Understanding Printers/Discrepancies in color | Index | Home |
The printed colors are completely different from those of the original photograph |
Several factors may cause the colors in the printout to differ from those in the original photograph. |
First, the settings of the device used to import the original photograph affect the colors in a printout. If you use a film or flatbed scanner, check the settings of the scanner software. |
The printer settings can also affect the way in which color is printed. |
After you have calibrated the color on your monitor, adjust the aforementioned settings and try printing again. |
