Print from photoshop - fine(micro) white line between colors

One CMYK document with two coloured squares overlaying each other somewhat
1 with colour C:22 M:7 Y:9 L:0
1 with colour C:0 M:76 Y:99 L:0
When printed on standard home colour laser printer and on the digital proof print from printing house it shows a very microscopic white line between the two colours. When I do the same from illustrator(vectors) there are no such lines.
Any ideas?

  • Thin Verticle Lines when Printing from Photoshop

    Hi kel2roll,
    No, I never did figure it out. I now save the photoshop files, then open them in preview and print from there. I did everything everyone suggested, except de-install and re-install the printer, which I didn't know how to do, but I got the same result you did, only in b & w.
    Let me know if something pans out,

  • Thin white line between line art and live paint fill?

    I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations.  The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced.  Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill.  Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in.  If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill.  This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files.  If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?  I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
    Thank you for any help.    

    If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?
    Without knowing specifics,nobody knows.
    "Okay" for what?
    If it looks okay to you in Illustrator, then it's okay for viewing in Illustrator.
    If the export of it does not look okay in Photoshop at 1:1 or higher zoom, then it's probably not okay for whatever you're going to do with that raster image.
    If it's printed to a low-res composite printer, then it may be okay, because the printer may not be able to resolve the whitish pixels.
    If it's printed for commercial (color-separated) reproduction, it may not be okay, depending on the scale at which it will be printed, and on other considerations partially described below.
    The autotrace routine does not build traps. Typically, when you color-fill cartoon line art manually, you don't make the shapes that define the fills merely "kiss" the black line work, as would the default treatments of a stupid autotrace. The black line work typically overprints the fills, thereby creating printing traps.
    Suppose a portion of your cartoon is a hand-drawn closed circle. The black line work is irregular; it varies in width, having been drawn with a marker or a brush. The circle is colored in with a medium green. There are no sloppy gaps in the original between the green and the black.
    You scan it and autotrace it. Unless you apply some deliberate care to make it do otherwise, the autotrace is going to create a compound path, filled with black, and with no stroke; and a green simple path which (hopefully) exactly "kisses" (abuts) the black path. Adobe's on-screen antialiasing of the edge where the two colors abut may or may not cause your monitor to display a faint whitish or grayish sliver between the two colors.
    Similarly, Photoshop's rasterization of it, or the rasterization of a raster export filter may do the same, and may actually result in some off-color pixels along the edge. (Your description of the scenario kinda raises the question of why you are auto-tracing something that you're then just going to rasterize in Photoshop anyway. Why do that? Why not just work with the scan in Photoshop?.)
    So let's leave Photoshop out of the picture and assume you are autotracing it because you want vector artwork. You zoom way in to see if the whitish sliver enlarges. It doesn't, so you assume it's just an aberation of Illustrator's on-screen antialising. And then someone tells you you're in the clear. But are you? Not so fast.
    Let's assume the artwork is destined for commercial (color-separated) printing. Further assume the color of the autotraced black is 100% K, and the color of the autotraced green is 100Y 50C. Three inks involved. None of those three inks are shared between the two objects. So even if the paths do, in fact, perfectly abut, there is no "wiggle room" built in for the minor alignment shifts that almost aways do occur on press.
    Bottom line: Even if you do determine that the common antialiasing aberations that frequently occur on-screen in Adobe apps is just that—just an onscreen aberation, that does not necessarily mean your file is suitable for commercial color-separated reproduction.
    First, you need to understand that autotracing is not the one-click, instant "conversion" of a raster image to vector artwork that far too many think it to be. Just like everything else, you don't just launch a program like Illustrator, start autotracing things willy-nilly without understanding what's really going on. Just like anyting else, you can use an autotrace feature intelligently or...well...not.
    You have options. Illustrator provides an auto-trapping feature. Read up on it in the documentation so you understand what it's all about. Alternatively, you can expand the results of your autotrace, select all the black linework and apply a composite color that includes 100% K and reasonable percentages of C, M, and Y (a so-called "rich black"). Or,depending on the artwork and the desired results, you may consider doing the autotrace as centerlines so you have stroked paths, not just filled paths for the linework. That way, using the flood fill (so called LivePaint) will cause the auto-created fill objects to extend to the paths, not just to the edges of their strokes. Then set the linework to overprint.
    At any rate, if you are doing this professionally, you need to read up on the principles and practices of trapping and color separation.

