Pro-100: some colors do not match monitor; some do it

New to the forum but have reviewed all issues that I can see for 2014 and do not see an answer. I use Photoshop Lightroom and CS6 and the Pro-100 printer. The monitor is a NEC P221W, calibrated using SpectraSensor Pro. Printing with ink Canon CLI-42 on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II. I installed the latest XPS printer driver and am sure that I am using the printer with the correct driver. Here's the problem: I can not bright blue and green print with the same level of intensity that I see on the screen. As a test, I printed a few more pictures which consist mainly of portraits and the overall color and skin tones are superb. Only my quick effort to print a picture composed of green leaves and blue flowers with the saturated color flowers popping paper doesn't seem to work.

You are going to need more to saturate the colors you want to surpass the rest of the colors in the photo.

Over the years, I discovered a few things that seem imposswible whrn impression.  This was true in my darkroom, but also digital printing.

One, it is impossible to get all the colors to match to a monitor.  You can get several to match but not all of them.

Two, the most important adjustments to your monitor's gray, contrast and brightness.

Three, Canon professional photo printers have a tendacy to bias reddish (warm tones).  It is built in.  This will make more saturated Greens harder.

Remember you looking at and comparing the light on a screen ink pigmented on paper.

  • Hexidicimals of color does not match

    I created a gradient in Firefox, it has exported to Dreamweaver and now have on my model. I typed in a value of default background color to match the shade of final, the darker the gradient to give me this smooth transition expected to one of the pages of the site run long. When I test the model on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera, the page looks great. But I'm afraid that the background color of image (IE, the imported range) and my default background color do not match in Dreamweaver Split or design mode. In Dreamwever, it is clear where the image into slices ends and starts the background color.

    Put some numbers on it: in Firefox, I started the gradient with #CC9933, then set the filter of brightness/contrast (brightness - contrast - 8, 81). This gives me the image I want, with #80510F as the darkest shadow at the bottom of the slope. But when I type in my head of Dreamweaver as my background color, shadow is * much * more light (in Split and Design mode, it is. Not when I saw with a browser).

    To add to my confusion, I checked the background and the gradient in Dreamweaver with a color picker. The picker Dreamweaver reads down the slope as #81510F (not of #80510F, like Firefox, read it) and the background as #8F651C (even if the header contains always #80510F). When I typed in the number of the color appropriate and clicked on apply, I got this message: "Auto does not part of standard for this CSS property values." Use anyway? »

    Putting aside the divergence of #80510F #81510F vs, I fear that the transition between the color and gradient background will not work on other computers or browsers. It was my understanding that the 'web safe' colours were a thing of the past. I had read in some books that any color is good on any browser and any modern computer. But now I wonder. Dreamweaver says that the color I want my default background not a color safe?

    Maybe I make a lot of noise for nothing. As I said, the model looks a lot when I saw it. But that's just watch with my Mac on some browsers. How will a PC, or the Internet Explorer browser, make my pages? I'm not so worried if this isn't exactly the same color. I don't want a gradient that don't happen smoothly in the background color.

    And when Dreamweaver says that code hexadecimal color "is not one of the standard values...". Use anyway? ', I say "Yes '?"

    Yes.  Security Web (256) colors are obsolete.  Full-color (true-bit) spectrum are supported by almost all modern web devices.

  • [help] image color does not match

    Hello, when I place an image in a new document colors does not correspond with the original.

    For example I save as tiff from photoshop an intense Black (70% 50% 30% 100%) when I place it in illustrator I get (86.01% 78.95% 100% 84,97).

    The color profile are synchronized and I use Europe General Purpose 2 (CMYK Coated FOGRA27 ISO12647-2: 2004)

    Yes this is normal. The pipette Maj measure the preview screen, not the exact CMYK values you are looking for. Your photoshop image will split into 70 50 30 100.

    If you for example choose window > show transparency grid. Then pipette shift around on the page, you would get to sample the checkerboard of color (grey and white in my example below).

    Displacement pipette is quick and easy so many people are deceived by using to try to get the color matches. You can use the pipette for print jobs, but stay away from pipette of SHIFT, when you need to match the exact color for print jobs.

  • PrintShop Pantone color does not match me?

    Hi all

    I sent a file in a silkscreen who returned to me a model of how it will look on the bag.

