I think that worked. I've been messing around for a long time trying to
figure it out myself watching tons of drop down tutorials. Should have
asked a long time ago... It was hard because I wasn't completing from
scratch and rather updating my current site. How could I give you the
location on the server easily?

Distorted screen -vertical multicolored stripes

I just woke my MBP up from sleep and have vertical stripes running down the screen, in any application ... Finder, Safari, Word, you name it ... as long as it is a white screen the color is there.
When I hook up to my LCD TV, the TV display output is fine, which leads me to believe it is the monitor. This is a monitor that was replaced by Applecare on April 7th due to distorted pixels.
My assumption is that there is a fault with the hardware but does anyone have any other advice? I just did a permission repair and backup, and it was like this when I was done.
Thanks

I just posted something similar, I should have looked more closely before at the postings already there... I had a similar experience, but with exploding pixels starting in the middle of the screen and then it would get a lot worse and flickered and white was purple and then all of a sudden it calmed down and quickly became normal... Weird!

HT204135 I have two Epson printers and one Canon printer. Why am I unable to access the same print options on my MacBook Pro as I could on mp PC i.e. select paper type and print quality?

I have just purchased a MacBook Pro as my PC has finaly died.
I have three Inkjet printers i.e. Epson Photo PX700W Epson Photo R340 and a Canon Pixma ip4600 which I connected to my Mac and the print drivers were automatically downloaded. Now when I print using any of the printers the functionality PC i.e. Choice of paper and print quality settings. Is this all I get when using the Mac OS lion or should the functionality be on a par with Windows?

Depending on the application you are printing from, you may need to press the Show Details button in the print dialog to see all of the additional driver menus.
The image below is for the extended print dialog of TextEdit and for a Canon MP990 printer. The Show Details button is on the bottom of the print dialog and will change to Hide Details when selected. And with the menu changed to Quality & Media, you have paper options and print quality settings.

2600n Print Quality - repeating pattern down the page

Whatever gets printed at the top of the page text or graphic gets repeated every 2 inches further down the page. I've tried self clean and calibration procedures from service menu and this does not fix. IT worked great fro a year or so...Clean rollers or film on rollers? New fuser? Software drivers? or somtehing else?

I think I found and fixed the problem. I'll know for sure tomorrow morning after the printer has set too cool all night.
I changed some device settings in the Print Quality of the HP Toolbox. I turned ON the following and the issue went away immediately.
In the Optimize section of Print Qualtiy - try turning ON
Extra Cleaning
Trailing Edge Overdevelopment (Full Speed)
Trailing Edge Overdevelopment (Half Speed)
Mottle Prevention
Less Duplex Current
This (seemingly) worked for me, let me know if this helps anyone else.

HP LaserJet 5500dtn print quality issues: vertical and horizontal streaks

Hi,
I am getting large vertical yellow streaks, accompanied by cyan and magenta vertical dashes on each print. Also, each page has vertical and horizontal black streaks. I've cleaned the fuser and that hasn't made much of a difference. I've also tried cleaning some of the cartridges, which didn't help. The internal roller of each cartridge continues to get covered with excess toner. Furthermore, I get a weird offset of some of the text (a faded version of the text that is offset about 1.5" from the regular text). Is there anyway to fix this issue by cleaning certain parts? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
Yes it is in Warranty. It is virtually brand new.
After I last posted I got through to the online chat support and was sent an email with options to 'troubleshoot' which I had already done with no success.
I was also given a link to try to update the printer firmware - which I will try when I get home from work.
I will see if that makes any difference but am sceptical as the printer worked fine the first time round but hasn't worked since and nothing has changed on it.
Chris.

Unable to obtain vivid print quality with HP ColorJet CP1515n after upgrading to Windows 7

Since I upgraded to Windows 7, I no longer get the same sharp and vivid images that I used to get using Windows XP. The colors also differ from the colors on my screen. Apart from upgrading to Windows 7 and installing the HP Universal PCL 6 driver, no changes have been made before the problem started. I still use Corel Draw 10 and print on the same glossy paper used when the print quality was fine.

dpv,
If we suspect operating system or driver problems since moving to windows 7 we can try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
Best of Luck!

Print quality poor when exporting tiff from Ai

I recently sent an Illustrator file to FedEx Office to be printed and it just didn't look great. What do I need to fix (other than getting a real printing company! ) in order to get a higher print quality?
This is what I did:
Created a file in Illustrator then exported it as a tiff. (I needed it cropped and didn't like what I got by cropping it using the Pathfinder steps/options.)
Placed the tiff file in a new Illustrator file.
Printed it as a pdf.
The pdf version of my illustration was horrid, so I had them print it from the Illustrator file. It was considerably better, but still had diagonal stripes (gradient) and vertical stripes (printing).
How can I remedy this problem?

