Transparency Printing different shades, WIN only

I'm experiencing issues printing some PDFs to a laser printer on my PC. I am using Acrobat 8, and overall the document looks good. However, some sections print out with defined light areas and dark areas not shown in the PDF (in any of the modes). My big observation is that when I go to Flattener Preview and highlight transparent areas the areas that are not highlighted are the areas that experience the lightening and darkening. I do not experience these problems on Macs through Acrobat or Preview, only on Windows. If i'm experiencing these things I'm sure our customers are too. Any suggestions?

More to the point on this, I think, is that both RGB and CMYK values listed for any spot color are "best approximations" (many, perhaps most, spot colors have no good CMYK equivalent, and that would be true as well for some subset using RGB) using Pantone's unknown color space. Even in that space the probability of getting an actual match between the simulation and the true spot ink is close to zero. Using some other space makes things worse, and since there is no way to know the sapce in use at Pantone, you're kind of up the creek.
For CMYK converison you can do reasonably well by using the Ink manager to convert the spot to process and check the bok to Use Lab Values at the same time. For RGB, I have no idea how to come close, at all.

Color prints different -- shade of color is darker

Hello.
Hopefully someone can help me.. I'm designing my daughter's baptism invitation on PSE, it look great on the PC screen, however when I print the colors look darker. Is there a setting I should be using so that the color is true to the screen color? What am I doing wrong???
TIA
Valerie

Unfortunately there is no simple answer to this question. I would suggest you read these notes on my web site. I've tried to keep them basic and they do relate to Elements, albeit and earlier version.

I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open? Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

Can I have smart print eprint on two different computes with only account

Can I have smart print eprint on two different computers with only one account???

Are you talking about accessing an ePrint account from various computers? Or having HP Smart Print on multiple computers?
ePrint account information is kept at the site. You can log on it from anywhere, from any computer. Just go to the sire and click on Sign in and enter your password and email address. You can have multiple printers on one user account at ePrint Center (EPC). But printers can only be registered on ePrint Center to one user account. If you have an ePrint cable printer you can create an account at this link here.
HP Smart Print does not require an account you can download to an Internet Explorere browser (versions 6-9) and use it with no registration.

Why do placed images in illustrator print a different shade of black than the black in the document?

It has happened to me more than a few times. For example, I'll place artwork that was created in photoshop into an illustrator document, and the blacks are inconsistent. Any advice?

Your blacks may have different CMYK values. The default value for foreground swatch in photoshop is 75c 68m 67 y 90k and many people don't realize that is not 100%k. A common Rich black value is 60c 40my 100k, which makes the black darker, and still neutral by having cyan above my.
If you specify 100 k in photoshop & 100k in illustrator, and the colors print different, you may have a color destination profile assigned to your placed CMYK image.

HP Laserjet CP1025nw Color Printer - printer prints two copies when only one is requested.

pcwizard (HP) requested that I try Foxit Reader 5.1 to see if the printer will print properly. I used the same previous document and printed it with Foxit Reader 5.1. The printer printed two copies when only one was requested as it had done in the past. We still have a problem.
I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) for OS. I have experience the issue on two different computers.

Hi dslledyrt,
Can you install the Basic Driver for the printer on one of the computers, and let me know if you still have this issue?

Mac with Lion OX, in print preview with PDF, only page 1 comes correctly, the rest misses some portion rest not

I have iMac desktop with Lion OS. I am using Firefox 6 web browser. Previously with Snowleopard OS I did not have any problems with printing, With Lion OS print commands have changed and when I click preview in PDF format for printing a web page, only page 1 of the document shows correctly. In second page, the text does not show all of the document and few lines at the boundary is missing and the font is different from page 1. I tried using Google Chrome browser and this does not have this problem. If I do not find a solution I may be forced to move to Google Chrome. I will really appreciate a response. Thanks.

Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.

Print Different Size Photo, one per page

I am using PS5 in 64 bit mode. I print on a Epson 3880 printer. I shoot all photos in RAW. I process all my RAW files in ACR accomplishing 80% of changes and the balance 20% in PS. The output of my retouch is a Master Image (MI) File that I would like to print at different sizes. I am starting to sell my images at Art Shops and Hops. My customers would like to have different size images of my MI's How do I print from the MI, different sizes images with a 150 - 300 ppi and maintain the integrity of the MI?
I have tried the Image Tool but it will not let me print the image sizes that my customers want. The Image Tool only allows me to change one dimension either (H) or (W) but not both. Help.

