horizontal fine black lines

18 years ago

What would cause fine black lines across my images? They are all the way across or partial. Sometimes there are a few and sometimes a lot.

I'm using Windows XP with Photoshop Elements 5.

Is this on your monitor or with printed pictures?

Oh, sorry, it's on the printed page. Mostly on photos. Obviously, it's only visible in the light colored sections of the paper. I've had one page come out with fine red lines, a few days ago. Norm

I didn't really grow them with any expectations of any kind. As far as the flavor goes, to me, they are awful. To the birds they must be like caviar, they don't even wait for many of them to ripen...just eat them while still green. I've thought about grafting it over, but for some reason which I do not understand, I hear it's difficult. I think I read that sour cherry will graft, but sweet cherries are usually rejected. I find that hard to believe, but I've heard it so often from different sources I'm thinking maybe there is something to it.

Had same problem. Got a 10uf 100v capacitor at www.allspectrum.com for $3.71 including shipping. Repair took about 20" with most of the time spent removing the back of the TV. Some good pictures at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maotx/2737356766/in/set-72157606567691399/ http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2337627420_b45bbf1a74.jpg?v=0

Pee Wee Thank you so much for responding so quickly... Today, I ran out and bought a new R445 (1 Ohm/.33 W), a C550 (100uf/35v), and a new IC550 (LA7838). Spent a whole $6.00... First, I replaced the IC550 (which was pretty tough to solder - 14 fine little pins), then I replaced the C550, and the R445... Did a mighty fine job too.. Put everything back together and powered it up... It still didn't work... No change at all.. When I replaced the IC550, I was very careful to make sure positive was to positive and negative was to negative, and I took the same precautions when I replaced the CAP... I didn't notice any polarity on the resistor.. Although, it's just a resistor... Does it matter which way the R445 goes? Anyway.. Still tryin' to figure this thing out... Any more advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanks again.. Brian Strollo

This is an old post, but you might have lost part of a ribbon cable connection to the screen. Conductive adhesive connects the cable to the panel on the edges. As far as I know, the only sure repair is a new panel which is very expensive and usually not a home owner repair.

Next question would be make & model of printer, then we can start putting puzzle together.

And if it is not possibly blocked printer nozzles as Zep seems to be considering then perhaps it is a low resolution photo you are trying to print?

Try setting your print quality a bit higher and see if that cures it

It's an Epson Stylus Photo 1280. I checked and it was set at 72 dpi. I reset it to 220. I'll see if that fixes the problem.
I have done innumerable nozzle checks and replaced the cartridges many times without resolving anything. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.
It may take some time to establish whether or not this is the solution as the problem is intermitant.

After I upped the resolution to 220, I printed out an 8.5x 11
photo. What came out was fine but only about one half the image. No lines this time. So why the half page of print? Did I set the resolution too high?

Did the half image fill the page or was the page only half filled?

Did you use the 'Print preview' and resize before printing? Take a look at the link I provided if you are unsure Norm

If half the image filled the page you definitely need to use the 'Print preview feature and move the picture around to set it how you want it to look. Be sure to grab the corner 'ears' to resize the picture so that it does not get distorted. Using the side or top ears to resize will give you either short fat folk or tall skinny folk.

Here is a link that might be useful: Print preview in Photoshop elements

The page was half filled, owbist. I did as you said to fill the frame. It seems to have fixed itself, as later pictures and text are full page.
Did I do something when I resized to 220 that caused the half page image?
I'll be starting a class in Photoshop next week. Maybe I'll finally learn something about it. Thanks again for your assistance.
