Printing in RGB

HP deskjet 5150.  I must reset to default color or normal colors on every document.  After each document the color option is reset to "type new quickset name" by software.   This also happens when print is clicked and then canceled.  Most recent driver has been loaded.  No diagnostic that I can find indicates a problem.  An early thanks for any response.

  • Print to RGB PDF from Freehand

    Hi everyone,
    I have been trying to work this out for a while but am only a geologist using the software for drafting purposes. I have Freehand MX on Windows XP, with Adobe acrobat 9 installed. When I print to PDF from Freehand it usually converts the colours to CMYK which is expected, but I would like them to remain RGB.
    Current Freehand settings:
    Output options: All default but I have unticked 'Convert RGB to process'
    Raster Effects: Optimal CMYK rendering is ticked but does not appear to make a difference if unticked.
    Colour Management: Kodak digital science
    Acrobat settings:
    I have tried editing the high quality print job options in acrobat distiller to 'Convert all colors to sRGB' and Document rendering intent to 'relative colorimetric'. RGB is sRGB61966-2.1.
    The only way I have successfully got to an RGB PDF from Freehand is opening the file in Illustrator CS4, and printing to PDF after telling Illustrator that the file is RGB. The conversion is still not perfect, moving text etc... and is a pain in the **** to be honest but if there was a way to go to RGB PDF from Freehand, that would make my day!
    Hope someone can help! Thanks!

    I have found only one way to do this. I'm on a Mac, so it may work differently on a PC. I find I must export to an EPS file and Distill.
    1. FHMX Color Management set to None. This can be a problem if you normally work with color management on. Colors will shift.
    2. Make sure all colors in document, including black and white, are RGB process colors. Use no spot colors, CMYK colors or Pantone library colors.
    3. Export to EPS selecting 'convert colors to RGB' option.
    4. Set Distiller color settings to 'Leave color unchanged'.
    5. Open EPS file in Distiller to create PDF.
    6. Open newly created PDF in Acrobat Pro. Colors will match FH RGB colors.

  • Why does a CMYK printer have RGB ink tanks

    We are having trouble printing nice tomatoe red and bright blue colors using the SG1 paper profile on our 9500MII printer.
    Over the years we have noticed that the RGB ink tanks last forever, we buy the ink sets and eventually end up selling the RGB ink tanks on e-bay.We print mostly photos and occasionally web pages 

    Hi PGordini,
    The red and green inks are enhancement inks only used slightly to make the reds and greens in colors more vibrant.  Since they are only used as enhancements, they are not used nearly as much as the other cyan, magenta and yellow colors.  So we might be able to help figure out what's happening with your colors, please answer the following:
    1.  What is the source of the original image?  Is the image from a digital camera, scanner photo, web page, or other source?  What is the file size of the image?
    2.  Will the image print correctly on plain paper?  I understand the picture will not look as good on plain paper, but what I am looking to determine here is if the same color issues apepar.
    3.  What program was used to print the image?
    4.  Are you able to print the following sample image correctly?
    http://consumer.usa.canon.com/app/images/d_camera/s70_sample2.jpg
    6.  Does the Nozzle Check print correctly?  Follow these steps to print a Nozzle Check from the printer:
         a.  Make sure the printer is powered on and paper is loaded into the sheet feeder.
         b.  Press and hold the RESUME button on the top of the printer until the POWER light flashes twice.

  • Can I print RGB files since they are closer to what is on screen?

    Greetings,
    I have an important question about how to set up my files for print. In school I was taught to work in CMYK or at least convert whatever RGB file I'm working on to CMYK. I'm at work now and the files I am printing are coming out dull (in CMYK). I converted a file to RGB and assigned the RGB 1998 colour space and re printed it. The first CMYK print looked grey and was not vibrant. The new RGB print printed very vibrant and matched the screen colours better than the CMYK. My boss wants me to do the rest of the prints in RGB seeing as it prints with better vibrancy. Also, I am working in Illustrator.
    So my question is: Can I convert all my CMYK files to RGB, send them to the printing company and expect the prints to be vibrant? Or will converting my CMYK files to RGB mess up the printing companies standards?
    RGB prints better, but I was taught to always print in CMYK mode.
    I appreciate the help.
    F
    Actually I'm going to leave the files in CMYK since turning them into RGB may cause colour loss during the final large prints. I will print the presentation files in RGB though.

