Replacing Graphics w/ White Boxes For Printing?

Hey!
Is it possible to replace graphics/images with white boxes when exporting/printing? Using the "Omit for OPI" option produces black boxes - even worse for saving ink!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Lars

You can use the Attributes panel to make individual items non-printing or you can put them all one one non-printing layer. When you print proofs or make proof PDFs for the client you can include non-pri ting objects. Turn that option off for the final output/PDF.

InDesign CS3 "White Box" when printing with linked Photoshop EPS files

This problem has been covered before, but never really resolved:
Robert Levine, "InDesign CS3 Erratic White Box Phenomenon with Placed Photoshop EPS files" #1, 1 Apr 2008 11:05 am
Now, I'm aware that we should no longer be using EPS files. I wholeheartedly agree. But until we can convince the department to change to another format (namely PSD or TIFF) for our vast library of images, I need a workaround.
It seems that setting the clipping path for each linked image to "Photoshop Clipping Path" resolves this issue. So I tried writing an AppleScript that would find each linked Photoshop EPS and set it's clipping path to "Photoshop clipping path", but it didn't work for me (my expertise with AppleScript is basically nil.)
Can anyone assist with the creation of this script? Or does anyone have a better suggestion for solving or working around the Photoshop EPS erratic white box printing problem?
Thanks!

>Why??????????
Because they've got zillions of EPS and have no time to resave them all and because it
b should
work even if Buko doesn't like EPS...
(Your vendetta against EPS takes on strange proportions. Were you bitten as a child by a rabid EPS and have sworn to wipe them out? Must be an interesting story behind it ;) )
Brian, this script seems to do the job with one very important caveat: I see no way of finding out which path is active in the EPS (in case that more than one). So the script simply activates the first in the list.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set aDoc to active document
set allLinks to links of aDoc
repeat with n from 1 to (count allLinks)
set aLink to item n of allLinks
if link type of aLink is "EPS" then
   set anEPS to parent of aLink
   tell clipping path of anEPS
    set ePaths to photoshop path names
    if (count ePaths) > 0 then
     set clipping type to photoshop path
     set applied path name to item 1 of ePaths
    end if
   end tell
end if
end repeat
end tell

Photoshop Black and White profile for printing

I'm a black and white photographer, so this issue is extremely important for me to resolve. I've been looking online and I have yet to find the answer, so I hope someone can help.
I need to know how to set up the black and White profiles in Photoshop for printing. The printer I have is a canon Pixma Pro 9000 a mark II
I need true black and white. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions. If you need me to provide additional information let me know.

I frequently print black & white work on an Epson, using the Advanced black & white feature in the print driver.
A quick internet search found that there is something similar for Canon - Canon : PIXMA Manuals : Digital Photo Printing Guide : Black and White Printing
I print scanned grayscale files, and have the grayscale profile in PS set to Gamma 2.2.
If you are printing digital photos, they will be RGB, but that will probably not make any difference. But you have to read the documentation for the Canon to find out if it will. IOW - if the image should be Grayscale or RGB.
One very important thing when printing like this is to set the printer to manage colors (not PS) in the PS Print dialog.

Flash 10 just shows a white box for flash elements in IE

I just installed the latest version of Flash 10 and went to see some of my websites that had flash video elemnts on the pages. They all now show up as just a white box wher the elemnts resides. I emediatly uninstalled flash 10 and went back to flash 8 & everything works fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you.

Scale Graphics g in jpanel for print

hi, im having a simple problem.
i am trying to make a program print something.
i have looked at many printing scale functions
but they have not worked for me.
i am passing Graphics g to a class that is drawing on it.
i do not want to change this class to draw with graphics2d.
why isnt this scaling?
any suggestions big or small appreciated!
i dont know if it is worth mentioning that this method is inside a
class that extends JPanel.
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int pageIndex) {
DrawSomething.doDrawing(g); // a class that draws onto g
Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
g2D.translate(format.getImageableX (), format.getImageableY ());
// scale to fill the page
double dw = format.getImageableWidth();
double dh = format.getImageableHeight();
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
double xScale = dw / (length of drawing, here 250);
double yScale = dh / (height of drawing, here 250);
double scale = Math.min(xScale,yScale);
g2D.scale(scale, scale);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}

>
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
}BTW, this is not a good idea. Your print job will probably continue indefinitely this way. do return page==0

Am upgrading to Lion. Does anyone know if this new system will replace the operating system presets for printing that are on Leopard?

Having trouble with my print operating system. It will not hold presets. If I upgrade to Lion, will Lion replace Leopard's print operating system?

It'll likely replace the printer drivers too since some older drivers may rely on Rosetta, which Lion eliminates. Along with new drivers, you may loose printing capabilities, as I did with a legacy Epson printer. Since you're in the Mac Pro forum, if you actually have a Mac Pro, it might be wise to install an additional hard disk and run the Lion upgrade on that. Try it out and see if you actually get an improvement. If not, you've still got Leopard to retreat to and an extra disk to back up on.

On startup of Mac Mini running OS Mavericks login windows are invisible. Login is possible but there are no white boxes for username and password. Keyboard inputs also do not display.

