Print quality not good

We just bought an OfficeJet Pro 8000 printer. When printing excel files, the lines in excel are crooked when printing in "normal" print quality. If we print in "best" the lines are not crooked.
Why are the lines crooked in "normal" print quality?

Hi - Are you seeing the same print quality issues on plain paper or photo paper?
First thing you might try is chainging paper type from Automatic (if that is the current setting) to inkjet paper or one of the other options to see if that makes an improvement.
Second, are the labels specifically made for inkjets? Labels specifically made for inkjets typically have a coating that helps provide better PQ and more vibrant colors. If you're only seeing the problem on the labels and not on plain paper or photo paper, I'd recommend trying labels that specifically say they're made for inkjets and see if that makes a difference.
Hope that helps.

Print Quality Not Great From iBook

I have an Epson DX4800.
If I print directly from my digital cameras memory card the quality of the print is amazing!! .... But if i want to print from my iBook using PhotoshopCS I'm not asked what quality I would like the print. It just prints out at a normal/default quality and speed.
How do I get the controll to print amazing photo's and fast text?
I also have this exact same problem when i connect my HP DeskJet printer to the iBook >> i end up printing from my PC which is not exactly nice to use
To note: I have installeld all drivers & updates for the Epson Printer.
Thanks for your Time

ahh - it's all okay now... right infront of my face!
there's a pull down tab in the box that apears after you click print.
In that section you can change print qualities etc...

Media Streaming in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Quality not good !

   I have media in windows 8.1 workstation. Made a VM on it (win2012r2) + made a Essentials and Media pack and enabled the highest quality streaming ("best").
   When I test the test 34 mb video on lumia 1520 I find that quality is very degraded. I studied that if you set the highest quality the processor should be good otherwise there would be effect of buffering and lags. But in my case, only problem
my 720p video seems like 240p and no pauses or lags.
   Is there a way to improve that ? ( I have strong Wifi Router to handle the bandwidth ).
   Everything above started from the fact that I could not browse my media files by opening a pc share folder from lumia 1520. if I could open the share folder, I could instantly copy and play from there while I am roaming.
That leaves me to the only option to attach USB, copy data and then test each new video, which is very slow process wise.

You are serving media from an essentials VM on a win 8 box? Did I get that right? In any case. Media Streaming is not a real strong point for essentials. I would look at Serviio or Plex

if there is any solution ,, help me ... how to rectify

Hi, your post I'm sure was helpful to many.
I have a problem that goes a step further--my BB had BB Protect installed, but no password protection, when someone stole my phone. The carrier tells me that whomever has it has "wiped" the device (master reset?).....is there any way to restore my data when my new phone arrives? Or, I also have Total Equipment Protection app--can that help me?
The only pictures I had of family, some members who have passed away, were on the memory card. If I can't locate the phone, they are lost :' (
But there are also hundreds of phone numbers I infrequently call, but are my only connections to important people in my life; then there's also phone numbers for jobs I've applied to and the numbers I'm supposed to follow up with calls to (and names, email addresses, etc)?!
I really need all the info I can get--is there any way to restore what the theif wiped, at least???
Any help would be much appreciated!

Picuture Quality not Good

i am having problem to make the picture quality better of the MSI VIdeo capturing

YouTube video is very heavily compressed.
First thing to do is export your video from FCP to QuickTime using the Current Settings (same as your Timeline). This can be either a Self-contained or Reference movie - that's up to you.
Open that file in Compressor and choose one of the DVD presets that your movie will fit in (If the movie is less than 90 minutes, choose the 90 min. setting).
When you click that setting you will see choices for All, AIFF, MPEG 2 and Dolby 2.0 audio.
Choose All and delete the AIFF setting next to your movie file name in the list. This will give you the MPEG2 and Dolby Audio files. Bring those into DVD SP and author your disk.

Keep hp 6700 in good shape: automatic print quality diagnostic page every week?