Clipping Mask
Draw a closed path over the objects you want to maswk or crop, in this case probably a rectangle using the rectangle tool.
then select all the objects and the shape to be used as a mask.
then go to Object>Clipping Mask>Make
BTW Scott's answer shouldbe marked as the answer.

Print quality with Aperture and Epson RX580

Hi all,
I feel like I've tried everything, but I just can't get Aperture (the latest version with all the updates) to print from my MacBook Pro on my Epson photo printer the way I could from other photo software on my old PCs. On my old PCs, when I would print a photo from Canon DPP or Capture One, or even the Windows photo management software, I get a rich menu of dialogue boxes for the Epson printer offering different qualities of prints, different papers to choose from, "photo enhancement," and lots of other options. Prints came out sharp, colorful, and just great.
When I print from Aperture, I get none of these options (I get color management and resolution, and that's about it).
When I print from Aperture, I get vertical lines in the prints, visible dots, and pixellation. So what I do is email the "exported" versions to my daughter's PC laptop and print from there -- and get good results. Boy, that's a pain.
Surely Aperture can do better than this. So what am I missing? Any ideas for what I should be doing?
Thank you.

Canon MP990 and Macbook pro (os X snow lep.. and Lion) - Lines in prints in Aperture.
While a bit vague I got there and found the distinction between the printer driver managing it and the printer managing the photo quality causing the issues.
I could only transfer the pic's to iphoto and print for ( admitedly about the same time of more than a year).
The FIX
in the first window after selecting print scroll down to rendering and select printer managed.
Select all the other settings you need then select print on the right bottom of this window.
This next dialogue box at the bottom is a show details button then a new set of menus are present (initial is layout in a pull down menu) select color matching then automatic ( you can change this but it worked so if it is not broken I'll play later ).
You should have clear prints with no lines...

Inconsistent print quality on a HP 8500 Printer.

When I print more than 5 or 6 copies, the print quality starts fading.. Eventually the quality is so light that is not readable and some letters or words are missing entirely. I discontinue printing and turn the printer off for a couple of hours and repeat the printing but have the same results. First few copies are perfect, then the poor quality repeats.

Hi skinfrared, welcome to the forums!
Try checking out the guide below for changing the print settings in a Mac. Choose 10.8 and almost near the bottom it will show you how to save the settings for future print jobs.

CP1025nw, repeptetive smudges, poor print quality, pushing toner button does nothing.

I haven't used this printer in a couple of years, so I sense some of my issues might be related to that. First up, the print quality is quite poor. Despite having a new black toner cartridge, the B&W printing isn't very strong; it's blotchy in some areas with random spots in others. Second, there are repeating color splotches all over the place. I've attached a photo. Third, pressing any of the toner buttons does nothing, no beeps, blinks, or movement. So far, the only things I've tried was toreplace the black toner cartridge and blow out the interior of the machine with compress air. I also removed the drum and gave that a quick and careful cleaning.. Any thoughts?

How does iPhoto play a part in this? You're in the iPhoto forum. Shouldn't you be asking your question in the iPhone forum? I'll ask the powers to be to move you question to the iPhone forum.

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 quality problems with bluetooth Canon ip90 printer?

I've had this problem on prior PBs and the canon website is decidely NOT helpful so here goes....
I have a pixma ip90v printer with a bluetooth adaptor added to my MBook. It prints fine and I had no problems adding it to my new computer (it was originally used on a PBG4 and I had the same problem which is...) - every now and then the print quality goes to a light purple as if it's trying to save memory. Has anyone else encountered something like this?

Try resetting the printing system http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14141
You'll have to reinstall your printer after the reset.

Print Quality HP Photosmart 5510

I have a HP Photosmart 5510 operating on Windows XP OS. The printing has started to print crooked on the page no matter if it's a print, copy or scan. I did a Print Quality Diagnostic Report and the Pen Alignment Status was a:Fail.
I then printed an alignment page but the scanner would not recognise it.
Any ideas what is causing this?

Print Quality Question

When using the J6400 series there are several ways to set print quality.... There is the button on the front of the machine as well as the printing shortcuts that show up under preferences when you click on print. Which selection over-rides the other and takes priority? I have several customized shortcuts that use fast-draft and black cartridge only. I'm hoping the button on the machine that always defaults to mid-level quality doesn't take priority over my customized settings.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
Open the image in Preview (32-bit) or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks. PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks.
