Printers and monitors see colurs in very different ways.


There are 2 ways to do this, try to match printer to monitor or try to match monitor to printer.


The matching the monitor to printer is easier.


You can also purchase ';magic eye'; type units that plug into USB port and read colours from your screen and set up a ';screen profile'; for windows, and then does same when it prints a predetermined colour patch set, and then creates a profile for the printer.


Most ';professional'; designers and advertising houses do0 this weekly, or in same cases more often to ensure all devices are calibrated to match, this also needs to be done if you use different paper types.


If you look in a photo pagazine, especislly one dealing in digital you will find adverts for these units.Monitor colors dont match with printer color?
Well,do one thing just reinstall the Printer Driver and check the level of Ink in the Color Cartiredge.
In most cases this problem is caused because you are low on a certain color. I assume you are using an ink jet printer, your jet heads maybe clogged.





Some printers will inform you of your ink levels when you select print. Others will not, its up to you decide this.





You should be able to access your printer setting via your control panel or start%26gt;settings%26gt;printer(Windows XP).





From there you can attempt to clean your ink jet heads.





Additionally, some printers come with configuration programs to help match colors. You may also need to check the printer quality setting this may be set to high and will never recreate to images. This can be checked in the dialog that pops up when you chose to print.
