Why am I getting faint random ink spots on my inkjet prints from indd files?

I am running OS10.4 with CS2 on an Intel Imac with 2 GB ram and an Epson C88 printer. I made files in Photoshop and did a layout of the files with indesign. The psd and tif files on Photoshop print nicely without the faint random ink spots. The indd files which contain multiples of the psd and tif files print with the faint random ink spots. Please help. Thanks.
Alan

If the spots aren't identical, its more likely that your printer heads need to be cleaned. If they
i were
identical, here's what I was thinking about the percentage:
Suppose your Photoshop image has a dark subject against a light background, and there were some very small dark spots in the background that you missed or didn't want to remove. If you print it from Photoshop at 100%, the spots might not be large enough to trigger the printer to deposit some ink droplets on the page. But, if you enlarge the image in InDesign, it may make the spots large enough to show on the page.
Mind you, that's just a shot in the dark. It could be something totally unrelated.

    why do I get faint horizontal lines when I print from elements 12 mac

    Hi Ben,
    I can't reproduce that behavior.  The only two things I can think of at the moment are (1) you accidentally added a shortcut as a panel shortcut instead of a diagram shortcut or (2) the name of the object you specified isn't for the "Multiply" node, but for some other node (you said "Multiplication" in your initial post) that can only be dropped in certain places (i.e. maybe it's a node that is only valid in Simulation diagrams).  Can you post the following lines from your LabVIEW INI file so I can look into it further:
    QuickDropDiagramShortcuts
    QuickDropPanelShortcuts
    Let me know,
    -D
    Edit:  Yeah, what he said.

    Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
    Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
    Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

  • Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?

    Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    This problem just started a few weeks ago.
    I am still using Snow Leopard.
    I have tried using Firefox instead of Safari, but still get the black screen.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

    Hi RiverBirch,
    What brand and model is your router?
    First, connect your printer to your router.
    1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
    Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
    1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
    2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
    3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
    Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.

  • Why do I get error message 1712 when I try to open my iDVD files

    I am really new to this, so forgive a stupid question...but why do I get an error 1712 message when I try to open my iDVD files in My Documents? What have I done wrong? Also, I was told that it is impossible to completely delete an iDVD project in iDVD06 accidentallly, but I think I proved it can be done. How do I go about finding it again? Thank you from an old grammy.

    OK, I`m a PC user, not MAC (but I have an IPhone 5 and Ipod Touch). I am using a Hewlett Packard HP Z 800 Professional workstation with 32 GB of RAM. My graphic card is NVIDIA GTX 670, the "monitor"" is a brand new SONY Bravia Full HD Televison set, connected by HDMI cable, 1.4  HDMI standard. Because the Iphone is new, I happened to browse the Itunes Shop and purchased the first episodes of the NIKKITA series. Runs perfectly. Yesterday I therefore invested into a larger bibliotheque of movies and single episodes of series.  Not ONE single item is running on any of my 5 computers. (All run Windows 7 64 Bit and the newest Itunes version is installed).
    Because I always was a PC User, in principal pay for downloads but also in principle boycot DRM disabled items for the very same reason I experience now (DRM is blocking the legal use, not the illegally downloaded and  cracked  versions), I might have misunderstood the message circulating some time ago, APPLE aborting the "DRM abuse". Legally the situation is an "inverse ripping" situation. Not the mean illegal downloader of copyrighted material damages the poor starving author or movie industry, but the industry is damaging (or preventing) the use of perfectly legal purchased materials and sold non funtional material, which is against all laws in the world. I`ll  remember it when they againn complain of decreasing sales and the end of the world. For myself the solution is not to purchase ANY of those bogus video, music or software files until any disabling software codes or hardware features are removed. If APPLE wants to do me a favor they could indicate if video files are HDCP -impaired or not or contain any other uninvited "user" of my property. (Of course my equipment would be HDCP ready. However I am not.)

  • How do I get my HP Officejet Pro 8500 won't print from a program called "The Print Shop 12"?

    I can not get my printer to print from this one program I have called "The Print Shop 12." I don't get an error message, it acts like it want to print but then nothing.

    I do not know about the Print Shop program but I know that sometimes quickbooks has this issue. We have two different work around for this, 1st one  Click your start button go to your printer & devices folder and right click the 8500 printer and either RENAME it or go to Properties to Rename is to OJ8500 and then Apply and safe that change and try it.
    2nd step if that does not work, click start, go back to the printers and faxes and "add a printer" when you get to the list of manufactures click HP or Hewlett-Packard and look for the deskjet ICC printer and add it, naming it PrintShop and then you should be able to printer threw that program.

  • Why does Firefox 7 freeze when I paste a filename when printing to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer?

    This is more of a bug, and it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
    I like printing web pages to Microsoft XPS Document Writer (.xps) format. FF7 seems to freeze often when I paste a filename (usually from copying something, like the title, from the web page itself) after trying to print to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer. I think it may be that I wind up copying some special formatting (or maybe a line break) and that causes FF to freeze (I then have to force-close it using Task Manager). Just a bug that I hope the developers will note and fix.
    Another question, not quite related to the above, but is there a way to save an html web page to save only the text stuff? When I save to Text File in Firefox, I usually wind up with all the html crap in it too, when I just wanted the text content portion. TIA.

