Management of the print color settings

I've never had no problem printing from Photoshop on my Macbook Air, until I think I've accidentally pressed some keys on my keyboard which was obviously shortcuts.

Now, whenever I try to print - the first image attached appears, as it usually happens with normal printing pre box, where you can choose the paper size, layout, color etc etc.


I visited the print settings dialog box and everything seemed normal.

I also went in Edition > settings of colors... but it was a bit out of my League that I don't know anything about the print & color management settings.


If this is useful - I've also attached a screenshot of my current color settings.


Can someone help me pleaseee - it drives me crazy!


Thanks in advance!

It is the normal print Photoshop dialog box. This must always come first. Access you the settings of the printer driver by clicking 'Print Settings '. It is also quite normal.

Do not take into account the color settings dialog box, it is not relevant here.

BTW, having the printer manage color is a somewhat safe setting, but you can usually get better results by letting Photoshop manage color and make the conversion to the desired printing profile. Then you will need to choose the right profile manually, and also make sure that the printer driver is set to the correct paper type. And the printer to support.

In addition, the document profile is listed as "Display". This is the profile of Mac OS X will assign to the screenshots, but it is generally not a good idea to use the display as a document profile profile (both are different things and have different goals). Best to convert it to a standard such as sRGB profile if you intend to use the file to something else.

  • What is the best 'color settings' for documents 4 colors Photoshop 9.0 for eventual printing on a printer? Thanx

    What is the best 'color settings' for documents 4 colors Photoshop 9.0 for eventual printing on a printer? Thank you, Scott

    The 'best' color settings are profile and end points specified by your lithographer. You can see that the work will be produced in CMYK mode, it can specify a RGB. (One of the reasons why it might ask for an RGB file and perform the conversion itself is so that it can prevent its competitors its CMYK settings that apply to the GCR, generation of black [ramp] and limit of total ink regarding specific paper.) Its recommendation may also vary depending on your choice of paper and the surface of the paper. If the choice of the particular lithographer cannot be done at this time, it is generally acceptable to provide the Adobe RGB file with the default settings of Photoshop.

  • Please help with the correct color settings

    I use ID CC depending on which we, my printers want my final PDF either as PDF/x-1a (I know it does with regard to Flattening) or PDF/x-4.

    I need all color images for close to CMYK, no matter what they were when placed. I need all 100 %K black to stay like this and not to convert an intense black.

    Currently, my document color settings are:

    Parameters: general use of 2 North America

    Workspaces:

    RGB: sRGB IE61966 - 2.1

    CMYK U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

    Color management policies:

    RGB: Preserve embedded profiles

    CMYK: Preserve numbers (ignore linked profiles)

    Conversion options:

    Engine: Adobe (ACE)

    Intent: Relative Colorimetry

    I use the default settings for PDF/x-1's or PDF/x-4 (most have the ink Manager to convert all tasks to deal with) and and always receive a yellow warning with the following in general warning triangle:

    The preset specifies source profiles that do not match the current color settings file. Profiles specified by the color settings file will be used.

    What should I check in my document color settings to avoid this error message (the resulting files do appear to be OK for what I need, I want to just make sure that I put it just in case this error). Of course, other thoughts are always appreciated also.

    What should my document color settings also if the final document will be black and white (in grayscale) and contains only data on the black plate?

    Sorry to contradict the Peter a bit here, but X - 4 allows to RGB, rather than to specify it, so you can have your PDF by setting 'Convert to Destination (preserve numbers)' with an appropriate destination CMYK profile and still conform to the standard X-4.

    That's what I'm doing here, because I prefer the Adobe CMM performs the conversion.

  • HP Deskjet 5100 taped in grayscale - Management Options not available in the settings of the printer color

    Hello!

    My printer is a HP Deskjet 5100 on Mac 10.8.5. He's stuck on shades of gray, when printing. Any program I try to print in I do not get the color management option, even when checking in the advanced options.

    On photoshop, he's also stuck in grayscale.

    I printed a test page with success in color. But for some reason, no program will be printed in all except grayscale.

    I tried to update the drivers, but the audit of Web/driver HP site, everything is up-to-date.

