Image Difference computer to printer

Post by Cathy1947 »

I have a Lexmart Pro 705 printer. The problem also occurred with a canon printer. This also happens with both my Laptop ,and desktop computers.
I will edit a picture so that it looks great on my computer screen , then when I print it on good Kodak paper ,it will be several shades darker. The old photoshop programs had a preference so that you adjusted to the printer. I know there has to be a trick to this.
Thanks in Advance

I'm not very good with color management but if you have a profile for your monitor and for your printer you can use PSP's built in color management to try and get what you see on the screen to match what comes out on the printer.

Go to File -> Color Management -> Color Management
