Printing suddenly gone light

I'm on windows 7 Home, Photoshop/Lightroom CC package.
I have had a pretty reliable setup for printing. Calibrated monitor, bespoke profiles for ink/paper/printer. Lightroom presets in place - All very repeatable.
Suddenly, about a week ago prints started coming out much lighter than previously. I'm racking my brains as to what I changed. It was about the time I upgraded to 5.6 and latest Camera Raw etc. I did also have a power failure about this time.
I have reinstalled printer drivers and profiles. And tried Lr 5.5. All to no avail.
I'm printing .psd files from Lightroom.
Any thoughts of what I might try?
Thanks,
Roy

Hmm... I'm loosing it - why didn't I think of trying it from Photoshop! So obvious!
It prints fine in Photoshop and I have just rebuilt the preset in Lightroom and corrected the problem.
On a sample of one it all seems fixed!
Many thanks for your help Andrew...

  • HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One won't print magenta or light magenta, even with new cartridges

    The printer suddenly stopped printing magenta and light magenta.  I installed new cartridges from LD, which have always worked in the past, but none worked.  No error messages.

    Hi there @Optical32  and welcome to the forums
    I read about how your Photosmart C6180 is no longer printing in light magenta and magenta, with no error messages. I'd like to offer my suggestion for you that may help.
    Click this link and try these steps: Color Mix or Missing Colors on the Diagnostic Page
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

  • Offline printer now gone!

    My HP all-in-one printer suddenly is not recognized. I tried everything, turning on and off the power, swithcing USB cables, checking the USB port, etc. Message kept reading Printer Offline. Then I read about resetting the printer, now its gone altogether. Computer just does not see it. This all happened after a bad storm when my internet ADSL service (same line as the printer/fax) was down. I even downloaded a new driver from the HP site. But the printer works - I can copy on it but no function from the computer. HELP?????

    Do you mean "resetting the print system?" If so, that deletes all the printers. What happens if you add the printer again with AddPrinter? Or have you already tried that?
    Hope this helps.

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

  • Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

    Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?

    I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
    In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
    Here is a run-down of my process:
    0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
    1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    ( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
    2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
    3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
    Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
    4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
    5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
    Hope this helps.

  • HP P1006 printer prints WAY too light.

    My HP P1006 printer prints WAY too light.  I installed Win 7  (32-bit), then reinstalled the driver, but there has been no improvement. Changing the print density does nothing!

    Hi Jamesmuir,
    You read my mind with your last statement regarding print density; that was my first thought.
    Try following the steps in this document - Redistributing the Toner (This document displays the M1212, but the process is the same).
    Also, try printing a Supplies Status Page (This Document has Instructions for Windows) - see what your page count is for that toner cartridge. The page yield for the standard cartridge (HP 35A/CB435A) is 1500 pages as per HP Shopping.
    Let me know if the redistribution of the toner works or not, and also please post your page count from the supplies status page.
    Thanks!

  • Book printed to bright/light

    Hi,
    when I got my first Aperture book, I was shocked by the bad quality: all images where printed too bright/light. I returned the book to Apple together with some JPEG exports (to iPhoto support) and they agree with me and will refund my money.
    iPhoto support also suggested to try again but I'm afraid the same will happen again. The album was compiled and uploaded with 1.1.0 and I'm on 1.1.1 now.
    Does anyone have a similar quality issue and when you submitted it again, was it better?
    Does anyone know an alternative good (JPEG based) album print service which will deliver pro-quality?
    rgrds rgr

    Just did my first Aperture book and yes the printing is definitely lighter than the screen images appear.
    My guess is that it would be wise to create a display profile that matches the assumedly calibrated printed output so that I can achieve a closer match in future.
    Colors all seemed about right. Cover image is peeling up right off the bat.

  • Has anyone else encountered a situation where images suddenly gone missing?

    i've had files suddenly gone missing on me several times. i was so sure that this might be a bug but now i think it's user error. at least my error.
    a few times i wanted to delete one image and then found that several other images disappeared on me. here i realize that i forgot to deselect all of the other images before deleting the one image i intend to delete.
    another time for some unexplained reason, so it seemed, several images disappeared on me. poof! i couldn't find them anywhere, but i didn't think to look in the Rejected library. later on i realize that i've pressed the zero key by mistake while the images were selected. the zero key rejects the images and placed them in the Rejected library. i've found some of my missing images in this library. phew!
    for those of you who have some missing images, and haven't taken a look inside your Rejected library, take a look and maybe you'll find some of your missing images in there.

    You might just need to clear your search by selecting
    the "x" in the search field.
    Not quite the same as going into the search field and changing the rating slider and selection to show only deleted as by just clearing the search field does not change the slider rating and you'll still not see the rejected files.

  • Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5? Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again? Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    IPHONE 5
    Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5?
    Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again?
    Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • Hp office jet 5740 prints copies too light

    Hi  I just purchased a HP office jet 5740 and have it set up. When I print a color copy
    it comes out very light compared to the original. This happens when printing without being
    connected to the computer. Is there any was to adjust this?

    Hello gloworm2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printed photo being lighter than the original.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I also suggest that you run through the following document that deals with Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e-All-in-On...
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.

  • Project Images/Thumbnails suddenly gone (image count visible)

    Hi,
    The images/thumbnails in one of my projects are suddenly gone. The project image count (number) is still visible in the projects side bar. And I can see the images in the project overview-big-icon window. But the images are not viewed/visible when I click the project. I have tried fixing the database and exporting the project but neither worked. The odd thing is . What can I do?
    Thanks for your help.

  • ICal data suddenly gone and iCal stuck on birthday subscription

    I am on OSX 10.8.4 - iCal data suddenly gone and iCal stuck on birthday subscription - when trying to create events, or enter any data - the following prompt comes up "You can't add or change events on the Birthdays Calendar".  I can not get "off" the Birthday Calendar  - I can no longer access any of the old data or use iCal at all.  
    - Any thoughts? Suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. I have been using MobileMe to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 4. I noticed on Friday morning that all data prior to 6 months ago (23 Apr 2010/Fri) is gone, except for recurring appts (birthdays, mainly). MobileMe may have had something to do with it, but I never log on to the site, and I had not updated my MobileMe calendar online (or iCal on my laptop, either, for that matter). And, I also don't know exactly when I lost all this data, either, which of course doesn't help either the troubleshooting or the recovery processes.
    I confirmed that all my settings (laptop, iPhone, iTunes, MobileMe online) were all set to keep all events forever and to sync all events. As part of checking all this, I got the message about updating my MobileMe calendar, which I did. I didn't lose any additional data. I am diligent about all updates, but if I had realized I was switching from keeping all my calendar data on my laptop to keeping it all on a MobileMe server, I wouldn't have gone ahead.
    Anyway, a Genius confirmed that my settings all look good. I went through the Express Lane chat process and am now in touch with a MobileMe Senior Advisor. We'll see. I'm not especially hopeful but will let y'all know how it proceeds.
