Printing with the iMac -- "Color Matching"

I have an iMac running OS10.6.8 and I am printing photographs to an Epson 3880 from the photo editing software Nikon Capture NX2. In Capture NX2 I set colour management to application manages colour as well as choosing the profile to which I want the printer to print. At this point I also choose Intent and Black Point Compensation. I hit print and up comes the print window under OS10.6.8. Here I choose to turn off control of color management by the printer driver under "Printer Settings" from the drop down menu titled "Layout". When I come to the item "Color Matching" in the drop down menu I find that "EPSON Color Controls" is highllghted. But at this point I can deselect this setting and select "ColorSync". If I select "ColorSync" I then can choose from "Automatic" or any of the paper profiles I have on my computer. What determines which one I choose, that is which of "EPSON Color Controls" or "ColorSync"?
I was inclined to think that it was "ColorSync" and then choose the profile that I chose back under the NX2 print window. But this produces bad results. If I leave it to "EPSON Color Controls" I get perfect results (at least so far). But the name of this choice seems to suggest that the Epson print driver manages the colours which I do not want to happen. So I would like to understand what is going on here. What is one doing when one make the various possible selections that one can make under "Color Matching"?
Regards,

I have a Canon MX880. It quit printing with the cyan color for no apparent reason.

I have a Canon MX880 printer. For some reason, it no longer uses the cyan color with printing. I have all colors except those that need cyan. The cartridge is full. Cleaning didn't help.
Solved!

I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

IPhoto says themes are missing and it won't print. All the support says to reload the application but I didn't get disks with the iMac. What do I do now.

Can anyone recommend a printer that works well with the IMAC?

I am new to the Mac world and bought an IMAC with Iphoto08. My main reason was for printing photos and using the great graphics of an IMAC. But, I have no printer as of yet because I don't know which printer would work best with the IMAC. Please helppppppp

Nikki,

The 88+ is a very good inexpensive printer ..... it is temporarily "out of stock", but press the "Notify Me" button on the web page. You will also need a printer cable sold separately, but which Epson lists when you are able to order the printer.
Also check their ink jet photo-type print papers. (I do not work for Epson .... but I've used their products for years and never had any problems). I know of two instances where the printers were duds, but Customer Service replaced them without a hassle.

What's the best monitor to pair with the iMac 21.5inch 2013?

What's the best display for under £150 to pair with the the iMac 21.5 inch 2013?
In terms of best match resolution dimensions etc?

I would highly recomend this one: http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B009V8F700/ref=sr_1_ 2?ie=UTF8&qid=1391319784&sr=8-2&keywords=aoc+monitor
It is a great monitor and I will be soon buying one for the same computer you have
It has the same aspect ratio and same resolution but is a bit bigger but with the iMac having 1" borders arround the display they should line up pretty well.
Good Luck!!

Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac

How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
Hope this helps

Cannot get printer to print with my iMac but will print from my dell laptop?

cannot get my printer to print with my imac but will print from my dell laptop?

OK, well you haven't provided any information so there isn't anything we can do. What is needed at the bare minimum is:
Exactly what printer are you referring to?
How is it connected to the iMac (USB, Wi-Fi, etc...)?
What steps you have taken to connect the printer?
What errors you have run into.
What I would recommend is using Apple's Printing Overview OS X Lion to learn how to install it. Also take a look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if it's even compatible with Lion.

Designjet 130. The printer prints not the right colors

The screen of my MacBook Pro itself periodically switches the color. That is, with the usual colors, on some blue. What to do? Should be repaired, or you can figure out the most? HELP ME PLEASE!

LambChops1,
I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
You should be ashamed!!

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

We have an older IMac (preIcloud) and just purchased a new Macbook Air. Our Iphones are set-up to synch with the IMAC and my calendars on the IMac & the phone look the same. But when I open ICal on the MacBook Air my calendar is missing items? Help..

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?
