Printed colors not correct from Preview

Hi All,
I'm a pro photographer with a good understanding of color profiles and calibration. My G5 system is fully color calibrated from monitors (Apple Cinema displays) through to printer and I get great color reproduction on screen and when printing from Photoshop.
On-screen colors in Preview look identical to other apps, but when I try to print from Preview the colors are all wrong. I've never used Colorsync, so anything in there is set at default. When I print from Photoshop I use one of my custom printer profiles, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere in Preview to use these when printing.
How do I get Preview to print colors that match my screen?? I think Colorsync may be involved somewhere but don't know how to use it.
Any help is much appreciated!

You didn't make it clear what profile you are using. Two profiles are necessary for colour management of printing - a monitor profile, and a printer/paper profile from the printer manufacturer or the paper supplier.
It is also necessary to ensure that all colour management in the printer driver is disabled.

Printing colors not correct when using non printer software

I am using a new CANON MX882. When I print using the Canon easy photo software the print turn out perfect. However when I print from Aperture or Photoshop Elements the pictures turn out with the colors blown out and overexposed. I have the lates drivers availabe from Canon which they say is compatible works with 10.7. I have tried using the printer manament or the software and it doesn't make any difference. Any thoughts on whats next? I am wasting all sorts of paper trying to figure this out.
thanks
Chris

I don't have Aperture or PSE but I do have Photoshop CS5 and with that application the best settings are to let the printer manage the colours. I have some grabs from the PS5 print dialog for your reference.
From the PS5 print dialog, from the Color Management menu the Color Handling is set to "Printer Manages Color".
When you select Print and the normal print dialog appears (or you open Print Settings from the PS5 print dialog) select the Color Matching menu and ensure it is set to Canon Color Matching.
And the last thing to check is the Quality & Matching menu for the Canon printer. The colour profiles for the printer are based on different paper stocks. So it is important that in the Media Type menu you select the type of paper being used and you also want to select High Quality.

PRINTING FORMAT NOT CORRECT

Hi Experts,
Iam Ramya, I am new to Basis Can anybody help me, I am facing a printing problem. When user is tring to print, Print preview is Ok but print is not ok.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
Ask the user to print on a different printer and see
Certain printers won't support certain fonts
so to confirm this try on some other printer and see.
Also check the settings in SPAD
see some OSS notes related to printing
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms

Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Which fonts are suitable for a given language?
Language(s):            Font family to use in a form:

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
IN06%WINDOW2
MT0024401289
CP11000000E
FCHELVE 120 00109XSF100SF101110000067E X
UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

Black and white PDFs printing in changing colours from preview

I am often printing black and white PDFs from preview with my HP PSC 1510 All in one printer and scanner. After updating to OS 10.6, my PDFs have been coming out in colour. They usually start in black, then change in the middle of a line of music or text to purple, red, blue and green. The longer the document, the more different colours I get. This is not occuring when printing black and white documents from NeoOffice, only when printing black and white PDFs from Preview. As this is what most of my printing consists of, this is extremely annoying.
I am high on black ink, as I recently changed catridge and I have also made certain that the printer driver knows this by using the printers and faxes preferance panel and selcting the" levels of material" button to update this, and it seems to understand that I am high on black and low on colour, but still the problem occurs with every PDF i print. (If this button is called something else, but similar, that is because I am using a norwegian system and don't actully know what it is called in the english OSX.)
There is no "print in black and white" button in the printer dialog either, so I can't fool the printer to print in black and white what it perceives as colour in my black and white PDFs either.

Be sure you have applied both the 10.6.2 update and the absolute latest drivers for HP from Apple:

Officejet Pro 8625 Photo print colors not matching monitor!

I just purchased this Officejet Pro 8625 yesterday and while I love many of it's features, I noticed that when printing photos the prints come out very dark and even a bit 'muddy" ie they not only do not match what I see on my Samsung monitor, but they are not really even close. I have used an HP officejet 7310xi for many years...and photos printed from that have been nearly always true to the original photo files/monitor appearance.
I have already run all the printing tests, and they all actually look fine other than Test #1 from the Print Diagnostic page...so calibrated the linefeed. The print heads are clean, etc. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support early this morning and no resolution...so I am at a loss here as to why the color is so off. The tech told me that the ink cartridges that come with the printer might be the issue, but I don't understand why that would be the case if it's authentic HP ink.
I am using good glossy photo paper and have tried several settings, and printing from both within Photoshop Elements 11 with the RGB color settings, and from PSP 9, as well as without going through any editing program. Nothing has helped.
Before I give up and return this printer (because while I need it for faxing and other functions, I also need photo prints that at least come close to what my monitor shows), I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas.
The tech and I did download the most recent drivers/software from the HP website as the software on the included cd was actually not the most recent.
Thank you!

