Shadows look too solid printing

Designer newbie here with a question of drop shadow.  I'm working on a project using the photos with a white line vintage style squares and a drop shadow.  It looks great on the screen but I come back just one page of the printer and the shadows are much too solid-looking on the paper.  Almost looks grey boxes around the photo.

This is a personal project and whenever I print, I have to go to the FedEx Office to pick it up, so I don't want to just play.  I hope you can help me.  How to look more subtle?  I tried to lower the opacity and they looked like just more light gray boxes around the photo.

I use Adobe InDesign CS 6Here are the settings that I use:

Thank you!

Here, Office of FedEx uses a few different brands of digital printers. And they have two ways to print, their own software and Acrobat. I never had great prints of their PPP software. Since Acrobat I, however. So I simply ask they do (and most of the time they do it anyway).

I create files using the preset PDF/X-4 most of the time. Otherwise, I simply use the highest compatibility PDF version (if if the software I use PDF/X-4 or not in operation). My shadows come out as good as their different printers can print.

Rob is correct. RGB is better for their printers if you are careful to stay in the range. Because this sort of thing I meant to printing at FedEx is not high-calibre (Hey, their practice, the only thing in their favor), I don't take the time to create RGB. They are circular quickie, flyers and other. Something of importance, I send to the local printer I used for eons.

  • Looking for a printer

    Hello everyone,

    I'm looking for a printer that suite me for about a week now and still have not decided what to buy. I am inclined to it right now

    I print around 10-50 pages per month and I decided to get an all-in-one printer with a USB 2.0 support.

    I'm not interested in Wifi or network printer as I have a pogo plug in unit.

    I don't mean for print speeds high I print very less.

    When I looked at the HP inkjet printers, means advised pages to print is 400 pages per month, which is much more than what I will use eventually.

    My friends tell me, inkjet printer when it is insufficiently used to frequent replacement of the cartridge and that I should go for Laser alternatives. With my needs as a kid, I don't feel comfortable for a costly option.

    Is there a printer that will suit me?

    I have very little knowledge about printers and would appreciate any help

    Thanks in advance,
    Marie Charlotte

    Hello-

    Officejet printers would work very well in a situation like this. They will perform auto maintenance that keeps the head of printing and cartridges in good health. As long as you turn off the printer correctly (with power button / stop) they joined the cartridges in the "Service station".

    I would recommend an Officejet 6700:

  • Aspire One D255E don't look for a printer connected to the USB port

    My D255E an Aspire don't look for a printer connected to the USB port.  I've never used a printer on this computer before.  Windows 7 Starter will support a printer?

    It should be.  Try these steps and results reports:

    When you turn on and connect the printer via USB, shows tasks for animation in the system tray at the right end of the bar, click it and monitor driver installation.  If the pilot goes then printer must print and perhaps scanning of base via the Windows fax and scanning utility.  To find such a piece of utility type its name in the search box.

    If the driver does not load type of devices and printers in the box to start the search, open it, check if printer is already displayed, right-click on it to open the properties, and try to print a Test page. If it does not print right click on printer again to solve problems.

    If the printer is not listed visit Support downloads of the printer Web page to download and install the base driver.  If a wireless printer, you will need the complete package to do it fully implemented.  If you want to be able to scan from the top of the printer to the PC, then you also need the full package.  Keep track of the configuration screens when you install the software.

    If you still have problems after return the exact error with photos if possible.

  • Once again: too dark prints after the CS3 to CS5 upgrade

    Hi, I know this has been discussed before, but I have not found a solution to my problem in the existing threads. Probably missing me something obvious, and perhaps someone here can point out he me.

    I recently updated from CS3 to CS5. In the two editions of photoshop I followed the recipe of Eric Chan to set up the print workflow: http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/printworkflow.html. In CS3, everything works as expected, i.e. Printing corresponds to the test. Print the image even from the same computer/monitor in CS5 product which is much darker than the softproof printing or printing from CS3.

    In case this is relevant, my psd files are all in Adobe RGB 1998, I use the print Epson provided (v5.51) for the Stylus 3800 diver. I use the icc profile for Epson exhibition fiber paper, which is what I print on. The conversion method is Relative calorimetric with verified Blackpoint Compensation. Photoshop runs on a Windows XP SP3 32-bit computer.

    Any suggestions? Are there settings that are not mentioned in the description of Eric Chan I should look to find the source of the difference? Is there anything that could explain the different random draws?

    Thank you!

    Martin

    > I printed the wacked out of CS3 and CS5 image. In CS3, everything looks good, i.e. the test corresponds to printing. In CS5 the test seems identical to CS3, but printing is dark.

