Results are different when printing from CS5 and CS4

A file that printed fine with Photoshop CS 4 printed very dark when printed with CS5, with no changes made to the settings. Has anyone else had this problem?

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

[none] on center of page when printing from CS5

All of the sudden a [none] is printing accross everything I print from CS5. There is no error message and the print goes through without a problem.
I can print from MS word and other programs without a problem. I'm printing to an HP3800 and my OS is Win7.
Any help would be appreciated!

I did the ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting photoshop. I also uninstalled the only plugin I had installed.
Below is the last bit of information from the Help -> System Info....
Plug-ins that failed to load: NONE
Flash:
   Mini Bridge
   Kuler
   Access CS Live
   CS Review
   CS News and Resources
Installed TWAIN devices: NONE
Guess it could be a font issue. What do you reccomend for font validation (OS win7)? Found this info on MS website. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontvalidator.mspx
NOTE: The proof I am currently trying to print is flat....
UPDATE: I am able to print the same document from CS6 on a mac without issue.

The risk analysis results are different when choose report type as "summary" and "management" summary

Hello experts,
I found a expired user with SOD conflicts in "management summary" report format, but it doesn't exist in "Summary" report. You can find the screenshot in attached file. The user name is "YINPENG2_BK".
What happened? The result of different report formats are from different data source?
Sincerely yours,
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
that's not an issue from the system. It's more a handling issue as the results are splitted into several result sets. In management summary view you have only one result set as it's grouped by user and risk, whereas you have more than one in summary view (as you have multple entries for each user and risk).
Change to the second, third, etc. result set and you will see the user in the list:
Regards,
Alessandro

Lr4 and Blurb layouts are different when printed

Hi all,
I've recently received a printed photo book from Blurb, I did the layout in LR4 on the "book" module and then sent it to Blurb to be printed.
There were a couple of double page photos and obviously i set all the photos out with complimentary photos on facing pages.
However I just received the book from Blurb and the pages are all pushed forward (or back) a page so the double page spreads are now half a photo on the same page but opposing sides and the rest of it has been all thrown out also....
The LR4 layout has the pages numbered and facing each other starting with 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 etc as I would expect, however my book is 1, 2-3, 4-5 etc so 1 is facing the cover sheet.
Blurb are saying that it's either due to Flash and Java not being up to date (which they are) or sending the file over a wireless connection and I should try hard cabling....this makes no sense to me as a connection isn't responsible for page numbering.
They have been good enough to print the book again but I need to know how to get around this problem before so. Anyone had a similar experience or know where I'm going wrong?
There are some pics so you can see the problem....the first 3 are from the Blurb preview and final printed book...the last 3 are screenshots from the LR layout showing how I would assume the double page spreads and other photos would turn out....
I did preview the book on the Blurb website (just out of interest) after I had uploaded and ordered it, it was the same as the printed book, before the printing process began I ask Blurb suport to check it for me and resolve it but they didn't know how it was going to look for some reason or didn't quite understand the problem...one person was trying to tell me how to put actual page numbers onto the book....
Anyway, all and any help appreciated...

No. In both cases, the TIFs were simply placed into the document and left untouched from that point forward.

Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

Hello,
We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
ApeosPort C5540I
Xerox LF6605 MF
The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

Issues with image centering when printing from CS5

I contacted EPSON tech support about this issue, they are putting the blame on the application used - in my case Photoshop CS5 printing with an EPSON R2880.
I am trying to figure out exact print tray margins to take into account when printing horizontal 13x19 images on EPSON's Hot Press 13x19 paper on the R2880 (via manual roll single feeder).
These are not borderless full frame images, 13x19 image files set on white with exact white frames around the image, so the shift in centering becomes quite obvious on the print.
Here are the two print settings I have tried, both do not center the image correctly:
Selected Scale to Fit Media & Center Image Top:0 Left 0.105
Selected Center Image: Top: -10,152 Left -0.118
(margin values are entered in the print window automatically)

u are probably not getting much help on this unless you post screenshot of your process (starting with File> Print window)
remember, Photoshop can print a document correct regardless of how it looks on the monitor (and vice versa: Photoshop can display a document correct regardless of how it prints)
i recommend getting a known target like the WhackedRGB.jpg and see where the problem is occuring (in Photoshop color management settings, on the monitor, on the printer or both)...

8500A horizontal steaks when printing from ipad and other devices

When I print from a remote device (I-pad, I-phone) my documents have horizontal streaks that are bad enough to prevent you from seeing the words. This also happens when I print from my Mac to the printer when printing a PDF or other document from the internet. These all are situations where the print window doesn't give an option to print the highest quality.

Hello @Alfount ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a print quality issue with your Officejet Pro 8500A.
I would like to help.
Try going through the following print quality document.
Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer Series
You can also install the HP ePrint app onto your iPad. It will give you the option to print in a higher quality.