Hi all,
I've recently bought the HP Officejet 6700 Premium, and I'm concerned about keeping it in good condition, since I had to replace my previous canon printer because of a stuck printhead (the photo black one, I didn't used it for a long time).
Since I don't print much (but I'm using the ADF scanner a lot), and other family members prints sporadically, most of the time in black and white, I would like to setup an the printer to automatically print a diagnostic page every week to make sure everything is alright.
Using eprint, IFTTT and google calendar I could automatically send a file to print (I already set up the printer to wake up a few minutes before the calendar event) with black and color bars (someone suggest to print the google homepage since it has many colors but uses little ink).
Is there any chance I can directly print the print quality diagnostic page (so I can fully diagnose a problem if it occurs)?
Thanks for the attention
Cheers from Italy!

Hey,
To clarify for you and answer your new questions on the printers self maintenance.
The maintenance cycle occurs randomly. It will occur after any power up, after print jobs(not every one) and any time it "think's" printhead health is poor. As mentioned above the printer to does have to be powered on for this to occur.
You can if you'd like still print off the odd test page just to check, once a month would be adaquet.
If you want to be saving power and are turning it off, then you would want it to be at least powering on and running the automated service that occurs weekly.
I hope this clarifies everything for you. Thanks for your posts.

Printing quality Is not clearly after Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro updating (HP Deskjet 9800)

*** The contents wrote with the auto compiler. (Korean -> English)
*** Meaning of the writing could not be delivered smoothly.
From Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Application Printing quality Is not clearly after Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Professional updating.
To previously there was not a problem to printing quality.
Like this problem gets why?

OS : Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard
App : Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Printer : HP Deskjet 9800 (Driver : HP web download v9.7 lastest or Leopard include)
App : Preview.app (Leopard Default Viewer) - Printng quality is good. But is not the Adobe Reader.

Problem solved. Does only happen with the Internet Explorer 32bit.
With Internet Explorer 64bit it doesn't happen.

Print quality terrible, may not be the printer - how can I fix it?

I've been cleaning and replacing cartridges in my printer lots but no improvement of print quality, in fact a deteriation so that now only magenta and a tiny bit of black print. I just used someone else's printer and same problem (different colour error though) but printed using their computer and the printer is fine. Could there be something I need to change in my mac rather than from the printer to solve this?
I have a MacBook Pro 13" and my printer is HP 8600dn, which has worked fine for 2 years.
The second printer which I can't print on but does work from another computer is the Epson Stylus SX420W.
I've just put new HP cartridges in and it's claiming to have finished the yellow despite me not seeing any yellow being printed.
Can anyone help?? This is driving me crazy and I really need my printer! Thanks, Eve

There are alterate drivers in OS X for each of those printers. Try Generic PCL 6 for the HP and the Gutenprint driver for the Epson. - in other words, add the printer again, but select the alternate driver.

Print Dialogue does not show print quality options on MacBook

I am trying to print wirelessly from my Macbook Pro to a HP 5500 connected to G5. I can print no problems, but I can't control the print quality as this option does not appear in the print dialogue box.
When I print the same page from my G4 powerbook I get print quality options in the dialogue. Both laptops are running 10.4.8 and connecting wirelessly by an airport network. The printer is plugged in the G5 not an airport express.

Hi there,
As Scapesuiter has mentioned, it would be best to check the HP web site to see if there is a Universal driver for your printer. These are drivers that have been written to work on the new Intel Mac's and on the previous Power PC (PPC) Mac's.
If there isn't a Universal driver, you can still use the older PPC driver, however you will experience problems like you are getting when printing from a Universal application via a PPC driver. Usually you see a line through the option that is not available, but I guess another symptom could be that the option is not viewable. Anyway, for some Universal applications, you can choose to open them using the Rosetta emulator. With the application closed, select its icon in the Finder and do a Get Info (Cmd - I). In the window that appears there may be the option "Open using Rosetta". If there is, select this option, close the window and open the application. Now try to print and see if the option is present.