    Quinonez,
    It sounds as if your printer (driver) in non PostScript, and made for receiving RGB documents which are then converted to CMYK on the printer side.
    When you use it for a CMYK document, it will first convert to RGB then back to CMYK, in other words a double conversion, which ís just about as  bad as it sounds.
    For such a printer, it is better to start off in RGB, but that may land you in the issue of having different bases for print.
    You may get round it with the PS Printer Kit-Q3 to add PostScript 3 emulation printing capabilities, mentioned here (fifth dot in the Features list), which will hopefully give you at least as good colours as you have with RGB:
    http://www.digitalcopier.org/canon-digital-copiers/canon-imagerunner-ir-c3480
    Canon's proprietary UFR II printing technology is standard on every model. That means every Color imageRUNNER system is a true MFP right out of the box, ready to produce volumes of general business documents. Customers also have a choice of two print controller options, imagePASS-J1 or PCL Printer Kit-Q3, for expanded printing functionality. For customers who do not require true Adobe PostScript, the device can also be equipped with the PS Printer Kit-Q3 to add PostScript 3 emulation printing capabilities.

  • RGB or CMYK colour formatting for iPhoto Albums printing.

    Hi.
    I'm putting my first iPhoto Album together. Info given from Apple about what colour format to use for your photos, says to use RGB. While this is corrcet for digital monitors and screens. Mass printing uses CMYK. Any images supplied to a printers in RGB will colour shift when printed in CMYK. No matter what a printer tells you, these colour shifts can be very noticable. I'm an Advertsing Art Director and I've seen the shift that happens.
    I will be checking/colour correting all photos submitted to the iPhoto Album with Adobe Photoshop. And many will very probably undergo some corrections. Be it through levels, curves, hue/saturation, etc. Nothing to anything near an excessive level, but enough to make obvious improvements.
    So I will then be faced with the choice of whether to save the images out in RGB or CMYK.
    Can someone with some technique knowledge, from the iPhoto team, tell me/reasure me why RGB has been specified? And if CMYK wouldn't actually be a preferable colour format to supply in, considering you'll be printing them in CMYK.
    Many Thanks, Jim.

    You're absolutely correct. I was referring to notes make a number of years ago in regards to iPhoto 5  and that RGB was recommended for both books and prints. 
    I was confusing CMYK with Grayscale with Dot Gain 20% profile when stating iPhoto didn't support it which it didn't fully support until iPhoto 9.
    In fact I just ran a test with iPhoto 6, 7 and 8 with a CMYK AND GrayScale files with the following results:
    iPhoto 6 (06): wouldn't import CMYK but did GrayScale.  The grayscale file would only display as a black thumbnail and negative full image.  If the DotGain 20% profile was stipped from it the iamge would dispaly normally.
    iPhoto 7 (08): wouldn't import CMYK but did GrayScale.  The grayscale file would only display as a black thumbnail and negative full image.  If the DotGain 20% profile was stipped from it the iamge would dispaly normally.
    iPhoto 8 (09): neither file would import which is surprising:
    iPhoto 9.2.3 (11):  both imported and viewed normally.
    iPhoto 9.4 (11):  both imported and viewed normally.
    In Oct, 2007 I got an email from Apple support with the following:
    Also as iphoto makes a pdf of the book and then uploads it to keep the size down, it doesn't matter if the pics are RGB or CMYK as a pdf is a closed file. But since it is going through prinergy it has an RGB checker so this most be switched off. It is how the software in prinergy handle's it that causes the washed out affect as it takes the Red Green Blue colours and tries to convert to Cyan Magenta Yellow Black. Now the colour spectrum in printing between rgb and cmyk is quite different looking at a colour wheel will show you. The best way i can describe it is if you have a pantone book which has spot on one side and process on the other you can see a colour difference. Or if you use quark open up the colours and again switch between process and spot.
    BUT ONLY CONVERT PICS TO CMYK IF YOU ONLY INTEND TO ORDER BOOKS. IF YOU INTEND TO ORDER PRINTS IT WILL NEED TO BE RGB.
    Here's how i see it:
    1. Apple doesn't want 2 different versions of the pics floating about as running CMYK through a photomachine (as prints you would order in the high street) will not print correctly.
    2. RGb's going through a CMYK press using prinergy will attempt to convert and produce the washed out effect, or yellowing effect BUT will still print.
    So it will use the 2nd option as it will still produce prints normally and books with a slightly washed out effect. Now to most people in the high street, who will notice a difference?
    I have just received my latest book saved as CMYK pics in tiff format and no washed out effect. What i will say is The quality if still not as good as a print. Now we use a docucolour 5252 at work and the colour quality is better. I wonder how often the machine is calibrated and what colour curve it is set to?
    However, I am unable to import a CMYK file in any iPhoto version until iPhoto 9. Go figure.
    Thanks for the feedback.  Hadn't addressed this particular subject in quite a long time.