    Other information:

    In the printer options, I can't even check my rate of cartridge. I have the following message: Information not available

    In ColorSync Utility, under devices, it says the printer Mode is: "grey". When I try to assign a different color profile, do not.

    I did a hard reset of the printer.

    I removed completely and resynced the printer with the computer again in prefs/Print & analysis system

    Any information would be amazing. I checked all the forums that I could find online,

    Hello

    Your printer is not compatible with Mountain Lion, that's why using Mac one driver generic PCL which is black & white drivers only:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01856359

    Try a 3rd party like HPIJS driver, it seems your printer support and more likely to provide you with a better results than a generic driver.

    Don't forget to install one of the 3 required uploads before adding to the queue printing:

I know I asked a lot, so thanks in advance for any input or advice.

    Best regards, ScottyB34

    What are the settings of your printer wants? Some may deal with sRGB some want Adobe RGB Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-k in Photoshop, then choose North Amercian prepress 2

    He'll take care of the tags for you, or if sRGB is important, Norh American General Purpose 2.

    Here is a summary of the settings PDF and their meaning:

    When you are ready to create a PDF file from an application such as Illustrator or InDesign Adobe, we give you a list of the predefined PDF settings from which to choose. Well how do you decide which is the right choice? Well, let me explain what they do.

    Let's start with the smallest file size and the name of the type of the story. It is compatible with Acrobat 6, which means that anyone who has Reader or Acrobat 6 or above will be able to open the file. Now it converts everything in sRGB color which is a common space for color monitor.

    All RGB is truncated to sRGB, CMYK and spot colors also. So that means if you have a job to print, you can see some color shifts in this outgoing PDF. You must decide whether it is acceptable. He can't stand live transparency, not flattened. It downsize image content to 100 pixels per inch and this is part of how she made a reduced file size. It also uses aggressive JPEG compression of poor quality on the content of the image. So, you can see some of these rectangular JPEG artifacts.

    But it is how it gives you a reduced file size, and results are appropriate to be posted online or attached to an email.

    High quality printing has compatibility with Acrobat 5 and above. There is no color conversion. RGB RGB stays, rest spot, stays of CMYK CMYK spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency. It does not perform some downsampling to 300 pixels per inch. So, for example, if you placed an image which was 300 ppi and then set to scale up to 50 percent there actually a res then 600 pixels per inch.

    Well, this process would take half out these pixels. Therefore, it can create larger files but that makes it suitable for in the House of printing or sending Let's say a remote office if they want to print we tell cells leaves, or brochures, or something like. It's beautiful out on an internal printer.

    Print quality and high quality printing have similar names, so this may be a bit confusing, but print quality has compatibility with Acrobat 5 or higher. It converts the content of RGB to CMYK destination values according to what you specify as the destination.

    It is usually SWOP, S-W-O-p. It supports live, not flattened transparency. It performs the subsampling bicubic to 300 pixels per inch and because that it keeps at least 300 pixels per inch, which means that it can create some large files, but it is suitable for professional printing.

    Then we start to get into the presets named 'X '. 'X' is now for Exchange. They agree on specifications and the idea is to have a set of specifications if a PDF file is compliant to these specifications, we know it's going to be printable.

    We know that imaging devices are going to treat them properly. So this goes back to 2001, and which can seem a bit old, but bear with me. PDF/X-1 has a compatibility with Acrobat 4. I know, it sounds old. It converts RGB to CMYK content, it keeps the content of good tones. It flattens transparency. Downsize it at 300 pixels per inch. It can large enough crat files if you have large size images in your project and that it is suitable for professional printing.

    The idea behind X-1 is if you send a PDF file to an unknown printer, you do not know what are their capabilities, you send abroad, it will be able to be photographed on any device. No matter the age, it is, they can print. Over the years, the concepts of Exchange became more sophisticated the workflow and devices become more sophisticated.

    SP PDF / X-3: 2002, remains compatible with Acrobat 4 and that means that it flattens transparency, but it does not perform any color conversion.

    This means that it maintains RGB content, place remains in place, rest of CMYK CMYK. He still performed bicubic downsampling at 300 pixels per inch, and therefore, it can create large files. But this is suitable for commercial printing, if the printer signals you that it is present RGB content is correct.