Mac Mini with 2 Ghz Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.9.1. Recent problem with startup screen where I get a gray startup screen that is blank and does not show the login windows for username or password. Mousing over where they should be does provide a cursor change and I can click into the invisible window and login. Also, I can just type the information and hit enter and login without problems but the keystrokes do not appear either. This is not a big problem if I make sure that I type my login information correctly, but if I make a mistake it can be difficult make sure I am in the right place before I retype. Any ideas why the screen is just gray and does not show the windows? Once I type in the login info in the invisible windows and hit enter the computer starts up, loads finder, and runs without any other noticeable problems.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Blank white box for Creative Cloud

My creative cloud will not let me do anything. It is blank white when I start it up. I have restarted the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. It will not even let me sign in. I am also unable to use Muse. It will not let me log in. I uninstalled it but cannot reinstall because I cannot get creative cloud to work. Please help.

On My web site the adobe flash player replaced with a white box "need to install adobe flash player and Java script" both installed. My web site fine using Internet Explorer and Chrome.

I've updated to Firefox ver 5.
Gordon

The FlashPlayer plugin used for Firefox is entirely separate from the one that Internet Explorer uses. You system details do not show Flash Player is installed.
With flash player installed and enabled if you go to the Adobe website it will check that FlashPlayer works, also you will be able to download and install from there if necessary. The site page also has links to troubleshooting information. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Javascript is not the same as Java. Javascript, which is what you need enabled at present is a feature of the firefox browser that needs enabling in order for it to handle the javscript files.
* use '''Firefox button -> Options ->| Content| -> [] Enable Javascript'''

Print Dialog Box for Addon is not showing in Terminal Server

Dear All,
I have created a addon for Automatic Sales Invoice printing that prints the crystal report directly to the printer bu opening a
print dialog box for printer selection through SDK code.
The Same addon works fine on the server with print dialog box being showing through SDK code.
But while running on Terminal Server , print dialog box is not showing any printer though printers are redirected to that
terminal server.I am not getting whether the problem is in my addon or in the terminal server printer settings.
Please suggest as i need to know the reason urgently.
Thanks
Amit

But while using terminal server , the print dialog box is not getting any printer in the dialog box .That's the major concern for me
is their any way to check that why the printers are not showing in print dialog box.
Thanks ,
Amit

White box keeps appearing over list items in design view, I want to know why ?

In my footer area, I have 4 vertical lists that act as my sitemap links, but when I hover over them in design view the entire list gets replaced with a white box and then when I move my mouse away the white box disapears and the list shows again. This does not happen in live view but I would like to know why it does that, or if this will happen when the site goes live, or it just a design view bug.
thank you for any help

White box

I've used Pagemaker for 25 years and am having some issues with InDesign. How do you make a simple white box for masking over items? Thanks.

Let me try that again, posting by email doesn't seem to like my underscores...
Tabs are a great way to make fill-in fields when they all align (right or left). If you have lots of fill-in fields that are different lengths, sometimes dropped into text like _____ this, you can draw a line, cut it, and paste it directly into text with the Text tool. Very controllable (you can set the length exactly, or you can drag and snap to the margin), you can make dotted or dashed rules.
Another good way is to use fixed spaces and underline them, the same way Peter described underlining tabs. Underlines can also be customized for thickness, offset, and line style.
Anything to avoid drawing lots of little boxes!

What monitors are currently most appropriate for print jobs?

Hi, I'm a free lance graphic designer for 20 years already and have always used Aperture Grid CRT Trinitron monitors as the most accurate for creating color jobs for print. I bought my last set of monitors Sony's Multiscan G420 in 2001. While they are still pretty accurate, they are aging and I'm thinking of buying new monitors. At that time - 2001, when I purchased my monitors there were a few other technologies like Shadow mask and LCD which were not good at all for creating graphic design color jobs for print.
I'm not sure if they still sell Aperture Grid CRT monitors anymore and would like to find out what monitors/monitor technology is currently most appropriate for print jobs?
I will greatly appreciate your tips.

I'd go with a Sony, Samsung, or Sharp LCD and use it as a monitor, then professionally calibrate it.
Viola, you have quality, resolution, saturation, accuracy, dependability, all in one

Weird rectangular box replaced the white-space for san serif

I opened up a pdf that used to have a normal san serif text, but now, it has little square boxes for every spacebar spaces. The text comes out good but it's the white spaces that come up in square characters. Most other fonts don't do this but some other ones do this as well. Here is a picture of it:
http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss186/johnclee90/1212.jpg
please help me.

I meant to say InDesign and not pdf. The pdf output of the indesign long ago does not have any square boxes but if I try to export the same indesign into pdf, it has the square things showing up on the pdf as well. Anyways, the sansserif might have already existed, but my actual use of the sanserif came along with an already made CS2 template (I have CS3)from my instructor which was using the font. Everything was fine and normal (as in no square boxes) until recently when I opened the file again.
I checked the font folders in my windows system, and it has SansSerif, SansSerif Bold, SansSerif Bold Oblique, and SansSerif Oblique in truetype font just like any other font files in there.
Also this is the original CS2 template that I work on from. When I first opened this a while ago, it didn't have the weird boxes.
http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss186/johnclee90/111.jpg
could it be that I've installed new fonts to my system since that time?
