Printed images are rastered

I use PSE 7 and I have a Brother HL-1430 non-color laser printer. Before I installed PSE 7, I was always using Paint Shop Pro and my printed images showed no raster. Now that I use PSE 7, I always see that my printed images are rastered. How can I change that to a smooth image on paper like I was used to with Paint Shop Pro? I already tried several settings. I cannot find a setting in my printer software that would turn off any color management. Anyway, it must be a setting in PSE 7, because I can print fine with Paint Shop Pro.

Digital halftoning uses a raster image or bitmap where each monochrome picture element or pixel may be on or off, ink or no ink.
Halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing.
Where continuous tone imagery contains an infinite range of colors or greys, the halftone process reduces visual reproductions to a binary image that is printed with only one color of ink. This binary reproduction relies on a basic optical illusion that these tiny halftone dots are blended into smooth tones by the human eye.

Print image area shifted in illustrator cs6

I'm on a Mac working in Illustrator CS6. I went to print out of the print dialog box and after I printed, I noticed that the margins are larger on one side that the other. I re-opened the print dialog box and double clicked in the area that shows the artwork prior to print, to re center the artwork in the window, and noticed that there two dotted lines in thw window. One being the artwork, and the other is the image printable area. Well when I double clicked on the dialog box to re-center the artwork in the prinatble area, the art works centers, but the printer image area is offset, or nudged upward. When I print the margins are larger on one side and not centered. Heres the million dollar question,"How do I re-center the image area for printing so when I print, the artwork is centered?" I'm not printing boarderless. Thanks for your help in advance. I will try to include a pic if needed.

Update! No update! Adobe did send me an e-mail stating that they were trying to call me. They had been trying to call the wrong number. ?????? I don't understand that. My Adobe profile has my right number. Anyway still waiting. I had to call them back again and when I did, I waited 30 min. Finally got someone. Waited for them to review the notes another 10 min total, proceeded to ask me my problem with the download???????? Thats not my problem! ADOBE C'MON! The representative told me it had to be escalated to next level. Wait a min................ the last two calls ago, they told me the issue had beed elevated as high as it could be, to the developer/engineering level. I feel I'm getting the run around! Sorry for the venting, but dont release a product if it doesn't work. Been a month total! Out of business! Shouldn't have gotten rid of my other machine with CS5. I'll keep you posted.

Printed images are pixelating

Images already printed clearly, are pixelating when I copy and then past as layers onto a new canvas.
This is a proceedure I have used many times in the past, and am quite surprised, and lost, about the reasons for it.
Any help on this question?

Hi, Trevor,
The light came on, and the problem corrected...knew it was something simple,and upon reading your response, realized that another adjustment I was using (setting the canvas size to the media size) was creating the problems with the pixels.
Thanks for your quick response.

Olympus p440 printer - printed images are distorted

Since updating to 10.6 I have not been able to print correctly from my Olympus dye-sub printer. I had previously used the older gimp-print driver, but this is not available anymore only the Gutenprint version.
Now I find that everything I try to print is compressed in one axis (i.e. the aspect ratio is not preserved). Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Help. Images are magenta in Photoshop and LR, only.

I have recently installed Photoshop and LR CC on a new computer (Dell Precision T7600). Previously color-balanced and printed images are severely magenta. The files look fine in preview but change to magenta when opened. Web images, powerpoints and pdfs look fine unless opened in Photoshop or LR, at which point they turn magenta. The background color in LR and PS is not magenta. Just the images. Could it be a glitch in the CC download or a problem with the new video card (NVIDIA NVS 310). Or something else. Help. I can't work.

Your display profile is wrong, and the two color managed applications you use (which are the only ones paying attention to the display profile) are trying to compensate for the incorrect display properties.
Fix the display profile (in the OS display settings) so that it correctly reflects the properties of your display.

Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw prints, but images are blurred.

Laserjet200 (HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw) prints, but images are blurred; sometimes the entire page and other times just the right half. Staples tech said the drum could be bad. Can this be corrected? Using W7 ultimate OS.

Hi @jimmanning ,
I see by your post that the images are blurred. I would like to help you.
Run a calibration on the printer.
On the printer touch the wrench, system setup, print quality, color calibration calibrate now.
Print a Diagnostics Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.
Go to Setup, Reports, arrow down and select Diagnostics Report.
I have provided a document with more steps for running a cleaning and checking print driver settings.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Remove the toner and check to see if there is any toner on drum.
Make sure the paper type is selected to the media that you are using, not the default setting unspecified.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What were the results of Diagnostics Page and Print Quality Page?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the Ink levels?
Was there any damage on the toners?
Have a nice day!

When I try to print to a PDF from any program images are blurred

I try to print to PDF using word, or any other program. The resulting PDF is clear for text and all but the images are blurred.
Could There be a reason for this and how do I fix it? I am using the print preset when printing.
Thanks,
Mark

You're right, if a workaround works it's good. I don't use pdf's much either, usually just to send images if the receiver is on a PC as I work on a Mac. I had to send an image to a printer for a brochure so I tried to send a press quality pdf. I ended up sending a tif. I tried the Adobe posting to see someone had experience with this problem before calling my computer technician-at a cost. Your comment about fonts and locations prompted me to check files and read the window details more carefully, not just click continue.
So thanks, you really were very helpful. Robert

