Black and white tritone for offset printing

Hello

IM everything to print B & W book and you want to do with three different inks (black, a gray dark worm and a light gray), I prepared the files in photoshop Mode/Duotone and the three colors... ID has done some testing with the offset press, I got very good results, but I noticed that the black and dark gray work in light tones, generating a grain. I want to only light gray, working in light tones. How can I control this?  I should work the Duotone curves?

Thank you!

Yes, the curves will help.  You can also determine how the overprinting colors.  The curves in black and dark gray could look like a curve in "Bell", while light grey would appear as a bell curve reversed (if necessary).  You will see the results that you adjust the curves.  Good luck, sounds like a great project.

  • I can't seem to change the black and white on my Lexmark printer.

    At the same time, I changed my printer set default print black and white.  Then I would just change color when I need it to be.  Then I noticed that the check box for printing black and white has been checked and gray, so I couldn't change it.  I thought it was because I was really low on my color.  I now have a new color in this cartridge, but still it won't let me uncheck the box in black and white.  I tried to restart my computer but no change.  Help, please.

    I have a Lexmark 7600 series.

    Check the settings of the printer itself to verify that it is not changed and there only in black and white (if there are all these settings on the printer)-which would probably override the settings on your computer.  BTW, what is the exact printer?  This is it: http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=answers&startover=y&question=lexmark+7600+series&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X7675&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US#1?  If not, what is it?

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldget them to at least the printer (http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode=LEXMARK_X7675&actp=PRODUCT&id=DR11032&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en (if I was just on the printer above and you are using 32-bit Vista) and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem)) leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. You can also try the Driver Verifier Manager to see if you can identify the driver or the responsible device (assuming that it is the cause):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

    Also, check the color cartridge belt moves freely and not get stuck on one side or the other - if the belt does not move, the printer can turn off the option.

    Remove the printer from the computer (I do not mean the drivers or software - I mean the configuration in the control panel).  Create a new printer in the start menu / control panel / printers section. Click on add a printer and start from scratch.  Then see if the new connection/configuration of printer works better than the old.

    If this does not work, then contact Support technique Lexmarkhttp://www1.lexmark.com/content/en_us/about_us/contact_us.shtml and see if they can help you because I don't think it would be a problem of Vista if you have reinstalled everything.  It may be a problem with the installation but it can also be a hardware problem - so be it, they should be able to help.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Mini PCI WIFI card, what are the black and white wires for

    Hi after a lot of research, I find that my 303 1900 is the later model which can be turned into Wi-Fi, it has the LED on the front panel and the switch on the right side. I contacted Toshiba who gave me the part number which is PA 3212U - 3MPC and telephone number of the supplier, 0870 2202 202 costs about £55.00. After the Panel on the lower part of the machine (which houses the memory), I see the place where insert the PCI, which is holding me back of buying the card would be there are 2 wires 1 Black 1 white stuck with tape in the compartment where the card slips, I understand they are antenna but where are they going? they have to be fed outside of the case or they will work inside. ?

    I used a Belkin PC card for awhile but have a little tired to remove whenever I have the laptop computer in its carrying case. (OK buy a bigger box), Russell.

    Hi Russell

    The driver is usually on the CD you will get with the wireless network card. Don t worry about the installation of the driver. It is very easy.

  • Black and white only on disk printing

    Is there a way to set print on discs (DVD/CD) to black only? My MX922 brings all of the color ink low but I have used only black text on my CD, no color at all.

    The grayscale printing option is grayed out in the drop-down list on the print settings in Quailty/media.

    I am on os 10.9.5 (Mavericks) impression with Easy-PhotoPrint EX.

    Thank you!

    Hi alinsdau,

    When a media type other than plain paper is selected, a combination of the color inks will be used to print the image/text on the media; There is not a way to print using only black ink in the printer.

  • Why is it only for letting me use black and white gray for colors?

  • For black and white digital press

    Hi guys,.

