The ink is too heavy and too wet on the photos.

The printer is an HP PHotosmart C8180.  I am using HP advanced photo paper and HP ink.  I have cleaned the printhead twice and all ink levels are good.  Photos printed two days ago were good.  I have the settings on 4x6 boarderless, the paper type HP advanced photo paper.  Would really appreciate some help.  Thanks

  • HP Photosmart 6520 - new ink prints too blue and displays half full

    I purchased the 4 pack of 364 HP ink - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and black and installed them today. After putting the cartriges in, the yellow and magenta show as 1/3 full instead of being completely full. Printing photos results in them being too blue also. This is not acceptable....What is going on?

    Hi there,
    Please try as many steps as you can from this document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03318187
    If it doesn't help, then I believe there's a hardware issue with your printer.  You can contact HP support in North America at 1-800-474-6836 or find the local telephone number for your country here: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

  • I need help!  I installed icloud on my computer, uploaded photos, my computer crashed and now my ipad runs slow b/c there are too many photos.  Is there a way to delete photos from my ipad (right now, I can click on the photos but not delete)?

    What options do I have?  Will purchasing more storage help?  Can I change control from my PC to my ipad if I can't use my computer anymore?

    You can import your photos and videos in the Camera Roll on your iPad to your work computer using you usb cable, then delete them from your iPad by following the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you also have photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll that you want to save, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.  To do this, open your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  After importing them you can delete them from your iPad if you want by tapping Edit again, tapping the photos, then tapping Delete.
    Once they are on your work computer, you can transfer them to a USB memory stick if you cannot leave them there.
    Any photos on your iPad that were synced from your computer can be salvaged by using an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your work computer over wifi.  (They can't be saved to the camera roll and imported with your usb cable like photos in the camera roll.)  Deleting these photos from your iPad will require using iTunes.  Once you have your own computer again and can install iTunes, you can delete these remaining photos by creating an empty folder on your computer, then selecting this folder to sync to your iPad on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • HT201077 The photos I have transferred to my PC via Photo Stream are too large for me to share with friends.  How do I reduce the size and how do I share them with friends and family only?

    I have the latest iPad update on my Ipad 3 as of September 23, 2012. 
    I havejust  taken a series of photographs with my iPad that I would like to share with family and specific friends ONLY.  I have set up the photos I want to share in Photo Stream.  I have synced them to my PC via iCloud.  Everything is fine except, the pictures are far too large to share ... and I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do in order to give my family access to these Photo Stream pictures.
    How do I reduce the size of photo stream pictures once they are on my PC via iCloud?
    What exactly do I do to give access to the photos on Photo Stream to specific people?
    How can I share the videos I have taken with my iPad?
    Many thanks for your attention.  I look forward to your reply.

    Select your photo/s.
    File menu > Export..
    Kind: JPEG
    JPEG Quality: Maximum
    Include: [√] Title and keywords
                [√] Location information
    Size: Full Size
    File Name: Use filename
    Select one of the photos and open in with Preview.
    Tools menu > Show Inspector
    Under the second button choose IPTC and it is all there.
    Sorry for all the confusion.

  • I updated to io7 and the photos from the welcome screen and the wallpaper are like too much zoomed thank you

    I updated to io7 and the photos from the welcome screen and the wallpaper are like too much zoomed thank you

    View your landscape photo with your phone in the upright position.
    Tap on the photo once so the background goes black
    Take a screenshot now by pressing the round button and the top button together.
    Go back into your photos and find this new screenshot - then apply this as your wallpaper. You should be able to resize it :)

  • I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality.  I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big.  ??????

    I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file.  After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality.  What am I doing wrong.  As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send.  HELP! Please.

    If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
    You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
    If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

  • In a shared photo stream,the photo is pixelated and keeps saying that its loading but its been taking too long

    When my friend posted me some photos;some of them loaded and some have stayed pixelated with a loading notification turning up an i wait for ages but nothin happens,can someone please tell me how to make them load faster or something

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    You will have to rejoin all wifi networks
    - If still problem I suspect either an Apple problem or they got corrupted. has other recipients gotten the photos OK?

  • I tried to change the photo on the first page and all the photos seam too big. Why

    Hi
    I upgraded my iPone 4 to ios 7. on the front page, the clock and date appeared on the photo I have there. I edited the photo so it will be less aide and less high and tried to put it on the front page (the page before the home page). the photo was suddenly huge and did'nt match the size of the screen. Why?
    How can I put the old photo so it will match the size of the screen?
    Will appreciate a detailed answer. (i am not an expert in computers...).
    Tanks!

    That's because you need to sign out of it on iTunes, and Facebook isn't integrated with your Apple ID so you will need to add your new email manually to your Facebook account.

  • IPhoto library disappeared--and maybe the photos too?

    My iPhoto application cannot find the library and so I went in search of it, and I couldn't locate it either. The really odd thing is that I cannot find it in my Time Machine backup. I used iPhoto about a week ago with no problems, but when I go to that date in Time Machine, it can't locate the library. I do have some old versions of the library that I was saving "just in case" (dated Jan. 12, 2008--probably around the time we upgraded to Leopard)
    All of my old photos are in folders labelled by year (up to Dec. 30, 2007). But no photos can be located since then that would have been imported into iPhoto. So it looks like I've lost the last year and a half of photos? I also can't find them in Time Machine unless they're in some hidden place.
    I'm a little afraid to rebuild my library because I don't know what happened to the photos from 2008-2009. I'm optimistic that someone out there can help me. Thank you!

    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
    Regards
    TD

  • My ink depletes too quickly

    My ink seems to run out too quickly.  I talked to a person from HP and I was informed that you should get at least 200  pages with 15 % coverage per cartridge.  I'm not getting any where near that many pages.  Is there a setting I can change on my HP Photosmart Printer to lengthen the life of my ink cartridge?  I know I am paying less for my cartridge and thought maybe that might be a possibility.  Has anyone else experienced this situation?  Thanks in advance'
    Strawbeary.

    What printer model? What operating system? Are you replacing the cartrdiges when they actually run out of ink or when the first low ink warning happens?
    Printing in draft mode will use about half the ink of normal or best modes.  Printing on photo paper uses much more ink than printing on plain paper for the same print.
    Depending on your printer model the low on ink indicator is probably giving you an advance warning so you can have a spare cartridge on hand for when it is needed.  On most printers you will not need to change the cartrdige until it actaully runs out as exidenced in changes in print quality.

  • When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

    When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
    1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
    2.  when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

    1 - no  --  iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
    2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

  • I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive.  The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power.  Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

    I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive.  The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power.  Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

    You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
    I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
    I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
    Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
    For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

    If you place in Muse - an image with either height or width larger than 2048 pixels - Muse scales the image down proportionately, limiting the larger dimension to 2048.
    However, if you want to use the placed image at its original size, you can scale the image up to desired size either by dragging the resizing handles or by entering Height and Width values in the Control Strip on top. After that, go to the Assets panel and locate the image in there, then right click that image in Assets panel and choose "Import Larger Size". That would bring back the lost image information from the original image.
    Hope this gives you clarity on what you wanted to know.

  • HT4101 my camera says check connected device. USB device uses too much power. I have got the photos on before with persistence but this is not working

    help

    Is the USB drive you are trying to connect a USB thumb drive or a USB hard drive?
    I have 4 USB thumb drives - an old one at 250MB, newer ones at 1GB and 4GB, and a new one at 8GB. All work in the camera connection kit except the 250MB (requires too much power). Suggest you get a new USB drive.
    Use your camera's SD card.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