    Problem is that blue that they show is not all blue, I sent.

    the logo uses a 298 PMS and that they have listed in their PMS 298 layout as well.

    I eliminated the possibility that our monitors appear radically different and another that I can't explain the radical difference between the colors.

    Someone at - it never run into this kind of problem?

    It's pretty common.  The only way you will be able to see a model is when they go on the press.  Most screen printers use plastisol inks and they custom mix to be closer to the PMS 298; but there is no Plastisol Pantone 298 as offset printers can order for a color of the task.  So, you have to either have make them the screen and print a sample using the mixture of Plastisol (generally a medium blue and white mix) and they send it FedEx or you agree with anything, they sent to you.  But, if you do the latter, they will not match the 298.  You should certainly hold an approval of the press of the day as they inked work.  At a minimum, you can have them send you a flat sample real stock (minimum 3) of their actual ink mixture that is put in the dryer.  Then you can decide which combination is the closest to your 298.  This really has nothing to do with CMYK or what type of JPG, they sent you.  It goes much further in terms of accuracy and get your money.  If the display store mixer ink hotshot, you have nothing to fear.  But, without a doubt get their hands on them and see what they can deliver based on a sample of real ink.  Plastisol has a few Blues choice and maybe have a standard blue that comes close to 298.  Another question to ask.

  • The photo in format Acrobat colors do not match Indesign or Photoshop

    Hi all

    I really hope you can help me understand this. I created a photo album printed by Blurb using ID and I can't get the images to display the correct colors. Here's my workflow

    1. export from lightroom as sRGB raw photo (I'm now aware TIF is a better format [lossless], but is not the cause of my problem of color)

    2 convert pictures in CMYK using photoshop to apply the blurb's icc profile

    3 put the photos in ID using bridge (ID confirms that the photo files are CMYK and the embedded profile blurb; setting of color for ID, PS, bridge and Acrobat are synchronized on the blurb's icc profile)

    4. export PDF using "high quality print" preset
    5. open the PDF file in Acrobat (output preview confirms that photos have the correctly applied blurb's icc profile, yet colors tdo not come close to matching the ID or PS)

    If I open the PDF file in Photoshop, the colors are perfect, but in Acrobat, the colors are tarnish and faded. So what I do with Acrobat who do not have the colors appear correctly?

    I have attached a screencap to demonstrate. Low to the right is the original document of the ID, in which law is the PDF seen in PS, above which is the PDF in Acrobat, and to the left of that is seen in preview PDF.Screen%20Shot%202014-04-20%20at%208.12.12%20PM%20%282%29.png

    Thank you. I think it's safe to say that it is the problem addressed in 244 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1059137?start=240&tstart=0positions. You should definitely update to the last 11.x because she doesn't have a few improvements.

  • Colors do not match from Lightroom (checked ICC, cab version and color settings)

    Greetings,

    I have a picture of the water in the rocks in Lightroom CC 2015. Do you have all my settings and it looks the way I want it. He sent to Photoshop CC 2015 and I get this strange halo neon-aqua in the water.

    The image has a DNG from a Panorama in Lightroom, so I tried the following:

    1. check that the treatment of color Aqua/Blue in Lightroom. Restore all files source panorama 0 and rebuilt. Same question.

    2. export file looking for good Lightroom as TIFF, then open it directly from Lightroom. Same question.

    3. open the TIFF file in other applications (e.g., Pixelmator, Raw Therapee). Image looks exactly as it does in Lightroom, so question should be in Photoshop.

    4. change the settings in the color settings in Photoshop. Tried of perceptual and Relative. Have all the options under "Color management policies" as "Preserve" and all options are checked. All combinations led to the same question.

    5 enabled setting in Camera Raw by bridge and resynched setting for the CC apps. Same question.

    6a changed to write the settings Lightroom develop in format JPG, TIFF, PSD files (I always checked even when XMP). Same question.

    7. calibrate the monitor with X - Rite ColorMunki Photo. Same question.

    8 calibrate the monitor with a gain of X-Rite ColorMunki Photo, but this time with the ICC v2 profile. Same question.

    9. turned on GPU (MacBook Pro retina end 2013). Same question.

    10. tried to re-assiging and profile ProPhoto RGB conversion. Same question.

