Photoshop cs printing question?

Question

I use a mac with photoshop cs (1st version, not cs2, or cs3). I would like to print my photos through photoshop, since i can have it manage the colors. However when printing photos through photoshop i find that my printer (epson r280) leaves little white lines. This reminds me of problems i used to have when using quickprint. Unfortunately i cant find the setting in photoshop to turn that off. I am thus currently printing pictures through "preview" but the colors are coming out wrong, everything is too dark. Can anybody help me with my problem?

Answer 1

It could possibly be your printer. My school's printer is so much faster than mine and prints in great quality, but the colors come out darker. My printer is slower, the quality is a bit lower, but the colors come out so much more perfect, and this is using the same pic. The difference is that at school, we use mac PCs haha.



Also, make sure the dpi of your image is really high, like say, 300. That way, your results will be much more high quality.

I think it is your printer set up. When you go to print, the printer prompt will come up, in that window select the properties. In properties you can then select the options like type of paper, color, text, etc. This is where you can correct for your problem. You might be able to adjust the color density. Photoshop usually determines the density (or brightness) of the colors. You might also want to check if your monitor is setup for the same color brightness. Hopefully what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG).

Answer 3

Open a clean rfile in Photoshop and set the size you elect (letter sized paper is 8.5 x 11 inches) now open each image, use CTRL A to elect entire image reproduction it and paste in the 1st rfile you opened. accomplish that with all photographs and place them the way you wan )each image would have that is very own layer in the layers palette) and ultimately print the unique (first) rfile with all the photographs on it.