    This is useful information, a kind of conversion took place or the footprints would be blue

    immediately I notice you're using different printer profiles in photoshop CS3 and CS5 print dialog (the text in your screenshot is too blurred to read)

    I have no way of knowing if you have used the same profile in Proofing

    But if photoshop softproof does not match the impression that something is happening, the question is: what?

  • I am looking for a solution Server (with Te css) for the fact that Firefox uses the system DPI settings, which makes my site look (too) big.

    My site appears much too big in firefox. And I want all browsers to view my site properly.
    I know that there are settings wihtin firefox that fix this problem. But I'm looking for a solution on server side, so that visitors to my site must not be disturbed by changing their settings.

    You may need to change your site as soon as 30 Chrome and IE 11 will also use the system DPI setting (like Firefox does now).

    Possible solution:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

  • Advantage 2545: Too noisy printer

    Is anyone experiencing the same thing with all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545. The printer works fine, but it has an annoying problem. It is curious when you're printing. It's really disturbing. Is it possible to make it less noisy?

    I am a writer and blogger at booboone.com . I like and use of HP products in my office.

    Hi @Delarno

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that your 2545 seems to be stronger, then it should be.

    Spec wise, it is not that strong. Although all the ears and reviews of the sound intensity is different.

    (Viewer position) of acoustic pressure: LpAm 50 (dBA) (mono project printing)
    Sound power: 6.3 b (a)

    Source: Plug printer for HP Deskjet 2540, 2545 printers

    I do not have the printer, but if it is strong, it would be interesting to talk to a hotline. This link will create a case. www.HP.com/contacthp/

    It also brings a squeak?

    Is this a new issue or the printer since always noisy?

    So new, this is an event where he started to be noisy?

    Look for any obstruction or broken in the transport path part.

    Make sure that the carriage moves freely.

    Remove and reinsert the cartridges to ensure that they are properly installed in the device.

    Perform a hard reset. (while the printer is on, unplug the power cord for 30 seconds and then reconnect the power supply)

  • LaserJet 600 m602: Laserjet 600 too large print the number of copies

    I work at the public library, and we have a Laserjet 600 m602 to our public access computers to use. It is a network printer. We have problem with printer what impression of the office 2010 products, if more than one copy is requested printer will go crazy and print several copies much more than requested. The printer screen will say 1 X print the number of copies. Only way to stop it is to remove as many jobs he sees. It acts as if it were several jobs. We do not see this problem when printing from the Internet. Driver HP laserjet 600 M601, M602 M603 PCL6 HPCM600c. processor is set to WinPrint - Raw. Bidirectional support is disabled.

    Firmware is 2305090_000468

    I had already installed the pilot PCL6 universal and implemented to date to 600 M601, M602 M603 PCL6 thought that could be the problem but it has not fixed the problem.

    I would appreciate any help on this matter before going to is broken on paper.

    Thank you

    Solved.

    After a lot of research on reading and tests finally discovered the problem with drivers print and collate. Default settings for Microsoft Office 2010 and Adobe Reader are to gather if one that one copy is activated. For some reason any that caused printer to go crazy.  I tried the Standard driver and universal for the printer, but always had the problem of printing too many copies. I used the PostScript driver and it solved the problem.  Now just get the number of copies required. Thank you for your help.

    1. open an Internet Explorer browser, go to the far right click on the gear icon

    2. Select Print Preview

    3. now along the top, you will see an option to change the size of the page, please make sure that it is set to adjust or 100%.

  • Too small printer text

    When I print my Word document to the printer, the text is too small to read. I installed the new drivers updated, run the troubleshooting diagnostic utility (which tells me that everything is fine), I followed all the steps to install and reinstall the printer and driver. I read all the text too small forum, but nobody has my same problem. What should I do now? I'm pulling my hair out. Thank you very much in tips for any advice. My printer is a HP Deskjet J4580 All in one. My OS is Windows 7.

    Problem solved when someone says go into Word and change to 100% print preview mode. Simple but effective. It worked. Thank you all for help.

  • Too many printing pages

    I need help, I have a laptop which uses Vista and I print to multiple printers using this laptop. Recently, I looked at problems with a printer (HP Laser Jet 1012 - which I use as a default printer), when I print something it keeps printing the same thing over and over until I kill the power to the printer or cancel the job. This problem started recently (about 7 days ago) and I had no problem with this printer for over a year.

    Help of supplications,

    Bill

    Are you sure that you have configured it to print only one copy - sometimes that can be overlooked.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  See if the problem persists.

    If so, try to uninstall and reinstall the printer and any software provided with (including printer, software drivers and firmware if applicable - you can check the HP site to see if they have updated versions for your printer and the version of Vista and use instead of what you already have on the system).

    If none of these suggestions doesn't help, I suggest that repost you this question in hardware and drivers Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/threads where people who specialize in hardware problems will be more than happy to help you with your problem.

    I hope this helps.
