Thin Verticle Lines when Printing from Photoshop

Everytime I try to print from Photoshop CS5 my HPdeskjet 990cse only prints thin verticle lines. The Image Prints fine from any other program such as Microsoft Word, it just seems to have an issie printing from Photoshop

Hi kel2roll,
No, I never did figure it out. I now save the photoshop files, then open them in preview and print from there. I did everything everyone suggested, except de-install and re-install the printer, which I didn't know how to do, but I got the same result you did, only in b & w.
Let me know if something pans out,

  • 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!

    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.

    Which MBA, which printer? Printer incl driver properly installed? Printed test page (yes, THE test page, not something else) and it looks okay?

  • How do I select paper type when printing from Photoshop?

    Sorry to be a total technotard, but in the olden days, I could select paper type (e.g. glossy photo) from the print menu when printing from Photoshop.  Now there is no way to select paper type, at least not that I can find.  Is this an Adobe thing?  Cuz I can't figure out how to do it from InDesign either.  I'd like to be able contol image quality as well.  Thanks in advance for any help... I'm wading around in all these forums trying to find a simple answer and am having no luck...

    "hp website says the driver is built-in to the new macs, and I don't need to d/l a new one"
    First of all, this is a crock.  And a very tiresome one, as it's been used as an excuse not to post drivers for download.
    The driver is not "built into" a Mac.  There may be some version of it installed IF you happened to install hundreds upon hundreds of gigabytes of printer drivers (the vast majority of which are obsolete and brands you've never nor will ever own) when you installed the OS.  This view is just so idiotic, as you won't have installed every HP driver ever made if you didn't own an HP printer or plan to hook it up to that computer.
    Apple compounds the problem by not giving you any way to pick and install a printer driver.  Seriously, in 2009.  And this in addition to the Mac's inability to detect a new printer after you plug it in, and ask if you want to install a driver.  People tolerate that while making fun of Windows, which has been detecting new hardware and prompting for drivers since what, 1995?
    Anyway, I believe it was HP who complained that they "didn't have room on their servers" to offer drivers for download.  Unfrigginbelievable.
    Nobody who pays any attention to their printing should even consider an HP printer.  That's how incompetent their drivers are, for both platforms.
    Sad.

  • When printing from Photoshop on Photosmart C 410 A, size is reduced. Other programs print true.

    When I try to print from Photoshop, the size of picture is greatly reduced. I tried printing a picture inserted on word and also using the HP Photo Creations program and they did print true to size. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Eileesrn,
    We have a few options that we can try. The first I would like for you to try is:
    Under "Printers", rename the Photosmart C410 Fax driver to PS C410 Fax
    Please let me know if that helps.

  • 2540 printing problem, missing lines when printing from iPad

    Bought a new 2540 to use with iPad, printing direct from wireless direct to printer and missing lines, tried copying and everything is working/printing ok. It just appears to be when printing from iPad. I have tried powering down printer and rebooting but still the same.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hey ,  Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I see that you're having what sounds like AirPrint quality issues with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist.  Your 2540 is AirPrint compatible, but not all app content and file formats are AirPrint friendly. I recommend installing the HP ePrint app. (I'm assuming you don't have WiFi if you're a wireless direct user. If that's the case try and visit a public space with WiFi and install the app there. Once installed you can use it within a wireless direct setup).  Let me know if this helps. Thanks for reaching out and have a great day!  

  • How can I remove vertical lines when printing from Aperture 3.2.2 to Epson Stylus Photo RX690?