    PDF / X-4: 2008 is compatible with Acrobat 7 and later. See, we're getting more modern. No color conversion. RGB RGB stays, stays CMYK CMYK, spot rest spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency.

    He still performs bicubic downsampling. Therefore, it can create large files because it maintains the pieces of the image to 300 pixels per inch or higher and it is suitable for commercial printing, as long as the printer tells you that RGB content is not serious and dynamic transparency is acceptable. Some older workflow does not support dynamic transparency, or they treat well, and that's why always ask. It is a special case in Illustrator, something called default Illustrator. Its compatibility is Acrobat 6 or higher.

    It does not perform the color conversion, everything continues like this. It supports transparency live, not flattened, and it also contains the original, editable Illustrator file in the PDF file. It preserves layers and it may be return, can be reopened safely in Illustrator and it's really the only PDF format you can do with safely. But it can create larger files, because you sort of two files for the price of one, they sometimes get huge.

    So what predefined PDF is Right For You? Well, if you want to send for printing, the first thing you should do is to ask your printer how they want the created PDF.

    They should be able to give you the plug for the creation of the PDF file. They may be able to give you job options files you can simply import and use as your preset target. But if it's a stranger the printer or the printer for some reason any said, well, I don't know, just make a PDF and this happens, well, choose the lowest common denominator to the PDF/X-1 test. Anyone can image that. If it is a more modern printer and up to date, especially if you send it to someone who uses digital presses, PDF/X-4 should be safe.

    I always go back to point one, ask the printer. If you send it as an attachment or you're going to post online, well, smaller size of file is a pretty clear choice. But remember this, you can start with one of these predefined parameters, and you can always edit it to customize your specific needs. So get to know the presets, understand the destiny of the PDF you create, and then make the best PDF that you can.

  • OfficeJet pro 8600: not possible to change the scanning of the Panel of the printer resolution settings

    With my Officejet pro 8600, there is no possibility to change the scanning resolution settings when you are working in the control panel of the printer (not present button to touch) when I want to scan to the computer, while in the manual it is mentioned that, after pressing the Document Type, it should be possible to reach the resolution to change the resolution of the scan setting. On the other hand, when the scan to a memory card the button change the resolution settings is present.

    Sometimes for the scanning of all computers to select (winXP SP3 installed on it). The HP printing software is installed on all computers and manage digitization to the computer is turned on. It is possible to change the resolution settings when using my computer with the HP printing software, but as I said not in the use of the printer.

    Thank you to help you solve the problem!

    Hey mk75053,

    Scanning to memory card has the parameters of resolution through the front because that is the only way for the device perform this type of analysis.  However, to change the resolution settings for the Scan of the computer, one will have to perform scans through the software installed on the PC.

    I have all three types of 8600 models where I am located (base, more high quality) and of all printers simply ask to start the analysis after selecting the scan type.

    I hope this helps.

  • 10.1.13 print via the print server settings - urgent

  • Change the printing WillPrint settings

    I see that the WillPrint event is raised after the user dismisses the dialog box print. I have a PDF file where I want to only allow them to print page 1. Can I use the WillPrint event and change the print settings as well as the first page is printed? Thank you very much.

    Rick

    As try67 says, the event does not work like that.

    WillPrint is exactly like that - he is fired when the user presses the Print button in the print dialog box, so at this time the printout will be no matter what you do with the event. and they have already made their choice on what is happening out of the paper tray. If JavaScript could intercept these choices it caused no end of problems.

    First of all, let us make sure that your computer has the latest Windows updates, especially of .net framework, necessary to run many applications and the latest Java.

    Unplug your printer.

    Download and run this patch to completely remove the printer from your computer. Run the fix, a MUST on Vista computers, until it prompts you to restart your computer.

    If you use Windows 7 also try... Driver Manual printer removal

    Restart your computer.

    Download the correct drivers.

    XP drivers

    Vista 32-bit drivers

    Vista 64-bit drivers

    All other drivers

    Install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect you your printer (power on)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.

    If you use Windows 7, use the Vista drivers in compatibility mode.

