dont want colour when printing non-colour image by DJKAL on 03-23-2006 at 09:39 PM
i have created a leaflet to advertise my DJ-ing,
it is black and white - with grey also and is created in photoshop CS2
but
i want 2 on a page and need to print it
so i inserted it as an image into microsoft word and when printing it prints with pink around the "CD's" and the image also has pink around some lines.
what can i do to stop this and get it to print white
(i tried making it bnlack and white in M$ Word - but that made it look s**t! as it removed some lines )
i tried grey-scale and that didnt work
is there anyway to get it to print as it looks in the image ( attachment!)

when you choose print, did you select the option to print as Grayscale?
RE: dont want colour when printing non-colour image by DJKAL on 03-23-2006 at 09:43 PM
i changed the colour ...
*select image* > format picture > picture > color > **select grey-sacle**

In your printer options, not your image editing program.

Your printer doesn't care what you made it in and neither do I. When you go to print, hit "properties" and change it to grayscale. Your PRINTER options, not your "whatever you made it in" options.

What printer do you have?

can anyoneplease help with that?
i didnt ask for critisism over a name chosen 4 years ago!
Stop cutting off your nose to spite your face and just change it.

RE: dont want colour when printing non-colour image by DJKAL on 03-23-2006 at 10:39 PM
i would if it was just 1 or 2, but as it is a leaflet and not a poster i will need many more and so i dont know anyone who will use that much colour ink for me as i cant pay for it for them

tbh, he asked how to get it to print out right, not for people's opinions on it, nor for improvements that could be made for it, so why don't you all just answer his question and stop putting in your opinion where it's not wanted? ¬¬

Remove the colour cartridge.

i did think about that, but will it print beveled effect then? (the bit that prints pink)
RE: dont want colour when printing non-colour image by RaceProUK on 03-24-2006 at 12:22 AM
Try it and see.
RE: dont want colour when printing non-colour image by DJKAL on 03-24-2006 at 12:28 AM
it wont print without the colour cartridge installed 
RE: dont want colour when printing non-colour image by CookieRevised on 03-24-2006 at 12:41 AM
quote:Because you're printing it in color using the color cardridges to simulate greyscale. And since you don't have enough color inkt (one of them is empty or the nozzles are dried out), not all colors are used.

quote:Print in greyscale, not color (and make sure yuo have enough black inkt of course). Do this by setting your printer properties to greyscale as people have said...

And yes, you do have that option.
quote:Black and white is not greyscale. Greyscale are all the scales from black to white, not only the color black and the color white.

Also, setting the color or type of your image in Word has got nothing (at least not much) todo with how you're going to print it.
quote:Change the properties of your printer, not from your image.

You can change the image all you want, it will not affect how you print it.
PS: and instead of printing it hundreds of times, make one full page print out and bring that to a copy center and ask them to copy it a hundred times (and say you need 2 on 1 page). It will cost far far less...

any-way, it has printed fine now - i just needed to put a new colour ink cartridge in there (was almost run out)
thanks for the help, from those of you who did
