| Help... I am having trouble printing my images. I calibrated my monitor using Adobe Gamma. The images look great on screen, but when I go to print they all have a yellow cast to them. Any ideas on how to correct this? |

| What kind of a printer are you using. Printing isn't plug and play, there are things you have to do to make your image match. If you are on an Epson printer, you can use printer profiles. I love my epson printers and find when I use profiles that I can download from the paper companies or I use epson papers that have their profiles, my colors are dead on to my screen. Also, Adobe Gamma isn't the best way to calibrate your monitor. There a some good products out there that generally run in the $300 range and under that will do a very good job, Some will also calibrate your paper. |

Shelly, could you elaborate on the printer profile information above. I too have problems with an Epson 1280 having color match the screen. I do use Epson papers. Many thanks.

I've read that on some printers the print isn't fully color developed immediately after it prints -- though I think they said they were more green to start, and then they shift to the true color in an hour or so.
Don't remember where I read that though. |
