Printer colours wrong (for graphic objects)

My new laptop is giving me problems printing. Text prints fine in colour but pictures and graphics all have a creamy yellow tinge.
[With at least one Microsoft Office application (notably Entourage), the problem also extends to printing text; I can only guess that Microsoft Entourage may send the text in its print files as some sort of graphic.]
This was not a problem with our old G4 desktop running the same software and using the same printer - where both text and graphics all emerge with a clear white background. But print the same documents, help pages, what-have-you from my laptop and, regardless of the program, they always emerge with yellowish squares around every graphic [and every bit of text too in the case of Microsoft Entourage].
I feel certain that there must be a setting I can change that will correct the problem, but can't find it. Any suggestions?

I am guessing here, but your old G4 was a PPC Mac, your new laptop will be an Intel Mac.
You may therefore need a new printer driver, which you be able to download from the maker.

  • What is the best wide format printer to use for graphic design?

    Hello all, I recently upgraded to a new iMac and am looking for the most suitable colour tabloid or super tabloid printer. I am willing to pay as much as $3000 and have read excellent reviews of the Phaser 7500, but the size and weight are too much for me in my home office. I would also consider inkjet models but want something crisp and clear for graphic design and have heard there are problems with compatibility with Snow Leopard and Lion. Am now considering the OKI C830 series. Any experience with this or recommendations? Many thanks!

    Had 2 Phaser 7700's - excellent print quality - large footprint, overpriced and consumeables are expensive
    Currently have a Konica Minolta Magicolor 7450 - print quality close to the Phasers, large footprint, good price, consumables much cheaper than the Phasers - Noisy, not great in a small office.
    No FHE with the OKI but it looks like a nice machine. Best to find a dealer and check out print quality and if you have small space watch out for the fans humming it can get overwhelming intrusive.

  • IP4500 DVD Top Printing - Colours WRONG - Driver Issue or what?

    OS10.5.5 QT 7.5.5
    I have a Canon IP4500, it worked well for some time printing DVD TOPS. I used Verbatim inkjet printble matte, (& sometimes gloss), white tops, the results have always been excellent. I use DISCUS to design and print my tops.
    The printer was idle for a number of weeks when I ran out of ink, and had to wait for replacements.
    Since then; when printing DVD tops the colours have been wrong, "red shifted". Dark blue ("Blueberry") prints as "lilac". Green grass printed with a "straw" colour. And apart from NOT looking as CRISP as they have in the past, and the colours being off, the tops seem OK.
    I have run all the supplied maintainence programmes that come with the IP4500, noozle clean etc.
    I have replaced the ink cartridges with fresh ones.
    It was suggested to be by the people at Discus that I download the latest Canon driver for my IP4500 and install it. I have done this. (ip4500sosx693ej7.dmg). Checking through System Preferences/Print & Fax/Options & Supplies/General - Driver Version is listed as 6.9.3, so I assume it's installed properly.
    I did a test DVD top print after all that and got the same result, Blueberry as Lilac. I then tried printing the DVD top design on a sheet of white A4 and it looked OK, at least the grass was greener.
    So, downloaded and installed lastest driver, (I assume), cleaned the printer noozle and printed a test page which looks fine, which indicates the noozle is clean. Which makes me think the driver didn't install properly. Maybe.
    So can anyone suggest anything else I could try? I'm really at a loss.
    Ta.

    Hello Jay,
    I have never used Discus (I only use Canon's CD-LabelPrint) but reading through your post it does sound like something is amiss with the driver, although the printing okay on plain A4 throws a spanner in the works for that theory.
    Anyway, if you wanted to try removing all the Canon driver files and then installing just the v6.93 driver again, it may prove to be the answer?
    The iP4500 files will be located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter. You can trash all of these files and run the v6.93 installer again. Note that if you ever need a different Canon driver then you can download it from Canon rather than rely on the Meg's worth of outdated printer drivers in this folder...

  • How to set tool tips for graphic objects.

