HP printer prints in "best quality".

Hi, I think I have tried everything with two different printers from HP (HP Officejet 4500 and HP Deskjet 3050) to have them printed. Printer acts like it is printing but it will not ink on paper.  Finally I started messing around with the print quality.  When I put it on 'Best' it prints slowly, but in a very light gray instead of the normal dark black.

Any ideas what I'm missing?  I'm on a Mac using Mountain Lion.  I cleaned the printheads, made of the alignment and changed the settings by default, etc..

Here is the scan of what it looks like when it is printed.

(I was happy that he printed in any acutally)

Thanks in advance for any help!

If two printers displayed this common effect you saw what would be the result if you have installed the printer on another computer? Here is a link for both of these packages (do not use the CD-ROM please):

3050 - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4066452

I would like to know how it goes!

PS I hope you have a nice day! Be sure to tell me how to replace cartridges going!

  • 5520, I don't have the best quality on the predefined menu print option.

    Hello, please can help you. I don't have a BEST QUALITY printing on the options menu. I can only print fast draft or quick project black and white as shown below. Please advise, thank you.

    Hey there @lh39!

    I should be able to provide assistance on creating a new preset!

    Looking at the screenshot your provided it seams like you're very limited to the print settings.  I would recommend open TextEdit on the Mac computer.  TextEdit is located in the application folder.  The only reason why I recommend the use of text edit is just to create the new printer preset for optimal quality.  Once you have TextEdit open go to file and click on print.  You should get a preview window before printing.

    Please follow the steps:

    1. click on "Show details" if it does not say "hide details".

    2. choose "paper Type and quality.

    3. change the quality of 'best '.

    4. click on the drop down preset menu

    5. click on "Save current setting as a preset.

    6. type your name of preses (E.g. best quality)

    7. click on OK and reset your is now registered

    When you have finished creating the preset, you should be able to open your original print job and choose your new preset!

    Let me know how it goes and thanks again for the display on the HP Forums!

  • HP Envy 4500 series: print 'Photo printing without borders' and 'best quality '.

    Problem: It only prints in the borderless Photo printing option.

    Text in black it prints appears in gray.

    It prints only in quality adjustment 'Best '.

    The test (after cleaning the print head) page shows the 6 colored rectangles but no black text.

    I cleaned the print head, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the software.

    The cartridges are NOT original HP cartridges.

    Of course, color works fine.

    I replaced the black cartridge with a new one, twice.

    I can buy a new printer for the price of these replacement cartridges.

    Should I worry about trying to fix this problem or should I throw it out the window?

    In the here document troubleshooting steps can help solve the black print is not on your printer 4500 desires.  Note that when printing in paper mode Photo black cartrdige is not used because the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If the photo paper is selected the pritner will use color ink to print in black.

    My guess would be that you have a black cartridge faulty, not unusual for third party cartridges *.  You can try to mop up the printhead on a damp cloth.  A good cartridge would have a strong black ink spot.  You may be able to recover the cartridge by soaking the print head in warm water, nozzles down to the 1 "of water for about ten minutes.  After soaking, dry the electrical contacts and reinsert into the printer.

  • Workflow to ensure the best quality print files

    I have a number of birds in flight photos that do not whole screen. I want to crop the part of the image and print it.

    I want to complete the process in Lightroom cc, however the impression that I get on the web, is that Photoshop has tools higher resampling.

    What is the optimal workflow between Lightroom and Photoshop to get the best quality print file?

    I had to rate an image for printing several years ago and made some tests using Photoshop, Lightroom and some third-party software, resize possibly perfect.

    It turned out that Lightroom has produced the best picture, followed closely by Photoshop.

    The image produced by the third-party software maybe was a bit stronger than the others, but it seemed unnatural.

    You can easily test yourself - create images in the same dimensions in pixels of Lightroom and Photoshop, then compare them to view 100%. Photoshop you give several resampling options that produce slightly different results, try bicubic and bicubic smoother.

  • HP Photosmart C 4680: C4680 - Test ok but the alignment page is of poor quality and can not print a good quality copy now

    After changing the black cartridge, we are not able to print a page of alignment of good quality, although the test page prints fine. We tried to align page alignment of old and of good quality, and he is still not able to print a good quality alignment page. We have tried to clean the print head, but it cleans only the first round. It is a brand new HP cartridge that is used. Do we need a new cartridge or is there something else we can do? Thank you.

    Thank you for your response. I have contact support who thought that it was a problem of breakdown of pen and I ended up having to buy a new printer.