If you want to print standard size images like 16x20, 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 etc these have different aspect ratios you will need to crop you image to the correct aspect ratio for the print you want or you could print different print sizes that have the same aspect ratio. Like you camera most likely has a 3:2 aspect ratio if you use a DSLR. You could print all 3:2 aspect ratios image on you 3800. 3x2, 6x4, 9x6,12x8 15x10, 18x12, 21x14, 24x16... all that needs to be changed is the print DPI setting without resampling. You have a 3800 that can print up to 17" wide. You can print any size you want. Some image cry out to be cropped. They look best cropped for image composition is often best as some non standard aspect ratio.

Please identify your notebook/pc /printer.
Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc/printer at the barcoded sticker.
Post item number 2 as seen on the following example of an HP notebook's barcoded sticker. The barcode on your HP product may be slightly different in appearance, but will still have the important information needed for us to help you.
###Do not post the serial number of your product as it is personal information.###
If your printer is a laser printer then simply go to print preferences and select grayscale printing

Printing sender's address only on small envelope

I'm trying to help my Mom send many Thank You cards out. I've succeeded in printing the message on the cards however I'm having problems printing address on the small envelope. The people whom she's trying to send the cards out are not people who we need to keep in our address book. So we are trying to speed up the process by printing her/senders address only on the envelope and hand writing the send-to addresses instead of entering some 200 entires into my address book.
I didn't know about the Address app's print function so first I tried it with TextEdit. I've done some acrobatics moves to make it print my/sender's address somewhat close but I couldn't make it to print it any closer than 1" margin from the top left corner edges. Now I'm trying from the Mac's Address app but I ran into problem of not being able to print only the sender address; it seems I can only choose both addresses or none at all. I'm thinking probably there is a way but since I'm trying to do this for the first time I can't figure out. Anyone know how?

Hi George,
From your description, here is my understanding about your issue:
You create a rule on user1's mailbox: If messages come from external, forward them to user2's mailbox. In user1's mailbox, message from external doesn't show the sender's email address. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
Based on my knowledge, if a message from external, it should show the sender's email address. Also, I have a test in my environment using Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2013, it works. In your case, I recommend you check if OWA has the same issue. Also, please
send a message from external without forward and check if this external sender's email address will be displayed.
What's more, I would like to clarify the following thing:
User1([email protected]) create a rule that forwards messages from userA(external user,
[email protected]) to user2([email protected]). If userA sends a message to user1, in user1's Inbox, this message from "userA <[email protected]>"; in user2'a Inbox,
this message from "user1" not "userA <[email protected]>".
Besides, forward and redirect are two different things.
Hope my clarification is helpful.

Epson Stylus CX9400 - Cannot print in black ink only

I cannot print in black ink only on my CX9400 printer. My OS is Windows 7. I've never had this problem before, and it only happens with pdf documents. Please adivse me how to correct this problem. Thank you.

Dear user BVILLE22,
In 10.1.2, we have intentionally removed the option 'Print color as Black' from the print dialog due to its incorrect behaviour of converting all text to black. The correct one is to print it as Grayscale and for doing so, you can follow the two below mentioned methods:
Method 1:
1. Select your printer and click on its properties button.
2. Search for option 'Print in Grayscale', which is provided at different location for different printers. One I am attaching for reference is under 'Color' tab of printer properties
3. Click ok and then print.
Method 2:
1. Select your printer.
2. click on Advance button.
3.Select Color management section -> 'Working Gray' as color profile.
4. click ok and then print.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Regards

I used to be able to print a mosaic cover from the print tab but after downloading the most recent (10.2.2) version I cannot. Though it seems to be showing the mosaic cover in print set-up it prints a play list only. Can someone respond with help

I used to be able to print a mosaic CD cover from the print tab after purchasing music but after downloading the most recent (10.2.2) version I cannot. Though it seems to be showing the mosaic cover in the print set-up it prints a play list only. Can someone respond with help in fixing this? I've tried several times with different down-loaded music but no success.

The recent releases of iTunes have brought a bunch of bugs into the printing of CD covers.
Some people report that directing the iTunes print output to PDF, and then printing to paper from the PDF, solved their problem. Others have reported that it did not help. Worth a try.
