Separate into print colours other than cmyk

Hello.
Here's somthing I'd like to try in various printing procedures that don't necessarily provide their own rip (silkscreen, risograph), so my question in general and in theory: Is there a way to seperate a colour image (rgb, lab, or even cmyk) into a combination of something like some Pantone 3945 C, 300 C, 192 C, 7407 C, 806 C and some intense Black? Knowing of course that with such a combination, the resulting colours wouldn't be quite true to the orginal, and that both mentionend printing techniques will result in somewhat unexpected results particularly when in need of a raster for six colours. But the same question goes for simpler combinations. (And of course, with the inention to have something at least remotely similar to the original, converting a greyscale image to doutone (tritone quadtone) is not really an option.) An additional question would be where and how to rasterize (would those producing the films for the silkscreen know how to? What if they don't? And what about the risogaph?)
Thanks for any idea

Please let me correct myself:
From ProfileMaker 5 Professional help:
Creating a MultiColor Profile
With the MultiColor Module you can create MultiColor ICC profiles for output processes
with up to 10 colors.
Two different modes are available and will determine which profiles you can generate:
– CMYK+N for MultiColor profiles with CMYK and up to 6 additional spot colors (MultiColor Module)
– N-color for MultiColor profiles with up to 10 spot colors even without CMYK.

PSE6 Mac Printing Colours darker than PSE4 - Adobe accepts problem !Help!

*PSE6 Mac Printing Colours darker than PSE4 - Adobe accepts fault*
My work requires that when I create prints for artists I must replicate all the prints exactly everytime. It worked perfectly from PSE2, PSE3 and PSE4 but now......
I am unable to replicate quality of printing on MACOSX PSE6. it works great on PSE4. I mailed some printed images on art paper to adobe in amsterdam and a cd with the same images. After weeks of discussions phone, email and after testing using their work flow....they came back with some answers.
Finally a couple of replies from Adobe re colour problems and they have accepted that they are double managing the image and that I should use printer management to do the colour conversion.. here are their two replies and the comment that they will now drop me until???????   
Answer #1   Your Customer Service Number is: 129800224   Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.   After consulting with my colleagues about the issue you raised, I can let you know the following:   The issue is both on our as well as the driver software side and the workaround we have given is the best available at this time. This issue is affecting all printers, not just Epson or Canon.   The soft proofing effect that you are seeing in the print preview is indeed an attempt at soft proofing. However since Photoshop Elements managed prints are incorrectly double colour managed it is not as useful as it was initially designed.   As to the exact details of why this occurred, we have no official information.   We believe that this will resolve the issues you are experiencing, however, should the reply not help solve the problem, please contact us again, quoting the case number given above, and we will re-open the case.
  Answer # 2  Subject: Re: Adobe TS #180107025 / Mario / PSE6 oversaturated Print (KMM3793441I51L0KM)   Dear Mr. Laugesen,   We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.   The Photoshop Elements team are aware of the problem and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly. In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management.   Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.

finally fixed With PSE9

Printing Envelopes Other Than #10 with HP LaserJet 4240 Envelope Feeder

I'm trying to use an HP LaserJet 4240 and an HP 75-sheet Envelope Feeder to print envelopes from FileMaker Pro. HP's specifications for the envelope feeder note that it accepts "various sizes of envelopes." However, we are unable to specify any size other than #10 envelopes in the print dialog box. #10 envelopes print just fine, but choosing a different envelope size (like C5) in Page Setup and attempting to print brings up an error message saying that only #10 envelopes can be printed and asking if the document should be scaled to fit that size envelope. If you agree and continue printing, the printer shows "Service Error" on its display.
The workaround I've used so far is to put text out to the very edge of the #10 margins in FileMaker and just load larger envelopes. This leaves too large a margin, however, and I'd really like to be able to print to the actual size of a C5 envelope.
I've tried specifying a letter sized sheet of paper and setting the paper feed to "Envelope Feeder" but the printer is smart enough to know that letter paper can't go through the feeder and asks to specify a different tray.
Has anyone succeeded in specifying a custom envelope size that will print via the envelope feeder? I don't want to have to manually feed envelopes into the printer as that's why we purchased the envelope feeder in the first place!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone can offer.

How to print a monochromatic image in a colour other than black?

I have an image in photoshop that is currently black and white, but I would like to print in a monochromatic green, as in just #00ff00 colour; so that it prints in green and white. How do I edit the image so that it prints like this?

Use your B&W image, inverted, in the mask channel of a Solid Color Layer with the specific colour that you require. Underneath that put a solid white background layer.
Use linear blending (Ps default is gamma 2.2). In Edit > Color Settings, set RGB blending to 1.00.