    Can you undo the system restore?
    Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
    *You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
    *You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
    In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Getting HP Officejet 5600 All-in-One to print from wireless network?

    I have the printer, via  USB cable, hooked up to my desktop. I have both my desktop and my wife's notebook hooked up to our wireless network via Cisco Linksys WUSB600N USB adapters. Using Cisco Linksys WRT610N router. The Best Buy sales person said as long as I had the printer hooked up to my desktop and my desktop was on or in sleep mode that we could print from my wife's notebook. I have added the printer driver to the notebook. Now I cannot even get a test sheet to print using my wife's notebook. The printer still prints from my desktop. Do I have to hook the printer up to the router via USB cable to get this to work or what?  This wireless thing is still a bit new to me. Any help, suggestions and/or answers will be greatly appreciated. I eagerly await your helpful replies. Thanks!

    I know I'm likely bumping an old topic...but hopefully this will help someone else.
    This *is* possible.
    The best way is to enable sharing on the primary (desktop computer that sleeps.) computer after installing it properly on the desktop. Find out the IP address that your modem has assigned to this computer, save it!
    Then, on the laptop, go into the "run" menu and type in the IP address of your desktop, starting with "\\."
    (So, if your IP is, 123.456.7.890. You would type into the run box of your laptop, "\\123.456.7.890" without the quotes.)
    At this point, you may be prompted for a username and password on your laptop. Simply put in any username and password that you have on the desktop when you first start the desktop up. (If a menu requesting username and password does not appear, simply move on.) I would advise you to check the box labeled "Save this information."
    At this point a new window should appear, it will show all network resources available to you on the desktop. If you've shared the files properly on the desktop, the printer should be showing in this menu. Simply double-click on the printer that you wish to use, and voila! Your laptop should install all of the required drivers and be connected. Be forewarned, your printer must connect directly through to the desktop computer. DO NOT have the printer connect through a USB hub before it reaches the desktop, this may cause communication issues later on.
    There's really a bunch of guides out there on this type thing, but you do have to search for them. I hope that I managed to help you and anyone else out there that's wondering the same but can't drop money on a printer that's brand new.
    (Lastly...if it doesn't want to print. Restart both the desktop and printer. Most of the time that fixes it.)

  • Why Do I Get An UAC Prompt When I Start Task Manager From The Desktop?

    Windows 8 Pro X64
    In Windows 7 Ultimate x64 if I start Task Manager by right clicking on the taskbar and selecting it it starts without any UAC prompt running in my security context.  It is only if I click on show processes from all users that I get an UAC
    prompt for an administrator password.
    In Windows 8 Pro x64 I get the UAC prompt when I start Task Manager by right clicking on the taskbar in the Desktop environment.  Why?
    http://www.saberman.com

    I think I see why we were having a disconnect earlier when discussing this.  I had some time so I did some more testing and found the following.
    Fresh Windows 8 install with a normal user account (non-admin) has NO UAC PROMPT for taskmgr, regedit, etc.  It just opens under the current user context, same as Windows 7 did.
    Upgraded Windows 8 from Windows 7 install gives a UAC prompt for taskmgr, etc. under the same situation.  I made sure they were in the same OU with the same policies and the same UAC level.  No prompts!  That's the part that never made sense
    to me.  If you can run an app and then use your non-admin credentials at the UAC prompt and it still runs, why did it prompt in the first place?  Makes no sense.  And it turns out that it doesn't look like this is default behavior but something
    messed up on the 7-to-8 computers I'm dealing with.
    So am I missing some setting or something for Windows 7 to 8 upgrade or is this a bug?
    I just started seeing that behavior on a computer that has a fresh installation of windows 8.  For a few weeks after installation, it worked as expected.  Then it started prompting for user credentials when running task manager as a non-admin user. 
    If I enter the credentials of the user who started it (the non-admin user I'm logged on as) it opens and works as expected.

  • Why did I have to do a reset to keep my printer from using so much ink? Was not able to select "plain paper." Was printing in "Ultra Premium" mode.

    My printers (two Epsons) would not let me select <Plain paper> when printing anything, and always defaulted to <Ultra Premium>, which is the reason I've been using a ton of ink for the last several months. What caused that? I finally did a Reset to Basics which took care of the problem, but what created the problem?

    hello LesS., you'll probably have to contact epson's support about this issue, since i don't see how this would be related to firefox or mozilla products: support.epson.com
    thank you for your understanding

    This also works (pretty much) with the J6480 printer.  I was using a Linksys wireless 'G' router which creates 4 WEP keys letting you choose which one to use.  I was sending key #2 and it would not accept it.  The only way i could get it to work was to disable wireless security-not my idea of a good option.  After numerious emails and 1 voice call to support with no ideas i decided to look here and finally got it to accept the WEP key.  I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling completely to get everything to work 100% but now it works like a charm.  For those of you with a similar problem, using a router that generates more than 1 WEP key, try using(sending) key #1
    note to HP: your email/voice support should be as good as your on-line forum support
    thanks to DaniW-now I'm a happy camper
