When you print a photo on Matt paper

When you use a laser (vs inkjet) printer, are improvements in color on paper matte paper/paper looks?

MFJ

HIA Trains1985,

I'll try to help with this

"" I need to ask a question first of all please - rather than are the improvements, do you mean "are there of improvements"

I'll answer as if that is the question, ask yourself if you'll see improvements by changing the paper, well you might, please read on

you mention also pass to Matt/paper card, but not if it is a 'best' stock that you use now?

I'll answer as if you may have about moving from an improved stock, normally a more expensive. In some cases, you can see the improvements, see below:

There is a question of color and barely tonal in the press here, you can't choose any old paper or cardstock, [no matter] just and expect the exact tone and color (to match a decent screen calibrated fairly well). It COULD, it COULD No.

IF the paper stock or card you choose is properly supported by the manufacturer of printers ([i.e. He is listed there in the settings of the printer / media section of the driver software], and then, if you choose a stock better than your paper from day to day, you will see probably more color range (wider, more saturation) and better tone and detail.) Reasonable and color tone I hope.

I'm a guy of color management and recommend generally a user start on this type of research by tests using an image known good source, you can download mine at www.colourmanagement.net on the downloads page. [colourmanagement.net is spelled English/Canadian way ;-)]. This composite image was designed to include the so-called "memory colors" This means a little "know you" if they are far away.

For this test please start with the feel of a paper or a card that is listed in the [ printer settings] printer driver software and with the Photoshop print window the value "printer manages color."

Printer manufacturers go to much effort to papers which are suitable with their equipment and do the driver options to give good results. Sometimes this does not work, but today it is normally quite acceptable. Then, it will be a reference what to expect of your printer.

SO how do you move forward-

1: open the image in Photoshop (or lightroom) - the uploaded image looks OK on the screen? i.e. the skintones are natural. Greys neutral tonal range OK? etc.

2: makes an impression look 'right' [and may match the screen]. Make sure you only print on a piece of paper that listed in the [printer settings] print drivers software and it is selected as a 'media' and with the Photoshop print window the value "printer manages color".

Printer manufacturers go to much effort to papers which are suitable with their equipment and do the driver options to give good results. Sometimes this does not work, but today it is normally quite acceptable.

I hope this helps, please let me know

  • Photosmart 7150: Printer prints correct colors of the web; printing of background colors incorrect when you print the document

    I have a Dell desktop computer, using Windows 7 with a HP Photosmart 7150 (I know this is an older model, but I have no reason to spend).

    When you print to the web, the colors are printed similar to what we see on the screen.  When I try to print a document that includes a background with color, the color prints differently.   The document I'm working on that requires a background textured printing on glossy photo paper.  When the document is formatted with a brownish background, the background is printed bright green.  When the document is formatted with a blue background lighting, the background is printed a bright torquoise.

    I worked with the printer settings changing the quick project to the best print quality. increases the magenta color, but nothing seems to work.  The ink cartridge is fairly recent. I hate wasting more paper and ink.

    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thank you for taking the time to try to help solve the problem of color with my printer.  I solved the problem: I had a PHOTO, #58 print cartridge in the printer.  When I changed for the black cartridge, #56, colors came out as it should.

    Thanks again!

  • HP Officejet 4630: Printing on both sides, no option to turn off when you print a Word Doc; When printing Pages

    Recently, when printing, the printer appear uses both sides of the paper, even when we don't want him. There is no option to turn it off when you print a Word document.


    When printing Pages it shows a checked box that says BOTH SIDES, if I uncheck, then it works.

    But from Word, there is no other choice. I tried the file/Preferences, I tried through the printer settings and nothing we can find will solve this problem? This has recently (last week or two) become a problem...

    Thank you!

    Greetings @digengen,
  • My page is printed too high. When you print the report of diagnosis of iMac, top of page letters are cut off the page

    I have a hp c310a all-in-one.  When you print cd labels, graphics look good on preview before printing, but when it comes to the printer off, the graphics are about 1/4 "too high, which leaves the low" 1/4 of my blank cd label.  I printed a report of quality Diagnostic print from my mac and it came out too high.  Cut the top of the report, it began printing until the paper is correctly positioned.  When you print the Diagnostic Report of quality printing directly from the touchsmart on my printer screen, the report will print very well.  I wonder if there is a setting miss me when I go on my printout.

    Hello

    This really sounds like a parameter of the wrong paper on the computer, type or wrong size setting can cause these issues, especiallly it seems to work perfectly when printing directly from the camera.

  • When I print, the photo viewer rises and am OBLIGED to print from that program. The problem is, that it does not work - the colors are inverted and incorrect. All attempts to correct in the color management failed.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • When I print, the photo viewer rises and am OBLIGED to print from that program.  The problem is, that it does not work - the colors are inverted and incorrect.  All attempts to correct in the color management failed.  Some images are color reversed negatively. and others not when the print window picture viewer options are increasing. and every time I print a normal color on the picture he reverse out come.

    So, in my words, your picture has not changed somehow in Photoshop. There is no sense and doesn't matter the number of ppi. The important numbers are pixels.

  • How to stop the print cover sheet when you print using eprint? I have a B211A 6510

    When you print using eprint address, I get an in addition to the document cover sheet.  I'm wasting paper and ink.  How can I stop this page from printing?

    There are a few options depending on where you are sending from. If it is a document that you join I guess its from a PC, but I'll give you the mobile option as well.

    The HP ePrint app on devices like iphones and ipads, or home HP ePrint and biz app on android, allows open files and send them via eprint not at home without actually sending an email. In other words, there is nothing in the body of an email to print. The link below you shows how to start with this app and use it.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01616126

    The other option is the use of the pilot of mobile eprint from your computer. Add a printing device of your pc that actually sends jobs through eprint by clicking Print on the file menu. Using this method, you can print the elements of any application that supports printing, and you have the advantage of being able to specify duplex printing (if supported on your model) and the number of copies. It also means that you won't have to save the file, open an e-mail, attach them to an email and then send it. It is done simply by clicking file, print, and then choosing the printer after the initial installation. The link below you ask your operating system and will then download and manual on how to use the software.

  • Acrobat to print DC question. When you print all the pages in my PDF printer, Acrobat creates a HUGE file. Looks like it is including all the signature features.  How to disable this option?

    When you print a simple PDF document on my printer (PDFXchange) PDF creates a huge file.

    For example, I have a PDF without features signature inside. It is 723KB.

    When I ask my CD player to print on my printer, it generates a file 19, 591 KB.

    How can I avoid that my CD player to make these large files?

    I think that it is related to the "Signature" whole feature that has been added to Reader 11.  Because before that, my impression works beautifully.

    Thank you

    Sorry, would of noticed earlier that you said that you were using a third-party printer.

    I think it's probably just a matter of settings, but if you were able to solve it by downgrading to XI, then this is good...

  • How can I eliminate all the routing information when you print an e-mail message?

    When you print an e-mail message entering, Thunderbird includes an entire page, or more than all the routing information related to the email. All I need is the content of the e-mail message, the indication of an attachment, and who it is from. There must be a way say Thunderbird not to include it.

    The menu bar, select View-Headers-Normal

    No Menu bar? Press the ALT key .

    This will remove the printed and transmitted messages.
