Printing issues CS5 to Xerox C320 Laser

Hi There,
I have recently upgraded from CS4 Windows  to a new iMac with CS5. I was getting good prints out of the PC although  when we switched to Mac CS5 I have been getting de saturated prints, no  colour concistancy across progams and it is near impossible to colour  callibrate.
I have double checked that I am using the  correct driver for the Xerox C320 Document Centre, I have experimented  with changing colour profiles. I just can't get a good colour out of any  of the applications. Illustrator is the worst. The prints are coming  out nothing like when they show on screen. I am really confused as all  of the IT experts we have consulted with had advised us that printing on  the Mac would produce a better print that the PC although this is not  the case.
If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this problem it would be greately appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi There,
Thank you for your response.
I have Bridge installed on the Mac and on the PC.
I will take your advice and have a look at how it was set up on the PC.
Thank you for the heads up about Bridge though, I was un aware you could manage colours in Bridge.
Thanks,

    Hi There,
    Thanks you for your response.
    I use a Spyder 3 to callibrate my screen and I have had Syder experts in to show me how to callibrate the paper so we can set up profiles. This worked a little bit. It meant that I could see how de-saturated the print would come out. This didn't help the print quality at all.
    Thank you for your advice. I will definantly look into some alternative devices.

  • Mac O/S X with CS3 printing issues to a Xerox

    I have multiple systems running 10.4.x and 10.5.x using CS3. We can get Acrobat to print when we select "Print as Image", all other applications in the suite will NOT print until we convert them to a PDF. Things were fine when we were using CS2, but once we upgraded all our systems to CS3 we've had nothing but printing issues. What can we expect when CS4 is pushed out?!? Does any one have any recommendations how to FIX this printing problem, we've reloaded our print drivers multiple times, but NO luck?
    Thanks for any ideas or resolutions.

    Reset the printing subsystem and then make sure you install the latest
    printer drivers.

  • OSX 10.6.2 Network Printing Issues - Fiery, Canon & Xerox

    I have tried to find info as to install our networked printers, mostly using Fiery Rips to no avail. EFI has some info, but tried that and it didn't seem to work. Is there any source I am missing? These of course are printers that are a couple of years old.

    Hello Eugene,
    There are several limitations with the current EFI driver on SL. Most of these have a workaround, enough to get you printing.
    The first issue is with the printer driver installation. If your model of RIP has a Universal Binary driver available, then you need to install this driver. You cannot install the PPC driver.
    Canon has a number of UB drivers available for the imagePASS series. Check their web site in your region for the updated driver (which was originally released for the Intel-based Mac's). Note that these drivers may also be called MacTel. If you are not sure which models of Canon/EFI RIPs you have, then reply with the models of Canon device they are connected to.
    For the Xerox/Fiery's, you may have to check the EFI web site for UB drivers.
    With the UB downloaded, the next thing to have on your SL Mac is Rosetta. The EFI drivers require this to install. If your Mac has an Internet connection, SL can obtain Rosetta for you. If you don't have an active Internet connection, then you can install Rosetta via the Optional Installs package on the SL DVD.
    The third item is with permissions on the plugin 'fierycupsfilter'. This is more likely to occur if you had the Fiery driver installed on Leopard and then upgraded to Snow Leopard. The symptom is after you have added the printer and then attempt to print, the message appears "The printer software was installed in correctly. Please reinstall the printer's software or contact the manufacturer for assistance." If this occurs, you can download a patch from EFI that resolves the error.
    http://services.efi.com/support/drivers/download2.asp?oem=efi&sys=Applemac_osx106&ver=NA
    Okay, now that you have the permissions repaired, the next issue is with the Fiery plugins, like Fiery Job Notes, having a line through them in the print dialog. This occurs when using 64bit applications, like Preview and Safari. 32bit applications will not show the same symptom. The workaround is to close the application, locate it in Finder, do a Get Info and set the application to "Open in 32bit mode". Close the Get Info window, open the application and try printing again. The Fiery plugins should now be available without lines through them.
    That's about all I have on the drivers. Like I said, the issues have workarounds so as long as you can get access to a UB driver for the RIP, then you will be able to print until EFI releases SL drivers, which they have started doing for their larger models of standalone RIPs.
    Hope this helps you.

  • (New slant on) Printing at 1200 dpi from inDesign CS5 to a Xerox colour laser.

