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.

    What did you do to get rid of the light blue blackground. I am having the same issue, and it is super-important, for a project. It prints with light blue background. Where did you change the mode? Help please


    If you change the mode in photoshop from RGB to LAB colour, then the blue background when printing to PDF Should disapear. Be careful and make sure you save your file before as this requires you to flatten the documennt so it then has no layers.
