Photoshop :: Prints Different Than What My Monitor Shows

Jul 18, 2009

I am using Photoshop CS4 and I have a Canon Pixma MP160 printer. I go through a company, GotPrint.com, to print all my brochures and business cards but it seems what I send them is never what actually prints out. I understand that LCD monitors show a different display, being RGB instead of CMYK?? but how do I match it close enough? I have been trying to print out my new brochure on my printer at home until I get it to print the colors I want - but it's a huge hassle & a major ink cost changing all the colors (mostly brown for some reason) to look good printed even though it looks terrible in photoshop.

I've tried setting it in the print window to Photoshop Manages Color instead of printer. In the profile drop down I was told to select one with my printer name in it instead of working CMYK profile. But I have about 10 different ones and none of them say CMYK or anything special.

Should I use InDesign instead?

Photoshop :: Prints Don't Look Like Image On Monitor?

Oct 5, 2012

Heres what I have and my workflow
 
Windows 7/64
All drivers and software are up to date.
Photos taken with 5D Mark iii in Raw
Developed in Camera Raw
Tweaked in CS6
Color space is 1998 RGB
Saved as jpeg
 
Using a Lenovo Desktop- Ideacenter B520
Printer is Epson R3000
 
Monitor and printer are calibrated with Colormunki Photo.In photoshop I softproof using the profile created with colormunki and the image looks excellent.
 
Whn I print, I choose "photoshop manages colors", and in the printer setting I make sure color management is turned off. The prints look very dull and washed out. I make sure the correct printer profile is chosen (the one created with colormunki for the specific paper I use)
 
Bust, if using the same image, I choose "Printer manages colors", and then in the printer color management choose "Adobe 1998", the brints look wonderful.What am I doing the is causing Photoshop manages colors to look worse than printer manages colors, when in both cases the image looks great on the monitor?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Browser Shows Everything But No Model Shows Up On Workspace Screen

Jul 20, 2012

It was working fine.  Then I just did a simple command (pattern a part) and the entire workspace blinked out.  The first time it happened I hit UNDO and it was back.  So I got out of the drawing and got back in and tried the pattern again. Same issue but this time when I hit UNDO it would not come back.  I closed the file without saving and when I went back in the file the workspace is still nothing but white screen.  In the browser everything is still visible except for those that I had already changed to invisible.  I tried making an invisible to visible and nothing happened.  I got out and tried opening the "old version" which should've been before any of this happened and it is also blank.  I can go to an ipt or iam in the browser and hit open and it will open in another screen just fine.  I just can't see my main assembly.  I have Inventor 2012.  It shows no errors or messages.  I have even rebooted.  

I looked thru the forum and found a past issue back in 2005 identical.  I tried doing Find in Window on an item in the browser but for some reason that option is not even in the list when I right click.

Photoshop :: Prints From CS2?

Jan 29, 2007

I have recently upgraded from PS7 to CS2 and have not been able to get a decent print since. I used colour mangement with PS7 and had no problems (unfortunately I had a virus and PS7 got trashed as part of the removal of the virus). Whenever I print now I get prints that look to be oversaturated with nasty colour casts. The settings I am using are as follows:-

Print with preview
Colour Management
Print Document (Profile Adobe RGB (1998))
Color handling Let Photoshop determine colors
Printer profile Prem Semigloss 2880.icc
Rendering intent Relative Colorimetric
Black Point Compensation Checked

I then click on Print and select
Epson Stylus Photo 2100

I then click on Properties and select Premium Semigloss Photo Paper from the Media Type.

I then click on Custom and select PremSemi2880 from the dropdown (this has the Color Management set to No Color Adjustment and Photo Quality set to Super Photo 2880dpi. All other settings are unchecked)

I then click on OK and then OK again

When the Print Preview window appears it is horrible (which is what I would expect. It was like that in PS7). When I click on Print, the image looks though it is super saturated just as if the printer driver settings have been applied along with the Photoshop settings.

Photoshop :: Getting Lines In Prints CS6

Jun 28, 2013

I am getting lines in my prints from PhotoShop CS6.
 
My printer is the Canon MX522.
 
Ive noticed that printing from other *dumb* programs such as Microsoft Paint the images look fine BUT with photoshop the images print ultra fast and have lines. It looks like note taking paper. How do I fix this? I am guessing this is some kind of Printer quality setting????