    I print calendars magazines and stuff like that.
    If I use Photoshop CS3~CS5 I can print a 600 dpi photograph to my Postscript 3 enabled Xerox 1200 dpi laser and get quite good appearance of the photo. Even better if I use a 1200 dpi image in the first place but when I use inDesign CS4~CS5 I can't print to the Xerox at anything over 600 dpi. Sure I can place a 1200 dpi image in the document but it still prints at a resolution that looks suspiciously like 300 dpi and the option to print at 1200 dpi is not available to me. I've filled the xerox to capacity with RAM and have a hard drive in it to store popular documents on.
    I've explored many ways some associates and posters to these forums have suggested but I still can't get the quality of print from inDesign that I get from Photoshop (or for that matter a popular page layout program from Canada).
    The perplexing thing I have yet to find the answer to is:
    Commercial printing presses print at 2400 dpi. (let's not confuse the issue here with lpi screens) inDesign is supposedly a professional level program, you'd think would be capable of delivering 2400 dpi output if commercial presses use that resolution. If this is so... Can anyone tell me please how to make inDesign output 2400 or even 1200 dpi?
    I've tried distilling the document to a PDF and using pure postscript to no avail. If the printer did not accept 1200 dpi images from Photoshop, I might be tempted to believe it was a printer issue but I'm satisfied it is not. I might point out that I also have an old Minolta (Postscript 3) colour laser too. It produces better quality output than the Xerox but at a huge cost of consumables. I also recognise the Xerox is a LED laser and not the ideal choice for image reproduction but still quite good enough (from Photoshop) for the work it is doing.
    Thanks in advance

    "John... You seem to be knowledgable in the area of RIPs and platemaking so here's a question you might care to answer. Suppose my platemaker can make a plate at 5080 dpi. (Forget the screening pitch for now) how do send an inDesign document to the platemaker at 5080 dpi resolution? For that matter how do I send any device a document at more than 600 dpi using inDesign? Answer that and you've answered my original question."
    ID's "Print Presets" for Postscript output are based on the RIP's PPD.  Since I do not have a RIP connected to my current workstation, the preset defaults to 'device independent'.  The only setting for resolution is the transparency flattener which can be set to "High Resolution".  You should be able to use the Xerox's RIP PPD in the "Print Presets" under File > Print Presets; where the output resolution should be able to be established.  My hunch is, you may have to settle for "High Resolution" and the RIP will output the highest resolution available in the Xerox machine ( if there are no options for resolution in the presets ).
    "The only way I can import an indesign PDF into a my pagesetter is to interpolate the images to 1200 ppi seperately from the text and line art which can be 300 dpi or ppi without showing discernable difference. Perhaps your reply in this area was regarding text, not images?"
    No.  This is backwards.  Text and line art is set at output resolution ( i.e., 2540dpi ).  You would definitely see a different between 300dpi vs. 2540dpi, especially in small text and the smoothness of lines.  Adobe has a Postscript formula for output resolution. I quote from their Print Publishing Guide "The maximum number of grays that most output devices can produce is 256."  Their Postscript formula is ( output resolution ÷ screen ruling )2 [ squared ] + 1 = shades of Gray.  So, typical offset imagesetter = 2540dpi ÷ 150lpi = 17 x 17 = 289 + 1 = 290 levels of gray.  More than enough to generate smooth blends.  In short, lasers ( or, in your case, LEDs ) typically cannot generate enough resolution to produce what you want.  Which is 1200ppi image resolution(?).  1/1200 LED is about half of what you need for the resolutions you're looking for.
    The long and short of it is this.  InDesign is capable of setting its resolution as "High" for raster setting ( i.e., transparency flattener ).  I agree with you it is frustrating that you cannot set the output res anywhere in ID.  I believe that is because it ( the resolution ) is left up to either the RIP or the Print Driver ).
    "The perplexing thing I have yet to find the answer to is:
    Commercial printing presses print at 2400 dpi. (let's not confuse the issue here with lpi screens)"
    No.  The standard is 5080dpi; 2540dpi is minimum ( see my Postscript levels of Gray formula above.  When I prepare an ID file for offset printing, I first have to determine the print vendor's RIP LPi.  This number determines image resolution which, typically is referred to as 2x the LPi.  LPi is ( or should be ) determined by the press itself, the paper, and the inks.  Desktop lasers are totally different.  InDesign does the user a favor by defaulting to device independent so that multiple file do not have to be generated for proofing.  Adobe leaves the print resolutions up to the output device.

  • Xerox, Win 7, Adobe printing issues

    HELP...2 New computers are Windows 7 with CS4 premium on one and CS4 Standard on the other
    PROBLEM: None of our Adobe files will print correctly to our 2 Xerox printers (7750 and 6350). Even though page layout is correct the documents are printing extremely reduced. We have downloaded and installed the Windows 7 Drivers from Xerox -- but this did not correct the problem. Also it is only the Adobe products (All) that don't print correctly. Big problem for a small design firm.