  • Edging problem "thin white line" between paths in Illustrator CS4...

    I am making a map of Europe with Illustrator CS4 for a documentary about WWI and how the Versailles Treaty carved up imperial Germany. After having traced imperial Germany before Versailles, I then carve out the territories given to neighboring states. The problem is these very fine white lines that appear between paths.
    I have two paths right next to each other. But for some reason I see this very thine white line gap that shows up between them and becomes much more evident when I export into Photoshop. Please notice this very fine white line in the black image. What you see in this image are in fact two paths side by side. There should be no line between them. And I have no idea why this very fine line appears but it gets much worse in Photoshop much more noticeable. Please click on image to see the line more clearly.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help or suggestions.

    Dear Jacob and Peter,
    Thank you both very much for your help.
    Please see these photos showing my problem more clearly.
    I am using Illustrator to draw the regions, Photoshop to consolidate the layers, and Apple Motion 4 to build my animation.
    [1] : Imperial Germany in 1914.
    [2] : Germany after Versailles.
    In Illustrator CS4, the images [1] and [2] have the colored layers in "Multiply" transparency mode. It's how I want the layers to look when I import them into Apple Motion 4.
    My idea was to color all the layers black in "Normal" mode and then apply "colorize" filters in Motion 4 and set the transparency to "multiply" in Motion.
    Now with Imperial Germany (all layers colored in black with transparency set to "Normal"), when I bring the image into Photoshop, I suddenly get very fine white lines between the layers and these lines show up in Motion which is the big problem. Like I said, when you click on this last photo, and you see the image full size, you can clearly see the problematic lines which appear exactly where the layers touch each other. In the photo below, the territories ceded to Poland (West Prussia) and Lithuania (Memel) are not yet red. They are still black but you can see the lines.
    I don't understand because in Illustrator there were no gaps whatsoever between the layers. In Illustrator CS4, I simply cut the "territorial losses" from imperial Germany using the "Trim" function in the Pathfinder Menu. I created the red and yellow layers from the original single "imperial Germany" layer. In Illustrator I can colorize all the layers black and still never see any gaps. The fine white lines, appear in Photoshop and in Motion.
    (NOTE: The documentary is being in edited in Final Cut Studio which is why I use Motion for animating.)
    Sorry to ramble on. Thank you again for any further help you can give me.

  • HP laser printer b/w suddenly stopped printing from photoshop

    I have a mac 10.6.8, and an HP 1102w, which I got specifically because the ink contains iron oxide which I can fire onto my ceramic sculptures. It has been working fine printing from photshop CS5 for several months. Today I tried to print  and got a page of very fine vertical lines down most of the page and various horizontal marks at the top of the page. The same file prints ok on my Canon printer, and files from Preview print fine on the HP. I changed the cartridge, which was getting low, but that didn't help. I closed all the apps and turned off the computer, also unplugged and replugged in the printer.  It only doesn't print from photoshop. Please help!

    Thank you Michael, but I don't know how to delete the printer driver. Can you walk me through it?

  • Prints from Photoshop too dark.

    I have recently purchased an old Epson Stylus Pro 7800 and have experienced my prints coming out way too dark. I contacted Epson support and through troubleshooting found that if I print with Apple Preview, the image comes out just fine- in terms of darkness- but Photoshop prints too dark. The Epson tech said this was a known problem and to contact Adobe. So, I got on-line to se what I could find and get some help.
    Mac OS X 10.9.4
    Photoshop CC v14.0 x64
    Epson Stylus Pro 7800
    Again, please note, that printing from my computer via the Preview App produces correct color and darkness. The issue only happens when trying to print from Photoshop CC
    All help appreciated

