Printed photos have strong green cast

Since I upgraded to Lion all photos I print on my HP PhotoSmart 3310 have a very strong green cast, especially in the shadows.
I have tried printing directly from Aperture and also exporting the image then printing from Preview and it makes no difference. I have also reset the printing system by folowing this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
A test page print from my printer looks fine so I don't think it's anything to do with the hardware itself.
Any ideas why this would be happening and any suggestions for further troubleshooting?

Have you verified it's a problem with the Mac, by printing to your printer from a different machine?
Also, have you updated the drivers recently?:

  • Photos have a red cast

    Hi:
    I just read a very long Forum post involving Chris Cox from July 2010 regarding the referenced issue; unfortunately the thread had left the problem unresolved in 2010. I have a Nikon D3 camera, Windows 7, CS5, and a Epson R3000 printer. Everything was working well together, then "snap", ALL photos have a magent cast. When Windows Photo Gallery or CS5/Bridge are first opened, the photos import with correct color balance immediately. Then, the screen "blips", and all photos have a magenta sunburn. If I plug a thumbdrive of the same photos (downloaded from Windows>Pictures) into a Mac with CS5 and an Epson 4880 printer, then everything works perfectly and no magenta in the work flow. This red cast in photos seems to have been a long standing issue for many people, I hope a resolution has been found by now for this frustrating problem.  Thank you, Steve  [email protected]

  • Why videos have a green cast and poor picture

    All of the sudden videos on my phone have a green cast to them and look like a digital interfearance. It's happening on all videos. Both ones I have taken and ones on you tube. Anyone else have this problem?

    You might have a hardware issue, the display might be damaged/going bad. I would try quitting All Apps and then restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't help, reset your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You could try restoring the iPad as well, but I don't know that it would help.

  • Why do my photos have a green tint when placing them into Muse?

    I am placing photos of portraits into Muse and the colors look terrible. There is a green tint that dulls down the pictures.Top is one of the originals, and bottom is a screenshot in Muse.

    sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
    over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
    I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
    so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
    hope you can still help me thanks for you time

  • HP psc 1210 all in one printer - Printing photos with Green Hue

    Hey folks,
    it used to work fine, now for no apparent reason, it is printing out photos with a strong green hue. They all come out looking very green and yellow.
    I have done several things - i have downloaded and updated all printer software and drivers, i have ran all printer calibrations and cleaning programs, i have accessed Macbook utilities folder and ran all colorsync utility's such as repair and adjust hue. What is going on here? I am completely stumped with this one.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    Hi,

  • I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
    Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Green Cast in Print

    I have exported an image from LR (my display is calibrated and profiled) and sent it to a lab. What came back had a green cast on part of the image (with and without optimization enabled).
    I have uploaded the exported image and would appreciate if somebody with a calibrated/profiled display could have a look at it:
    I can see 3 main colors in the area of the eruption:
    a white center
    a yellow band outside of the white
    orange/red outside of the yellow band
    What came back was quite green where I can see the yellow band. I can see no green at all in this image. Can anybody confirm the me, that the band outside of the white is yellow, and maybe what I should do to avoid the wrong prints?
    Thanks

    I softproofed your image to the profile of my local Costcos (wholesale chain all through the US) and the yellow center turns greenish upon doing that. My guess is they use similar machines to the Frontiers that costcos uses. The problem is that the yellow center is out of the gamut of such lab printers and that can result in color shifts if they color manage. If the lab you are using supplies profiles, use those to soft proof. You might also have success deleting the profile from your file. This will make their not color manage.

  • Is it necessary to have a light black installed if not printing photos on a 7525 phitosmart

    Is it necessary to have a light black cartridge  installed if you are not printing photos?  Keep getting low ink message and it is the only one showing low.

    Hello calcowgirl,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you would like to do some printing without replacing the Light Black ink Cartridge.
    This printer will need to have all the ink installed to function.  The way the printer is designed is that it will take ink from the fuller cartridges to compensate and to complete print jobs.
    Here is a document that explains Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
    Thanks for your time.

  • I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless i install new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto so negative. Should I install it or steer clear of it??

    I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless I update to new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto are so negative that I am uncomfortable about buying it. Will it be fine or should I steer clear of trouble and accept that i can no longer publish my photos?

    iPhoto '11 is working well.
    The reviews usually only show the comments of people who do not like the changed features.
    To get an idea what to expect, when you upgrade, look at the iPhoto '11 support sites.

  • Green Cast - Photos in Mobile Me gallery & Aperture Library

    Hi. I have noticed that some photos on one of my mobile me galleries have turned green, almost like a green filter has been put over them. The same thing has happened to photos in my Aperture library. Any clues to what's causing this? Thanks.

    Hi Tim. Thanks for your reply.
    Some of the images did actually change after uploading to the gallery, both in the gallery and in the Aperture library project. Here's a link to the gallery so you can see what I mean.
    http://gallery.me.com/emma.tarrant#100151
    I did manage to fix the problem in the Aperture library by reprocessing the images so it all looks good in the library but not on the mobileme gallery online.
    I wondered if anyone else has had this problem before?
    I plan to delete the gallery online and start again from sratch!
    Thanks again Tim
    Best wishes

  • I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2.  I have an Epson WP-4530 printer.  Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?

    I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2.  I have an Epson WP-4530 printer.  Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?
    I have already tried downloading the drivers from Epson as per one person's suggestions, but the dialog box isn't anything like what was suggested--the choices in the box weren't the same for the most part.  I don't want to lock up the computer or disable the printer for normal printing, but I have a lot of old negatives that I would love to have prints from.

    I am using the latest software from Epson for Mac OS 10.10.2 that I downloaded last week.  I seem to remember that the older software (we're talking 6-8 years ago) had to option to scan slides or negatives and would convert the results into positives via the scanner.  I don't like the most recent scanning software because it jumps right into the scan before giving you a chance to change the options.  It uses the selected options from the previous scan which are sometimes right, sometimes wrong.  Thanks for your reply to my question!

    This would indicate your magenta ink is not printing properly.  Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.
