Hi all.
I have a Postscript 3 colour laser printer connected to a ‘network’ with a colour plotter, another colour laser using a Minolta driver and an Epson inkjet printer on it. When I print to any of the other devises and I let the printer manage colour, they all print acceptably close to each other and look like what I see on the screen.
If I do this with the Postscript printer, the output has a very warm look to it which I can correct with minus 7 points of colour correction in PShop. I have tried using a number of variables and none seem to have much effect. I notice in Corel Draw (ver 11) which produces the closest to system correct colour, that the output devise of colour off-set press, uses one of the options provided with the Postscript printer — CMYK.
I wonder then if the printer takes RGB like all the other printers and converts it or if Postscript can take CMYK? I can’t find a lot of information about this but in Photoshop, there is no profile I can select for that printer. Can someone please tell me how I can match the printer output to an otherwise properly colour balanced system?