    Often cause by running with your display too bright.  Image are darker then they look on screen.  Make sure you display is displaying good color and the brightness is set correctly.  Hardware calibration is best but IMO is not an absolute requirement.
    It is also important not to have the image color managed by Photoshop and you print driver.  You should see warning about that in Photoshop Print Dialog.  You need to set both Photoshop Print setting and your printer drivers settings to the correct seitting and paper color profiles. I use a Epson 4800 and have Photoshop manager the colors and turn off color management in the 4800 print driver. Paper size and profile set in both.  I do run with mu display  too bright many do no one complains that the images I post online are too dark.  To print good color all I do is add an brightness and saturation adjustment layer on top and boost the brightness 18 to 20%.. View screen capture in new tab or window so you can scale to actual size. You can see my remote printer is running out of yellow....

  • Should I overprint to avoid white space between colors when printing?

    Hello all,
                 I hope I don't get slammed for posting the wrong way! But I'll try.
    I print on a Summa DC4 thermal printer which prints one color at a time.
    I am using Illy CS4 with a cmyk document, all vectors.
    My Question is:
    Should I overprint to avoid white space between colors?
    CMYK document (But only the YMK will print) which contains:
    100% black background (rectangle)
    0% (white) Copy
    and Red (star) -  100% yellow x 100% magenta
    printed on white vinyl.
    the red object (star in this case) should bleed or overprint into the black background. Instead I get almost a white outline around the red star where the registration was minutely off.
    How can I avoid this from happening? By setting the yellow & magenta to overprint? I don't want the black to subtract the red object (star)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Sincerely,
    C.

    I am unfamiliar with the Summa printer, but it sounds like there is no built-in provision for trapping.
    In that case, you should stroke the red star with the same color as the fill (100M + 100Y) and set only the stroke to overprint. That way, you still knock out the star area from the black background, but you've created the necessary spread trap to deal with the slight misregistration. Use the smallest possible stroke weight needed to solve your problem.

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

    I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

    Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before?  If so, check your connections.

  • 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
    something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best
    route to take?
    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.
    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?
    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.
    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).
    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.

  • Problems printing from Photoshop 4 to Canon Pro9000MarkII

    Hi All,
    This has only strting happening in the last two days - before that I have had no problems with this function. I am trying to print from Photoshop 4 on a PC to my Canon Pro9000MarkII.
    When I print a document and tick the Scale to Fit Media box then everything is fine and it prints no problem.
    When I try to print with this box unticked so that I can print at 100% scale I press OK and nothing happens.
    We have tried to download the latest printer driver and this has not helped. I have played around with the Printer Preferences and this too has not helped. I have restarted Photoshop and the PC quite a few times - nothing!!
    I have obviously missed some sort of setting but I don't know what - help!!!!

    I am back and still having trouble with Lightroom. Someone suggested I downgrade to LR 4.1 (from 4.4) but that didn't help. To reiterate: I have a MacBook Pro, using 10.9.5. I got a new Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer and LR is having trouble communicating with the printer. When I try to print a letter size (or other size) picture, a 5x7 partial tile of the picture prints off center bleeding to the top. The only way I can print a whole picture is the size it 5x7; then it prints the whole picture but it is still off center, not as it appears in LR print view. I have talked with Epson who said I had Mac conflicts; I spoke with Mac who got rid of the conflicts so it can print fine from Apple programs like Pages, or the internet. It is only LR that won't print right. Obviously I got a photo printer to print photos so I would like help resolving this. It has been very frustrating that although I could talk with both Apple and Epson support, when I tried to contact Adobe both by phone and Live chat I was told that LR is not supported except on this forum. So please, help. Thanks.

  • Can't print from Photoshop CC 2014

    I very seldom need to print directly from Photoshop, but today I do. Today I discovered that I cannot print from Photoshop, because Photoshop stops working when I click 'Print'. I don't even get far enough to select a printer from the list. I get a Windows message in a little box -
    "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
    I can print from every other program on my PC, including InDesign, so it would seem that the problem is solely with Photoshop. I'm using Windows 7 64bit.
    Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.
