Hi
I’m sure that this has been asked before and that there are billions of answers and my quest is for a definative answer 🙂
Ok CS3 extended running with an HP2605 colour printer. Printer by default uses Hp rsrgb
Now a picture on the screen in grey gamma 2.2 looks perfect but printed looks very dark. I’ve tried letting the printer handle colour and Photoshop handling the colour. I loaded the HP postscript driver and that gives the best (if rather poor) results.
A search on the web tells me I need an icm printer profile for my printer loaded into photoshop but I’m unable to locate such a file either free or chargable.
Hp solution was to go into the printer settings and adjust the colours individually to get the result I wanted for every single image. Not a viable solution.
So after this long missive here’s the questionssss
Will I ever get a good output?
Do I need the ICM file
Should I get a different laser printer that prints in postscript? Or should I get a perfect match everytime so my printers faulty?
Sorry to be so longwinded but I’m really confused
cheers
Ian