Paul

Print quality - good, bad or indifferent? Your opinions sought.

Here is the message I wanted to send (gremlins in my keyboard) :-)
Hi all,
Well I have followed some of the threads in this list and have seen quite a few comments about LR's print quality. As I am very happy with it I would be interested in finding out exactly what people don't like about the print module and the output quality.
Maybe I am happy with it because my lack of darkroom experience means I cannot seewhat could be better. Maybe it is because I inprt mainly in B&W with some toning or lith effect grain added. I don't know. I certainly don't print in full blown colour.
Just to provide some extra information I use a Mac with a 21 inch LCD screen that is calibrated using a gretagmacbeth "Huey", an Epson Photo R800 and a professionally created icc profile for, mainly, Hahemuhle Photo rag paper. A4 is the largest size I print on (for obvious reasons). LR manages the colour through the profile, print resolution is 360dpi and sharpening is High.
So the question remains what do others find wrong with their prints? Or is it just a case of having to find something to groan about?
I await your responses
Andrew.

I believe that what Morey was originally thinking was that ProPhoto RGB values were being sent to the printer, and the printer had no idea what to do with them. I quote Morey:
"Never the less, the user needs some way in LR to define what color space is sent to the printer when MBR is enabled. Today it is delivering ProPhotoRGB color space image regardless of the embedded color space..."
As per Andrew Rodney's comments above, I don't think this is valid. I very much doubt that a printer gets RGB values along with an embedded profile like ProPhoto RGB... essentially telling the printer 'here are the raw RGB values, and here's the color profile to interpret those RGB values, now you're on your own printer... go 'head and convert to the PCS and then to your CMYK space...'. Seems illogical. Seems much more logical that LAB values (as in the LAB values in the PCS) are sent to the printer, and then the printer profile (an output ICC profile) maps values from the PCS to the printer's CMYK values.
So, it doesn't matter what color space your image is in, as long as your printing software is doing the conversion from the embedded color profile to LAB.
That being said, I still can't get prints worth a damn from LR... they all come out dark and over-saturated. If they happened to come out dark and *under*-saturated, then I might also be 'fooled' into believing that the image looks like unconverted raw ProPhoto RGB chromaticity values (generally very dull)... but I don't think that's the issue at all.
There's either something wrong with the way LR and PS are using these printer profiles, or the printer profiles are just bad to begin with. I'm not ready to jump at either conclusion, though the fact that 'Managed by Printer' gives me prints that match my soft-proofed view in PS makes the printer profiles suspect. The fact that 'Managed by LR' OR 'Managed by Printer' BOTH give me the same colors in LR leads me to believe something's wrong with LR, simply because it's not the case in PS, and PS is a much more mature program than LR. Yes, I'm going out on a limb in making that comment :)

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good. Originals are excellent. My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD. I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Print quality gets worse, not better

Here's the situation:
A few months back I managed to get infected with malware. Ran Malware Bytes, which has this bad habit of destroying things you need as well as those you don't; after I got rid of the virus, I had all these problems printing to my Deskjet 1320. In addition the frequent jams, color print quality just went bad; replaced the color cartridge, it was just as bad. Diagnostic was telling me printer cartridge was full, but the 1320 just kept printing as though it was empty.
OK; maybe the printer's gone bad, tho it was only a few years old. So, this week, replaced it with a Deskjet 1520, which came with a brand-new color cartridge.
Installed the software, got it all hooked up - and the color print quality is still bad. Cleaned the cartridges - and the print quality grew worse.
I've about had enough of this, thank you very much. But I am wondering - is it possible that this is a software issue rather than a hardware issue? Because it CANNOT be a hardware issue at this point, not with brand-new cartridges (have a new black as well), and a brand-new printer.
Please advise.

my hp deskjet 1320 won't print black ink

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.