Gradient Feather not appearing when printing from CS5

I've created a document in InDesign CS5 and placed a box with a gradient feather over an illustrator image (vector). For some reason, the box isn't printing with the feather, but rather as a solid image. I've experimented with importing the illustrator image and box into Photoshop and saving as a tif file, then reimporting into InDesign. The gradient then prints fine, but now there is a moire pattern. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Try applying the gradient feather to the frame that contains the graphic (don't make a separate frame).

Acrobat X freezing when printing from IE and other apps

Since the last update, each time I try to print to .pdf while in Internet Explorer, or other Microsoft applications, it will not print to file AND it freezes the application (I am left with a print window frozen AND the application frozen). Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi HRPRO-MT,
Please try repairing Acrobat and check if it solves the issue.

When printing from Firefox (and Thunderbird) the 'Portrait' and 'Landscape' dimensions are reversed, resulting in compressed images.

Using Windows 7, home edition. In print preview, when in Portrait mode, the page to be printed is shown in a vertical format, but the page layout is horizontal. It is reversed in Landscape.
Prints come out compressed and unreadable.

It seems that this is a Firefox bug, dating back to 2002, if you can believe that. Apparently, nobody who knows enough to fix it is available to work on it. You can check out the official bug report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org//show_bug.cgi?id=154892

"transparent" bounding boxes appear when printing from InDesign and Acrobat

Hi. I have encountered a problem with both CS4 and CS5 InDesign and Acrobat 9.0. Mac OS 10.5.8. When I print (artwork flattened before I create PDF with standard "Press Quality" from InDesign or Adobe Illustrator default from Illustrator) lighter areas that are rectangular shaped will appear on the color print. We use a rip and this appears to happen randomly. I have spent considerable time troubleshooting this...I have used every work around I can think of—to no avail.
1. What is this?
2. Why is this happening?
3. Is there technical information out there to help me get rid of it?
Thanks so much!

Solid areas of lighter color. I am not sure if our rip can handle live transparency. It is a Fiery 8e Release 2. I tried a solution from a previous post that suggested de-selecting the Pantone match option when I print and that did work.
The PDF's are high res. It has even happened on some PDF's that were created through Distiller as high res. I have seen this at the print shop I work at and also at the college where I teach design.
Thanks so much for your quick response.

Print outs are blurry when printing from a web page.

I have sorta a strange problem with my printer that I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with. I have an HP 895 series printer that I got from an website not long ago. I bought (remanufactured) ink cartridges for it because it looked like the ink was running out, but after I put them in the prints started to look really blurry to where it would kind of hurt my eyes to look at it. I tried cleaning around the cartridges and printer as best I could and aligned the print cartridges. The problem is that the alignment page prints ok, I even printed a word document which looked fine, but when I try to print any type of web page from firefox, it still comes out blurry. It seems as if it is still not aligned. I'm not sure if there is anything else I can try or anything I can do to correct this. I'm just wondering if anyone has some suggestions.

If it is blurry after you installed the remanufactured cartridges, then it is the cartridges. If there is a printhead cleaning utility in the print driver, then run that, it may help. The only other possibility I can think of, is if you also changed to a different type of paper, but that is less likely.

Can Reader XI cause program conflict when printing from MS Word?

Hi There
I have this machine:
Intel Core i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 8,0GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
I am using Office 2007, Win2PDF Pro 7, Adobe Reader XI. My Anti Virus is Kaspersky Internet Security 2014. I have the latest service pack for Win2PDF Pro 7.
When I print from Word using Win2PDF Pro 7 I get the first document printed OK but the machine freezes when I try to print another. This system works perfectly when printing from Project.Libre, Paint.NET, Excel, and a 148-page printout of my Reference Manager database.
This problem occurs only when printing from Word, and has appeared since I upgraded to Reader XI.
Can you help?
Thanks

Was already running latest version 11.0.10. Tried the re-load fix; tried uninstalling and installing a new one from the web. Problem still exists -- cannot print any document from Adobe Reader XI. Computer freezes when the print file is being prepared at 0%.

Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

No, but if you really mean that the way you said it, I don't know that Print is the best way to this. If you haven't already, after selecting the images you want to get printed, try clicking the Export button in Book or Library module and then selecting format .PDF. Once you export the file to .PDF, try opening it where you saved it and printing from there, not in Lightroom but in Adobe Reader. If that doesn't help, here are a couple of videos that might--follow their instructions carefully with no shortcuts:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4's Export to PDF Using the New Book Module - YouTube
Lightroom 5 - Exporting Images | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV
If Lightroom keeps closing even when you try all this, you may need to reinstall Lightroom because your copy may be screwed up.