    I have been generally quite happy with my access to and use of Aperture 3.2.2 (recently purchased) for import and manipulation of photos and movies, etc.I am using Aperture on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8.
    However I have been unable to print high quality images on Epson premium glossy, glossy or matt paper on my Epson Stylus Photo RX690.
    High quality prints on screen show perfectly in preview, but all prints come out with good and accurate colours, but a series of vertical lines or bands of lines across the photo print.
    Using the Aperture Manual I have checked my settings in Aperture for the printer, for colour and quality of paper etc and they all seem to be correct.
    The Epson Printer is networked with a Toshiba (Vista) laptop which prints perfect results from Picasa and Photoshop with fine colour and no markings.
    I would appreciate any help please.
    Cam Opie

    Thank you Mark
    I thought I had done all the settings .....but no.
    I now have perfect prints. Easy when you know how!!!
    Cheers

  • No 'Disk Tray' option when printing from Photoshop -Pixma MG6220

    I am trying to print to the Disk Tray.   I put the tray in but the printer does not recognize it.  I try to select the tray as an option in my print settings but there is no tray option there to select (Photoshop, MS Word, PDF, etc).   When I look to the manual for how to print to the tray, it only gives instructions on how to print using Canon's consumer-grade printing app. Please help. 
    I am on a Mac Pro running Yosemite.  The printer is plugged in via USB.

  • Strange difference in prints from Photoshop and InDesign

    Hello,
    Recently I upgraded to CS5 but at the same time upgraded my good old Power Mac G5 to a 27" iMac i7.
    I also traded my Epson 7600 for an Epson 9800. So obviously many things changed at the same time.
    Now I created a new profile for my printer paper and noticed the folowing strange thing:
    When printing from photoshop the prints are consistently way too dark.
    When printing from InDesign the same photo it is perfectly as it should be and looks on screen.
    Then I checked printing from Preview and again way too dark, same as in Photoshop
    I applied the same printerprofile to all printjobs
    During the profiling I also printed the testpage from the Datacolor Spyder 3 software, which was perfect
    printing the same testpage from Photoshop: way too dark.
    I don't have a clue to where things are going wrong.
    Is it a bug in Photoshop,but why then also in Preview?
    is it the way the printerdriver handles things? But then why not in InDesign?
    Anyone any ideas?
    Regards,
    Hans

    Have you gone into the "Print Settings" dialog and turned off color matching in the Epson portion of the settings?
    Are you running the most recent version of the driver? There is a combination updater to version 7.0 available as the first result at:

  • Lines in images when printing from anything but iphoto

    When I print on my computer from anything but iphoto the quality is horrible and the print has very noticeable lines in it across everything. I recently did a layout in Adobe Illustrator and when I went to print it on regular 4x6 satin photo paper there are lines everywhere. This also happens when printing from powerpoint, photoshop, word, and whatever else that is not iphoto. I cant send out things that are printed at such horrible quality. Everything comes out fine when i print text in black but photos look pixelated and have lines in them no matter what paper I use if printed from anything but iphoto.
    HELP DR.

    Check the printer manual about calibrating. There is a solution in most drivers for inkjet printers which may call like paper forwarding or so. It seems, that your printer forwords the paper a bit to much before the line is printed.

  • Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

    I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them.  Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo.  I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
    As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there.  I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
    I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
    I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
    We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
    If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
    I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze.  It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
    I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero.  They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
    Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie?  I'm so frustrated.
    Thanks - Jma

    Hello Kirby,
    Your recap is correct.  I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date.  I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
    When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500.   Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500.  I've tried them all.  They all have lines through them.  There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver".  I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
    Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual.  Still, lines through both.
    This is really discouraging.  Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer.  And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
    Fingers crossed that this can be resolved.  I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts.  And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

  • When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

    When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

    Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
    Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

  • Banding occurs when printing from Illustratror/InDesign on HP Designjet Z5200 PostScript Printer

