• 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!

  > 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?

• CP1515n print too dark photos

  I have a printer HP color laserjet CP1515n's and no matter what I try settings, I can't seem to change the photo printing

  Print too dark

  Can someone help me with this problem

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Bazza46,

  By your post, I see that the photos are too dark print.
  I can help you with this problem.

  I have provided a document to solve Print quality problems see if that will help solve the problem.

  Make sure you select the type of paper in the printer driver and is not a default unspecified paper.

  Most of the settings should be set the application you are printing from.

  You use Genuine HP Toner?

  What kind of paper do you use?

  What are the results when you print the page of diagnostic quality and print?

  If you need help, let me know.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• LR 2: workflow colorproofed but prints too dark. Help, please.

  Hello

  I'm new here. I have read all the other threads on this problem and tried all the proposals. But I can't solve the problem.

  In detail:

  IMac

  Progs: CS 2, CS 4, LT 2

  Printer: HP Photosmart B 9180

  Display: iMac + Eizo CG21

  ColorProof by eye - one display and colorvision spectrophotometer for printers.

  I even put the brightness and Gamma of the monitor for each type of paper measuring the brightness/white paper.

  In CS 2 all works very well. 100% matching printmakers.

  In LR 2: too dark images. Printer has the default value. Color-correct profile is selected. Printer is set up for color management software...

  If I send the same image of LR2 to PS2 to modify, print in PS2 without changes, everthing is ok.

  CS 4: Too dark prints as in LR2

  Help, please! I love LT2 to manage the huge amount of images and you want to use for printing photobooks (easier to print if you want to print pictures 20 or more...)

  Anyone have more tips?

  Thanks in advance

  I have the same setup as you, perhaps with the exception of the osX version (10.5.7).

  The impressions of my B9180 are thin and assorted in color managed LR and printer managed.

  Wheter that the printer is set up by default or not never made no difference.

  My printer driver version is 2.3.3

  However, I have the same problem with another printer and LR.

  The fact that people with the same configuration and drivers get different results only confirm my idea that there is a bug / flag in LR who gets together and then all your prints for a certain printer is screwed up.

  I am rather disappointed that Adobe has not corrected this and seems even to the same bug in CS4.

  I won't pay for LR or CS4 until I have confirmation that this bug is gone (if I were to upgrade to CS4 and get the same problem, I would not be able to print over all)

• hp deskjet 1510 printing too dark

  Hello

  As says the subject, my HP Deskjet 1510 printer is printing too dark. Does anyone know how to change this?

  Thank you

  Thanks for the reply.

  You try to print a photo, if so what program? If you print word documents, try printing in draft mode.

  I would like you open the printer from the desktop icon or go to Start> all programs> HP> Deskjet 1510> 1510 Deskjet series. The Printer Wizard, click the estimated ink levels> Services> print quality diagnostic report, not this dark printing page as well?

• Pictures Printing too dark

  HP Officejet 6500 a Plus All in One.  Windows 7, 64 bit.  Print all pictures too dark.  I have checked the cartridges, cleaned print head, set preferences - set everything I can think of.  Provides excellent print quality but all of a sudden this change.  Can not think of any change I made to the computer itself.  Any thoughts?  And thank you very much.  Small drives me crazy!

  Thanks for help. I did NOTthink of printing as a PROJECT; may have worked. But only one solution temporary vs a fix, right? I finally gave up and changed the black ink cartridge, even though it was almost new. With the new cartridge, returned to perfect photo printing. Now I think I bought a faulty cartridge. Once again, thaks for taking the time!

• LaserJet Pro M452dn color: Color LaserJet Pro M452 prints too dark

  All prints much too dark. Even in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator. I downloaded the user guide, but not able to find a way to adjust the intensity of output. Setting the output seems to be available for Windows only. Is - everyone there knows the secret formula for Mac users? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I usually check the option of directly on setting intensity her pinter.

  Go to system set up, select the print intensity or density and 3 is the default setting, it goes on a scale of 1 to 5, five being really dark, replace it with a 1 or 2 and try out it.

• LaserJet 1300: LaserJet prints too dark gray

  I suspect that this can happen several HP Laser Jet printers.

  Even when I print a C = 0, M = 0, Y = 0, K = 10 Gray (a setting that makes gray barely distinguishable on screen) to the black wire, black is very difficult to read in print. Gray is simply too dark.

  I've looked everywhere and complaints most people about gray printing have to with the gray print thread too light. This isn't my problem.

  I have updated drivers with no luck.

  I am hoping there is a kind of software that will allow me to recalibrate the gray my HP Print.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  There is no utility calibration for this printer. I am certified on them when they were new. Grey s printing too dark and you use the OEM toner cartridges then I would replace the engine Board. If you use replacement cartridges they print darker than the new HP cartridges and I just turn to OEM.

• large format HP 7110 prints come out too dark when using the choice of photo paper.

