White areas on screen, are pink after printing! why?

Can anybody help me?!
When taking a passport photo, with white background, I noticed that the background comes out pink when printer. Why is this?
We changed the height of the back light and miraculously this helped. But why? What was causing the whit area go pink?
At another ocassion, normal portraits taken with a white background. We selected the edges and deleted any color, to soften the edges. When we recieved the photos from the printer, the edges had light pink strips all around it. Is there an explanation to this?
I hope my description of the problem is clear enough.
If anyone has any knowledge to this problem. Please, help.

Here is an exampel of the problem I'm talking about. On this photo, you can't see the stripes, but once printed, all around the edges will apear light magenta lines.
Is calibrating the only reason why the white areas of a picture come out pink when printed onto paper?
Any technological answers as to why it does this? Why a light magenta shade instead of say....green? Or why does it give a color at all when on the screen it's white and as I've used the delet button to get rid of edges, shouldn't it be colourles?
This hasn't happened before but can it be that the printer somehow tryes to fill out the blancs by adding color to the deleted areas? I've used levels before to "add" white to the edges instead of "deleting" and I've not had this problem of light magenta stripes.
Any input?

Photos are cropped after printed

Hello - my question is concerning sending pictures to be printed at a photo place (Wallgreens, CVS, Target etc.). I want to print 4x6 pictures, and I realize now that the aspect ratios are different from what I took the pictures in.
Therefore what is the fix for this? What is happening is the photo place automatically crops the top (and bottom?) and is cutting off the tops of heads.
So should I crop all my photos first? If so, do I crop them to 4x6 or 4x3? I'm slightly confused.
Please help - I just ordered iPhoto 6, so if there is an easier way in that program, you can let me know too.
Thank you

Must crop all pictures, or choose to print with borders.

How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

Hi el_giclee,
Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

Satellite P300 with screen turning pink

Hi
My Satellite P300 is model PSPCCA-OC6O1Y. The problem I have is a lot of pink on the screen. This has been reoccuring over the last week with this morning the worst. Presently I have two distinct pink pencil lines running down the screen just right of middle, and I also have many other random pink pixles jumping all over the place.
Earlier today what would normally be white on the screen is pink and moving which made it almost impossible to see the screen and use the machine. A shut down and restart has bought it back to a useable position, although the problem has not gone away. On restart no sign of pink on the screen during the normal bootup - no sign of pink on the log in page and pink started as soon as either the browser or email apps were activated. It does go across all programs - I cannot isolate it to any one program, so I suspect it is not a program specific issue.
I am not a techie, just a user, so if the reply can be in simple to understand language that would be appreciated. The machine is under warranty, however I am trying to avoid downtime for repair which is critical if possible.
Thanks for your help

Hi Fletch,
Did you connect an external monitor to your notebook? With this external device you can identify the reason of this issue. That means if the external monitor works properly, it seems to be related to the internal display that must be changed.
As Jeka-IL wrote, contact nearest authorized service provider in your country. The guys will try to help you and if your notebook is under warranty, the repair is for free.

Colors from my screen to a customers printer are printing wrong

I run an online wedding invitation design business. I first create the digital files of the invitations in Adobe Illustrator CS5, then secondly I email the PDF file to my customers, and finally the customers are responsible for printing the invitations themselves. Some people print from a home computer, some have a local print shop print them (professional OR places like Staples and Office Max), and some upload the design to an online print service.
I use Adobe Illustrator CS5 and cmyk colors to create my file.
2 times this year I have run across a problem that I don't know how to fix. The customer says that when they print the PDF at home AND at a local print shop (Staples or otherwise), the colors are not right. Specifically, my Peach color was printing Brown for her, and my light Pink color was printing Tan for her.
The first file I sent her was a PDF that I created from Illustrator. I also imported the .ai file into my Photoshop Elements 5.0, and then saved it as a JPG and PSD. Those two printed the same results for her. She printed from home and from Staples. Both printed wrong.
Can someone tell me why this might be happening? I have made 250+ sales in the last 12 months, and this is only the second time it has happened.
help!!!!

jdanek - Of the hundreds of sales that I've made, I've only had this color issue happen twice. As I stated before, I'm not a professional with Illustrator, so I'm not sure how to answer some of your questions.
I use CMYK in Illustrator CS5 but I don't know anything about what my "color settings" are or what my "PDF color settings" are. I know it's gotta be something pretty simple to figure out. Can you help give me some direction in that? If it helps, here's a screen shot of when I start to save a PDF.
Besides the screen shot showing my PDF settings, you can alos see my self-made set of "user defined" color swatches that I use in all of my designs (in the bottom folder set of swatches). This allows consistency in my designs, since my customers are able view a color chart in my online shop to pick the colors for their invitations.
You asked about giving proofs to my customers. To answer, yes I do. After I create their design in Adobe Illustrator CS5, I save the file as a PDF (as shown in the screen shot I provided) and email it to them. I do the same thing once the design is approved; send them a PDF using the same settings in the screen shot shown.
Some customers print from their home printer, and some take the file to a local printshop of their choosing (kinkos, office max, staples, or other professional places, etc). I don't always know what printshop they take their files to. I've never had any special requests from the printshops. The file I send to the customer is the one that's used, no questions ever asked. I have no part or no knowledge of what those printshop printer's settings are. And I have no part or any knowledge of what type of paper they're printing on.
Sometimes customers upload thier design to online printers, like Vistaprint or Catprint. If that's the case, then I go online to the website and download an Illustrator template to do the designing in. Again, I use my own "user defined" color swatches and save the document with the same PDF settings in the screenshot.
Does any of this help?

