Prepare for print from web design
Hi
think yet again I've confused myself - ok not difficult!
I've prepared a logo for a clients website which is shown at the top as RGB
The client now wants to use it elsewhere and has asked for a 15cm * 12cm version for printing.
So I created a new document selected printingstyle and set the size to 15 * 12 and using the left arrow clicked on my original and draggedit into the new blank document.
Nothing is placed I still see the empty page.
What step have I missed
thanks
Ian
Select all (RGB document)
copy
Edit >> Paste in Front (CMYK document)
Yo may need to do so me small tweak colors as going from RGB to CMYK some colors may be less saturated.

Question about file preparation for print from Photoshop
I need to figure out the best method for saving for print from Photoshop. Here are the things that are confusing me:
Problem: When I create a design in Photoshop, I'm left with a few options on how to save my document. I would like to know which of the following is the best method:
Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best route to take?
Method 2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause extremely long print times. Is this true?
Another problem I've encountered with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside from this one little thing).
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all) at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
Thank you to anyone who can help clear this up for me. I read so much inconsistant information online that I don't know what to think anymore.Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method
worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the
recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this

Always embed fonts, but then again, Photoshop can't until you save a format that can like PDF. Some fonts do not allow you to do so. Outline the fonts or convert to shapes. Better yet, stop building text documents in Photoshop for print. It's generally a bad idea for many reasons like rejected jobs and lost money and time.

Problems arise if you want someone to edit the files, but the same goes for a font that is missing. As far as the print slow down times - it depends upon the RIP and how complex the file is. Maybe or maybe not be an issue. After all, text in Photoshop is using a font as a vector shape layer and not a font in the traditional sense.

A paragraph? Please attend a school that teaches you the basics of design in graphics. It will do you a great service to get more studies under your belt. Photoshop text is for graphical art not type setting.
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all)
at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
It depends upon the resolution of the output device. The higher the resolution of the output the worse your text will be. -
Firefox 3.6.8 not compatible with new HP 4-in-1 for printing from web - any solution?
I have installed a new HP printer-copier-scanner-fax machine on a new Dell laptop (Model: Inspiron 15R, with Windows 7). This HP product (Model: CQ521A) has the capability of printing from the web. But at the time of installation I have received the warning that this device is not compatible for use with Firefox 3.6.8. Perhaps this is because Firefox 3.6.8 was developed later than this product, but does Firefox have a solution?
Is your problem with the HP Smart Web Printing program, specifically?
''Compatibility with specific programs shouldn't be an issue unless unless the installer is trying to install something into a not-compatible program - like SWP installs an addon into Firefox, and IE.''
This page indicates SWP only supports IE 6, 7, &8 - http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/smart-web-printing.html - but I have seen in this forum that other Firefox users have been able to use SWP with Firefox 3.6.x versions, once they got a Firefox 3.6.x compatible version of SWP.
''Edit: I just downloaded the SmartWeb Printing application from here - http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/smart-web-printing.html?jumpid=ex_r602_go/swp - and opened it. I don't see any files within that package that add's support for Firefox. It looks like HP doesn't support Firefox any longer. Unless they have another download page that I didn't find.''
Or, see the HP Web Printing support forum for an answer.

Using a Dell Dimension E310 with Windows XP and Dell photo 924 Print/Scan/Copier. When printing from web pages on the browser the right portion of the print is cut off. It appears that the "folders" frame on the left side of the page is always printing with the page, which cuts off the print on the right side of the main page frame by the width of the "folders" frame. When I select the print command, the choice for selecting a particular frame to print is on the drop down menu, but is not highlighted for use. We have had this problem with Firefox for some time. Printing from IE or Word, etc. does not produce the same problem. We like Firefox otherwise. What is the fix?
You're right: most web pages do not use frames, so that option usually is not available.
I don't know why a page that printed just the main content before would change to printing with useless sidebars. Can you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode and see whether it prints/previews correctly there?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it? If so, the difference usually is caused by one of your add-ons. You can restart the regular way and disable all non-essential add-ons here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
In particular, check the Extensions category. -
Cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1

Printing from my email account (Cox) is OK
System Windows VistaWhen my wife updated Firefox to version 7.0.1 she was no longer able to print items from the web such as coupons. She can print from her email (Cox) account.
She is running Vista.
When I updated to Firefox 7.0.1, I did not have a problem. I am running Vista also.
Tried using the Firefox help page but no help so far.
I did notice that on her computer in the "Plugins" for Firefox that HP Smart Web Printing is now disabled and is not compatible with Firefox 7.0.1. She had no problems until she did the update. -
Arranging the placement and order of photos for print or web
This is something I was expecting with the first Lightroom and it still seems to be clunky in 2.3...
Basically, there doesn't seem to be a way we can simply click and drag photos we want to be together and have them in orders of our choosing. The closest I've been able to find is when in picture package mode in the Print section. What is frustrating is that when I select most other templates, I can't just move the photos I want grouped together to where I'd like them to be. On the flip side, when in the picture package mode and I populate the frames by dragging photos to them, unlike contact sheet/grid mode, one can't move the photo around within that frame...
My understanding of Lightroom was that it made it easy for photographers to deal with their photos. For me, I like to be able to just move and group fluidly for print and web to see how pictures complement and flow regardless of tag, filename, or random selected order.
I can't imagine I'm the only one with this frustration, is there a remedy?Thanks for that everyone you were right! I was being super-DUper sMart and Brilliant there and had only been trying to re-arrange within the layout window of the Print and Web areas. I think I was just assuming I was having the same trouble from Lightroom 1 and just stopped trying since it seemed the files either never moved or didn't stick (can't remember now). In any case, Thank you!