  • Is the win 8 driver for the printer photosmart D7360 rgb or CMYK?

    Hi,
    I will be using Lightroom 4.2 (under win 8 64) and will have the monitor and  printer  (HP Photosmart D7360) calibrated by a colormunki photo.  
     When the printer profile is generated by colormunki, depening on the  actual printer driver, they will be either a RGB or CMYK profile.  Apparently, LR 4.2 will only show printer profiles to use if the driver of the printer is RGB .  So if it was CMYK, I wouldn't be able to use the profile for printing in LR.
    Can anyone please tell me if this printer driver is RGB or CMYK?!
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Regards,
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The driver expects RGB data.  The actual color inks in the printer use CMYK but that is handled by the driver, the applications need to send RGB data to the driver.

  • Need fast help printing RGB .pdf to Epson 7880...

    I am forced to print a RGB .pdf from Acrobat.
    And having trouble understanding  how to set the Destination printer/paper/ink profile, here is my best guess but the blue RGB background is considerably lighter than Photoshop Manages Colors and I need to match Photoshop prints.
    Here is my Acrobat CS6 Color Management settings Pro9880_7880 PLPP260 is my Epson profile):
    I don't think I have it because the Epson Advanced Color Settings is giving me CMYK SLIDERS (not "OFF"):
    All filled boxes and text are sRGB, the .pdf is tagged sRGB, Acrobat Object Inspector confirms the RGB profile is embedded.
    I built the original poster in InDesign and Exported PDF (Print).
    Any fast help greatly appreciated (I am on a deadline)...

    Did some more testing.
    Apple's Preview app prints my PDF Source>Print Profile the same as Acrobat 10.1.6.
    But I think I found the point where the problem is occurring in InDesign.
    The screenshot below shows the Photoshop sRGB document (left) with the blue background, 22/56/158.
    The right side shows InDesign blue background (sRGB is Working RGB) with the identical 22/56/158 RGB fill.
    Open the screenshot in Photoshop (use the embedded profile, sRGB), and sample the blue background in each app.
    There is a considerable difference between them that could account for the difference I am complaining about.
    SEEING IS BELIEVING...
    What this tells me is Photoshop is different than InDesign because doesn't display or print my RGB fill the same...
    So I have to wonder which one is actually correct?

  • How do I convert iris print profile to direct to print rgb file on g5

    Good morning, everyone
    I am kind of new at this whole color Management business.
    >my question is what is the best way to convert
    a raw Photoshop PSD file on a MAC G4
    which is profiled to print on an IRIS printer 
    to a direct print RGB file printed from Mac g5 using an Epson 11880.
    > Is there a tutorial about printing profile conversions.
    Please help

    Porefungus,
    Your question isn't very clear, which probably has something to do with being new to color management.  For color management to work, every file has to be "tagged" with a profile, or if not tagged, one needs to be "assumed".  RGB images in Photoshop are usually tagged as sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, or some other variant.  This "tag" gives precise meaning to each individual color in the file.  For example. 225R, 40G, 25B is definitely a red, but what hue, saturation and brightness of red?  It will be translated differently depending on which RGB tag is associated with the file.
    The same is true of printer profiles.  In fact, these profiles (or tags) are like languages.  In order to understand what someone is saying, you have to start by knowing, or assuming, what language they are speaking.  Sometimes you have someone who speaks only English and someone else who speaks only Chinese.  In this case, you need a translator in the middle who is fluent in both.  That is color management.
    If your original file is edited in Adobe RGB (ie, tagged with that profile) and you are sending that file to be printed on an RGB printer (it uses CMYK and other inks, but the data stream being sent to the printer is RGB), you need to have a "profile" for your printer/paper/ink combination that accurately describes what that ink/paper combo is capable of doing.  Then you need a middle man to translate from your source profile (in this case, Adobe RGB) into language that your printer is capable of understanding (ie, printer profile).  That middleman is*L*a*b* color space, the universal translator for ICC based color management.
    It is way too involved to get into in depth on a forum, but I have some articles on color management on my website.  Use the link below and click the links to the left of the page to read them.

    Real World Color Management is a good book on the subject.  There are plenty of other good resources in books and on the internet.

  • Is there a serious flaw in LRs Print Module?

