Printing problem transparent .png

I'm still a bit new to Indesign, and I worked to create a printable product Catalogue Indesign CS5.

For different logos, product images, etc I was by cutting the background in Photoshop to make them transparent and saved as .png, then I import in the Indesign file. The problem is that when I print (PDF or directly from Indesign), these .png images do not have transparent backgrounds. Instead, there is a shaded box the size of the image/object. This check box does not appear on the screen as a PDF or in Indesign, but only when I print.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Before I posted, I've actually tested.

A. PNG created in current versions of Photoshop with an ICC profile (I tested with other than sRGB or AdobeRGB) and/or transparency fully and properly place in current versions of InDesign, maintaining the correct ICC profile or transparency.

  • Printer not shadow printing and printing backgrounds transparent .png

    I recently did a book for my college project which I had help with before here, some problems of the printing machine was having with my work, it's that:

    2. on the pages of this book where I imported the .png (high resolution) files from Photoshop, the printer has been printing the darkest transparent parts. (I edited the image to show what happens after printing, the darkest area is the transparent part of the .png)

    I've read about flattening of transparency, but I'm a bit confused about its operation.

    Could someone help me please?


    Thank you, Andrew.

    First thing would be to ask them for a "Preset" they want you to use.

    Next would be to convert the .png .psd files and see if they work better. I never went to print with .png, and even though I think it should work, it's really a web format.

  • ID CS5.5 Mac - transparency printing problems custom size 13 x 21

    I try to print a screen printing positive transparency. The document is 13 x 21. I have a roll of 13 extended transparency which I cut a 21 "piece. I print on an EPSON 1400.

    I can not get the output to this szie file. It cuts the image within 8.5 x 11 limit each time.

    I have:

    -set a custom size in the print dialog box

    -Click on Page Setup in the print dialog box and set the custom size here, ignoring the warning to the subject it is not not printing ID dialog box

    -l' Preview in the dialog box will look perfectly oriented to the right size in the small tile

    -J' have tried everything I can think of to try to get in sync and correct output formats

    -I went to the PDF to try, fail again

    Is there someone who can help with some step by step to a process that works?

    Adobe ID CS5.5, EPSON Stylus Photo 1400, Mac Lion 10.7.5

    Only, I can't understand how this could be so difficult and little intuitive. Any idea would be freaking wonderul.

    Wow! Sudden incidental finding on this incredibly frustrating issue.

    I had found information that the EPSON 1400 should be able to print 44 "long output by default. I was looking specifically for one to find people who had printed large and panoramic images and came across a photography website of the United Kingdom where a person mentioned that he had written a software that would allow this printer print beyond 44 ". That sounded a lot.

    BUT, the last post on the thread of a guy says how he was able to print up to 44 '' for an EPSON 1400 with ease. The solution, said, was that the WIDTH of the print in the page layout area must be LOWER at 13 ". Why? No explanation.

    So I reset my size custom at 12.5x21 inches and BAM! First attempt to InDesign printed successfully. I can work with the margin.

    Anyway, in the case that everyone runs into this problem, it works. Here is a link to the post of 2009 that mentions this as info about printing more than 44 ".

    This one is solved.

  • Problem with .png with transperencies export InDesign PDF files

    We did a layout-design, with transparent png. In the past, when we have exported this indesign doc as PDF X 3-2003 we never had problems with it (using earlier versions of Indesign).

    Unfortunately with the latest version of Indesign, we have ugly boxes in our last print issue, which give as if 100% Transp. would decline about 90%.

    Also, the large print service company has not any expaination for this. We use the latest series of CC portfolio.

    It has not tried .tiff files with alpha channels yet, since our production pipeline is based on png files, and it worked.

    If anyone has a similar problem, I'd be interested to hear:

    I think that it is connected to this http://indesignsecrets.com/eliminating-ydb-yucky-discolored-box-syndrome.php

    Similarly, if you work with PNGS in InDesign for printing, you should use PSD files as PNG does not support color management, only the alpha transparency, this is only a selection of transparency, which can support PDF.

    In InDesign, you should in aspects of quality import PDFS, I, PSD and avoid EPS.

  • Transparent PNGs have dark silhouette

    Hello

    Whenever I use a png with transparency in my documents, they appear in the gross contours on the edges.

    It seems the places where the pixels are not 100% transparent not be shown correctly.

    I tried switching 'Fusion of transparent space', and that doesn't help; If the CYMK parameter makes this more obvious problem.

  • I need to convert hundreds of files PDF TRANSPARENT PNG or TIFF

    I need to convert hundreds of files PDF TRANSPARENT PNG or TIFF.

    This is not possible with Acrobat. It is possible to convert hundreds of files PDF into PNG or TIFF using batch processing. But transparency is LOST!

    Photoshop is the software that I know of who is able to keep transparency in the conversion of PDF to PNG.

    But now I have problems to get the batch running.

    I made an Action with "Open a file", "Save as PSD" and "export of PNG.

    By using this Action in source batch-process-files as a folder with several PDF files and target as a different folder results in multiple PDFs open in Photoshop. Nothing else :-(.

    Any ideas?

  • Where can I find better, more correct instructions to solve printing problems by editing prefs.js?

    Instructions of "resolve printing problems | Firefox Help, line 6. Delete all the lines in prefs.js that begin with print_ and save the file. "do not match what is actually in my prefs.js file.

    In other words, he didn't y not the lines * beginning * with "print" or "print_". However, the string of five characters 'print' is * very * many times buried deep in a line of characters, but never at the beginning of a line and rarely followed by underscore. So I have no idea what I'm actually planned to do to solve my problem.

    It seems to me that this is just a badly phrased statement that might be more appropriate for someone who is familiar with the codification and development of software, which I'm not. I don't have the time, experience or knowledge to understand. I need more literal/explicit/specific instructions.

