Photoshop :: Printing Wrong Colours
Nov 21, 2005Colour settings in PS are set to sRGB and the printer colour settings are set the sRGB too. The whole colour settings thing confuses me anyway but what could be going wrong?

View 8 RepliesI recently bought a new computer system inc Dell U2711 monitor and purchased LR4 and CS6. All was well, or so I thought, until I got some prints done. The prints from my old system (with which I only used elements 10) look fine. Those from my new system look awful, the colours are just wrong. My workflow is RAW image opened in LR then finished off in CS6 before saving as JPEG. The saved images look alright but when I either click view/ proof colors or if I use an image as a desktop screensaver, it gives the same washed out appearance with wrong colours.

Then when I save it as an image file (usually png), it's even more off colour than what's displayed in Gimp. For example, if the image starts out with a grey background of 808080 (RGB Hex Value, 16-bit), in Gimp it's 7F7F7F, and when I save as a png, it's 6E6E6E (honestly, how does that make sense under any circumstances?). I've tried every combination of settings under colour management, to no avail. Once, I managed to get Gimp to display the correct colour, but when I saved it as a gimp file, and re-opened it, it was wrong again.

When I publish a file to pdf the colours do not translate properly. I use a lot of pantone colours, as I do fashion illustrations and textile designs, and for that reason it is important that my clients receive accurate colours.
Lately the colours have been coming up wrong. For example a green/blue aqua colour came up as a very darkish sky blue colour. Brown looked navy. All colours are either off or completely wrong. If I print from the cdr file, however, the colours are fine.
I use PSP X3 for web image editing and am sometimes sent jpeg files which are in CMYK format. Unfortunately PSP does not display the colours in these files correctly. Yellow will display as brown, pale blue as turquoise and pink as purple for example.
If I open the same file in almost any other programme, including the humble "Paint", the colours display fine and my workaround up until now has been to open in another programme, copy the picture to the clip board and then paste it into PSP as a new image. The colours are then fine but it greatly increases my work time, especially when I have many images to process.
Surely there must be a way to get these images to display correctly. It has nothing to do with monitor or gamma adjustment otherwise they would display incorrectly in all other programmes also.
Maybe it is a bug or just something that Corel have overlooked. RGB jpegs display fine, the problem only occurs with CMYK images.
Since version 2013 we got problems with how colours appear in the drawings.
They turn very dark. See the attached files.
It's important to us that white really shows as white.
When I print from Photoshop, I am getting this message before the printing commences:
"Some PostScript specific settings (emmulsion, Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer"
Then when I print, the colours are all different than what is on the screen. I have not had this problem previously and everything I have printed looks great. This has only begun recently and I am not sure what has happened to make it like that. My printer is a hp deskjet 930C.
I'm adapting a printer to print various conductive inks and such, however I need to ensure it only prints one 'colour' at a time. Is there a program that lets me print *just* from the magenta cartridge or *just* from the cyan, with zero mixing? I need a program that lets me do this and ideally I can input those values correctly.

This occurs when changing a jpg file or using layers. It did not happen in CS2 using the same Epson printer and the same printer settings.

I need some help printing in photoshop cs2. I create a 5x7 image at 400 resolution and when i go to print, it does not print as a 5x7 image. When I go to print, i select 5x8 paper so i am not sure what i am doing wrong.

Lets say an artwork may be only one colour, so when printed the outcome should be just that colour, but instead I end up with 5 separations printed - the one I wanted to print plus cmyk bits all blank (empty pages with only registration pieces imprinted).
Neither on artwork nor separation preview there's no process colours whatsoever, so do any of You know what may cause this?
I'm using the same print template and it happens form time to time. (not a problem for me but my colleagues complain about it all the time).
i have to admit i rarely printed from LR before.most of the time i print from photoshop.but yesterday i had to print a lot of small images so i thought i try LR for it.
i wanted to print a few 35x45mm images on DIN A4 paper.
images dimensions are correct (35x45mm 360 DPI) and it prints as 35x45mm images when i use photoshop.
when i use LR and i set the cell size to 35x45mm the prints come out to small by a couple of millimeters.
LR has not so many print settings i could have messed up.. right?
When I'm printing on CorelDRAW X6, it show me the wrong size and orientation , everything was perfect on CorelDRAW X5 and I'm fully updated. What can I do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have made 250+ sales in the last 12 months, and this is only the second time it has happened.
Although automatic rotating is on, the HP plotter DesignJet 500 plus uses the paper wasting method.

I use gimp to make layered stencils for spray painting...I reduce it to a couple of colours, seperate the colours into different layers and then cut them out...

i'm working on a job with 2 colours. I already did this using CMYK and setting 2 of them to 100% and the other 2 at 0%. But people who press these posters say me that they always have to convert the CMYK file to a 2 colours file. Is there a way to set my colours to 2 colours instead of 4?

I've tried looking this up but just get the mixer brush on every hit or. What I want to do is to take two colours, use the colour picker and mix the two colours to make a third.
I know I can arbitrarily change the opacity or by steps with the number keys but I don't to do it this way. I don't want to use a blur too or a filter. This is mixing colours basics. The mixer brush looks like it mimcs painting in one respect but its also creating muddy values.
In preparing some files for print I noticed that a .pdf generated bij PS5 has different colours than a .tiff.
Both files have been saved without colour profiles.
sort of like CS6, the dark menu has grown on me :P plus i thought it would match nicely with my dark firefox theme and dark GNOME interface AND my favour for dark BG designs.
I know i can change the background of the workspace, i've canged that to blue but my concern is more for the main GUI.
I have difficulty with is matching colours (in this case where two different colour skies join).
Is there a way to average them out so that they blend together better ?
I have a number of gradients that are currently blue and I would like to convert them to a green but keeping the same levels. Is there a way I can apply a filter of some sort to them?
how to edit the background colour, i usually just add another layer and set it as black. Is there a way that i can change the actual background layer to black or any other colours?

So i can never get the colours looking like the original unless (which isn't a solution) i change them manually by increasing the contrast ect.
All my colour settings/profiles are synced, the documents are both RGB. I just can't work it out
One some images, as I increase the resolution, black pixels appear. When the image fits the screen, I can't see anything but as I increase the resolution, these black pixels become very obvious, but only on certain colours, like the blue of this dress. CS5
