We've got a couple machines here that are plotting all PDFs in color regardless of the CTB settings that print B&W on other machines. AutoCAD 2012. Same dwg files and CTB files (from the network) and same machine setup (hardware). know of any check boxes, radio buttons, system variables, etc... that can cause this?
View 3 Repliesis there any difference when printing if my images are in CMYK in different colour modes? I will be printing in Spain and i would like to know if there is one more suitable than other. For example, US Web Coated or Japan Color 2001.

Never had this issue with X3 but I understand that X6 uses a totally different color engine so I figure I just need to know the correct settings.
Photoshop CS5 v12.1.
Mac OS 10.6.
I'm printing to an Epson R1800 printer.
Â
Print. Choose Color Management. Choose Document. Choose "Photoshop manages color". Choose the correct printer profile that matches the paper I'm using. Choose Relative Colorimetric.
Â
THEN, I click Print Settings...under the 4th drop downu I choose "Print setting..." again. Under "Basic" "color" and "Color settings" are grayed out as are some of the "Media Type" options.
Â
Is this normal? The problem is my black and white prints are printing really badly. They have color tones. I've cleaned the nozzles on my Epson printer, done everything the print utility suggests. All the test prints look fine.
i ran into print shop when they were attempting to duplicate from my photoshop file onto glossy card stock paper.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIve just updated my software from Photoshop 6 to CS3 (with updates), everything is fine apart from the printing.
Originally when i went to print to my Epson C2600N colour laser printer from Photoshop 6, the print dialog box would come up and I could then select 600dpi and print and the document would come out perfectly.
However now with CS3, it does not give me the option of selecting 600dpi in any place in the print dialog boxes (I have tried to change it manually within the Epson preferences), and I always get a very poor quality printout.
Is there a work around to this?
After experimenting, I have found that if I go to the File-> Print -> print output -> screen... option, and select 'auto' and use the settings in there the image will print out perfectly.
But is there anyway to save these settings as a default so that when I load Photoshop CS3 they will always be loaded and so I dont have to go through changing the settings everytime?
How 2 color printing and 4 color printing will work? What are the designing conditions for 4 color printing and 2 color printing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedTo create a new template one has to go through the "Printer..." dialog to change the paper size. Unfortunately, the only way to actually SAVE the new settings is to click OK, which causes Lightroom to print the current image. In all other programs, the "Printer..." dialog is used only to adjust settings. In Lightroom it seems to serve as a "Print" dialog as well. On Windows this violates long-standing UI function guidelines embodied by pretty much all other software.
Â
A concrete example:
Â
I needed to create a new template to print on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. To do so, I created a new template while in an existing template for 8x10. This copies the settings to the new template, but one cannot adjust the cell size to anything larger than 8x10. So I went to the "Printer...:" dialog to change the paper size. However, when clicking OK on the "Printer..." dialog, to save the new paper size, Lightroom starts printing the current image.
Â
What should happen is that the settings are saved and no printing starts. Printing should occur only when I click on "Print".
Â
Unless I've missed something and there's a way to change paper size, color profile, paper type, etc. (all the things you can change on the printer driver's dialog) from within Lightroom without invoking "Printer..."?
I'm using CS5 on Windows. I created a photoshop file using the International Paper settings A4, which is 297 by 210 and 150 pixels per inch.
Â
I've used the whole area around the document but I left around a 5mm margin around the edge of the document. When I come to print the document does not appear to be scaled correctly in the print preview, and then when I come to print on A4 paper measuring exactly 297 x 210 a large part of the image is chopped off at the bottom.
Â
Why Photoshop seems to indicate it is a 297 x 210 file but when it comes to printing it is not scaled correctly?
We print out spot color seps every day using CorelDraw X4. After we print out the plates, I have to cut down the vellum that we print on so that we do not have a bunch of extra blank vellum on the sheet.
We make use of the info that is printed on the lower left of every page where it states something like the following:
S:DirectoryWhereTheArtworkisLocatedfilename.cdr
Wednesday, December 23, 2011Â 8:00 AM
Plate: 1 of 3
After I cut down the sheet, I then have to hand write the name of the spot color onto the sheet of vellum in marker.
Is there any way at all, to make it so that CorelDraw would actually add the name of the spot color that is printed on each page to the information that is already being printed to the lower left? Ideally, it could be placed in the same area where it's already printing the plate information on the last line.
Could it read:
Plate: 1 of 3Â Color: Pantone 375
Using autocad LT 2008. I am working in the constriction field. Usually I receive a drawing from the architect , than I need to create my version of his drawing , meaning I need to emphasis the important construction geometry. AutoCAD speaking, im using the CTB file to control this color request
1. I set all 255 pans to gray (architect plane fade out)
2. I set random color to blue (emphasizing my geometry)
No problem when printer manages color. 1-hour photo service was fine also. Printer color management is turned off, in fact greyed out. I tried different papers and icc profiles with same results. CS5, Mac OSX 10.8.3, Canon Pro 9500 Mark II.