    The printing problem I have is that I have to print via WiFi to a printer in another room wired to another computer, and Firefox seems to switch or possibly reverse scales fonts for information of margin and the text of the Web page. In other words, the title of the document, date, time, prints etc very wide and the content of the page text prints almost too small to read.

    If there is a lot of user set prefs involved that need to be reset, then it's much easier to delete related lines of the prefs.js is each of them with the button straight on the topic: config page and click Reset.
    This is the main reason (single) to edit the prefs.js file.

  • From updateing to 8.1 WIndows printer problems

    Until I updated to Windows 8.1 other months everything was going well on my new laptop, then I went to something of my HP Photosmart B109n scan and it did not work because the pilot was now missing and the application that replace the HP printer driver HP is useless.

    On the advice of the HP site, I tried to download the new driver, but it wouldn't go, he said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just reboots the computer, but is still there afterwards. It turns out the uninstall has disappeared from the current and installation does not appear in the installer I downloaded.

    As a last resort, I used the system restore but has not only the printer has not changed but now some pre-loaded apps will not work and ask to renew the license of developers.

    I'm a lost what to do next - please help!

    Your laptop is not known to me, but in the case of update 8.1 Win, you should check this update from Toshiba to win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/

    There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your laptop and how to perform the Update step by step for Windows 8.1
    Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after installation of update 8.1 to win!

    Regarding your printer problem:
    Each manufacturer of the printer contains own drivers for the Windows System.
    We don't know me if HP released Win 8.1 compatible drivers for the printer Photosmart B109n clean, but to be honest, this problem is not related to the Toshiba laptop. If you have problems using HP printer under 8.1 to win, you should visit the support page of the printer manufacturer for troubleshooting tips and workaround solutions.

    Hi @dmanyeah,

    Thank you for reaching out to the forums! I understand that you encounter printing problems in Word, the full image is not printing. Thanks for providing the screenshots. I'd love to help you.

    Try to print a picture from another application to see if you have the same problem.

    To exclude the driver, install a generic driver to see if you have the same results.

    • On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties.
    • Click the Advanced tab and click new driver, and then click Next.
    • HP Deskjet 9800 by selecting in the list or the Deskjet 990c printer, click Next, Finish, and apply the settings. (you can always go back and revert to the original printer driver)

  • C6180A: Network printing problem series C6100

    Hello

    I pray that someone here can help with my network C6180A impression of questions, as I am at a loss to know what to do. I'm technical enough for a layman (not irritable) so able to fix my printer problems, I had to do several times in recent months. However, I am now in a complete deadlock as to what to do next.

    Implemented - laptop HP Pavilion (less than 1 year running Windows 8.1 64bits) connected by wired home network using Netgear HomePlugs, on which my C6180A All in One Photosmart printer is also connected by a Homeplug Netgear network around my house for others to use. The network software Netgear genius picks up the printer and it shows on the fine network. I can also access the IP address of the printer through my thin Firefox browser.

    Printer C6180A is (I think) about 8 years ago and has been well used with over 44 K printed pages! It worked well overall until recently. Minor problems have been solved in the past, which I was able to do very well.

    Until recently, the printer worked very well, so a few weeks ago (nothing has changed on it, or my laptop), it just started to stop printing and also started to enter spurious characters (always number 7) on the LED panel without doing me anything, as if someone was going to put in a fax number. It would show a string of 7 like this: '7777777777777777777' as a fax number alone.  Yet I did not or use the fax on it more. It's where I wondered about capacitors, as I mention below...

    However...

    It will not print many pages at once of all today - even if I get it print OK. It does not go offline (it used to do this), just print job gets stuck in the queue and must be deleted using HP Print & Scan doctor. Nothing else removes the queue now. And no other problems are reported with this utility. If they are, then I have Setup or the utility corrects.

    I did the following to get it fixed so far (with little success ongong):

    -updated and install printer via the HP website drivers (most recent is dated December 6, 2015)

    -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software several times = sometimes a test page impressions, not always

    -restart the laptop and printer each time I do this to clear no matter what cache

    -Remove and add the device in Control Panel = got a few pages printed today this and nothing else then prints

    -check the IP address of the printer to make sure that his recognized on the network = all fine here (IP address added manually in the settings of the network on the printer a few months ago), although I can't make it here anymore as the "ok button" on the printer does not work now (minor in question not related to this in my opinion)

    -did a hard reset of the printer using the # and 6 to do this = it worked for a few pages then orders

    -printer is always / recognized by any software, driver or utility HP PSD when turned on to be detected to install

    -printer works fine when connected directly via a USB cable, but which is not what I want to do on a daily basis

    -have contacted Netgear in the recent past to make sure that my HomePlugs on my network worked very well, they were. If not, then the printer would not be detected by any software installation or fixing with HP PSD

    My last resort will be to check if the capacitors are down, I saw in other forums that this is a common problem after a while on these printers. Before making this "repair" I bought the capacitors, I wanted to check if there is anything else I missed that I can do to finally once and for all this problem of printing.

    Help on this would be so MUCH appreciated by any expert here, because I lost so much time, days in fact, try to resolve this issue as you can only imagine. I have to be able to print for my business. It is not an option to replace the printer currently.

    It worked fine until the last 3-4 weeks or more... Where my question detailed with what I did to fix it until now.

    Thanks in advance. ANIA

    Hello @AZS1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with your C6180A. I would like to help.

    To be honest, you did some troubleshooting. To say that you are quite technical for a layman seems to be an understatement.

    I provided you with a link to solve network problems. If the problem persists then you might as well go ahead with the repair. The only other option would be to have fix the printer.
