Why print black and white done with magenta tint?

When I print white/gray levels in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, certain documents printed with the ghost text that appears in a clear magenta.  This ghost text is spread at the bottom right of the black text.

I am printing from Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe Reader 11.0.03 using a HP LaserJet 1525nw printer.

The left side of the image is a screenshot of the PDF and print.  The right printed directly from the PDF file.

Any ideas why this happens?

  • Sort of printing black and white only when magenta cartridge is empty?

    We have a HP Office Jet Pro 8500 a. computer running Windows Vista.

    The Magenta cartridge is currently empty, and we need to print an urgent document before we will be able to get a new cartridge.

    While trying to print a black and white document only, the following error has occurred:

    Exhausted ink cartridges

    HP 940 Magenta

    The cartridges listed above must be replaced to resume printing.

    HP recommends that you do not remove an ink cartridge until a replacement is ready to install.

    Specified in printing dialog windows that we want only black and white, but it is still received this error message.

    Is it possible to adjust the printer settings to specify explicitly that you want to use black ink?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    This printer takes individual ink cartridges (IIC), and this ink delivery system requires that all cartridges to be installed for the printer to work. You can set the printer to "Using black ink only", but that must be done before a cartridge is exhausted, that the printer inks for other uses in fairest impression. It also uses the ink for the maintenance of the print heads. Here a link to a document that turns to explain various ways that ink is used in a printer beyond just printing.

  • I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

    I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

    The Deskjet F4288 joined the printheads on the ink supply.  These are replaced at each change of cartrdige so there is no concern about printing empty color or black cartridges.

    You should be able to print in ink entry mode "backup" by removing color (or black, but not both) cartridges.  There will probably be a warning message about ink backup mode but you should be able to print and the printer will work regardless of the cartridge is available.  In handwritten backup with the only color black cartrdige mode areas will print in shades of gray.  If print ink backup mode only the installed color cartridge then black will be printed by mixing colors.

    See page 75 of the manual here, that says:

    Use the entry ink-backup mode
    Use ink-backup mode to operate the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge. The
    ink-backup mode begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print cartridge
    transport. During the ink-backup mode, the product can only printing from the computer.
    You cannot start a print job from the control (such as copying or scanning a Panel
    original).

    NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device works in ink-backup mode, a message is
    displayed on the screen. If the message appears and two print cartridges are installed
    in the product, check that the piece of tape plastic protection has been removed
    each print cartridge. When the plastic strip covering the contacts of the print cartridge, the product
    cannot detect the cartridge is installed.

  • using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative. * beep *.

    using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative.  * beep *.

    I was able to recreate what you see.   I managed to work around it by installing a different driver that is also supposed to be compatible with the CLJ3600.

    Please consider trying this as a possible solution:

    (1) uninstall the driver CLJ3600 by opening printers and fax machines, driver selection and right-click on it and select Delete.  Once it is removed, right-click on an empty space in the windows printers and faxes and select Server properties.  Click the driver tab, click the CLJ3600 and then click on remove.

    One when you're done, restart, and then install the CLJ3500 driver.  This is a previous version of the driver that has been implemented for the CLJ3600 and is compatible with the CLJ3600.

    After installation, try printing again.

    The output I have indicates it will print is more negative.  Please let me know if you have success.

    One caveat about this solution.  The Color LaserJet 3500 doesn't support duplex.  Of workaround only works for two printing on the package of basic or the Color LaserJet 3600 N.

  • HP Officejet L7680: Can I print black and white when color cartridge is empty - HP Officejet L7680

    Help, please!

    Can someone tell me if I can continue to print black and white if the color cartridge is empty.  The product name is HP Officejet L7680.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community of HP @naristot,

    I understand that you would like to know if you can continue printing in black ink, if one of the color toner is empty. I'll be happy to help you.

    This printer was designed to function as a system of four cartridges, so you must have all four available ink cartridges in order to be able to print.

    If so, the program will be directed to the Hollywood Look effects Panel and black red effect.

    If this isn't what you are doing, please let us know where you find "instructions" there is no effect of dark red I know in the program.

  • Why I can't print black and white if the yellow cartridge is empty but the black is full?

    I have a Photosmart C7250 all-in-one and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, why can't I print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty? The black cartridge is full, it is not the only one to be used? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change just print in black? I tried the black and white option through command prompt on my computer but the printer always gives me an error message saying that I need to replace the yellow before I can print.

    The reason that this, your printer is actually not to damage the internal parts.  Mainly the printhead.  It is built in integrated security to help protect your investment.  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads. HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads. These may or may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty. Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply. He is replaced at each change of cartridge. These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.  I understand that it can be very annoying, but it's a necessary.

  • Unable to print black and white with an empty cartridge

    My printer will not print not black-and-white, except when a color cartridge is replaced empty.

    How can I print black with an empty color in place cartridge?

    Some IIC (individual ink cartridge) printers have print heads that require ink available for periodic maintenance tasks. This avoids problems with hooves in the print head and the bad print quality. The following printers are unable to print when a cartridge is empty, even if the other cartridges.

    If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, you can change the settings in the HP software to print in black ink only (grey levels). Even if you change the print settings to print in black ink only, the other ink cartridges still have ink in them so that the printer to print.

    If you choose to print in black ink only, the printer always uses small amounts of ink from all cartridges for occasional maintenance tasks. HP recommends to replace the low ink cartridges in order to avoid any interruption in printing.

  • HP3209a not printing black and white enamel but will display the web page

    I'm on Mac OSX10.8.  My HP Photosmart 3209 has suddenly stopped printing yesterday and had a pop up that says I got printhead problems.  I spent two hours on the phone this morning with two so-called experts feel, the first who said that the problem was with my iMac (he couldn't find it) and the second who said it was a problem with the printer (he couldn't find it).  The printer is connected to an iMac by USB cable.  It will not print e-mail or most of the pages of black and white but now curiously print a web page. BTW, I put new ink in it and did not help anything, and Printhead Cleaner ran about two dozen times.  I try to run an alignment but the page it prints which is for most of the blocks of color blue on half a page is not recognizable on the scanner when I try to run the alignment.

    I think that you always print head problems.  Go to System Preferences > print & Scan.  Click on your printer, click Options & supplies.

    From there, go to utility > Open Printer Utility, then clean the print head.

  • Satellite M30: black and white TV with S-video output

    I have a M30 bought in the United Kingdom currently I am in the United States
    When I try to connect my M30 to my TV via a RGB cable, it works very well but failed to get a similar result via S-video. The image is black and white and very fragile.

    Is it to do with the fact that the standards of television in the United Kingdom and the United States are different (PAL or NTSC) or is this something else?

    Can you recommend how can I change the output format of the S-video signal?

    Thanx

    MR. M.

    Hello

    The fact is that U.S. NTSC standard and it can be the reason for this, but if you use connection S-Video S-video port on the TV must be turned on. If not, the image can be produced in black and white.