How can I insert into a table other than the default table in a form

Hi,
I want to insert into a table with some fields value of a form of another table. I have written insert code On successful submission of that form, but after submit it gives the following error
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error (WWV-16016)
My code is like this
declare
l_trn_id number;
l_provider_role varchar2(3);
l_provider_id varchar2(10);
begin
l_trn_id := p_session.get_value_as_number(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'A_TRANSACTION_ID');
l_provider_id := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'A_PROVIDER1');
l_PROVIDER_ROLE := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'A_PROVIDER_ROLE1');
if (l_provider_role is not null) and (l_provider_id is not null) then
insert into service_provider_trans_records(service_provider_id,transaction_id,role_type_id)
values(l_provider_id, l_trn_id, l_provider_role);
commit;
end if;
end;
Where 'PROVIDER1' and 'PROVIDER_ROLE1' are not table fields.
How can do that or why this error comes ? Any idea?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi,
When do you get this error? Is it while running or while creating the form.
Here is a sample code which inserts a non-database column dummy into a table called dummy. This is done in successful procedure.
declare
l_dummy varchar2(1000);
begin
l_dummy := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=>'A_DUMMY');
insert into sjayaram903_1g.dummy values(l_dummy);commit;
end;
Please check in your case if the size of the local variable is enough to hold the values being returned.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Is there a way to format Safari text into a language other than American?

The other day I was mystified when the spell-checker in my Word 2011 word-processor seemed to go bananas.
Despite all my language settings in Word being set to 'English (UK)', the spell-checker kept insisting on checking my document in 'English (US)'.
It eventually turned out that the reason for this was because I had copied & pasted some text from a website into my document using Safari as my browser.
When text is copied from Safari, (or, at least, my installation of it), it seems it is always formatted in American English, and this then requires re-setting of the document's language after each paste.
I have tested doing exactly the same thing, (same text on the same website), with the Firefox browser, and I find that text from there does not affect the language settings in Word, and that all my document remains in English (UK) as it should.
Is there any setting in Safari that I can adjust to prevent it insisting that any text copied is in American please?

Yes, thanks Tom.
I was fairly sure it was thus anyway, but I did check as you suggest, and British English is at the top of the list.
I'm pretty confident that this is a Safari-specific issue; as I say, when I do the same thing with Firefox I don't have the problem.

Upgrade from sqlserver 2008 to sqlserver 2014, can I put software into different drive other than C: ?

Originally my sqlserver 2008 software was installed into E:, but I didn't see any drive selection options available during the upgrade steps, so now my sqlserver 2014 is installed into default C: drive.
If there are any ways to specify different drive ?
Thanks
Sophia Su

“Upon doing the initial upgrade, can I designate the target drive/letter”?
I didn’t see a place to change it in the upgrade process.
I don't want to uninstall sqlserver 2008, I just want to upgrade from 2008 to 2014 and be able to put the sqlserver 2014 software into the same drive (not C:) as my sqlserver 2008 is.
If previous version was on E drive upgraded version should remain on E drive as well. AFAIK there does not comes an option to specify different drive letter when doing in place upgrade how ever if you do side by side upgrade you can install new instance
of 2014 on what ever drive you like
In side by side upgrade you have to first install SQL Server 2014 and then move databases using backup and restore then migrate logins and jobs using scripting method.
After you are sure your upgrade process is complete you can uninstall 2008 instance.
How do you check your SQL Server 2014 is installed on C drive. Please note even if you install SQL server on some other drive(like D,E..) some binaries always go on C drive thet nature is by default , if you are looking at binaries then its wrong to
deduce that your SQL Server is on C drive.
Can you go to E drive can you see program files..Microsoft SQL Server ?
Please also read file location of Installed SQL server Instance

Can't print anything other than a test page from the embedded web server

Hi all
I have two computers hooked up wirelessly to my HP C410b All in one printer. One computer works fine and prints everything. The other one did until this weekend.
The one printer that will not print will print a test page if I go to the embedded web server and print a test page but if I try to print anything else - even a test page not through the embedded web server - it fails to print. It does not give an error message it just states print failed.
The computer shows alerts for the printer like when it runs out of paper or ink so it seems like it's connected but it just won't print.
I've tried unistalling all the software and printer and reinstalling but it still has the same problem.
Anyone any ideas???
Thanks

How to get music into iPod library other than with iTunes?

I am using an iPhone video editing app and want to add music to the clips. The option presented is to "add music from iPod library. I am presently traveling abroad and do not have my MacBook to sync music into my iPhone. There is tons of free music available online but the question is how to get any of it into my iPod library. I've tried a third party "download" app but it stores music inside the app, not in the iPod library. Are the only ways to put music in my iPod library either 1) sync from my MacBook or 2) buy from iTunes store? or are there other options?
Thanks much.