    11. I usually export to Photoshop as 16 bit, ZIP, 300 dpi, ProPhoto RGB TIFF. Tried to export to Photoshop as PSD. Same question.

    12 tried exporting as sRGB and AdobeRGB. Who worked in the sense that the halos of aqua has disappeared, but the image is duller than in Lightroom (although a so slightly).

    In view of the fact that the image is displayed as expected in all applications, but Photoshop (well, Illustrator as well, but it converts the subtle colors of the water in 8-bit, so I'm not sure that the problem is the same), I suspect I'm missing something in Photoshop. In addition, it seems to only affect how Photoshop interprets the images with ProPhoto RGB profiles. I don't remember having this problem with previous versions.

    All the foregoing is CC versions and is up to date. ACR is 9.2.

    Steps 1 through 9 were the ideas that I found elsewhere in the forums, but I'm out of ideas.

    A reflection as to how I can continue to use ProPhoto RGB, given that my entire workflow is based on that?

    Thank you very much

    Paul

    Screenshots would help, but from what you describe this must be your monitor profile. A problem with the profile itself, or an application is not loading the correct profile.

    It does not matter what color space you export from Lightroom. These applications are the two color managed and will display the file correctly regardless of the color space. They must be synchronized (the exception is the threshold effect that can happen from Adobe RGB to sRGB, but you won't see that on a range wide-screen.) Any cutting of ProPhoto was moot because you don't see, in any case, on any monitor).

    So when you say you see a difference between a file exported as ProPhoto and exported as Adobe RGB or sRGB, it's a smoking gun. Something wrong here, and the main suspect is still the monitor profile.

    The two find themselves in the same monitor profile, but the source profiles are different. In Lightroom, it is linear (gamma 1.0) ProPhoto, in Photoshop gamma 1.8 ProPhoto, Adobe RGB or sRGB. Conversions are so different. This is why a bad profile may appear differently in different scenarios.

    Basic troubleshooting is to replace the monitor with a known good profile. That would be the sRGB or Adobe RGB, depending on whether your monitor is a standard or wide range. Then see if there is still a difference. Be sure to restart both applications when done - they load the profile screen on startup.

  • Brower and Muse colors do not match.

    Is there a way to get the colors to match the Muse and in the browser?

    Example: When I choose a certain color for the bar menu or text, and then preview the page in a browser and compare the page Muse at the browser page, the colors are different.

    If all goes well, there is a solution to this.

    Let me know, thanks!

    David

    Hi David,

    The only real solution is to use the web-safe colors. If you use a custom color, it may appear differently as different browsers make the color differently. Another factor in color is the monitor settings. Opportunities others have their monitors set exactly the same and in the same room, the lighting is thin. So contrary to the impression, for the web you shoot 'close' as you will probably not always upward.

    The colors of web security you will get best results with regard to consistency.

    Hope that helps.

  • LaserJet Pro 200 M276NW color does not print more than once; application freezes

    Hello.  I had a problem with Laserjet Pro 200 color M276NW my family when printing from my desktop Windows 7 (64 bit) for quite awhile.  The first time I print a document after starting my computer, it prints the entire document very well.  However, the print jobs will simply freeze the program that sent them (for example Outlook, Opera, etc.) on a screen ' print the page of.  Also, I can't print a test page in Windows when the first task is completed.  I finally realized that it probably has something to do with the spooler service in Windows, or in the print queue.  When I look in the queue after printing the first document, it shows that the paper in it, but the new job that froze my app does not appear.  After I restarted my computer, I can print a document more before I have to restart again.

    The printer is networked on our home network; It is not connected to any computer via USB, and in my opinion, is the connection to the ethernet router.  My computer is connected to our network via a wireless connection.  I tried to restart the spooler, enter the IP address of the printer in my web browser (which works fine and shows the right page), and everything else listed in the Help article.  Try to open the printer properties in devices and printers does nothing.

    To complicate, the printer won't even print the first work since I got on my computer and I tried this today.  Also, I got exactly the same problem on my laptop, which also used Windows 7 and connected to our home network wireless. The laptop now has Linux on it instead. I tested several printing on it earlier and they print very well.

