Print Colours not true in All Programs on My MacBook Pro
Hi:
I'm having colour issues with printing in all programs.
The colours are muted and dark. Eg. Royal Blue becomes a Denim Blue. A bright pink become a dusty rose. Reds are orange. Lime Green becomes Forest Green.
I have an HP 7500A printer. I experinced this difficulty with my old printer when I first got my Mac the printer was blamed and as it was 10 years old and dying I accepted that. Now my brand new printer has the same issue.
I've change the printer profiles in Pages and General CKMY is closest to true it reduces the muting but the colours are still dark and the shades are off. It slows the printer big time. Automatic or Vendor is awful the colours are so far off.
The issue is worse on my own Mac specific creations but is persistant through out all programs iPhoto, Pages, Safari, Adobe Elements 9, Mail etc.
I've been working with HP and they can't figure it out. They have sent me a new print head and are sending me another one. Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software.
I've quereyed help and looked through system settings etc and can't see where to fix or change the colour settings with in the Mac itself.
😕 Can anyone out there shed some light on this.
