Set the Gamma setting to 1.5 in the More Settings dialog box in the printer driver, then print again. If you still do not get the printouts you expect, adjust the color using the slide bar for each color. For details about the More Settings dialog box, see "Customizing print settings" on page 73 for Windows, or see "Customizing print settings" on page 159 for Macintosh.
