Text of RGB in PCL5

• PCL5 sample code to print a single text in RGB color

  
  

  For some unknown reason (yet), this file does not print as expected on my LaserJet Pro MFP color 400 M475dnlocal: only lines printed (all in black!) are those whose odd color index.

  Update: I still don't know why the original file (creating a palette of 8 colors) does not work with my printer; It seems OK if I watch with a PCL Viewer commercial DBMS.

  All I can suggest is what explains the symptoms is that the sequence of CID (for some unknown reason) regarded as valid by the printer and is therefore ignored, so the printer returns to the (default) black and white palette, where even the indices of color whitecard and clues odd Blackcard.

  The joint amended file (Colour_CID_02.prn, also disguised with extension extra .txt ) fact print OK for this printer.

  The only difference between this file and the previous is that, within the parameters of Configuration of the Image data , the value index of Bits by is set to 8 (indicating a pallet size of 256), whereas in the original file, the value is 3 (indicating a palette size 8).

  An analysis of the new file is also attached.

• Does not export the text in black

  I use InDesign CS 3 and you have created a PDF file for a self published book which has the art of the color and the text. They require RGB files, so nothing is in CMYK mode.

  I received the proof of the sample and it is great except that the text is not a pure black: he has shades of light color from one page to another (reddish black, greenish black, bluish black).

  Is there a setting in preferences in InDesign, or maybe in the settings for exporting the file in PDF format that can remedy this? I had the preference of the "appearance of Black" value "output all blacks as Rich Black. Change to "Output all blacks accurately" fix it?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

  Zina,

  I read your first posting and responses of others and yourself.

  (1) he would have no sense which 'they' (I guess that your printer or Publisher) requires RGB files. There is nothing about digital printing via PostScript or PDF which requires RGB or CMYK files. Reliable PDF print publishing process would dictate that you let your images in their original RGB color spaces with their profiles. The RIP process should automatically convert these images to CMYK using your RGB source profiles and printer CMYK destination profile. On the other hand, black text should never repeat never, be done in RGB, unless you try to achieve some special effects such as the so-called intense Black, generally 100 %K with some other color components. Rich black would generally not done for text other than for big screen type. Even sointense Black would be generally specified in CMYK mode to achieve some expected exact effect. So, either specify typical black text in RGB (255,255,255 generally) or output text components and images as a file PDF RGB is far from safe. A PDF file preserving the original colors is what you want and need.

  (2) the question of InDesign for Appearance of Black preference affects only the display on the screen and real non- peripheral PostScript printing. It has no effect whatsoever for printing to PostScript or PDF export devices.

  (3) you will need to have a good discussion with CSR your printer (customer service) or their expert pre-press as to what they do in their workflow. If you have them sent a PDF file with CMYK black text (i.e., 0,0,0,100%) and with the RGB RGB images with profles, you shouldn't be seeing the results that you did in the so-called evidence they sent you.

  Proceed with caution, or you may find yourself with a costly mistake. Something is not quite right with what the printer ask to you or the printer does in its workflow with the PDF file, you provide.

• Color conversion script?

  I am looking for a way to print the CMYK, RGB, HEX easily, in the text, and possibly another representation of certain colors, I thought I'd write a quick script... easy, right? Apparently not.

  Although I have never used, it seems that Photoshop has the 'SolidColor' object, which has properties for 'cmyk', 'rgb', 'gray' etc... exactly what I need, except I want to do that in Illustrator. Illustrator has the "CMYKColor', 'RGBColor" etc. objects with, from what I can tell, no way to convert any other color mode.

  Then. am I missing something obvious? Or y at - it no way to easily get representations of different a color in artificial intelligence object color mode? I know that the conversion will be different according to the profiles of boards etc., but the UI color picker has the right values that already and, apparently, Photoshop can do it without problem so I'm hoping that I'm missing just something obvious!

  I tried to change the "TypeName" of the Color object, I've seen suggested, but it made no difference (the docs say it is read only).

  The only other options I can think is to create a new document in color mode I want to convert, to create a new color from the existing (which from reading the reference sounds like it will be auto-convertir it in this color mode) read the values of the new color and close the newly created document. But that seems to be a horrible workaround. Or, set up my own conversion function, which seems so horrible (since I thought it would be easy to write quick script!)

  Any input would be appreciated!

  Your code has been very useful Silly-V, convertSampleColor(), it was exactly what I was looking for! If you or anyone is interested, now is my script. Havn't tried a lot and it could probably be cleaned up a bit, but it should work (it does for me with CS6 on OS X).

  It takes all your selected samples and print the CMYK, RGB and HEX (and name if it is a spot color) all these samples selected in a txt file. The txt file is saved with the same name and in the same folder as your Illustrator file. If your Illustrator file is unregistered, it records the txt file in your home directory.

• Manual update of the implementation of the CSS.

  Hi everyody,.

  can someone explain to me how to change a class/id css rule at run time and to see the new style burial on?

  I associate set up an EventHandler to add the same style sheet file that is used to start the application, but no change and no error message results.

