obtaining good blacks with epson 2200 printer
My blacks are rather warm
Is there anything I can do in channels to get a true black.
rgb prins a bit darker B and W
greyscale mode is a bit lighter
but still to the discerning eye they seema bit magenta toned
If I mix a rich black using the CMYK colour picker, set it as the default foreground colour, will that black be used for printing? I am just not sure that for printing PS does not just use a 100% K.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I print RGB documents from AI CS6 (and earlier ai versions as well) to an Epson Photo 2200, the color is wrong. In order to print decent color, I must copy the ai files to Photoshop (at 300+ dpi) and print from there. Only then is the color good (as expected). I am using Adobe RGB (1998) as my document color space, and being very careful to allow ai/ps to manage color, matching the driver with the proper print speed, stock, etc, using Epson's paper-specific ICC profiles for each print.
What is it about the way ai sends color to a printer that is so "wrong?"

Is blurb a good program for printing a digital photobook? Is the LR5 process better than downloading blurb and then sending it in to be published?Which of the LR5 blurb options is the best?

levels and curves don't give me the same results. I tried to create a luminosity mask of whites with selective color. Is there a great skill to boost whites for example?
a colleague has been working on a website and the below images show the files and colours they should be, but he has opened the files up again yesterday and the files show as per the second image (the colours have changed from blues to all black but with edges defined). The document was originally created in CMYK and brought from a PDF (I know, but it wasnt us!) so there may be some legacy there, but the only thing we could think of was a colour gamut or web colour warning, but changing those didn't seem to make a difference.

When I try to merge layers, flatten image or cmd+opt+e/cmd+opt+shift+e to a new file it does the same thing. Here's what I've tried to correct the issue:
-I've tried saving it as a PSD file, a TIFF, a JPEG and a BMP file
-I've tried calibrating my monitor (X-Rite i1 Pro)
-I've tried soft proofing on and off (left off for now)
-I've tried resetting my colour settings to import files into the working space as ProPhoto & Adobe RGB 1998
-I've tried setting the import as the calibrated settings for the screen rather than ProPhoto or Adobe RGB 1998
-I've checked that all files (apart from a Dodge/Burn Layer which has to be on Soft Light never affected any files before) were set to normal
-I've tried converting profiles from ProPhoto to Adobe 1998, Adobe 1998 to sRGB
-I've tried going to preferences in User>Me>Library>Preferences>Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and manually resetting all relevant references
-I've tried flushing and resetting all preferences
-I've tried to uninstall and install Photoshop SC6 from scratch
-I've tried restarting the image from the raw file with the new install of CS6, done all the edits again manually...
And it still does the same thing. Whenever I have adjustment layers on my file and have some contrast added that I want to save, it flattens the whole image out..The last attachment is what it looks like in photoshop and another with my colour settings for the (calibrated) screen
I am doing a product shot, and the company's spec sheet advises that the brightest (or maybe lightest??) whites be 240, and the blacks around 30. I think this has something to do with levels, and not having blown-out whites or clipped blacks, but how do I check that those are the levels in my final proofs?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have line drawings in a layout that I scanned in. I'd like them to be the same or close to the black cmyk value of the text in the document. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I tried channel adjustment and replace color,
putting in the specific value I wanted (I read that c50 m40 y40 k100 was a good black for print), but nothing seems to work correctly. I would like to keep some kind of greyscale value (not make everything black), but I want the darkest shade to be that specific cmyk value. How do I do this?
I know if you Control Click on the RGB channel in the channels palette that
you basic select all of the whites in the image. Is there any way to do this
for the blacks and mid-tones? If no, does any one know of a way to do this
(plug-in, etc.)?
In a file with several layers, my monitor temporarily blacks out when adjusting colors in a Selective Color adjustment layer. Is there a solution?I changed the Advanced Graphics Processor Settings to "Normal" from "Advanced." Seems better but am I losing performance?

I have a clipart that a friend drew for me that is black and white. I scanned it, added to it and saved it as a .psd. I used a reduced size clipart to add some color. I than decided to add color to the full sized clipart using the bucket tool. The color picker will not allow me to choose any color other than blacks, grays, or white. It worked fine with the first clipart but nothing after. I tried in Elements 6 and just purchased Elements 12 hoping that would be the ticket.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm on Illustrator CS5 and I am exporting to PDF. My blacks are coming out grey although my settings for Appearance of Black are all set for rich black on both On Screen and Printing/Exporting. I have tinkered with both settings Display All Blacks As Rich Black and Display All Blacks Accurately, I've also tried messing with the color swatches with different blacks and I get nada!
Blacks still look grey on export and print grey.
My document is set to CMYK and on the Save Adobe PDF dialog, I go to Output and set my Destination to Document CMYK—U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. I've turned this off and on and exported multiple ways—nada!
Blacks still look grey on export and print grey.
X6.I'm not sure of the correlation, but it seems that ever since I downloaded the recent update, the colours (including black/grayscales) in the RGB vs CMYK palettes look different. What I mean is, I have the RGB and CMYK palettes right next to each other, and they used to look identical; now all the CMYK ones look lighter/washed-out than before.Or could it have been a recent Windows update?

I have a large rectangle for my background, and I used the eyedropper tool to select the black from the jpeg. The CMYK numbers are even the exact same, yet when I export the ai file as a jpg/png/pdf the blacks look different! We are going to press next week and I really need the blacks to be the exact same!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have seen a problem like this before, and raised a question on the forum, but realised what was wrong (the problem happened on a full colour image, and once I set the Process to 2012 it went away). However it has cropped up again, and this time the image was imported directly into LR4 so Process was 2012 by default.
I have an image which is a glass with liquid in against a black background. I have made a few tweaks in LR and am ready to send it off for printing. I just though I would take a look in Soft Proofing to see how the coloured liquid looked. When I click soft proofing and choose the correct profile supplied by my printing company (which is a 'glossy' profile), the black takes on a milky grey appearance, but according to LR is not out of Gamut.
If I choose the matt profile from my printing company, the same effect is there, but less so.
I rather think that this is quirk of softproofing black, what with black not actually being a colour and all that. Since there are no gamut warnings, and I have never had a problem with printed images on a black background, then I think I should ignore this. It does give a rather mis-leading impression though.
I made a logo for one of my blogs but I can't seem to get the settings right.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS6. The patch tool did not appear to work as well in CS4 or CS5 and CS6 appears just as bad.
I've attached an image showing (from left to right) a patch using:
CS3;
CS6 Normal;
CS6 Content Aware.
CS3 is MUCH better.
my setup is: Pentax K20/80-200,2.8 Star ED, dual studio flashes with semitransparent white umbrellas, X-rite color proofing card, CS5, Syncmaster 214T with Spyder2 for calibration and Epson R2400 with all the proper ICC profiles..trying to repro an artwork with many nuances, particulary blue, red and yellow, the red one will show properly. The red gets smeary and too red.
The artwork has a little more of blue in it but that does not show up in the print, just on screen. The difference from screen to paper is too big for my taste (calibrated the day before). I've recently repaired the monitor with better quality capacitors to enhance performance.
I use glossy Epson paper. Also the blue seems to bleed when printed. Resolution of picture is 360dpi as recommended by Epson. I use "keep sharp edges"when enlarging it from the original 240dpi. This has the effect of retaining the colors at least on screen. Sharp image = more pure colors.
I am trying to make a logo. I have it complete but I do not likethat the text looks a little pixilated. I want to make the text look good, in other words make it look High Quality.