The Jazz website you showed had Real audio files, and these won't be able to be played in the iPod app anyway.
But there are options for websites with mp3s.
There are apps that can play mp3s and make playlists, and some that can download music from legit websites and then play it.
Do a search for "mp3 play download" in the itunes store.
I have never needed one, but there are a few there that seem to offer what you are asking.
Theuy won't add the music to the ipod app, but they play themselves so that might be what you are looking for.

Use printer other than default? how to hard code it?

Is it possible to make application to use specific printer but other than default? may be hard code it into application code?
For example I know the name of print service(the PATH to configured printer) and I want my application to use THAT printer most of the time. how can make it so that my application uses one printer which is other than default..
printDialog is not a good solutionin in my case I think because user might have 15 printers configured on his machine! and I do not want him to scroll PrintServices combobox looking for needed printer... why not show only 2 or printers out of 15?
or in my case I think it is even better to hard code couple of configured printers in an application code so that I user does not get tired of working with printDialog window every time he needs to print. When my application is released to client it will be used especially for printing porposes of one particular document so he does not need to see margins and printer settings everytime.

Basically the print dialog should offer this function without you having to code it. I don't know on Windows but on my Mac you can select printers other than default and get the computer to remember them.

Export of results into other than LMS

Hi there,
As a Captivate newbie, I'm having difficulty in getting
results experted seamlessly into a system other than a LMS.
I've seen some articles on using Cold Fusion and Excel
spreadsheets to export the data, but there is too much interaction.
What I'd like to do (if it is indeed possible) is to export
quiz results to a comma delimited file seamlessly on a remote
network drive, where the Company ERP system can then pick them up
and import using a perl script (or similar). The last part is
relatively easy, but the export from Captivate2 is what is
perplexing me.
Does anyone have any ideas that they could lend me on how the
setup of this could happen?
Thanks for being patient with this newbie.....
Gunnadothat.

Hello Gunnadothat.
There are a couple posts near to yours that give possible
solutions, such as access databases to sql databases. In your case
you specify a results.txt. If you choose either, getting commo
delimited files is easy.
Look at them and try it. All you would have to do, is instead
of pointing the results to a database, you specify the commo
delimited file.
Here is code and an example to do that.

Sorry, but you can't get away from the interaction. :)

New computer system, printed colours are wrong, please advise.

I recently bought a new computer system inc Dell U2711 monitor and purchased LR4 and CS6. All was well, or so I thought, until I got some prints done. The prints from my old system (with which I only used elements 10) look fine. Those from my new system look awful, the colours are just wrong. My workflow is RAW image opened in LR then finished off in CS6 before saving as JPEG. The saved images look alright but when I either click view/ proof colors or if I use an image as a desktop screensaver, it gives the same washed out appearance with wrong colours. I'm at the limit of my technical knowledge here, does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks for that link, I will read that. I've been going through the settings on LR and CS and I think I begin to understand. I've been looking in LR preferences and that gives three options for color space: There is Prophoto RGB (the default which LR recommends as it says the other two don't give the full colour range available in LR) then there is sRGB and lastly Adobe RGB (1998). There is no such option that I can find in CS6 preferences but, when I export a TIFF file from LR4 into CS6 and then save it from CS6 it shows the color as ICC profile Adobe RGB (1998). I also notice that in this setting using the view/ proof in CS6 the colours are slightly askew (they were way off when I had the LR preference set to ProphotoRGB). If however I set the LR preference to sRGB and then export to CS6, using the view/proof the colours stay the same so I'm still a bit confused. Maybe I'm just thick, it's a lot to take in.
I've processed a RAW image in the recommended ProphotoRGB, exported it to CS6 then before saving gone into edit/ convert to profile/ sRGB: the colours have stayed the same and using the view/ proof or save as desktop background = no change and everything looks good. So, is this the way forward and should that format work when printed? (I've only got a crappy basic two ink printer which I wouldn't trust to print anything other than text). Also, is it possible to get CS6 to save as sRGB by default or do I have to go through this routine for every image I want to save and print?

How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder? I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder?

No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.

Print preview of the PO -languages other than English is not appearing.

Hi Experts
In the Print preview of the Purchase Order -languages other than English is not appearing.
When I create a PO for a chinese vendor , in the print i can see only the ##### characters.
Pl let me know how to solve this issue.
Note :
Vendor language is maintained as Chinese in vendor master & same is getting copied in the PO heaader communication tab.
With outtype LP01 it works for the print preview , however when sent as a PDF it wil be with #### charaters.
But when i select LOCL it gives #### charaters for both print & PDF.
Thanks
Dkmurthy

are the replacements if the character cannot be printed on the chosen device.