  SerializableAttribute public class TrackerClient extends Application {}

  @Override

  public void start (steps) riser Exception {}

  final String cssUrl = getClass().getResource("/tracker/view/fxmlgui.css").toExternalForm ();

  Mother-root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/tracker/view/fxmlGui.fxml"));

  scene = new Scene (root);

  scene.getStylesheets () .add (cssUrl);

  stage.setScene (scene);

  stage.addEventHandler (KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler < KeyEvent > () {}

  @Override

  {} public void handle (KeyEvent keyEvent)

  If (keyEvent.getCode () .equals (KeyCode.F5)) {}

  scene.getStylesheets () .add (cssUrl);

  System.out.println ("key!");

  }

  }

  }

  }

  I also tried to use:

  StyleManager.getInstance () .reloadStylesheets (scene);

  After I changed and saved the css manually class in the css document, but nothing happens in the scene!

  The event is triggered when I press the F5 key, but no change of style is planned on.

  So I ask if is it possible to change the style of nodes in the scene when running in the latest version of javafx 2?

  Thanks in advance!

• How to drag and drop nodes to tab between the components of the tab

  I'm working on this tutorial example ( feature drag - move in the JavaFX Applications |) JavaFX tutorials and Documentation 2 ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far, I have managed to create this code, but I need help to complete the code.

  Source

  tabPane = new TabPane();
  Tab tabA = new Tab();
     Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
  
  
  tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
          {
              @Override
              public void handle(MouseEvent event)
              {
                  /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                  System.out.println("onDragDetected");
  
                  /* allow any transfer mode */
                  Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
  
                  /* put a string on dragboard */
                  ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                  content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                  db.setContent(content);
  
                  event.consume();
              }
          });
  

  What is the correct way to insert the contents of the tab as an object? In the tutorial simple text is transferred. How do I change this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane); ?

  And what is the right way to insert the tab after that I drag the tab:

  Destination

  
  

  tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
          {
              @Override
              public void handle(DragEvent event)
              {
                  /* data dropped */
                  /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                  Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                  boolean success = false;
                  if (db.hasString())
                  {
                      //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                      Tab tabC = new Tab();
                      tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                      success = true;
                  }
                  /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                   * transferred and used */
                  event.setDropCompleted(success);
  
                  event.consume();
              }
          });
  

  
  

  
  I guess that this transfer is possible?

  REF javafx 2 - How to drag and drop nodes between the components of the tab - stack overflow tab

  I use a graphic (instead of text) for tabs and call setOnDragDetected on this chart. That way you know which tab is moved. There is no nice way to put the tab itself in the dragboard because it is not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you'll want to probably just store currently slipped into a property tab.

  Here's a quick example; It only add the tab at the end of the existing tabs in the pane has fallen. If you want to insert it in the location that is closest to the actual drop you probably browse the tabs and find details of chart of each tab, or something.

• PCL5 order or sample code to print colored text gray

  Hi all

  I have a requirement to print PCL5 gray text. I tried the command Escpcl * c #G (# % gray scale), with different values vaissaille 37%, but the text is still to come in black color.

  Below is the code I tried

  ESC* c37GEsc* v4TTest

  Could you please give an example of pcl code to print a Word, 'Test' for color grey.

  Thanks in advance

  Try printing the file attached to your printer PCL5.

  If you use the HP provided shades, they can be quite rude, if you use

  a small font. Refer to chapter 13 (I think), the printed model in reference PCL5.

  Print the joint and come back with questions.

• Why would I not mix RGB and text colors using Gamma 1.00?

  Forms and text are slicked visibly better with the parameters of fusion in the section controls advanced settings color defined as follows:

  

  For example, consider the appearance of the edges of this text and the circular shape layer in a clear with these settings vs sRGB document:

  Defined as above:

  

  Authorized:

  

  The difference is subtle, but important in my opinion, marking the difference between good quality and good quality.  You can see the difference in the partial shading pixels at the edges curved in this enlargement of a part of the foregoing:

  

  So my question is this:

  Is there a reason that I would not only set the values above and use them all the time?

  I fully understand the concepts of gamma and post-pixel (and I think it's awesome that Photoshop has this feature), but I ask this question here because there may be of the subtleties of how Photoshop uses these settings, I'm not aware of and in particular that they are NOT defined in this way by default with Photoshop CS6.

  -Christmas

  Mix with gamma 1.0 will be slower and may lose precision (quantification).

  Mix with gamma 1.0 will make existing documents, or documents from other users look different.

  Most users should not change the settings.

  Some users who work with third party software which only works in gamma 1.0 may need change settings, and some researchers may need to change the settings for their work.

  Mixture of text using gamma 1.0 will not look correct.

  Text anti-aliasing is still more an art than a science. (and this is why there is always a setting for her)

  The gamma setting for text in CS6 mixture will result in glyphs appearing on weight even when light on dark and dark on light and different positions compared to the pixel grid.  Gamma 2.2 made dark light too fat and light on dark too thin. Gamma 1.0 makes dark on clear too thin and light on the darkness too fat.  The two extremes are glyphs seems to change shape when it is positioned in different phases compared to the pixel grid.

