Printing color Swatches for printer profiling in Photoshop

This is the crime scene:
I have two printers, a 9800 and a 9880. I want to profile them both with the i1 PRO and EYE-One Match Software. Half of the archive is in Kodachrome Slides scanned into Adobe RGB (a while ago); RAW files worked in ProPhoto. ALL we use is premium luster 260.
I want to print the color swatches and dont know what option to chose in photoshop to print them: Let Printer Manage Colors, or, on the other side, select "Let Photoshop Manage colors" and Adobe RGB as profile and create a printer Profile that I will use to print the Adobe RGB slide images; and print the swatches again with "let photoshop..." and Prophoto as profile and use the created with those swatches to print the RAW Prophoto images.
or else.
Thanks so much for your time and help!

You need to choose the "No Color Management" option in the first print dialog and then in the Epson portion, you need to choose your paper type under Paper Settings and then choose No Color Adjustment in very next dialog box. That way you are sending pure unadulterated RGB to the printer.

Best color settings for printer

I'm creating a newsletter for a group my organization works with. They want to include tons of pictures which I am editing in Photoshop CS4.
We have a toshbia printer/ copier in our office that runs on CMYK. I converted all the images to CMYK (SWOP) hoping they would print more clearly. However, the colors are seriously off and all the images come out incredibly blurry. Everything else is printing very crisp. Is this a color issue or a printer issue? Anyone know how I can get better quality with correct colors?
Thanks!

What makes you think this is a CMYK printer? Is it driven by a Postscript RIP?
Even though they all use CMYK toners or inks, non-Postscript printers and copiers are considered RGB devices and expect to receive RGB data, which they convert internally using their own conversion tables. If you send CMYK to such printers it gets converted back to RGB and then to CMYK a second time.
If this really is a Postscript CMYK device, the odds are pretty good that SWOP is not the optimal profile to match. It's also important that you decide where color managemtn will take place, in ID or in the printer, and disable the other option during printing. In other word, if you choose Let InDesign Determine Colors youmust turn off and printer color management in the printer controls, or if you choose Postscript Printer Determines Colors you should be sure there is color management in the printer that is enabled.

Exporting and color conversion for print

I have artwork created in Flash MX 2004 that I need to print.
I have never done this and am concerned about color matching.
I realize that Flash works in RGB; my printers need the file
in CMYK and as Photoshop or Illustrator files. Should I export the
image from Flash and place it in Photoshop? I seem to remember that
Flash can convert to CMYK, but can't find validation. Should I copy
and paste from the Flash file into PS? My primary concern is to do
this as simply as possible as I'm dealing with a lot of art and
don't want to spend the time recoloring if I can avoid it.
Thanks.

Has anyone found a good solution for this? I need to export character art from Flash to use for print and consumer product items. Qualtity vectors are required.
The "best" solution I've found so far is to "Print" as either a .PDF or .PS file, then open that file in Illustrator. It expands all the gradients, and creates very complex vectors, but it's better than the standard export to .AI function, which gives offending operator "bg" errors. Still, it is a sub-par result, and I end up having to recreate art anyway.
(I'm using Flash CS4.)
Dear Adobe, this should be a no-brainer ... Please introduce a true vector export feature from Flash to Illustrator that generates art we can actually use.

You don't download anything. This is a configuration thing. Start by reading this and then take it from there using the links provided and an expanded web search:

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.

C7280 photo print colors off for PicBridge images

I have a new C7270 that prints photos that are too yellow when printing directly from USB camera. I've performed a comparison of the same photo printed by the C7280 and also by a brand new Epson Artisan 800. The color of the print from the C7280 is way too yellow, while the Epson seems correct, especially in the whites and skin tones.
I also tested each printer using the Digital Dog test photo and the C7280 blew away the Epson ... hands down. I'd love to keep the HP, but the camera prints are not acceptable. Are there perhaps some type of auto color adjustments being done that I am unaware of when using PicBridge?
Thanks for reading!

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)

How to create seperate color channel for print of illustrator document

Hi,
I need to print a document with partial UV-spots, and cannot figure out how to make my Illustrator document ready for print!
The online print center guides me to:
create a 'seperate print channel' for the specific elements in my document i want covered, with either a '5th color or a special color' set for 'over-print and 100% color'.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Draw the spots you want to use and fill them with a spot color.

Snow Leopard's Default Gamma & Color Correcting for Pre Press in Photoshop CS4

After searching the forums I thought I would start my own thread on this subject.
I have Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 and I have continued to color correct, for pre press, in OS 10.4.11 Tiger with the 1.8 Default Gamma and 6500 color tempurature, using Apple's display calibration tools in the OS's System Preferances.
I want to switch to Snow Leaopard but with it's Defualt Gamma of 2.2, I'm not able to make my minitor manually adjust to the needed range for brightness and contrast that is needed to begin the calibration process. Is there a way to color correct photos, for pre pre press, in Photoshop with a 2.2 Gamma setting in my display preferances?

