C4480: Printing labels color leads to double image, levels of grayscale print normally

I have a C4480 which generally prints normally.

However, when I print a pdf file that I created for some labels, it prints a miniature double image on all labels on the left side (except the top one). The pdf file is displayed correctly on the screen and I got another print the PDF on a different printer and it works beautifully.

I tried changing various settings and the only thing that gets him to print normally is by selecting the grayscale option.
But I need the labels in color.

Below I have downloaded images of what happens.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

As you can see there is a mini image superimposed on all but one on the left side.
If I change the grayscale setting, then it prints normally, as shown in the photo below, but I can't print in color without headband mini image on the left side.
I have the latest driver installed and am using true color 75XL ink cartridges HP and 74XL black.
This would cause a wrong color printhead? Its the only thing I can find at the moment, except maybe a few problem of buffer memory in the printer itself, I have tried everything I can think.

Well after weeks trying to fix this issue myself and 2 days looking for an answer here...

Problem solved.

Took the C4480 to Goodwill, bought an Epson XP-630

  • Changing colors of a jpeg image

    I have several black silhouettes which are JPEG files - is there a way for me to change the color of the clipart in indesign?

    The previous answer is not quite accurate. It depends on the color of the jpeg mode.

    InDesign can colorize grayscale mode or "bitmap" mode (1 - bit black and white) images that don't contain transparency. JPEG files don't support transparency, so they can be colorized, if they are true grayscale or black and white, not RGB or CMYK that "looks like" in black and white.

    Place one of these images and select it, then go in the info panel and check the color mode. She said levels of grayscale or bitmap, you that's ready to go if you need to use an image editor to change the mode of color first.

    If the mode is good you can either select the image with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool, and then choose a shade to use as a color fill, or you can simply drag a swatch in the Panel and drop it on the image. The color will be applied to 100% for the black pixels, 0% of white pixels and something in between for grays. You can also use a color fill on the picture frame which is different from the color that you apply to the image itself for an effect from a Duotone of sorts.

  • printing color out of alignment with the double image

    HP Color Laser Jet CP1515n.

  • How files and the appropriate label color PMS separate for screen printing

    Hello

    I have to present a document Illustrator for a silkscreen t-shirt and instructions ask that I have "label own PMS color you expect the ink on the finished design." I don't know what that means, and even less how to do it. I googled and it seems to have something to do with the Pantone colours, but I couldn't find how to do this. The design is all one color, so I hope it helps me! In addition, it requires separate Illustrator files. I know this means separate into layers, but it does not design in layers. If I submit to the eps format does it matter that it's all in a single layer?

    Could someone please help me with some details on this?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Mary

    .. .the instructions ask that «label own PMS colours...» I don't know what that means...

    This is an example of so-called 'experts' in the various industries of printing using inaccurate terminology that confuses potential customers, even when they are ostensibly trying to provide instruction.

    PMS stands for Pantone Matching System. PANTONE is a company that produces for commercial offset printing inks, and who publishes books swatch for these inks and color specifications. Because it has long been the player prevailing in this market for a very long before the general public graphic computers, he took the habit as a sort of de facto "standard" transmission of the colors you want. But isn't the only such system Pantone.

    To my knowledge, Pantone does not even produce screen printing inks (which are more like a painting, really). When people throw around the 'PMS' and 'Pantone' words like that, they often reveal their own misunderstanding of what really is Pantone. In all likelihood, the silkscreen that you use think Pantone Matching System is a kind of a standard universal color. They will most likely find the Pantone color number give you them, then either look at a reference or simply manually mix their screen printing inks for a match.

    ... I googled and it seems to have something to do with the Pantone colours, but I couldn't find how do...

    In most screen printing, your concern is to use spot colors in your design rather than process colors. PANTONE product specifications of colors for fairer inks spot. It produces references to the four-color, metallic inks and even fluorescent inks and inks. Different Pantone standards are represented in Illustrator as 'Libraries of nuances', which are accessible via the drop down Swatch palette menu.

    You can set any Color Swatch you use Illustrator as a spot color. When you do so, all this means is that, when the file is printed as color separations, each spot color is printed on its own plate of separation. "Plate" is a throwback term that refers to the plate on which are the images for individual inks in commercial offset printing. Silkscreen, a separate screen is built to carry the image for each ink used in the design.

    You can also name any Spot color swatch you define, using any name you want. The name has no functional effect on the printed result. Each plate separation of color is a black image, regardless. The actual color is determined by the actual ink that is loaded in the press (or serigraphy) when it is printed. That's why, when you are working in a program such as Illustrator for a project to print, you should not think in terms of inks, in terms of colors.

    For example: you can define a Spot color swatch in Illustrator. It can be set to display any color you want. You don't want to, of course, but in the interest of explanation, assume that you set the Spot color swatch to display in Illustrator as a green color. Then, you name than Swatch "Pantone 185", which is actually a red. If you now print the file as color separations to a PostScript printer (or "print" to PDF separate colors), everything to which you applied the named Swatch "Pantone 185" will be printed on a single sheet (or page PDF).» This sheet contains a picture in black and will be titled "Pantone 185.

