Scanned photo turns out ok, but Print is much too Red
I use the Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner and scanned a color photograph. It
scanned very nicely. I then used Photo Explosion to print it on either my recent Lexmark or my HP Office Jet. In both cases the colors were fine when I printed on plain paper, but the moment I tried various types of glossy photo paper, the images turned out MUCH too red. They were unusable. Why is that? Does it have something to do with scanning? But then why are the paper images fine in color, but nothing on photo paper? |

Glossy papers don't absorb ink the same way as plain paper.
The various color printers are usually optimized for specific brands/types of glossy paper. The coating on glossy paper may introduce a color shift. (Noticable, but not extreme) Anyway-- Try printing the same item using the same printer settings with plain paper, glossy paper, and perhaps ink jet paper. Try disabling the color profile for the printer. With XP, somehow the color correction scheme can result in very dark colors. If this seems to be the problem, and defeating the color profile does not help, try uninstalling the printer driver, reboot, and reinstall it according to the mfrs proceedures. (The latter is what cured my R300 when it started printing dark pictures on any paper.) "Ritter197" wrote in message ... I use the Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner and scanned a color photograph.

Can you get profiles for the paper you use...that can make a big difference.