My suggestion about using the onboard USB is to rule out both the USB & WiFi ports.
If printing from the 8625 USB port produces the same results then you may have a defective printer.
Have you also tried printing a sample image that is not yours? (using the O/S image program)

Printing is not correct. I can print to either my HP Photosmart printer or a pdf printer and I get the same thing. Strange looking letters and spacing but not normal reading print. Is there a way to set up my printing in version 4 beta?

Following is whart this page looks like when I print it. How do I fix this?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot print wirelessly with your HP Photosmart Premium c310 on Mac OS X 10.9. I am happy to look into this connection issue for you! I am not sure which support pages you have been to, but here are some that I would suggest going through: 'Printer Offline' or 'Printer Not Responding' Message (OS X).Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Tips for troubleshooting wireless connection issues
The following tips can help you troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues. You can try these tips separately or in combination to get a successful wireless signal. Move the printer and the computer closer to the router, but no closer than 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals can be weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.If you are experiencing an intermittent wireless connection, try restarting your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the router. Objects such as refrigerators, microwaves, or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.Move any device that emits radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer. Such devices can interfere with wireless signals. Are you able to print to the printer with any other wireless devices? Hope this information is helpful, and hope to hear from you soon! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Hi,
change access method from berkely to F or G . if you are intrested in Frontend printing , you need not give the IP address of the printer. __default will select the default printer of the Workstation from which GUI is operated.
Thanks,

Links in pdf not active from Preview

If I create a pdf from a Word .doc file, the links are not active in Preview but are active if I use Adobe Reader 10 (I prefer Preview as my default pdf reader). However if I have Google download a document as a pdf file, that pdf file has active links in Preview - what's the difference and how can I get Preview to always have active links in a pdf file that is created by OSX?

hello, the pdf viewer is still somewhat experimental and under very active development - you could try if the same error is occurring in the current development version, which you can download as an addon from http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi
in case it has the the same rendering problems, you could then file a bug report at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues (a github account is necessary for it though) - please also provide a sample document where the error is apparent!

Have LR 4, Windows 7. Sent to prints to Costco but color not correct. Need settings to compare to my actions.

In Color management I used:
Profile Adove RGB(1998)
Intent: Relative
Print To: JPEG
Print sharpening Standard
Media Glossy
JPEG Quality 100%
The processor said that it must be my computer screen that is off. Have not had a problem in the past but not sure the settings I used in the past. When I print using my Brother printer, it is fine. Using Costco, all colors are dull, almost like a gray sheild over them.
Please tell me the proper settings for sending to a print processing service like Costco. I am working on family reunion and will process over 800 prints. Runing out of time.

Using Costco, all colors are dull, almost like a gray sheild over them.
This sure sounds like an Adobe RGB image being treated as though it were an sRGB image. I don't know if the following is true of Costco, although I suspect it is. Many (most) mass production print labs want their production line streamlined for speed. Part of this means that their input software doesn't waste time reading embedded profiles and making customized conversions - they simply assume that everything is sRGB (because, in fact, 99% of what they receive is in fact sRGB). More expensive "professional" labs can afford to use color space aware software.
And in fact, for these large volume labs there is nothing to be gained by sending them images in any space wider than sRGB, because the gamut of their printers is no wider than sRGB - maybe even a bit narrower in some directions.

Colors not correct in some browsers.

Why does my text not render the correct color in some versions of IE? Is there a fix? The white turns blue and the yellow turns black. Here's one of the pages but its the same across the site. The text does have a drop shadow on it which I considered as a potential cause of the problem. Any thoughts? http://www.rwhuntley.com/research.html

That is not a good plan.
Designing websites for one specific size is a good way to have a broken site appear on everything else.
Setting the height of a text container is asking for trouble, as my screenshot shows, because the font size on my screen is slightly larger than what you test in, your page breaks and becomes almost unreadable at the end. Worse yet, it looks broken to your viewers. "Broken" sites don't get much for return visitors.
Basically, what's happening is your font looks smaller on your tablet than it does on my PC (whether that's an OS, browser rendering engine or user setting is beside the point), so you set the heights to a pixel size that fits, on your tablet. Let me rephrase that: "on your one specific make, model, OS, screensize and resolution tablet".
Everything looks OK to you, but when someone else comes to your page and has a font size setting that is different from your tablet's, the text will overflow the pixel size of the container and break your design.
Doing what I suggest above will keep that from happening, but it won't let you keep the footer in the exact location you want.
To do that, you could try position:fixed along with bottom:0px; in the footer container's css. You'd then need to play around with the end of your text area to give it enough "white space" at the bottom so the footer doesn't overlap the text, but it could be done. That way, no matter what device/browser views your site, the footer bar would be on the bottom of the window at all times.