    Actually, when you work with a local display store, I usually create tones color chart, and references to name them not according to Pantone (or other), but in the name of the actual brand of screen inks that will use the screen shop.

    So, really, your screen printer is just requiring you to build your design using a limited number of color swatches, with each defined as a spot color. He's still implying that you must name your swatches Spot according to the numbers of colors in the Pantone Matching System, simply because it is the library for the most familiar to designers color naming.

    The easiest way to do so is, for every ink that you want to print on the T-shirt:

    1. go in the Swatches palette flyout menu.

    2. select open Swatch Library > color books > Pantone Solid Coated (or solid Pantone unpaved; it isn't really very important to screen printing).

    3 scroll through the list and select the color you want. It will be added to the list of the nuances of your document.

    The design is all one color, so I hope it helps me.

    As someone else said, because your design is one color, you could simply design using the black one and then tell the silkscreen what color ink to use. But there are some caveats.

    You must print the as a composite file (normal, full color), not as separations. It is because if you simply use a shade that appears black on your screen, that swatch 'black' may in fact be built on a combination of RGB or CMYK values (depending on the colors in your document). To print separations colors can not result in a solid black on the black plate image. It goes same for design tips by using just one color. If you want the ink to be red, and you want to design using red, then red Swatch must be defined as a spot color. Otherwise, print as red as separations or composite will not give a solid black image.

    In addition, it requires separate Illustrator files.

    Once again, unclear. There is no such thing as a "separate Illustrator file." Any Illustrator file can be printed (or saved as PDF) as a color-separations. Once again, that the printer must be clear here, it is that you build your Illustrator file so that it can be printed as separations, with each split corresponding to an ink that is responsible in his silkscreens. In practice, this means just be sure to use only the color tones in your work.

    Yet once, this illustrates the fact that a technician working in a particular printing environment can be 'expert' in his shop, is not because he know didly on the software and the workflow used on the design front.

    For stores of the most banal local screen, the safest way to prepare an Illustrator file, which leaves nothing to question is:

    1. make sure you know how much different inks are used for printing design. (Don't forget: think inks; not "color".)

    2 build your design using nothing but the Spot color swatches and a Swatch for each ink. Do not use any process of nuances. In fact, recommended is to remove all the nuances that are not actually used in your design.

    3 ' print' an Illustrator, Adobe PDF document as "printer." (I think that you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed in order to view a selection of the printer Adobe PDF.) I don't know, because I am never without Acrobat Professional.) In the output of the print dialog pane, specify separations, not composite.

    This will result in a PDF file that contains a separate page for each ink. The image on each page will be black. That's exactly what the screen printing needs to print to 'positive film' (which nowadays are often translucent paper, not film) which it will use as masks then "burn" his screens.

    ... I know this means separate into layers, but I did not design it in layers...

    Do not confuse with layers color separation. They are totally independent functions. Layers is just a way to organize objects that you create in your file. Color separation is a print function. It occurs when you print to a device which includes the separation of colors (e.g.: a PostScript device) or when you export to a PDF of the color separation, as described above.

    It is a common misconception (miss-hypothesis) among beginners. Programs such as Illustrator may help you design with every object that is colored with ink of separation including residence in a layer that is dedicated to this particular ink, it would be absurd debilitating. Again, the layers is just a "fork" of the stack of objects in your file. These objects can be in any order on any number of layers and stacking. This has nothing to do with printing on color separations. (Stacking order comes into play when overprinting is involved, but even this does not yet require layers correspond to the inks of separation.)

    If I submit to the eps format does it matter that it's all in a single layer?

    EPS does not help. Think EPS is nothing but a file format that puts the contents of your Illustrator file in a 'black box' so that it can be "passed through" to the printer by programs that do not understand PostScript. If the content of your Illustrator file is built to target printing method, it will be the content of the EPS. Today, the PDF is more flexible and easier to work with than BPA anyway.

  • I can't use the right colors for a web image.

    I can't use the right colors for a web image. CC of Photoshop can replace colors because my colors are 'out of space color to print"or something like that (I hope I translated it well - I work with the Dutch version PS and this forum is English only).

    I'm not interested in printing at all. I don't want an adaptation for printing! I want just the right color to the screen for a web image.

    I changed the settings to color several times, I created my image all over again, but Photoshop maintains replace my bright red to pale pink because of color printing.

    Thanks for your help.

    Use the SRGB color space. and in the color picker when you see the warning do not click the caveat that it solves the problem. Like that will change the color that you want to use.

  • Not compatible HP Photosmart C4480 printer ink cartridge

    HI - first time here - I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and have recently installed a new black ink cartridge - genuine HP 350XL - bought in Tesco and already used a few times.  I printed a page today, and when I went to another printing, the printer says that the cartridge was incompatible.  I had not touched the printer between the prints.