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.
Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.
My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
Any assistance would be appreciated.That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam.
Best regards,
erico

When I try to print from web page I get a dialogue box "Printer not activated - error code 30" followed by a dialogue box "An unknown error occurred while printing". The printer works on websites when I use Internet Explorer. Also, if I copy the web page and paste it into a Word document, I can print a copy. This issue just started this week; I have not encountered this problem prior to this week. Please advise.
What does that error message say?

IBook for Graphic and Web Design
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying my sister's iBook (since she doesn't really use it). I was talking to a mac rep about using the iBook for Graphic and Web Design purposes and I wanted to get other people's opinions on how Adobe Creative Suite and Dreamweaver have performed in other people's iBooks.
Thanks!Running a lot of applications simultaneously, or a few high processing type applications such as Adobe's is what takes up RAM. OS X utilizes Hard Drive available space to make up for memory (RAM) deficiencies. This will "slow down" a system's ability to manage the files. So if you like to multiple applications opened at the same time, buy more RAM. Personally, 1 gb ought to be the minimum for today's systems.
By contrast, a computer's processor, including logic board, video board, etc. are the engine of the system. The iBook has a small engine. So no matter how much RAM you feed it, it's still going to operate like a small engine. If you want more processing power, you would need to purchase a more powerful notebook (eg Power Book) or a more processor oriented machine such as the Intel iMac or Mac Pro. -
PDFs from InDesign for print then web?
The workflow is supposed to be: we simply take the PDF files which were created from InDesign and then sent to our printer, and give them to our web service company who has our online edition finished by morning. But we're upgrading our photo processing for the print edition, which results in overly bright photos for printing on newsprint. With a 48 page tiny-town newspaper, it would be a major problem to replace all of the photos in the layout with specially processed ones for web. But we need to have PDFs for our web service company that contain, richer, higher contrast photos for web.
Is there some trick other than manually processing new photos for every page and manually re-linking each one on every page? Maybe CS4 has some feature that makes this easy, i.e., automated web version of an InDesign layout, i.e., links to an alternate folder of photos just for a web version?
CS2 / Mac OS 10.4.11 / various Mac hardwareRGB-workflow is just a way to do things... You can do it in at least CS2, CS3 and CS4 softwares, propably with earlier versions too. It basically means that you adjust your images in some wide RGB gamut, like AdobeRGB, then save them without making CMYK conversion and place them to indesign layout as RGB images. When you export your PDF, you make that RGB-CMYK conversion to all images at once.
Normally people can use same adjustments for both web- and print images. When image is adjusted well, icc-profile that will be used for RGB-CMYK converion will take care of fine tuning like compensating midtones and Total Ink Limits...
In InDesign CS4 you can use Photoshop PSD images with adjustment layers. If you really have to make some adjustment that would be nice to get rid off in indesign, you may toggle visibility of those adjustment layers in InDesigns Object Layer Options tool.
I still suggest that you try to fix your workflow so that you don´t have to make any extra adjustments to images for printing after you have once placed them to indesign layout. It should be possible, millions of publishers do that every day... -
Have created a web design using Master Pages. 5 pages in all. When I try to create a proof with pdf or jpeg the result appears blank (or white). How do I create something that I can send my client?
Hello all,
I appreciate your willingness to help.
Did a test. Copy and pasted a page of my graphics into a new indd file and into a new master. New file works fine for exporting jpeg as well as pdf.
Must just be something wrong with the original. gremlins. No time to wonder why.
but....Thank you again. -
Color Shift in document being prepared for printer
This is about a book cover design being prepared to send to printer. It was on the back burner for a year. Synchronised color settings in Adobe Bridge to North American Prepress 2. Cleaning up palette (added unnamed colors and threw out unused ones). Converted all colors in palette to CMYK. A placed photo from Photoshop remains in RGB.
Two color warning dialog boxes have kept popping up:
"The RGB settings in this document are different than your current application color settings."
"The CMYK settings in this document are different than your current application color settings. "
I usually don't change what I don't understand because I'm afraid of a color shift.
At one point, however, I think I did: It suggested I change the RGB setting to Adobe RGB. I think I selected Adobe Working RGB. Since this is a document with print intent, I didn't think it mattered if I changed the RGB setting. I think it was previously sRGB. Seed right -- the Adobe RGB is more appropriate for print documents, right?
To make a long story short, the client is now complaining that the new PDF is different from the PDF sent a year ago. She printed the PDF on her inkjet printer and it is different also. The colors of the document elements in the older document appear much brighter, while the photo seems more subdued. The new document, the colors of the document elements appear duller and look less saturated, while the photo seems brighter and more saturated. The client prefers the colors in the old version.
I sampled each of the colors in the old PDF and the new PDF and they are the same (with the exception of one element in the old PDF that is RGB). So I know the problem is how the software is interpreting the color values, not that the colors have changed.
How do I get back the old colors for the document, which is ready to send to the printer?
I'm ever grateful for any help I can get.I think the reason why this question is asked often is because the FAQ entry is pretty lame and incomplete, especially for Mac users that by default have a color managed browser and by default have a screwed up rendering mechanism for untagged images.
Depending on your version of Photoshop, you can convert to sRGB before or during the Save for Web operation.

You convert to sRGB for the systems that do not fully support color management.
and...
You include the sRGB ICC profile for the systems that do support color management.
Doing both covers your bum in most situations. You may choose to omit the ICC profile if you are working on common interface graphics that do not require strict color management. The ICC profile adds a few kilobytes to the file size that are not necessary on lesser graphic elements on a web page. -
I can no longer print from web sites using Firefox, but can using Internet Explorer
For the past several weeks, when I try to print from a web site, it eventually times out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the current version of Firefox, to no avail. I really don't want to switch to Internet Explorer, but will have to, if this problem is not solved.
My operating system is VISTA.