    Hi
    i have a code like this
    here dst is graphic object but i casted ti Graphic2D object because i have to set back ground color.
    Graphics2D lGraphic = (Graphics2D) dst;
    lGraphic.setBackground(Color.RED);
    lGraphic.clearRect((int) lx, (int) ly, (int) lw + 1, (int) lh + 1);
    lGraphic.drawRect(0, 0, (int) lw, (int) lh);
    so now i want to set a tool tip for this lGraphic Object.
    can any body please post answer for this proble.
    if you will post in advance it will help me a lot.

    so now i want to set a tool tip for this lGraphic Object.Your concepts are all wrong. Read the API for java.awt.Graphics and try to understand that a Graphics object is akin to a paintbrush: it has methods to draw whatever is to be drawn. The painting is not the brush, the brush does the painting.
    To obtain a custom tooltip at certain locations within a JComponent, I think the easiest way is to override getToolTipText(MouseEvent me). The method can return null for locations where a tooltip is not to be shown.

  • HELP! Printing colors wrong for CS4 vs CS3

    Every time I have to print something, I have to use CS3 because when I use CS4 the colors come out slightly brighter, flatter and PINKER. I use the exact same print settings as CS3 but it's always wrong. I'm forced to use CS3 for printing only.
    My color profiles are correct so it's not that. One programs prints correctly, the other doesn't.
    Am I an idiot who's missing something that's right in front of my face?
    HELP!
    Thanks!

    CS4 uses the correct path for Leopard and Snow Leopard. If your 
    printer driver is not updated correctly (something Epson seems to have 
    a problem with) for Leopard or Snow Leopard, when application manages 
    color is selected, instead of forcing the driver to No Colormanagement 
    (which is how it works with correctly updated drivers) the driver gets 
    forced to ColorSync which results in double profiling. Also people 
    have reported where the drivers did not install correctly or add 
    correctly and the media settings and profiles did not register with 
    ColorSync correctly. You can check this in the ColorSync Utility.
    You can always try the colorsync utility workaround of telling 
    colorsync to use the same printer profile you choose in the print 
    dialog of the application.

  • Are there event handlers for graphic objects drawn with the CWIMAQViewer toolbar?

    Hi,
    I use the CWIMAQViewer in my VB.Net  application to display images from a CCD camera.  I want to use the toolbar that comes with the viewer to draw graphics (e.g. a circler) over the image.  Is it possible to get the position and radius  of the circle as I drag it and change its size?  If not, what library should I use (I do have the NI Vision module) to achieve my goal?  Thank you so much for your help.

    Try creating the circle as a ROI.  Then take a look at ROI properties.  As an example, ROITop Property: CWIMAQ.ROITop

  • Creating new graphics object from a existing one and sending it for print

    Hello,
    i have a graphics object which is big in size, I am creating a new graphics object from the existing one as given below
    //map is a graphic object
    Graphic g1 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width,height);

    Now I want to send the graphic object g1,g2,g3 for print in the method
    public int print (Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int idx) throws PrinterException {
    // Printable's method implementation
    if (curPageFormat != pf) {

    This is not working... what is wrong. can anybody suggest..
    I tried standardprint.java to print a object inside a scrollpane, it is not printing the entire diagram. so I am thinking of something like this.... Please let me know what to do....
    Thanks

    The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
    Open the project and go to File > Rename.
    Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

  • Need a Graphic Object for printing

    Hi,
    I generate a report with data from a database.
    At the moment I have an object that implements printable.
    Everytime the print method is called the report has
    to be created new.
    Now I want a seperate Graphics2D object in which teh report
    is created for once. And when a print
    job is started I want to copy it to the Graphics object
    in the printmethod.
    How can I create a Graphics2D Object for my own ?
    Thanx Stephan

    try:
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(500, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) bufferedImage.getGraphics();
    g.drawString("Go to town!", 10, 10);This is how I did it when I needed to create images in a servlet. I expect it would also work for printing purposes... I guess I'll find out soon enough. :)