Photoshop :: CS3 -- Prints Too Dark

Nov 30, 2008

In CS3, I'm having trouble getting my prints to match the appearance on monitor -- my prints are uniformly 1-2 stops too dark, color otherwise is very good. I have calibrated my Dell monitor with Colorvision's Spyder2 colorimeter. Prints are also a hair too dark in CS2, but not as dark.

Photos and Photoshop are in RGB color space. Printer is Epson R2400 with updated drivers I just downloaded and updated into Photoshop. I also downloaded updated ICC color profiles for the Epson Premium Glossy Paper I use.

Printer settings in Photoshop are: Photoshop manages color; Adobe RGB printer profile; perceptual rendering intent; black point compensation "on"; ICM color management; color management set to "Off". I'm using North American Prepress 2 color setting. These are the exact settings Scott Kelby recommends in his "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers" for getting calibrated prints.

Photoshop :: PS CS4 And Dark Prints

Apr 18, 2009

Old: CS3 printing to Epson 3800.  New: CS4 prints dark on Epson 3800. Regardless of picture sent over.  Same settings as with CS3 and every variation I can think of.  Epson 3800 hasn't changed.  Only Adobe Photoshop version has. I can print the same pics from (example) Windows picture manager, and what I see on the CALIBRATED screen I see on the Epson, so this isn't an Epson issue.

Photoshop :: CS3 Prints To Dark And Then To Green?

Apr 5, 2013

In CS3 I am having trouble getting my prints to match the image on my MacBookPro Monitor. 

AT first the prints were coming out to green, so I calibrated my disply/monitor on my MacBook Pro.  It seem to make a slight improvement and I used the Apple calibrating profile.  Tricky to use. 

I made some  prints with my Epson 3800 Printer using PS to manage the printing. Still to green.  Then I went over the color settings in my Preferances and followed the guide lines i read in my CS3 for Dummies book. I made some prints which came out 2-3 stops darker, but no green. So then I tried making the prints through the Epson profiles and not photoshop and they came out lighter but way to green. 

The printer settngs in Photoshop are: Photoshop manages color; Adobe RGB printer profile, perceptual rendering intent, black point compensation on, color management set to off. 

I'm using North American Prepress 2 color setting.  I did not have this problem in the past, but I also did not know how often one shold czalibrate their monitor.  Should I try reinstalling Photoshop or do I need to download any update drivers or profiles?

Photoshop :: Display Brightness For Prints?

Nov 27, 2012

what the ideal birghtness setting for a calibrated display should be in order to correctly view an image as it should appear in print?
 
Most of the books and internet sites ive looked at recommend 120cd/m2 but on my monitor the image at this setting is much brighter than the prints from my inkjet printer.
 
I use  Eyeonematch with an eye1 device which gives a range of luminance targets, again 120 being recommended in the software, but i found a calibration and profile at 90cd/m2 is about right in terms of a match for prints.
 
my question then is whether this is "correct" or am i setting the brightness too low? The image on screen is quite dim at 90cd/m2 and althought he image displays very well adn matches the print, id hate to think i was messing this up.

Rendering is Relative Colorimetric. Prints still very dark with a marked brown overtone. Prints were beautiful before the hard drive crash.

Photoshop :: CS5 Prints Too Light Using New Mac / Perfect From Older Mac?

Jul 22, 2012

Images edited w. Photoshop CS5 (v. 12.03) on a Mac running OS 10.6.8 print perfectly on my Epson Stylus Pro 3880. But the same files printed from a newer Mac running OS 10.7.4 and Photoshop CS5 (v12.1) print too light. Exact same printer settings in PS being used, same printer driver version (reinstalled to make sure not a bad driver), using the same .icc paper profile (also reinstalled), and using same batch of paper printed at same time.
 
Epson confirms driver is compatible. Everything else on the new system with PS works great. Gallery show in three weeks.

Photoshop :: Prints From DesignJet Z6200PS Distorting When Sent From CS 5.1?

Apr 22, 2013

the top image is printed from Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 57" wide and 137" tall to an HP DesignJet Z6200PS 60" color inkjet plotter.  The print preview shows that the image looks good and should come out correctly (as the lower image did when printed to a DesignJet Z6200PS as a .PDF file from Adobe Acrobat Reader).
 
Why is the image printing correctly as a .PDF from Acrobat Reader but not as a JPEG from Photoshop CS 5.1 (same source image)?