    My father, who has a wired connection to the router, told me that it is able to print more than one job very well.  I just had my brother (who also has a wired connection) print two different documents, and it has worked very well.  This leads me to believe that there is somehow something to do with the Wi - Fi computer assigned to the router, in combination with Windows 7, apparently.

    Moon Raker, starting with the sounds like it is a driver problem. I want to start to be sure that deleting the software and relocation happened in the best way possible. I want you to follow my steps, I can be sure that we start both on the same page.
  • same color does not match through documents

    I have a document set up for cmyk preview and proof of working CMYK installation us web coated (swop) v2.  In this paper, I use a pantone reflex blue c coated solid.  If I copy the object with the color to a new document, the color changes drastically even if this is the same reflex blue.  Note that in the image below, the blue is much richer.  I've had three other people with illustrator/printing background look at this and we compared to each parameter, we can think but can't understand why he did this.  Someone has an idea?  We need to match the Blue right on the image below, but for the life that we cannot.  It always comes out somewhere between the two shown blues.  Thank you.

    Why your color mode is set to "CMYK" and not "book color"?

    Drag the reflex blue shade in the Pantone palette to the Swatches palette, and then choose merge colors.

    If never change you a color which is perfectly fine to get evidence of color on a system to test color of Paris, still give it a name of differentt (for example: PANTONE Reflex Blue C (cmyk))

  • Export colors do not match file HAVE

    I hired a company logo design to make a logo, and they did a great job.  They provided glimpses TIVE of their work at every stage of the review, but when I arrived the last file HAVE all dark blue coloring was a blue light.  All other file types that they exported (PNG, JPG, PSD, etc) had dark blue colors, but the SVG vector files both HAVE differed.  I opened the vectors in Illustrator and Inkscape to check.

    The problem is they say it is no way the file HAVE is different, and I don't know enough about Illustrator to see if they have some kind of plugin change or strange color of color palette.  They want the money to 'fix' the file, but I'm afraid that their dose will not get better because looks that they cannot even see what is happening with their computers.  I tried two installs own on two different computers to verify that I am not crazy =).

    Any suggestions?

    Your color calibration is different / you use none. Previews have been standardized in sRGB, the vector files contains the original color profile. Or they did something wrong at their end by not calibrated first job...

  • TSL color does not match HEX, I entered when changing the color of the object.

    Hello world


    I change the color of an image. When I type in the HSL numbers (which correspond to the HEXAGON), it's a completely strange color.  I know colors can look different on the screens, but these colors don't look like even those I need. What I am doing wrong?

    -Color I wanted to achieve: HEX #9E223F

    -The converter was told to use: HSL 346, 65: 38

    -The color looks pink rather than the shade of plum, I needed

    -I work in RGB mode because that those are the specs given to me to print.

    This is nothing like as I wanted it. What I've done wrong? I don't know how to fix or get a more desired result. I have need to change article 'pink' in a plum color.

    Thanks for the help everyone!

  • I have two docs Illustrator by using the same user-defined palette, but the colors do not match.

    I have similar graphs using 80% of the same color (CMYK) spot such as defined in a saved palette, but it is noticeable darker than the other.

    You have discovered a very powerful feature of Illustrator. You can assign attributes to the level of the group. Alternatively, you can assign attributes to the layer, character and type. Look at your appearance to confirm palette that you assign the assignment.

    For example, if you had a rectangle file with a transparency of 50% of a spot color, and then pull it together you and affect 50% of group, your end color transparent would be 50% of the spot color.

    Hi forum! I am a new owner of a Pro-100. I have a Pro - 9500 Mark II.

    I have a symptom of having a kind of dominant to my dark values on several tests of purple color printing. I printed with photoshop and everything just app photo apple - same result.

    My blues are supposed to be blue electric/royal, but I'm close to the Navy. Violet is also in shades clear, but not as obvious.

    My nozzel checks look good, I did a cleanup, tried a few different profiles...

    All advice appreciated. The image below is an idea of what I see. I'm not in a piece of color balanced to take a picture of my impression with the monitor. Thank you!

    Fixed! I got on the Horn with support canon technique. Mary told me download Print Studio Pro. We made some adjustments and I now have a good impression. the result is great, but the process seems like a band-aid to put on/in photoshop. I wonder if the question is more photoshop, or even more with the software of the printer... But, Cannon was very helpful, the whole process takes about 30 minutes.