  My officejet 7000 would be to print borderless photos size beautiful poster even using a brand off paper. (Staples brand)

  But my new 7110 printer prints much too dark.  I choose the option "other photo paper.

  Hi @Ratboy2k Sunshyn here for help.

  I see that you're having trouble with your 7110 newly purchased. If your photos appear darker when you used the 7000 all programs? Have you tried to change the settings for print quality? You may need to change the quality at the standard. With the help of high quality may cause more ink on the page, your impressions would therefore appear darker.

  It could also be the selection of paper. Even if you are off mark paper, you don't have to choose "other photo paper. What are the options available in the selection of paper and what kind of paper do you use? I understand it of paper Staples, but must have a particular type as advanced, or premium and so on.

  I would like to do everything I can to help. Please post back with the requested details and I'll gladly come back and work with you to find a solution. Thank you.

• Canon ip4950 - prints too dark

  Canon Pixma iP4950 printer - prints much too dark. Different profiles tried both through Windows and Photoshop. The difference is well beyond the profiles.

  Parameters of the screen changed, altered the printer, photoshop changed settings. Service customer of Canon unaided with their suggested parameters. Up to date drivers.

  Former Canon iP4600 very good (a lot of use, worn, this display has & is not good up here!)

  Original toner cartridge or cartridges recycled / reloaded / reconditioned?

  It could be a faulty cartridge.

• Lightroom 5 prints are too dark, so a problem now!

  Hello

  Using LR 5.7

  I import images in RAW and convert to DNG.

  hen I export in a JPG and print them, the impressions are very good.

  When I print from the Lightroom print Module, impressions come out too dark with a significant loss of detail in the shadows.

  Adobe...  This is a major problem since version LR 1...  It's high time you fixed!  I wasted tens of sheets of paper because of this problem!

  My screen is just a 24 "calibrated monitor IPS ASUS.

  Windows 7, 64 bit.

  Thank you very much

  In the print module, under Print Job, print setting, brightness level of contrast and of + 30 to + 15 (these settings work with my printer). Do a test print. If necessary, change the settings. Repeat the test. Once you have arrived at the right settings for your printer, you don't need to worry about setting the parameters for each image.

• Now too dark colors

  I'm sure I've seen an Epson print driver update pass, but since it was longer than 30 days there I can't see it in my account more.  Since then, Pages print my colors too dark.  I have a bunch of cards and card biz in printing Pages and ruin my Stallion now.  I know it's a problem of pages because I can print to PDF and print preview and the colors are very well.  What's up with Pages of color matching?

  It will be a real problem if I have to take all my Pages greeting cards.

  I have a professional level Epson 3800 printer.

  Are you talking about Pages 5.6.1?

  Have you tried Pages ' 09?

• CM1312 dark print color photos

  I have a brand new nfi HP CM1312... connected via USB and two PC network running family vista premium and latest driver from hp.com

  the photocopier and scanner produce likeness of good quality of the original in color or black and white.

  but when you print a photo in color of each PC output is too dark and too much green tint. 75% is probably the original brightness.

  There seems to be no available on the printer driver setting? the same photo printed on another printer (Inkjet) is very well...

  Here, the dealer says it's what this model?

  I thought at the time of WYSIWYG a new modern printer output would be at least as good as an older model... AND if the built-in scanner can produce almost 100% of the copies of the original, then the printer should also be able to as well...

  HELP SOMEONE

  ATTENTION DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER IF YOU WANT A COMPATIBLE OUTPUT *.

  I had some 'fun' try to set the output to match the screen.

  The concession was not able to help or assistance HP or these forums. The dealer had the unit for two weeks to run tests and concluded that this is how the unit is. That I do not accept.

  Before holding the camera in I noticed that there is a small amount of adjustment available if you install the software from the CD provided, called 'Toolbox '.

  There is a parameter called "print quality" or something like that and inside, there is a list of parameters and a drop for each parameter. There should be adjustment of-5 to + 5 for each.

  I had some success using these to adjust the output closer to the screen, but not exactly. I'm not after photoshop quality

  But please NOTE

  The first time I installed the software toolbox and went to research it was only from-3 to + 5 available settings...

  I installed the new firmware, but did not see any change...

  He was similarly to the dealership where I returned the unit to complain, they found only-3 to + 5 available......

  but after his return set unity and settle all the different versions of the HP software for this unit found on the website of HP and then by reinstalling from the CD provided (back to basics) on 04:55 adjustment was available... (I don't understand, but...)

  so there you go... I'm not after photoshop quality as I said, but I expect my newsletters to be readable, including photos on it.

• Our impressions of iP4950 Canon are too dark. Brand new computer. Any tips?

  Run us Windows 7 on a Dell computer and have the printer above, but impressions are too dark.  Have changed cartridges.  No difference.

  If you have selected the correct printer profile for the paper and that you use the inks and prints are still too dark, you need color calibrate your screen. See http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows7/Calibrate-your-display.

  Your problem is that the image of your screen is too bright.