    I am currently working not expensive Foundation type magazine that images of the Interior will be black and white. The actual printing company has been selected yet (so I can't ask for advice on how to work with them) but it sure it will be digital (not Offsett Press). I would ask that you to have some basic tips on:

    (1) who is supposed to be the minimum dpi and the best format for digital printing? I spoke to one who told me 200 dpi and the file in JPG format is fine. I don't know if that is universal, or just applied concept on this specific printer.

    (2) can I convert images to grayscale or keep them as CMYK but in black and white? I dunno maybe I get more deep rich blacks with CMYK.

    (3) a good tutorial on the web (or on this forum) on the conversion of images in black and white? Long ago, I found a good Photoshop Action with many variants to choose, but I don't find it anymore.

    (4) if he's going to be for the digital press should I work with images differently from the press Offsett. Maybe in digital should I overexposed them or so, I don't know.

    Sorry for too many issues, but since I'll prepare lots of images at the same time, I didn't have the free ends.

    Thanks for any info.

    See you soon,.

    SEBS

    (1) not necessarily, you can get some wobbly "shades of grey" appear. The obligation for the draw, it's that the inside of pages only use black, where coverage is all in colour, while they convert in any case so it's cheaper and faster. I guess that's not CMYK in all according to what you said.

    (2) black Rich does best to type, but registration must be accurate or it seems soft. In the press, the misregistrations are ignored; If you have a budget was released, I'm sure that there is no compensation for "run and more.

    Finally, depending on the printer, they may require a RGB artwork. Xerox true CMYK Adobe postscript.

  • E HP Print prints only black and white

    I print from an iPad on a printer Hp 5520, using print e. Hp previously was no problem until recently, it has now stopped printing in color and will be only only printing in black and white.
    If I print using the print on the iPad icon, I am still able to print in color, but I want to use the additional settings available in e print.
    I suspect that it may be to do with my an update of e print or IOS download

    I would appreciate any advice please.

    Hello R0dder5,

    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you do not want to be able to print using all options available in the HP ePrint app for your iPad.

    I'm sure that you already have, but my first suggestion is to check the settings in the HP ePrint app to ensure that it did not retain the setting.   If you choose the color setting is always print in black and white?  If so, please try to uninstall and reinstall the application.  You will have to start the activation process.  I've included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document.  There the steps to uninstall the app, if you need it.

    Please let me know what happens.

  • HP ENVY 5644 e-all-in-one Prin: I want to print in black and white

    Hello

    I wanted to print in black and white but still my printer print in color when there is a picture in the paper, it's really annoying because when I go to the properties of the printer I press black and white or black press ink only then when I press on save, I'll be back in the printer properties to find her back to color No matter how many times I put it in black and white it goes back to color. I tried pressing black and white and not return to the printer properties, but it still prints in color. Also, I changed my default settings of the printer in black and white through the control panel and tap Save. When I go into Control Panel, its saved printer properties such as black and white by default, so that's good. But for some reason when theres color of text or an image on the page I want to print, I can not change to print in black and white, keeps coming back to color.

    Please help me!

    Hello @Matthew002, hope you are well!

    Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

    I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white and also the printer goes "offline".

    Going through your post, this could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same.

    Now try to change the printing preferences:

    • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 5640 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
    • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned on

    PS: Your printer support mode single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

    Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

    See you soon

  • Canon MG5420 of color instead of black and white printing

    Yes, I read all the similar messages.  Yes, I have a Mac and follow the instructions to use TextEdit to get a printed sample to ensure that preferences are shown in black and white. In the sample of TextEdit, I was able to get a black and white document.

    I have used this printer for 1 1/2 years now without a problem.  Just a few weeks ago, when I print a document to be fair, black and white, it's printing in color or color MIXED WITH black.  Often, it is green with a bit of black or yellow and a bit of black.  When I scan a document or print a copy of a document directly on the Board, it is black and white.  When I print from my computer with Word for Mac or a PDF from Adobe, even if I make sure that the settings are NOT 'default' and the black and white option is selected, prints out in several colors.  I've made sure there's all the new ink in the cartridges, and none are the low toner level.  What to do now?