  • iMovie 10.1 How do I export a project in the best quality

    When I right click on a movie theatre it is not possible to "get info" to see what size it is, that is of quality. So I have to copy it to the desktop computer for "get info. In my view, there a lot less bytes project finalized before it is actually exported at the theatre.

    Is it possible to export the project in its original full quality lossless on my hard drive somewhere so that I can create a library of best quality movies?

    You can adjust the quality if you share the file and check the box if you want to add to the theatre.  Here's a movie 1080 p in full size:

    Hi Experts,

    I'm working on the first Elements 10. I want to export the video in better quality. I'm going to play in Big TV video from a USB USB OR from YouTube, or through airtime or through DVD.

    But I see a lot of options to save video files. Example: "HDTV 1080 p 30 high quality" / "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" / "Adobe Flash Video" etc. "."

    One who gives quality. I want to keep the video file best quality at all times.

    If your source video is 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second, so your 12 elements of first is not appropriate as defined by the program. You then define the predefined project manually to

    NTSC

    DIGITAL SLR

    1080 p

    DSLR 1080 p 30 @ 29.97

    As a side note, if your camera really saves 30 progressive frames per second and not 29.97 progressive frames per second, then the project preset for set is

    NTSC

    DIGITAL SLR

    1080 p

    DSLR 1800p 30

    Try to check this information in a test project, where you import the active project file, right click on the thumbnail, select interpret footage and see the section of the cadence of the dialog interpret the film.

  • Best quality for streaming

    I have a few quality filmed, at 1920 x 1080. I want to encode a WMV or FLV file and resize it at 550 px horizontal, vertical 309. I get to these dimensions by dragging one of the two dimensions in the verified with forced SOUL. When I try to save this profile, I get an error message that it is an invalid image size. It seems that the dimensions must be integers, is that correct?

    Secondly, I started with the preset of Windows Media, then selected one of the subsidiary presets on NTSC. In each case, the resulting video is poster, as if working with a different color palette.

    I am trying to get to the image size and format that will give me for streaming high quality and who will not need to be re-resized when I embed into a web page.

    What is the best way for me to do this?

    Joe Parsons

    The encoding algorithms used do best when using multiples of 16. It is the most effective and gives you the best quality. To get more close to your original size, you can use 544 x 306. That will be much easier on the coding work better and faster. In comparison with the size of the original, the differences are minimal. hard to notice.

  • PDF printing is not 'Best quality' Option

    Not sure if this applies more to Illustrator or Acrobat.

    I work in a printing company and we have 4 computers. Whenever I have something in Illustrator design I'll save it as a PDF by clicking on file > print and the choice of the Adobe PDF format. On this screen, he asks me what quality setting I want to save it as, and, as usual, I'll select "quality".

    Now, all computers except one have this option. On a computer the highest setting, that it will are 'High quality' and does not give me the option of 'total quality '.

    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Sincerely,

    Frustration of PDF

    Edit: Using CS4. Not sure if this is useful.

    I don't see a problem here... These are just the presets that by all means, you can define yourself by creating a custom from scratch. If it is not there by default, you have probably a problem with updates or other Adobe applications, have done something funky with the PDF shared the world stuff, but like I said, it should be easy enough for eitehr create the preset or copy it on since another machine...

  • Print to PDF quality settings does more (Photoshop CC 2015)

    Hello!

    For years I used print to PDF to get the PDF versions of my PSD files with markers printing on them. After a recent update, none of my pre-set parameters (high quality, print quality, oversized, etc.) seem to work at all. The same PSD files that I made a PDF of in the past now print to a PDF version blurred. Did someone else wrong with cela, and are there any suggestions to fix this?

    Thank you in advance.

  • Easy Print silver vi quality control

    Hello

    I just came across an interesting bug?

    I use the VI easy to print to print the visible part of my front panel. I had a few money controls (now I just will not replace) on the PC, and I realize that

    printing as a pdf is bad, only for controls of money (modern and system controls are ok, perhaps the most beautiful is the control system).

    See this snippet to reproduce the problem. I tried two pdf printers: Foxit Reader reproductive and free PDF. The two produced the problem, under LV2012 and LV2014 too.

    Why money controls may not be printed correctly in pdf?

    Two words: color resolution. You should see the same effect on the screen if you reduce the resolution of your monitor color, or make a screenshot and reduce the resolution of the color in the paint.

    If the screen is customer facing you should use controls system in any case.
