Every time I print digital pictures on my printer the photos look very fade/pale.
I tried all type of software ( adobe , corel ) and settings it is always the same bleached result.
On monitor photos are perfect , resolution 2400×1600.

Paper – Business Depot , high glass , 56lb. , 8mil

Try some HP paper. Since different brands use a different ink, most printers work best with their own brand of paper.

Is your monitor calibrated? Just because it looks good on your monitor doesn’t mean the pictures are correct.

I agree. I use mostly HP for photos and the HP Premium + paper works great. You might check the Properties of the printer and ensure that the color and saturation settings are correct. Also, be sure that you are properly setting up your prints; for the paper type etc.