    Right click on the file setup.exe, on the left, click Properties, compatibility of the left click. Replace the Vista compatibility (try Vista SP2). Then, install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect (printer)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.

    I was able to install the vista driver and print it. I did not anything special to set compatibility mode. So far I had no problems. I printed the page alignment and test page that offers installation, then a very short text document and a mapquest page, recorded on a document. I got properties of the printer defined for use only black and white, as is my habit.

    So far so good.

  • New computer system, the printed colors are wrong, please advise.

    I recently bought a new computer system Inc. Dell U2711 monitor and bought LR4 and CS6. Everything was going well, or so I thought, until I got a few make impressions. The impressions of my old system (with which I used only 10 items) look good. My new system look terrible, the colors are simply false. My workflow is open in LR then finished in CS6 before RAW image and save in JPEG format. Recorded images look fine but when I click either view / color tests or if I use an image as a desktop screen saver, it gives the same washed out appearance in the wrong colours. I'm at the limit of my technical knowledge here, anyone has any ideas please?

    "proof colors" will be probably confusing if you don't understand its function or how to use it effectively

    But if Photoshop is to display your appropriate images (Source > MonitorRGB) - half your battle is won - the problem is your Source > print space

    I would http://www.gballard.net/photoshop/epson/cs6/ to get a workflow (and brush upward on the theory)

  • help choose the correct color settings

    Hello everyone, its been a long time that I installed Photoshop and do not remember the appropriate parameters for the work in Photoshop CS6.  I had a problem with my computer and had to reinstall and now my mind is a blank. I tried browsing here and on the net and came up with a large number of ions of conflict.  I know I have to use Adobe 1998, but alternatives escape me. I do know that if I should change the gray space, I was told to use gray gamma 2.2. I don't know if I should Desaturate monitor 20% etc.

    What conversion options? What should those be?  And what about the advanced controls and what must be those defined for better photographic needs.

    I hope that's not too redundant, if it has already please send me to her.

    Judging by your screenshot I guess you run Photoshop on a PC and I hesitate to make any recommendation beyond the ones I listed. I think that. other than the installer, I suggested, all of the default settings are a safe bet.

    If my answer your request solved the problem, you can mark the correct answer. Thank you.         normftb

    I would like to turn off the color on the printers driver management.  The challenge I'm having

    is my pictures on my computer do not match those of the printer.

    Hi bpj1242, actually you can simply disable the printer color management. What you need is an application that allows to manage the colors, such as Photoshop. In this application, you can then choose "Applacation manages colors." This will automatically disable the printer color management. In the print dialog box you will see under message options, the printer color management has been disabled.

  • the paper size, and paper also prints the profile color inkjet

    I intend to use an inkjet printer to print at least one (or more) copies of a drawing of YOUR CONTINUOUS created in Ps CC 2015. I have several questions about the TYPE of DOCUMENT and the ADVANCED OPTIONS:


    1 Wkind of hat of paper do I need to buy, and should I use one of the presets U.S. PAPER?


    2. If I don't want to design to BLEED on paper, should I create the design that is smaller than the HEIGHT and WIDTH I choose (e.g. would allow a larger size such as 8.5 x 11 for the margins between the edge of the paper and the design itself)?


    3. is it true that inkjet printers are usually set to 240 and, therefore, the image of RESOLUTION must not exceed (eg. something higher is too much data for the printer to process in a reasonable period of time and there is no difference in quality anyway)?


    4. should I work in RGB mode and CONVERT them to CMYK when I finish the design?


    5 should I use the default PROFILE of COLOR RGB (sRGB IEC61966-2, 1), Adobe RGB (1998), the "color management this document" option, or some other?

    You'll want to experiment with the printer.  Save copies of the file in separate RGB profiles as I explained in my post.  You will be surprised on the different color prints, you will be able to achieve.  As you work in a workspace 'closed circuit', you can print RGB strictly.  This will allow a wider range through the barrel.  Certainly use color management in the print driver.  For what is the resolution of the image, use the 140 to 150 pixels per inch.  No interest to enter in the halftone screening technology platform.  Suffice it to say, 300 pixels per inch is unnecessary and too much data for inkjet.