Mac screen shots are pink

Recently screen shots I take are covered in pink. Not all of them, just when I use the shift-cmd-4 to capture a portion of the screen. It will print pink also.
There may be something else going on too. Sometimes when I view pictures on FaceBook, they flash pink and then correct themselves. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -g CGContextHighlight2xScaledImages
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out or restart the computer. Test.

All the white areas of my display are a rapidly flashing pink grid! What did I knock loose?

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15-inch. I installed a Seagate 1TB SSHD into the optical drive slot a few months ago. It stopped working so I removed for return. I closed the thing up, turned it on, and suddenly (almost) all white spaces on my screen are now pink! A flashing pink grid, to be precise. For example, white icons on my desktop have a few flashing pink artifacts, and most of the white areas on pages in my browser (Chrome) are almost entirely pink.
I've opened the laptop many times before to install ram, HDDs, etc and I've never had any issue. FWIW, a few months ago the logic board was replaced by Apple due to the infamous graphics switching error.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Could I have knocked something loose? Touched the wrong thing? Shocked the logic board?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have this exact problem - light gray is fine. Goes to pure white, and it raidly flashes a pink grid. Your post is the ONLY one I have seen just like it. And, I noticed no replies. What did you do to remedy? Or, did you find out it was a fatal problem? Any insight would be helpful before I go spend a lot on diagnostics...

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

All color print outs are pink color

My picture prints are all pink. I have scrubbed my printer heads (three times). I have replaced all my color cartridges with NEW full ink Hp cartridges. I have never used anything but Hp cartridges. Why do all my photos have a pink tinge. I even used only photo paper to print them out on, to see if it would make a difference. (NO!)
I'm frustrated because I did not have to replace the cartridges yet. I am waisting alot of expensive ink!!!!

Hi bonnieb2
I understand you are unable to print color and almost no black.
I have included a document which Bob provided, if you want to try soaking the printheads to see if this will resolve the issue.

White area that appears on screen while opening apps.

I had my original iPhone 4 replaced in December due to cracks in the screen, I am now on the 5th replacement and the last two have had this identical problem. Sometimes when opening an app, there is an area on the top left side of the screen that shows a triangular white shape. My last 2 have had this in the same area and look identical. Does anyone know what this is or if I should replace it again? I have replacement coverage, so my original cracked screen phone is replaced at no cost to me. I have received refurbished since obviously the 4's aren't in production any longer. Every replacement has had a defect. Now that I have had two in a row that are identical, I need to know if this is a serious problem or will cause problems in the future. If I'm going to bring this one back, I need to do it soon, so if anyone has seen or knows anything about this white area please answer any of the questions you can, thanks- V
if it matters, it's running iOS 7.0.4

I forgot to add, it doesn't always show up, isn't associated with a specific app, and usually goes away fairly quickly, it does block the upper left corner and I can't see anything behind it until it goes away

White areas printing as orange for multiple printers.

Hi all,
Did a search and didn't find an answer, so here is the issue - I have a G5 running 10.3.9, and both an Epson R300Inkjet and a HP 3600dn laserprinter. On both printers, any area defined by the application as containing no data (and would normally be left white) is printing a sort of orange-red. Areas defined within an image as white are fine. It's as if somewhere there is a data error telling both printers to render non-data space as this solid red. I thought it was the drivers on the Epson, but I just got the HP today and it immediately did the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Actually, no, that is not the case. Yes, permissions have been checked. Have 4 Macs. 1 Intel based, the other 3 PowerPC. ALL of them have this problem. It's not anything corrupted. On one of the machines, I just instaled the printer driver from Brother. So, fresh and new.
So, my question to the group is does anyone else have multiple printers and use printer presets. If so, if you use one other than "standard" and print, then, print again (our preset will then be the default, do not pick again), does it print the second time correctly, or, does it revert to standard settings?
No, the printer has no way to set the default tray. Which is stupid as the multi function tray, where you can put a limited number of sheets, is exactly where you WOULD put forms, and, the regular tray, which holds a LOT of paper, is of course where you would put regular paper. Funny thing is, the regular tray is TRAY 2! Which is not the default.

White screen of death after 3 mins of usage

Hiyah, so my iphone got the so called "White screen of death" after 3 minutes of usage, i've tried restore and all of that but without success.
What should i do?
Send it in for repair? (seems really ridicilous if have to since it was bought the same day)
or
Take it back to the store where i bought it and ask for a new one?
Thanks in advance, oh yeah.. i live in Sweden.

Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
If no change, continue:
2. Restore your phone from your most recent backup, Note, however: if the problem is related to corrupt data in your phone's backup, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
If no change, continue:
3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware problem. There are no more user troubleshooting steps available.

Photoshop CS6 Help Required - Whites are slightly cream

This is the first time I have posted a question on this forum. If I am in the wrong place please accept my apoligies. Thanks.
I have a problem which I have spent days and days trying to solve but without success, I sincerely hope someone can help me.
I am using Photoshop CS6 (Version 13.0.6 x64) on a 27”iMac running OS X Mavericks (Version 10.9.1). My printer is an Epson 3800 (Driver Version 9.17). I am using Epson inks on Epson paper and my screen is correctly calibrated.
I have had the printer for a number of years and its prints are normally excellent. However the following problem has recently occurred and I am not sure what has caused it; but when I print the whites are not pure and are slightly cream.
If I print letting ‘Photoshop Manages Colours’ (which I have always done) and using an original Epson profile for Semigloss paper I get this problem. To be precise when I print a test Grey Scale my 5% and 0% (white end of spectrum) are both the same cream colour and the 100% and 95% (black end of spectrum are also the same shade of black). The profile numbers on the original image on screen reads for the white end 242 and 255 (5% and 0%) and for the black end 0 and 12 (100% and 95%). I have concluded that there is no problem with the image or my screen, as I have mentioned it is correctly calibrated and you can see the difference in all the tones from 100% to 0%.
When I print letting ‘Printer Manages Colours’ though I do not get this problem at all, although obviously the colour balance is not excellent compared to using the proper paper profiles. I have therefore concluded that there is no problem with my printer. It must then be either a profile issue or a software issue.
However I get exactly the same problem if I print on Epson Glossy paper using the appropriate original Epson profile and ‘Photoshop Manages Colours’. I have therefore concluded that it is not a profile issue and it must be a Photoshop issue, unless all the Epson profiles are corrupted which I think is most unlikely.
I appreciate that my logic may be completely wrong and that is why I am posting my plea for help.
Somewhere deep in Photoshop there must be a way to solve this problem. Can you offer any advice or assistance?

Either you aren't selecting the correct profile for the paper and printer, or something is going wrong in the printer driver and it applies color corrections when it should not.
Double check your choice of color profile - if that isn't it, then contact Epson and see if they have updates to fix their driver.

Row of an output goes automatically down after printing 1/2 screen?

I have installed oracle 10g xe R8 in oel 4 which is running on vmware. When i see the records in the table by giving query "SELECT * FROM table_name;" in plsql, then the row of an output shown goes automatically to second line after printing half screen. In this way whole table gets mess i.e. looks irregular.
thanks in advance

Did you mean in SQL*Plus?
SQL*Plus is a very basic command-line tool and doesn't handle wide result sets well without some manual formatting. Also the default settings are not very helpful - I think linesize defaults to a tiny 80 characters and pagesize an absurd 12 lines. Setting linesize to a larger figure will allow longer rows to be displayed without wrapping (although the terminal within which SQL*Plus is running may need adjusting too). However, the describe command unhelpfully adjusts its output to match the current linesize, which is why I use a script desc.sql as a wrapper.
Of course none of this is relevant if you are not using SQL*Plus.

Divs are shifting after inserting spry menu bar

I have tried so much that it has driven me crazy. Initailly I created this site by APdivs and it came out perfect and worked great, except it was not fluid and looked bad on bigger browser and screen size. I decided to change it to fluid way. Now I am in bad shape as soon as I put a horizontal spry menu bar. it shifts the columns to the left and leaves a blank space next to the column 3. I am out of idea, how to fix it. As soon as I take the menu bar out, it works perfect. and columns are stretched to the end on both sides.
Here is the link of test page
www.hpbsurgery.net
This is what I have tried-nothing worked
put menu bar in container
put menu bar in header div
Put mebu bar in a horizontal div inside header div.
changed the size and dimension of menu bar
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am running out of time.
Thanks much all....

Thanks very much for your help. I just wanted to mention one thing which I discovered this am by accident out of frustration. Originally, I was trying to control the size of the 3 columns with external CSS and it was messing up after inserting menu bar. I wrote directly in the code this am to exactly define the size besides in my CSS. AND............it fixed the problem and stretched the columns to the end on both side and sizes were appropriate, I am still not sure why did it happen.
I am not a professional and trying to build my own site as I have interest in web design, but this is first time with DW.
I really appreciate your help and suggestion about the code.
Thanks a lot,

You appear confused about how to use CSS classes and IDs. Classes (.className) can be used multiple times in layouts as for re-usable styles. IDs (#IDName) can be used only one time per page -- as for layout regions or when JavaScript is needed to act upon it. Try copying and pasting this code into a new blank page. Hopefully it will make more sense than what you have now.