    Woohoo, Canon technical support with the phone number listed in this thread told me through it all.  It turns out that the head of the nozzle must be cleaned.  There is a small white arrow pointing up at the top of the home screen.  It is not a decoration, as I thought, but if you click on the arrow pointing UPWARDS on the printer controls that access you the parameters Menu.  From there, you can print a focus in color.  In my case, one color appears not at all, even though I had just replaced the color toner in the printer.  It said the tech that I needed to do a cleaning on the menu.  We did it twice and now it's good to go, good as new.  Thank you!

  • Why can I not print in black and white only?

    Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 more unable to print black and white only if the black cartridge is not empty?

    What I mean is that I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only but also print text in black only.  Yet, I HAVE to replace the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, because they are exhausted.  Nothing to do with black printing, whereas a SEPARATE black cartridge is and is always full should cyan, magenta and yellow ink?

    I'm aggravated about how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to buy cartridges not black when I deliberately put printing be BLACK ONLY.  I'm unable to move forward with my impression.  This is considered to be a show-stopper and is unacceptable as the setting that I've assigned and exhausted cartridges message contradict each other.  If the adjustment is made for print in black and white only including text, then print black and white, because I know that the black ink is still available.

    Take into consideration that printing may take place at any time.  Not being able to use black as my other color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop.  I can't go forward until the store open.  Wal-Mart isn't always an option.   It's lost time.

    The inability to switch to self-supply to meet to use the black cartridge is only a waste of time.

    Call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend the money on the color cartridges that have nothing to do with black and white printing.   When I am ready to print in color, which should be a time of my choosing.

    Either way, the form, which I am trying to print is black and white only.  No color is on this form.  It is foolish to force printing in color to a black and white document.

    Hello

    Specially protect the print heads printers much NEED other inks even they only print in black. During the warm-up process, printers require all inks so they can stop before we continue. Some printers allow printing (especially those who have the ink tank three colors), but they can print at a speed of snail baby.

    Kind regards.

  • HP Photosmart 7350 will not print in black and white

    This camera has served me well for printing color photos and other things for several years.

    Ink is EXPENSIVE, and I have several text documents I want to print. I have several

    56 ink cartridges (black).

    I can simply not a black and white "no photo" to print.

    I tried with the 56 and 57 (beside him) inside AND out. I tried to select in grayscale,

    in all three sub-options (high quality cartridge, black only, optimized for the FAX). Tape

    is NOT yet on the 56 cartridge. I do not use any mode of 'keep the ink' I know.

    The best I can get using the FAX setting optimized (I think) is very pale, a bad quality

    print page - words too dark, I can barely read (light grey). I suspect it is sucking

    the cartridge (cyan-magenta-whatever) 57 to print it.

    I have trouble-shot days before that by typing. I googled this problem both

    in the HP forum and out through Google. What I'm trying to make is so basic and...

    I dare say, 'simple', that I can't believe is not possible.

    Thanks in advance!

    The print head is the rectangular silver part at the bottom of the cartridge on this particular model.  It would seem that the question be electronic printer failed, but before you give up, please try soaking in hot water with one of the printheads. It is possible for the accumulation of ink on the print heads to leave a stain on the fabric during the test, this could be confused with the strong task resulting from a cartridge to work.

  • HP3209a not printing black and white enamel but will display the web page

    I'm on Mac OSX10.8.  My HP Photosmart 3209 has suddenly stopped printing yesterday and had a pop up that says I got printhead problems.  I spent two hours on the phone this morning with two so-called experts feel, the first who said that the problem was with my iMac (he couldn't find it) and the second who said it was a problem with the printer (he couldn't find it).  The printer is connected to an iMac by USB cable.  It will not print e-mail or most of the pages of black and white but now curiously print a web page. BTW, I put new ink in it and did not help anything, and Printhead Cleaner ran about two dozen times.  I try to run an alignment but the page it prints which is for most of the blocks of color blue on half a page is not recognizable on the scanner when I try to run the alignment.

    I think that you always print head problems.  Go to System Preferences > print & Scan.  Click on your printer, click Options & supplies.

    From there, go to utility > Open Printer Utility, then clean the print head.