CR Viewer tool bar images are missing; Export and Print are not working

Hi There
I used Crystal report 10.5(VS 2008 base crytal report -- CRRedist2008_x86.msi), i developed ASP.net application using VB.net program(i used .net 3.5). One of the pages in the application is having crystal report viewer, which is calling a crystal report to populate the result. The report is working as expected on development machine (Win Vista). Hence, I moved the application onto Server (Windows Server Web; 32Bit OS and IIS). I installed the CRRedist2008_x86.msi, which added the "aspnet_client" under default website. As my site is a made as an application under default webiste. I tried...
a) By copying the aspnet_client folder into the website folder
b) By adding a virtual directory called "aspnet_client" under my website pointing it into the folder under "default website"
None of the trials are working for me.
When I click on Print or Export buttons (although their images are missing), I get the error sigh on bottom left (status bar) of the browser and the popping up the same giving me below error details

Hello All.
I am excited to let you know that the issue is being resolved.
Here is steps that lead me to resolution and solution..
I installed Fiddler2 and looked into every the debugging details of the transaction while running the report.
Learned that the crystal report is using the aspnet_client foler under "Default website" NOT under the crrent website.
Hence I tried to access the image via http path from local machine
http://myserver/aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer4/images/toolbar/export.gif.
(Notice, "mysite" folder is been removed)
I was expecting to see the gif on my browsers' body. It gave me an error.
Investigated further more on the error and found that the "Managed Pipe Line" of the respective application pool is to be changed to "Classic" instead of "Integrated"
changed it .. Boom...
Tool bar is showing up with proper images and as well the "Export" and "Print" functions are working as expected..
Hope this helps to those in the same situation.
Again.. this is one of many many solutions on this issues.
Thank You

I just bought an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 and the printed images look yellow. I calibrate my MacBook Pro monitor with a ColorMunki Display. I want to make sure my Lightroom print settings are correct.

This what I have been trying...... Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

When searching for an image in Finder on iMac, I found hundreds of images of printers !! All sorts of printer images which I certainly haven't loaded on.I went to Finder, File, Find and Image and there they are, hundreds,if not low thousands of them.

I was searching for an image on my Imac and when I went to Finder,File,Find and then Image, I found hundreds if not early thousand images of printers ! Amazing in one way but I didn't put them on my machine and don't really want them there.Did they come pre-loaded? Can I delete them safely? Thanks

Almost certainly, no absolutely not once you start deleting stuff like this that you think is not needed, eventually you'll trash something essential and cause yourself a lot of heartache.
There are numerous files classed as images, some will be temporary files in browser caches, others system files, others your "real" images, others files which are not really images but appear to be.
The amount of space of what I presume are essentially icons of printers will will be minimal, lets say these images are 5k in size (I guess they are much smaller?) and there are 1,000 of them, thats only 5Mb. No doubt your disk has multiple gigabytes free, eg thousands of times as much free as you'd save by deleting all of them. So you might gain back an extra 0.0001% disk space*. NOt worth the time, let alone the risk, plus then you'll get into a mindset "hmm, I dont think I can possibly need this 23byte file either I'll delete that as well etc, and then "problem......".
Where are the images stored? It may be that at some time you were searching for a new printer and these images are from that exercise (though I doubt you looked at thousands?) in which case they are in your browser cache and you can always delete that through the browser, but that space will be overwritten by other images anyway.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a motto to work by with computers.
*( or, if you really do need the (say) 5MB of disk space back because you are running out, this would only be a very temporary solution and that wont have done you any good)

When printing to the dye sublimation epson stylus pro 7700 using adobe illustrator it is required that I mirror the image. When mirroring the image the print colors are muted. Not mirrored and the print colors are perfect. Any suggestions?

Help! My 300 dpi images are printing low quality!

I've purchased print-ready images (300 dpi) from an extremely well-known stockphoto website to use in a brochure I'm creating. On the brochure cover (which is 8.5" x 5.5"), I have placed 14 of these print-ready images. (FYI-all of these print-ready images are pictures of people smiling while doing various activities.)
As you can imagine, I have had to reduce the scale of each of these print-ready images to approximately 1" x 0.7" to fit on the page. The layout itself looks really nice, but when I attempt to create a .pdf using the "Print Booklet" option, all of my images look horrible! I've also attempted to create a .pdf using the "Export" function and selecting "Press Quality" and my images are slightly better, but still look horrible!
I have also re-scaled the images in Photoshop (leaving them at 300 dpi) and created a .tiff file, but no matter what I do (and I've been wrestling with this single problem for DAYS), I can't get these images to actually appear clearly on a printed page. When I forwarded my brochure (in .indd, .pdf, and .eps formats) to a professional printing company, they came back to me telling me to use print-ready images.
I've been working with print-ready images for well over a year and have sent multiple jobs to professional printers and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with images looking like they aren't print-ready. Could it be that you can only reduce the size of an image so much? Has anybody had this problem before???
Thanks in advance for your input!

Thanks for the comments thus far! I forgot to mention that all of my images are .jpegs (300dpi).
I've reviewed my "Print Booklet" settings and under my "Images- Send Data," I have "All" selected as opposed to "Optimized Subsampling." My Effective Resolution is also set at 300 dpi.
I'm still working, and am open to more suggestions.
Thanks!

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

Why are the images on my screen in InDesign so crisp/clear and when I export to PDF to print they are blurry?

Top Picture is while the program, bottom is when exported as a PDF

Hi Kathdepew,
You are checking the PDF in Preview, please look it at Adobe Reader/Acrobat. Preview is not a recommended soft-proofing application.
Also, check you PDF export settings, it seems the images are being down-sampled. To know better, export the PDF with "High quality presets" and then check.
