Prints Dull & Dark Since Catalina Upgrade

Files that have printed beautifully before are now printing dull and dark since upgrading. Same paper, printer and no changes to the files, settings or profile. When I compare prints before the upgrade to what I am getting now from the same exact file they are dull, not as warm and dark. HELP! .... anyone else. I downloaded the profile again and restarted but their is no difference. MAC, Catalina, Photoshop 2019 20.0.7

After much testing and support I solved the problem by installing new print driver that is compatible with Catalina. I was already using ColorSync but thank you for the suggestion. With the new driver installed prints are once again looking like they should.

Hey deniseapple2,


I understand you're noticing a difference in colors when printing before and after macOS Catalina. I'll be happy to help out.


ColorSync Utility allows you alter the colors for printed documents. Changing these setting may provide the color you're looking for: Print images and PDF documents in ColorSync Utility on Mac - Apple Support.


Have a great day.