    Recently we got the below printer for large-format prints such as posters, banners and the like.
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/18972-18972-3328061-12600-3328080-4122732.ht ml
    However so far when printing directly from InDesign and Illustrator there have been problems with "banding" (alternating stripes of darker and brighter colors on the paper when printing).
    It seems that this could have something to do with either the type of paper and/or the OS (we use both XP and Win7) on which CS5 runs but I am still unsure if these are the real causes.
    After having talked to a certified HP-technician (not only a support employee!) the technician pointed towards the CS5 package as the culprit.
    At the very moment we are using a workaround that the before mentioned technician advised us to use which is basically the following.
    Illustrator --> Saving the Ilustrator file, then opening it in Photoshop and saving as a tiff raster image in the relevant resolution, then importing the tiff raster image into HP's HP own "Instant Printing Pro" printing application.
    InDesign --> Saving the InDesign file as a pdf, then opening the pdf in Photoshop and saving as a tiff raster image in  the relevant resolution, then importing the tiff raster image into HP's  HP own "Instant Printing Pro" printing application.
    These two solutions both work without banding on the final print.
    However, sometimes - as mentioned before - it seems that the paper might absorb the ink better if it's of a better/thicker quality when banding doesn't seem to occur (at the moment we mostly use plain paper settings in the local printer settings display when loading a roll of paper which also is a cheaper type of paper) and while banding seems to occur mostly when printing from XP machines it doesn't always seem to occur when doing so from Win7 machines.
    What's the score on the above?
    Any help and input is welcome and appreciated!

    Well, I have no official
    connection to Adobe, but any manufacturer who sells a product targeted
    at the graphic arts industry, and then says that the reason it doesn't
    work is because there's a problem with the software produced by the
    graphics industry leader needs a reality check. Printer manuafacturers
    have had access to Adobe for years, so there's really no excuse for an
    incompatibility problem.
    Your company is a vendor? Get
    escalated. HP should be all over getting this to work correctly,
    including providing a RIP for you if that's what it's going to take to
    implement proper printing. How do the expect you to demonstrate or
    recommend this printer if it stripes the background?
    Peter -->
    You are right about basically anything that you said and I agree that this should be HP's headache. But it's not so simple at the moment.
    First of all I'd hate to stand back like a dummy if it would turn out to be a minor driver setting issue or another insignificant problem that creates the banding. On the other hand it would of course also be the local HP-support failing since they didn't manage to tell us about it in the first place and that's really their job and responsibility but under any circumstance, I'd like to give the ideas and suggestions from the other participants further up this thread a chance and see if the pdf-printing or other ideas work. In other words..., if I'd complain to HP it had to be bulletproof.
    Secondly we are supposed to sell these and similar products to our clients and if I should start a dicussion I'd have to argue not only with HP who would most likely claim that the workaround they told us works (in a way) and that this was a result - at least to them - as well. I might also have to start discussing with the CEO of our company, the purchasing department and the marketing director (the latter actually said some time ago when we had the first problems that if the printer didn't work according to the HP-consultant's promises they could have it back, so there is at least some hope there). At the moment I am too busy at work and too low paid to be getting into this. And I seriously doubt that HP would give us a RIP to be testing this off even though we'd argue that the clients won't be able to work this out if we don't do. They'd probably just say that it's mainly for plotting charts and architects or stuff or find a whole range of other excuses. It's not certain and there could be positive surprises but I'd say that that's not likely.
    There is one other thing Peter that I am still wondering about...
    If you take a look again at the fourth and last picture-link I posted you can see the exact same print as in link no. 3 but whereas the third link shows banding the last - the fourth image link - shows no banding at all. Now I am not a 100% sure anymore if these were both printed directly from Illustrator but to my best knowledge they were since I printed all of these banners the same day and I don't recall saving to tiff or using other programs. I might be wrong but if that's the case then the thick HP-paper doesn't band whereas the thin does. That's the reason why I stated previously that the banding might occur with thinner paper (or wrong paper load settings) and doesn't occur with thicker paper at all. As mentioned I don't recall this action a 100% but am pretty sure. Also therefore I would like to run another test when I get more time and won't be so busy at work as I am right now.
    Do you think there could be a difference there...?