Printed colors not same as in Lightroom 3.2

Trying to print from Lightroom 3.2 and prints have a magenta tint to them. They look great in Lightroom on the monitor but the results are not the same. I'm pinting on a Canon IP6700D and using a profile to control the color. I'm running Lightroom on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. How do I get the colors to match?
Chuck

You didn't make it clear what profile you are using. Two profiles are necessary for colour management of printing - a monitor profile, and a printer/paper profile from the printer manufacturer or the paper supplier.
It is also necessary to ensure that all colour management in the printer driver is disabled.

Printed Document not correct for RH7 Word

I need help with the pdf print function. So far everything appears to working perfectly and thank you who have helped me get to this point. I am now trying to use the "Prined documentation" function of RH7 and have a few issues:
1. I am getting blank pages and do not see them in Word. Where are they? How do I remove them?
2. I have a page in Word but it does not print to pdf, I think it just might be one of the above blank pages that is not printing.
3. I am also having difficulty with the setup as far as TOC and Chapters do not match. I will review other discussions.
Everything appears correct in Word so there is something in the outline I don't yet understand or somewhere else. I cannot see page breaks except for those in Word and they appear to be correct.
Suggestions? Ideas? Help?
Thank you

Ok, I did try your suggestion and it does create a Word file. However, the Word file has the same results as the pdf so there is something else I am missing with this process. Here are a few "clues" if you will:
1. Both pdf and word create a TOC that looks good
2. Both create the documents alike
3. One of the issues is that the first half does in fact put a separate topic on each page, which I selected in both pdf and word
4. Then somewhere in the middle topics appear on the same pages. I did check the headings and they do match all the way through.
5. The bmp RH& Word inserted images are not all visible...some are some are not but all images that I copied and pasted in to word are visible.
6. At the top of the pages for both pdf and word there are Book titles, page titles, some document name titles and then on the upper right corner there are a few section / book titles. This is very inconsistent.
7. Links are not printing consistently in double underline green which is how I have them all set, but different colors, usually black and some are not underlined.
8. The page headings are all smaller print verses the Heading 1 design I set, but the individual headings that fall underneath are mostly correct.
Examples, [(my comments are within ( )] although there is additional spacing in the copy process:
Apply to all Sections in Data Capture Operations (This is actually a book in help and should be Helvita 14 Bold)
Data Capture Operations (This is the head and should be like this)
Below is a view of the opening page options within the Data Capture module and the quick links that correspond to each function within this module. You may not have access to all of the functions listed and those will appear Grayed out if you do not have access.
(This should be an image and it was added through RH& Image)
Initial Filing
Incomplete Initial Filing (These are all links and should be like the top one with double underlining)
Incomplete Supplemental
Supplemental
Modify/Delete Crash Report
With this said, my 2 outstanding issues are:\
1. Separate pages for each topic
2. Visibility of all images on the pdf. Word not as important.
Hope this helps explain the issues and gets me to resolution. I feel it is simple, I just can't put my finger on it!
Thank you for helping.

Windows 8 Color Management - colors not correct in Adobe programs

I have been having a problem for some time with color management. I thought that I would cure my problem with my new Windows 8.1 system with fresh installs of all my programs, but it persists.
Here's my control image with the color #213D86:
When viewed in any Adobe program (PS CS3, PSE 10, Adobe Reader XI), this is what the image looks like on the drawing surface:
If I look at the color with the color picker in PS or PSE, I get #213D86. When I sample with a program like Iconico's ColorPic, I get #393C7D. Strangely, if I view the image with Save for Web, it appears correctly.
Obviously, I have some sort of color management issue but I don't understand it. My display is a Dell 2208WFP. I tried setting different color profiles on it but it had no effect on the problem. I tried using Spyder calibration and that made no difference. I've tweaked Windows color management settings, all to no avail.
I thought that the problem directly related to Adobe products because in every other context, such as a different photo editor like Paint.NET, the image looks fine. However, on my new Windows 8.1 system, the Windows Photo Viewer displays the wrong color as well.
Where have I gone wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks.
Will

Auto white balance is actually the culprit of these problems as your camera will attempt to measure it itself, and is often wrong. That's just the nature of these cameras. The only way to be sure is to shoot a grey card.
> Microsoft RAW Image Viewer
Is that the Vista version? Otherwise it does not do any correction for the display. Canon's zoombrowser has a checkbox that has to be turned on in order for it do correction and I do not know whether xnView can use a display's calibration. Of the apps you list, the only ones that certainly do color manage are the adobe programs, and, if your display's calibration is correct, are the only ones that you can absolutely trust.
The reason the color looks different for a second when loading in LR is that it shows the embedded jpeg (the camera embeds a jpeg preview in the RAW file) until it calculates the actual RAW conversion. LR applies a default contrast curve BTW, you can try to see what happens when you use the zerod preset.