    PLEASE!!!! Is there anyone I can talk to about our problem with CS4, Windows 7 & and Xerox print issues. The Adobe software is the only one that seems to have a problem printing and since replacing our Xerox printers (7750, 6350) is not currently an option,  I need a resolution. 
    We are a small design firm and I have 4 licenses for CS4.  We generally upgrade every other version -- which means we would be investing in CS6 when it is released. I know we are small potatoes in the Adobe world, but this is business and I can't imagine (just looking at all of the threads online), that someone is not working to find a fix for this.
    We have downloaded and installed the latest Win7 drivers for both printers. This did not resolve the issue.
    HELP -- This is very frustrating. Right now we are saving everything as JPEG files to print -- not a good solution for a graphic design firm.

  • Magenta Printing Issues in CS5 and LR3

    Hi,
       I have seen this issue mentioned in various forms over the last year or so but I have yet to see a real solution to the problem I am now experiencing.
    History:
       I was running a Vista 64b OS and using LR 2.X and Epson's r2880 printer.  I was able to print using LR 2.X without any issues both in B&W and color using the various papers, using iccs provided by various vendors (Moab for example)  I never had the Magenta printing issues.
    Fast Forward:
       I recently installed LR3 and CS5 under the same OS (Vista 64b) and when I print in color it is obviously Magenta heavy.   I am following the same practices as before of having LR3 manage the color (using one of the vendor iccs) and setting "No Color Managment" in the printer driver UI.  Doing this gives me terrible crazy Magenta prints.  I have un-installed and re-installed the Epson Printer driver numerous times with no positive effect.  The causal effect was installing CS5 and LR3. These were the only changes made.
    I also did try and print in CS5 with the same Magenta results.  I posted in this thread along with the LR board also as I feel the LR3 and CS5 issue is related to some common theme.
    I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and had found a solution other than switching over to a Mac.
    This is very frustrating and depressing.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Thanks for the great Feed back.  I was able to fix the printing problem by doing several things:
    1) Re-install the printer drivers
    2) Runnning the printer through nozzle checks and cleaning cycles. Had to peform the cleaning cycle 3 times.
    3) Replacing the yellow ink cartridge.  The ink level was showing about 15% remaining but in fact I was out of yellow ink. I had read that the ink levels were not always accurate.
    So for me this issue has been solved.  Thanks for the help.

  • Printing issue in Photoshop CS5

    I have an issue when printing in CS5 with my Epson Photo R3000 networked printer. I am running Windows 7 64bit and CS5 64bit. I have 2 Epson printers connected to my network by ethernet cables, 1 Epson PX720WD (Set as default printer in Windows) and an Epson Photo R3000. Te problem is as follows:
    1 Go to print a photo and select the R3000 printer, select Print Settings (make changes as required) select ok and then print. This works fine the issue is that if you select print again and then select Print Settings I get an eror box with the message "because the requested printer does not exist". This can be overcome in 2 ways neither of which is convenient. Select the PX720WD printer for the Printer drop down box then go back and reselct The R3000. or make the R3000 printer the Windows default. When the R3000 is the default printer then ihe PX720WD will not print more than once without getting the "because the requested printer does not exist".
    I have spent over and hour and a half chatting online to epson today without success and they decided that you should always have the printer you want to use set as the default. This is not acceptable as in other applications this issue does not exist, so maybe its a CS5 issue.
    Any help with this matter would be most useful

    If you don't have a second 'real' printer try installing a generic one. then at least you can switch to that one for a work-a-round. I have the exact same issue with my HPZ6100 60"on Win7 Pro 64, CS5 Extended. I thought it was HP's Win7 drivers since my old setup (XP and CS3) worked flawlessly with the HP. Actually the HP 64 bit drivers suck a lot with my current setup; unable to save or recall postscript page sizes and that 'printer doesn't exist every time I try printing a new file. Since I have a number of other printers installed I just do the 'switcheroo' and that takes care of it. Pain in the -ss but because HP has their heads up their backsides it's unlikely anyone there realizes that they used to make really nice printers and at one time had an excellent support system for imaging professionals. Grrr

  • Photoshop CS5.1 printing issue

    I am unable to print anything in Photoshop. I just upgraded to CS5.1, 64-bit, from CS3. When I use the print command I get the message "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing."
    When I click OK, I then get "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
    How can I check my printer settings or select a printer when I can't get the print dialog to appear? I get these messages no matter what files I open.
    I have a second computer on which I just did a new install of CS5.1 (not an upgrade), with the same printers and drivers, and it works fine.
    Any suggestions?
    --Doug

    There really is no such thing as an upgrade.  It is all the same program, just a price break.  So you probably have some printer issues left over from the previous version on the computer you "upgraded" to CS5.1.
    Check to see it you have the correct printer listed.
    If that looks OK you might reset the preferences and it will clean out any junk that might be a problem.  Start PS and IMMEDIATELY hold down the ctrl + alt + shift keys.  You should get a reset window.  A little tricky, so keep trying if it does not work the first time.