    I'm guessing they have the same crappy Colorburst software that shipped with the HP we got and it's never going to get good with InDesign or Illustrator transparency. We have the thermal printer that is 6x more expensive and the software is still bad. At version 9.3 it still fails on InDesign transparency.
    We just make tiffs or normalized PDFs for files containing InDesign transparency. Illustrator transparency generally works better than InDesign, but isn't infallible. Anything that uses the gradient feather tool in InDesign I don't even bother with a test print to see if it gets it because I know it will fail 100% of the time.
    If they are a vendor they are in a Catch 22 if they do it right and go for a solution that normalizes the files properly before sending to the garbage software that ships with it. When you are talking about an entry level thermal inkjet the software package isn't going to be robust. Something like a GMG or other solution to handle all the show devices files works, but at best you are disingenuous about how files are being handled with your clients and face pushback when they can't run all the cool tricks to them when they get it out in the field.
    Happens with Colorburst, happens with Colorgate, happens to a lesser degree even with the lower end Creo RIP. Fiery seems to get it good somehow, but doesn't power a ton of inkjets.
    HP support is phonetag hell anyway for inkjets. They buy out tons of companies that produce anything printing like ColorSpan and provide bare minimum support on the products they slap an HP tag on. They want to sell inks and papers. They don't make the software and license it in bulk like the crap they load on their computers. They also usually ship with old software that needs at least a couple point releases before it is current, but even the current software on their thermal printers sucks at InDesign transparency. HP may need a reality check on their software, but I doubt they get it. They've got a sufficient stranglehold and supporting what is essentially a bottom of the barrel portion of their printing business is in the high maintenance low yield square for them.
    macinbytes -->
    Wow, now THAT is scary reading...!
    If what you wrote is true then things really start looking bleak. But I can recognize some of the problems that you are mentioning although I am not into all of the details that you are writing about in your thread. But it sure looks like they just mass produce and try to keep support to a bare minimum whereas they are scoring big bucks on the media, inks and other accessories and then hope that complaints will die and people will just give up in the end.
    It does make sense also seen in light of the fact that our local HP-consultant who "introduced" us to the printer praised it to the sky with a lot of "sales mambo jambo", trying it out in HP's own "E-share & Print" (which I was told by the HP-technician was the wrong HP-print program, instead he made me download and install the "Instant Printing Pro") whereas he NEVER even tried it off in any of the Adobe programs or asked some of our employees to do so.
    If you are getting more info in regards to the development in these cases or solutions software-like speaking I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks for your time and for posting.

  • Prints from Photoshop too dark.

    I have recently purchased an old Epson Stylus Pro 7800 and have experienced my prints coming out way too dark. I contacted Epson support and through troubleshooting found that if I print with Apple Preview, the image comes out just fine- in terms of darkness- but Photoshop prints too dark. The Epson tech said this was a known problem and to contact Adobe. So, I got on-line to se what I could find and get some help.
    Mac OS X 10.9.4
    Photoshop CC v14.0 x64
    Epson Stylus Pro 7800
    Again, please note, that printing from my computer via the Preview App produces correct color and darkness. The issue only happens when trying to print from Photoshop CC
    All help appreciated

    Often cause by running with your display too bright.  Image are darker then they look on screen.  Make sure you display is displaying good color and the brightness is set correctly.  Hardware calibration is best but IMO is not an absolute requirement.
    It is also important not to have the image color managed by Photoshop and you print driver.  You should see warning about that in Photoshop Print Dialog.  You need to set both Photoshop Print setting and your printer drivers settings to the correct seitting and paper color profiles. I use a Epson 4800 and have Photoshop manager the colors and turn off color management in the 4800 print driver. Paper size and profile set in both.  I do run with mu display  too bright many do no one complains that the images I post online are too dark.  To print good color all I do is add an brightness and saturation adjustment layer on top and boost the brightness 18 to 20%.. View screen capture in new tab or window so you can scale to actual size. You can see my remote printer is running out of yellow....
