same settings as used in iPhoto5) do not print out properly centered on the card. In preview it shows properly, but it does not come out that way. I am using the same printer - Epson R200 - as with iPhoto5). Another person has a Lexmark & can't get the right print out setting with iPhoto 6 either.

Preview/Printer question

Hey guys,
I don't know if this is the proper forum to ask this, but if ANYONE can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!! This may sound like a petty thing to ask, but I am taking a class and the professor is expecting us to print almost 30 pages worth of slides for notes to bring to class. (I would handwrite them all down in my notebook but she goes over her lectures too darn fast for me to write every word down.)
SO my question is this: How do I change the color preference on Preview before printing?? Some of classmates in my class can print them on grayscale/black and white, assuming they are NOT Mac or Apple owners, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this! It won't open w/ anything else, bc I thought if I could "trick" it to open on Pages or Keynote I can print in black and white to save ink. But it won't and this can't go on throughout the semester or else my printer ink will die soon!
Any help/suggestions?
Thanks!
PS. If I should post this elsewhere, let me know. I wasn't sure where to ask this question other than here since I have the Leopard on my computer right now.

Hi Luce, this is fine likely.
Depends on Printer & Drivers, but look for something like these in the Print Dialog...
Then op at Presets, choose Save As... B&W Only.

Basic Security & form printing questions.

Hi, I am not an Oracle Forms developer yet, just gathering info, but I have 2 probably simple questions for you forms experts out there that maybe you can help me with.
Lets say that this new application will have 10 users and I create a main menu with 5 categories. Can forms allow me to give 4 users read/viewable rights to, lets say 3 categories,instead of all 5 categories? Bsically I just need to know if it offers some kind of security that I can create for each individual user.
The next question is if I create 10 forms that is supposed to 'retrieve' data, but I need to also have these 10 forms print out 'without' the data. Do I need to create 20 forms, or is 10 sufficient and oracle would allow me to print the forms out either with or without data.
Thank you in advance
null

There is menu-level security, meaning that only users that have certain roles may execute certain menu choices.
There's no special security at form level, apart from the database level security.
If a database user does not have insert, update & delete priviledges on a datablock in the form (but has the select priviledge), then, he won't be able to change the data in that block using the form, and if he'd try to, he'd get an error when trying to commit the changes.
Well, you may use set_block_property(your_block, update_allowed, property_true) or set_block_property(your_block, update_allowed, property_true) in the when new-form-instance trigger to make the form behave as you will when opened by a given database user.

InDesign printing question - help really needed!

Maybe an easy question maybe not!
Usually here at work our printing is out-sourced, but for a project I'm currently working on I need to print a few bits on the work printer [for the client]. So, I've got a black page [4 colour black] with large red text - when I send to print, obviously the black prints first; leaving white gaps for the text; red prints next but due to slight movement [I guess] I always seem to get what appears to be a tiny white outlines around sections of the text [where the red hasn't printed exactly in the gaps left when applying the black].
Just wondering if there is any way around this, to minimise the issue, in InDesign. Or is this due to the printer used?
Cheers in advance

I'm reading the post to look something like this (0|100|100|0 red on a field of 65|50|50|100 black):
http://www.zenodesign.com/scripts/redonK.png
If I hide the black channel it looks like this:

If I simulate the black plate off register, it looks like this:

In this case you couldn't get white because there's no white on any of the plates.

Urgent Print Question

Hello Everyone,
I need help, fast.
I am begining work on a file that is supose to be W-600cm x H-150cm.
My question is what DPI per cm must I choose ?
I have been working with business cards and other small designs on 250 DPI, but never on such a large file.
I want the quality of the design to be great, what is the best DPI for such a large size ?
Regards,
Ezio

Depends mostly on 2 factors
the print process used
How far away is the viewing distance
Best to ask that question of your printer, they will glady give you an answer. Vinyl banners are about that size we have done at 100 dpi, but they hang high on a building.