  • Issue while printing to A4 from Xerox J75 (fiery) through Mac OSX 10.9.3.

    I've encountered an issue while printing to A4 from Xerox J75 (fiery) through Mac OSX 10.9.3.
    The document and printer settings are set for A4 but the print job goes to the printer as A3.
    The problem only occurs while printing through Adobe Photoshop CS6.

    I get into trouble if I choose A4 borderless instead of A4 in the Photoshop Print settings.
    There, Tray 2 is dimmed out
    To be honest, I don't see borderless in your settings, but my  doing that on my printer causes a default to the larger Tray 1.
    That's all I have tonight. If I think of anything else, I'll post it.  Here's thread on this issue as well.

  • 10.7.2: Xerox 8560N Printing Issue (xerox v2.0.9)

    I upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 yesterday and I have been printing to my Xerox Phaser 8560N before and after the upgrade.
    I went to Xerox and found that they had a new printer driver for OS/10.7 (xerox version 2.0.9) so I installed it. After that, printing in any application (Mail, Safari, InDesign, PhotoShop, Preview, &c.) would cause that program to freeze. Removing the Xerox printer completely and printing to my Epson would cause no issues.
    My solution was to revert back to the Xerox Driver specifically mentioned for OS 10.6
    Everything prints fine now and no freezing on print command.
    I hope that this will help someone.

    I had the same issue. Spent a LOT of time with Apple support (at least they try to help!!! Even when it is not their problem!!!). Calls to Xerox...wew! Hope your [insert forgeign language here]-to-English translating abilities are good. Also plan to wait on hold. In the end they say uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Ummm...did that many times bud! Then they say contact Apple because Apple is having problems with printing on 10.7 with many brands of printers. I said...tried that bud...its not their issue, its yours (Xerox's). I gave him option #3...throw the printer off the balcony. He could not endorse that option!
    OK, so like the above said...
    1)     Unistall printers (go to system preferences and use the minus sign)
    2)      go to the Xerox driver website. Download the 10.6 driver from 2009. I know the newer one from 8/11 says for OSX 10.5-10.8. Trust me.
    3)     If your printer is on a network and you are having trouble finding it and Xerox's wonderful (cough cough) Walk-Up Technology fails you...PLUG TH PRINTER IN DIRECT (ethernet to ethernet in my case)
    4)     Try to reinstall
    5)     Unplug Printer and plug back into router.
    6)     Double click on the 10.6 driver you downloaded again and this time it will find/discover the printer.
    7)     PRINTS FAST JUST LIKE BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mavericks upgrade Xerox C2200 Print issues

    Previous templtes and options on 10.9 setup to print envelopes on the bypass tray on my C2200, upgraded to Mavericks and now envelope printing on the bypass tray printing 90 degrees out. Preview looks fine as it always has before clicking print. Using the Xerox Driver 4.0

    Thanks Carolyn, Xerox support site has to be the slowest in the world... The OS X driver is older than the OS X 10.8 driver, 26/8/2011 vs 29/5/2013, though if you click view other drivers on either you get access to an updated driver dated 26/9/2013... Updated driver hasn't helped.

  • Printing issues on network printer (Xerox Phaser 4500DT)

    I need to be able to print to a network printer which is a Xerox Phaser 4500DT. It is simply networked from its IP address. I have the latest driver. Every time I try to print anything the job automatically goes on pause. If I click resume, it does print, but this takes time, every time I print. The URL is "pap://*/Phaser%204500DT/LaserWriter".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I can no longer print multiple jobs to any of my Phaser 4500 machines(N/DT)? If the printer is clear, the job will spool and print.
    If more than one job is sent or multiple users print at the same time, the local print queue is changed to 'PAUSE PRINTER' - I have tried printing via Appletalk, Bonjour & IP printing, the same problem occurs.
    Why does 10.5.6 not allow you to spool and queue a print job any more? This is VERY frustrating in a busy office with multiple users attempting to print at the same time! - Any advice would be gratefully received!