  • PDF printing with wrong colours

    Hi,
    I have created a document in indesign 5 and have now converted to a PDF file, on screen all is well but when I print the file all the colours are changing in a big way.
    The file includes illustrator images, photoshop photographs and text from indesign, everything has changed colour.
    I am not experienced in spot and process colours can anyone give me any tips on how to solve this problem.
    Thanks so much in advance
    Caroline

    Yes I can print colours correctly using other channels for example printing the document directly from indesign is fine and I have tried printing some of illustrator files that i have used within the page and they print fine after being converted to a PDF.
    I did use file-export pdf to save the file what other way is there, I looked under save as and it only allowed me to save the file as an indesign document, maybe I am missing something?

  • Printing graphics object in Landscape or portrait mode

    Hello,
    I have a graphics 2d object (a Tree Diagram) which is inside a JScrollPane,and the JSCrollPane is on a JPanel. it's length and width is more than one page. I am using a printable object to print the object. The task I need to do is,
    (1). compress the width and length of the diagram, so that if can fit into one page, else split the diagram into pages, so that each part of it can be printed on different pages(page size A4) and then later those pages can be merged accordingly.
    I am not able to find, how to split the graphic object(the tree diagram into pages), shoul d I try doing it using x and y co ordinate of the graphic object.

  • Whats the best way to produce PDF output for Graphics

    Greetings;
    I posted something earlier which received no replys, so I figure I probably asked the wrong question.
    I have recently migrated an application over from Delphi and I have to admit that I'm not as familiar with using Java and Graphics as I wish I were - I'm learning fast though..
    Anyway I have an bufferedImage object in which I am drawing a few lines, pasting some text, and drawing circles and such. I currently am saving the file as a JPG using the following snippet of code:
        try
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
          JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(fos);
          encoder.encode(myBImage);
          fos.flush();
          fos.close();
        catch(Exception e)
          System.err.println(e.toString());
        }I've seen a few posts about PDF which all seem related to Text and printing as such - in fact the only post I've seen about converting a JPG to PDF seemed to circumvent the whole graphics object - which isn't a choice (I don't think it is) in my case.
    Can anyone just provide me the best direction to look for this?
    Thanks again;
    Eirik..

    Ouputing PDF manually can be large undertaking, i would recomend you refere to the many open source project of apache to use a pre-built method of output.
    jakarta.apache.org
    ( there are two projects that accomplish what you are trying to do .. i just cant remember their names off the top of my head. )

  • Switch off printer colour management

    Hello,
    I am on a Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and using IDCS5 to print to a Canon Pro 9500 printer.
    When I get to the print dialog, I can only select colour handling by indesign. There is no option for colour managed by printer which is fine because I would prefer to have indesign manage the colours.
    However when I go to printer settings dialog I cannot turn off the printer colour management. There are two radio buttons only in the colour matching section. One is canon colour matching and the other is Coloursync from which I can select from various colour profiles.
    I can't figure out how to disable colour mangement from the printer driver.
    Can someone help me with this please?
    Jach

    I can see what you are saying about objects with different profiles in one indesign document. But the output has to be just one profile - in my case my custom built profile for the type of paper and my inkjet printer.
    So if my understanding is right - Indesign takes the number colours from the various objects in the document and convert them to numbers that my printer will use for a particular type of paper. To do this conversion indesign needs a recipe, and that recipe is in the form of my custum built profile.
    However, what is happening so far, is that indesign is converting the colours using my profile but then the printer driver is also doing some form of conversion which is messing up the colours.
    What I did try is select the right profile in the indesign print dialogue and then went to printer settings and chose colour sync and the same profile from the drop down list. I was hoping that selecting the same profile in both indesign and printer driver would result in preventing double profiling. However the results were bad.
    I am not sure how choosing DocumentRGB is going to help. Because my colour setting across the adobe suite is ProPhoto RGB for the RGB settings.
    If I go to the drop down menu for printer profile, one of the options I get is "DocumentRGB - ProPhotoRGB". Wouldn't this be wrong if some of the images in my document are sRGB or some other colour space?