I have had success just with Apple's System Preferences for color calibration. I do design and pre press for a number of customers of the various printers I work with. Most of the photos I work with are from digital cameras and are provided by the customer. The only point in the whole process, where the photos get adjusted to have eye pleasing color, when coming off the printing press, is when I work with them.
The printers I work with continue to send their customers to me, for design and pre press, because they like my color work on the photos. I send the pre press files as Press Optimized PDFs to the printer's FTP server and the printer does all the direct to plate separations in-house. I want to continue to be reliable in that area and so the brighter default Gamma built into Snow Leopard seems to complicate things if I ever want to move up from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
I have two 17" Apple CRT displays that cannot adjust into calibration range when I'm booted in Snow Leopard. These CRT displays can only manually adjust in range for calibration under Tiger or Leopard. It sounds like if I purchase an IPS based LCD monitor, made by Apple, Dell, or other brands, I will probably be able to manually adjust the display for Gamma 1.8, under Snow Leopard.
I was posing this question about using Gamma 2.2 because if I could color correct for pre press with the 2.2 setting, I could continue to use my old Apple 17" CRT displays and also any web content I create will preview closer in color, on PCs as they will on my Mac. Maybe my review PDFs will view with similar color on my customers PCs if I work with a 2.2 Gamma setting and instead of 1.8. For now I know I will keep my printers happy if I continue to work with a monitor that has a 1.8 Gamma setting and a 6500 color temperature setting. If that must continue to be the standard for pre press, then I will need to get an IPS based LCD monitor that will allow me to adjust in the 1.8 Gamma range while booted in Snow Leopard.

Color Swatch changes when opened in Photoshop CC 2014

I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, here is the scenario:
I create a CMYK color swatch in Kuler and save the swatch, download it as a .ase file, and then load the swatch in Photoshop CC 2014.
When the swatch is loaded all of the colors are lighter than the colors in my kuler swatch.
The below image shows the top kuler swatch, and the colors that were imported once loaded in Photoshop.
TOP: screenshot of my kuler swatch from the kuler website
BOTTOM: screenshot of the colors from my swatch once imported into Photoshop CC 2014
Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
Thanks!

That's because color management is different in Kuler and PS. The good news is that Kuler Panel is now available for PS 2014 at https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2507
You can directly set active color from this panel or include the whole theme into the swatches panel without change in appearance.

Help! Lightroom 3 Color Swatch for Adjustment Brush has Disappeared!

I selected the Adjustment Brush and then click on the color swatch icon. I remember changing the value to 0. Then the color swatch icon just disappeared.I've tried reseting everything in the adjustment brush settings but the color swatch icon is still gone. In addition to that, If I click on the Adjustment Brush to activate it and the click anywhere on the photo, the entire photo disappears. Has anyone had this problem? Do you know how to fix this issue? Thanks.

I also tried restarting Ligtroom 3. That did not help. I tried rebooting my computer. That did not help, either.

Final Print pop up for printer will not pop up

I have used this product for years. In order to print my designs I create them, the OPEN them in photoshop. Go to PRINT, then I select my settings for my Brother GT-3 printer.... then I hit the final PRINT button... then another screen should POP UP - allowing me to save my work and this is not happening. I am using photoshop elements 12. Please help me fix this issue.

I've never come across a prompt to save my image during the print process. That only happens when you try to close an image or the application and you have opened images that have been changed.
Cheers,

Whom do I talk to about new printer or software for printer I have.

I have read in most of the posts this issue goes back and forth. I switched to a Mac 4 months ago and so what I am looking for is.....I am not Mac savvy.
Okay, I have the hp psc 1315 printer scanner and I would like to enlarge the patterns I have. There is no option to say make them poster size. I can only pick a photo size. I need to make them larger than 8x10. I know with a pc you can pick an option to have it print out in poster size but I lost that option in mac format. With the poster size the pattern would print out on more sheets of paper then I would tape them together, which is ok for what I am doing. Should I get a new printer with more options or have you all help me try to fix this one. Sorry so wordy but not sure what I should do.

You might like to try an alternate driver called hpijs - it comes as a three-part install:

HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a, options for printing envelopes

I use the American Greetings program to print out cards & envelopes. when I try to print a greeting card size A9 envelope it is not a supported size in the dropdowns for paper size or media selection. I can get the envelope to print with no problem but it does not print the text or picture on the envelope correctly. Why isn't an A9 envelope supported in the dropdowns?

Hi BH1969,
I understand you are trying to print on an A9 sized envelope. To answer your question as to why the A9 is not listed as an available option, A9 is not a supported paper size.
Found on the Product specifications Page.
As you can see by the chart above, the A9 is not a supported envelope size, thus it will not be found in the drop down options.
I hope this answers your inquiry.

Print(er) settings for printing DIN A6-prescription

Hello All,
a colleague want to print out DIN A6 prescriptions with HP Laserjet 2055 printer. In SAP we use the device tpye 'HPLJ4: HP Laserjet 4 series PCL-5' for this printer.
The prescriptions must be printed out in landscape ( the paper insert at the printer is like DIN A4 in upright format ).
The allocation in the SAPSCIPT is now DIN A5, landscape. But the printer prints out centered.
There is no DIN A6 size available in SAPSCRIPT. Is ist possible to install this in SAP?
Or must there be a special device type in SAP?
Thanks for your helping answers!

no idea?

Print report.vi for printting the frant panel

I download a example,now when i run it ,it can print the frant panel,but there is another dialog .how can i make it disppear .
Attachments:
dialog.jpg ‏208 KB

Hi Fay,
No question is too foolish during the process of learning.
well i did not have to use the highlight execution to detect error, Since in your VI, the error that was poping up had to do something with a file creating operation.
so i checked the path you had set, and it turned out to be an invalid path. Thats all!
And here's something i would like to tell, unless u want to fix the file path, do not keep the file path as a constant.
When Kept as a control, a pop up msg will ask you for the file path, which is easier for you to browze and specify the file path.
hope you enjoy learning LabVIEW.
All the best,
Regards
Dev
