Prints with annoying light blue background

Hi everybody,

I hope somebody can help me with the following.

Since I bought a new printer a month ago (Epson ET-2650) everything I print via Photoshop Elements 2019 has a very light blue background. This happens even if in Elements the background is left transparent, so actualy no background at all.

Any ideas how to solve this.

Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas to you all.

Regards, Andy

Thnx again.

Your nr 6 put me in the right direction. Mode was set to RGB. I now changed the item just below to (in dutch) "omzetten in Adobe RGB-profile" something to do with colour profile.

This solved my problem.

Great help Hatstead.

Andy

  1. You can't print a transparent background. Perhaps you mean transparency on your screen??
  2. Is this color cast apparent when you print via Editor and/or Organizer?
  3. Do you have the latest driver for your printer? Check on the Epson web site.
  4. Have you calibrated the monitor?
  5. What happens when you print from another application?
  6. In Editor, go to Image>Mode and be sure that RGB color is checked.

    Thnx for your reply Hatstead.

    1.You CAN print with no background, I did it before with my previous Epson Photo Stylus R800 pinter. When you look at the print you can clearly see that no ink is used on the transparent parts. I'll try to describe what I mean with transparent; creating a blank psd document with no background then including a layer that is smaller than the psd first created. This gives light blue where it should be white.

    2. I don't print from organizer.

    3. Yes latest driver.

    4. Never needed to calibrate monitor. Complete transparent means no ink.

    5. Ms word or anything else works perfect.

    6. Cant check now but pretty sure of RGB.

    Do you have any other ideas.

    Regards, Andy