Currently we print using monochrome, but would like to have our proposed line work stand out even more by selecting them, and having them print out in color.

I have a file where the layer manager does not seam to be contorling the bylayer color settings. Â When I change the color in the layer manager everything seams to work fine. Â But when I try to creat objects on this layer they we not use the color that I set. Â They use the original color that the layer was set to. Â In the ribbon the color default is set to by layer. Â One interesting thing is that when I pull down the layer menu in the ribbon it will show the old color. Â
In fact the work around is to change the layer color from this menu and not the layer manager. Â This is the only drawing I have that exhibits this behavior. Any system variable that would cause this or is this just a coruption of this file. Â (I ran audit, closed autcad and restarted, verified that all objects are set to manage colors bylayer, default ribbon palets are set to bylayer).
I am trying to find out if there is a way to print only the drawing border in color and everything inside the drawing in black.

From my project manager > views, I select a view, it opens in model. I change to paper space and have my plan and an isometric view (in wire frame). I go to view and select shaded with edges. Perfect, colors on both plan and isometric are where I want them, now I want to print this.
I select my print icon and change my paper size select my printer. I select extents, center the plot and fit to paper. I preview.. And my color disappears. What.. Am I doing wrong. Should I be making my paper representations from a different start?
Yesterday.. I was trying to do the same thing.. But starting with the drawing in constructs. I end up with the same, my isometric drawing looses most of its color, the windows have color as does one layer (a line showing the outline of the floor under). The plan drawing has most of the colors but some of the layers are black where in the model they have color. To further complicate the problem.. The same procedure making a first floor drawing has the plan in complete color.

how to change color settings for all pictures I have on disc. I have digital camera and it saves pictures in
sRGB IEC profile but I have set monitor color settings to Adobe RGB. So, every time when I open pictures saved to disc Photoshop ask me: The document …. has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space.

I was disappointed to see that the CS6 More Options panel still has 8 bit dither. Why isn't it 10 bit by default ? Shouldn't Photoshop be sending 10 bit to monitors with 10 bit LUT for real wide gamut? Some printers are going beyond 8 bit now, also.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what to set my color management settings up as! I've been told a few different things! I shoot in Adobe RGB, but I've been told to set my working space to SRGB and then to set the color management policies to "Convert to working RGB, CMYK, and Gray." Then I've also been told to set the working space to Adobe RGB (1998) and then under "coversion options" change the "intent" to "perceptual." Regardless of which setting I try to use, the coloring when I view it in Photoshop is much more yellow than when I view it on my monitor. I have callibrated my monitor, so I'm assuming the problem is within Photoshop. How do I fix this so that the colors match?

I am using CS3 under Vista Ultimate.
1. When I customise my color settings the customisarion is not sticking - that is, when I save the customisation, close the settings box and reopen it - the settings have returned to North America General Purpose 2. Similarly, if I load a customised setting it has always reverted to North American General Purpose 2 when I next look at the color settings.
2. For reasons I don't understand, recent photos have started to look over saturated with a blue shift when I Save (them) For The Web. My work is all for the internet and my workflow is all sRGB. That's why I am surprised by the colour problem. It's definitely something to do with the colour profile of the photo I am working on - when I take photos I have worked on a few weeks ago there is no colour shift when I Save for Web. I have converted the problem photo to sRGB but that has not solved the problem. I know I'm doing something dumb but I can't work out what it is or how to rescue the photo I have been working on.
I close and reopen Photoshop (CS4) it seems to revert to using sRGB as Working Space, and Preserve Embedded Profiles for all three types of color file. I have to go into Color Setttings and change these settings to what I want. I know hae them in a Settings fiile, so it's not hard, but often I forget and find myself working in the wrong colorspace for days before I discover it. Why doesn't PS leave my settings as the default the next time it opens? Do I have to go somewhere else to choose my settings as default? That would seem like very clusmy design on Abode's part. Another thing that seems annoying:Â at the top of the dialog it says "Unsynchronized:Â Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronized for consistent color."