  How to ensure that all text black is really black when the exported pdf file is sent to the printer?

  Ask the printer what intense Black set CMYK, they recommend that also leaves grayscale colored. This value will vary from printer and their press material. As you probably noticed, a brightness level 0% gray, an rgb (0, 0, 0), or a hex #000000 are black, but not as black as possible in CMYK mode.

  Pages is not an ideal application for creating press ready PDF documents.

• CP1525n: background color of text using PCL escape sequences

  Hi all

  I use the escape sequences PCL for printing the color of my text files.  I am able to print the plan text with color first.

  But now I want a background color for the different texts.

  Right now my code looks like this.

  < esc > E            Reset of the printer
  
  < esc > * r3U         Simple colour: Palette RGB 3-plane
  
  < esc > * v1S         foreground color (index = 1)
  
  Hello world

  Can someone help me with the escape sequence for the text background color. I use the simple color mode.

  Kind regards

  Hitesh

  A colored or shaded background (rather), you need to generate and set the background before writing the text.

  The background can be a raster-graphics image, or a filling of the rectangular areaor object HPGL/2, etc.

  Transparency of the Sourcesettings, transparency model and logical Operation (ROP) will affect how Source (what you are trying to add), Destination (which is already on the page) and Texture (combination of model and the current color ) are merged.

• w2216h via DVI - flicker, too much text, etc.

  Hello. I'm on a HP a6614f with screen w2216h.

  I have upgraded to a Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT from PNY video card and have been connecting the monitor and the card via VGA. Today I received my DVI-HDMI adapter (down a cheap eBay HK if it makes a difference) in the mail and tried out. The image was horrible! There are vertical lines everywhere. I could solve this problem by going to the Nvidia Control Panel and change the format digital color of RGB to YCbCr44. However, I always had other problems.

  The screen flickers a lot, sometimes to two or three seconds at a time, or even longer. Text would also look too strong, making it hard to read, and it is an area in the middle of the screen where the text would be a blur. The blur seems to correct itself (I didn't really do anything but to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable to the end of the adapter) but the problem of a text sharpness and flicker still exists. Also, the colors were a bit off. For example, the red underlining of Firefox for misspelled words appear gray.

  My resolution when you use VGA is 1680 x 1050, which is the native resolution. When I switch to HDMI, the native resolution is higher than this and when changed to that resolution is horrible. The edges are cut off or something, so I left it to 1680 x 1050, which is what I am anyway.

  Anyone has ideas how solve my problems? I am currently using VGA.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Juggle with the ClearType settings seems to have solved the problem. Hooray!

• Text on 16-bit image overlay

  I'm trying to text on a 16-bit image overlay.

  The overlay is successful (using overlay IMAQ Text.vi), but I would like to save this file with the overlay.

  I have been using IMAQ Write queue 2. VI to write the image as a .png and writes the image successfully, but not overlapping.

  I read this comment about overlays:

  Using overlay with a third-party Viewer features:
  When you use the functions IMAQ Overlay, a third-party Viewer will not display this information. You must use playback Image Vision of information with application software to display the overlay. To display a picture in a third-party Viewer, you can use the IMAQ merge Overlay.vi, who is a destructive function, which means that it replaces the underlying pixels by pixels bunk.

  So basically I would like to see the images later on a viewer of third parties, but when I use IMAQ merge Overlay.vi, the result is no longer the 16-bit image, I need.  It now becomes an RGB image.  Any suggestions on how to get a 16-bit image with superimposed text I can see outside LabVIEW?  Thank you.

  Hi jmeyer,.

  I think that's what you hear.  Take a look at the screenshot.  When you create a constant, or a control on the entry called Pixel color value it will create a dialog box that lets you choose a color you want to use when you click the command/consatant.  If you want to enter the actual value of the U32, you can replace this with a digital constant/control and enter the direct number you need.

  

• HP UPD PCL5/PCL6 W2k8R2-Print Server issues a one by a particular software

  Hi all

  We have a print server W2k8R2 and we want to use only the HP - UPD (PCL5/PCL6), for all HP network printers.

  Some printers alongside some with PCL5 PCL6. Printing from Windows is no problem on PCL5/6.

  But we ge issues with printing form a particular software (Compuware Uniface).

  The printer works with PCL6, everything is ok, Windows/Uniface.

  But if the printer works only with the UPD PCL5, we get a few small problems.

  -WIndows print jobs

  Uniface - print Don t: instead of the text, we get only a special character (@7\? *'´_ -! %&/\} [])

  and it's unusable and useless

  What is the difference between PCL5 and PCL6? because in Windows, it works.

  Can someone help me?

  In this case, if it is only with interactions with this specific program, then it is likely that this program is not designed to be used in the way that you use it in. If the printer does not have any problems with other functions or applications, then the software and the mechanics of the printer work properly. The problem seems to be that the program you are using is not properly able to communicate information to the machine, and what information gets the machine is not able to be understood by the printer.

  Is that correct or is there more information that might change the analysis of the issue in this case?

  Let me know!
