Hallo,

Can someone help me please? I recently bought myself a printer, a HP Photosmart C5180. I have always had HP printers. One problems which keeps occuring is that when I scan bright coloured photos I mostly get yellowish curbs/bars on it when there is too much orange, white,.. in it. (Gaussian curbs???) I don’t seem to to find the right remedy in Photoshop Elements (fading the colours, working on grid, …). Some say you have to calibrate your screen first for which you need a special program. Can someone show me the way, give me some hints how I can solve this problem.

Many thanks

I have an HP Photosmart 8450 that consistently produced incorrect looking color prints because it was not seeing the same thing I was seeing on my monitor. It was not until I calibrated my monitor with the Spyder 2 from Colorvision that my print outs improved by 90%. I have yet to calibrate the printer but so far with this much improvement I haven’t had to do so. Here is a link to their web site if you care to do this. There are other brands that do the same thing as well.
