Printout Is Unsatisfactory

Printed and On-screen Colors Do Not Match

The colors you see on the screen do not match the colors you see in the printed copy of the same image. For example, objects that appear blue on the screen are printed purple and objects that appear pale green on the screen are printed dark green.

A color display and printer do not reproduce color in the same way. The printed color tones may not perfectly match the colors you see on the screen because screen color varies depending on how the screen is viewed and calibrated.

When the differences between displayed and printed colors are too extreme, check the following.
