  • CP1215 print colors, but and .jpg file prints all black

    So, I used this printer very well for about 6 months with Win7 Home Edition.  Received a warning of low black cartridge about a week ago.  Today I went to print a jpg file, it comes out ALL black.  Tried to print a PDF file with colors in, that's fine.  Test page prints correctly.

    What the devil?

    A black toner low causes REALLY do?

    I'm not sure that this is related to this error message, but it could be a software problem. When you print these images? Have you tried other places? Looks like that the system does not send the information to the printer properly for me, so we'll see the first relocation of the software:

    First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it (it's important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.

    In the menu START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here, I want you to press Ctrl + A, and press DELETE. Some files you cannot delete them, ignore these files and delete the majority that allows it to.

    find and install SOFTWARE to FEATURE FULL if it is available:

  • using three colors instead of the HP C4780 black print cartridge

    can I set up my printer to use the cartridge three colors to black and white or regular print?  (I buy black cartridges and lights all but seem to only use black).  THX!

    Hi winter1420,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I see that you want to print using only the color on your Photosmart C4780 cartridge. I'd be happy to help you with that

    Looking the Page 50 of your User Guide, I would say that Yes, it is possible to configure the printer to print with just the cartridge three colors. Please note that your black from the color cartridge is perhaps not exactly black as explained on page 50 in the Guide of the user as well.

    Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Windows and Dell 5100cn Laser printer 8

    So I don't see this printer is NOT SUPPORTED on the list for Windows 8. Is there an alternative to maybe install the driver in compatibility mode. I've seen it suggested for other printers, however the Dell 5100cn is not an EXE installation.

    If I can't use this printer, I do have a weight of 65 books office paper.

    Reference Dell 5100cn, 2013 Office 64 bit on Windows 8.

    Had the same problem, each office application has crashed during the selection of 5100cn and other applications has worked well.

    I have installed the 5130cdn PCL6 driver in Windows 8, works like a charm with office.

    Hi, I have a Canon iX6850 printer, but I can't print in color from photoshop. The prints are black and white? What should I do?

    Hi Vera,

    Thanks for the update.

    Make sure that the image is set to RGB in Photoshop.

    In addition, we suggest you follow the steps below:

    1. exit and then restart Photoshop

    2. go in the file menu > hover your mouse over Print > press and hold the space key

    3 try printing

    This would reset the printing preferences for Photoshop.

    I found the answer here:

    ... «in the printer properties, select the tab settings of the device, scroll to the very last item at the bottom, which is 'Device Type'.» The value displayed (which of course got auto-installé as a default value, for both PCL6 drivers), is "AUTO-DETECT". You would think that would work, but it apparently does not.

    In any case, by selecting the drop-down arrow, it turns out that there are three available values: AUTO-DETECT, COLOR and MONOCHROME.

    Of course she then had me select COLOR, click APPLY and then click OK. I repeated the process for the other printer PCL6. »

  • 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.