    I have been having no end of difficulty getting a decent print from LR. The more I search for answers the more I find that others have the same issue. It seems to be related mostly to Canon and HP printers. Most Epson users indicate they are getting great prints.
    Multiple combinations of settings have been suggested (all from very helpful folks, thks!) but all attempts have not produced anything remotely close to whats on the screen. PSE3 prints perfectly for me, and other comments indicate that CS2&3 and PSE4&5 also deliver superior results to LR.
    It seems that there a serious problem with LRs Print Module whereby it cannot interpret and convert profiles properly? Has this been officially addressed by Adobe? If so, please direct to where I can find that information, please.
    Dont misunderstand me, LR is a fantastic program and a very powerful RAW workflow tool. Even the Print Module has some really cool stuff, but not so cool when the colours dont come out close to the original.
    Where does one go from here to find a solution to this problem?

    Hi Dave
    I posted this earlier in this thread about CS3 printing problems that Adobe has addressed and I just reviewed it again and noticed some common problems under the "Issues Fixed in this Release" as follows:
    "Color matching is now correct on BPE printers (notably the Epson 3800) when Photoshop is set to handle color management."
    "BPE Printers expect a Profile to be passed when Photoshop manages color. Photoshop now passes the Profile."
    "Epson 2400 driver no longer does double color profiling when PS is handling the color management and we explicitly turn off Epson color management in the Print dialog."
    "Color management will now produce identical results on Intel and PowerPC-based Macs."
    "Correct Page Setup now comes up in the Print dialog when you change printers to print different documents."
    "Page Setup would sometimes show the preferences for a previously selected printer."
    "RGB to CMYK conversion with a specific ICC profile and Adobe(ACE) engine is fixed."
    "Specific types of ICC profiles were being incorrectly converted. Converted images would appear close to black, if not entirely black."
    These appear to be the same issues that are happening in LR that require a similar fix that CS3 required.

  • LaserJet Pro 500 color printing quality

    Hi,
    Last May, I bought the HP LJ Pro 500 MFP 570n printer and since then I have PQ problem.  When printed, the documents are not as what is on the screen:  B&W pictures are green and white; colour pictures are bland and too dark.
    There is no problem when scanning.
    HP provided me with Level 1 Maintenance, meaning changing yellow cartridge, changing the HV power supply, and changing the Transfer Belt.  Driver has been updated and color calibrated.
    According to Level 2 Maintenance Management, located in Bangalore, India, there is no such PQ issue.

    Color calibration may not be the only way to achieve color match output with a printer (irrespective of drivers or operating system). 
    To actually achieve WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) (i.e very close color match) you might need to use an additional software/hardware to perform color calibration between the different devices which are involved in creating, editing & printing the particular image or document (like scanner, camera, printer, monitor etc.)
    If you are looking for nearest color match using the product's inbuilt options, then you may print & use RGB & CMYK Samples (use the information menu from device control panel for printing these samples).
    Use the color mix as given in the samples while editing your documents/images.  Also try to  use the other advanced color match options available using the printer driver properties.

  • Need suggestion on Color Profile settings for printing image

    I am trying to print the image below on a Xerox Docucolor 242.  Im trying to get a better understanding of profiles and all that, which I THINK I do now.
    Under Color Settings in Indesign, I have under Working Spaces, RGB is set to my monitor brand and type and CMYK is set to my exact printer.  I have both of the Color Management Policies set to Off.
    When I print the RGB version of this image, everything looks ok except for a very faded look.  Probably noticed mostly because of all the black background that is used.  When I print the CMYK version of it, it seems to print nice and dark but there is a strong white halo effect showing around both the flames which doesnt show on the screen or the RGB printout.
    Anyone know what settings are causing the faded look in the RGB printout and the halo effects in the CMYK printout?

    As others have said, this is a complex process, but one that is solvable.
    I agree with others the RGB profile should NOT be the monitor but the profile of the original image. For most midrange cameras this will be sRGB or Adobe RGB depending on the settings in the Camera when the images was captured. It is NOT arbitary and choosing the wrong profile will have a large affect on the image.
    The CMYK profile for the printer is more complex. There are two steps in calibrating and profiling a Xerox printer. First the calibration, or linearisation, sets the printer to a known state that can be repeated. This is best done with a spectrophotometer and not the CalorCal software provided by Xerox which uses a known colour chart scanned from the glass of the copier. The glass method of calibration does not calibrate correctly at the black end of the curve actually turns over reducing the available black, and is due to reflections from the glass. Calibration is normally done daily.
    When the calibration has been completed a full ICC profile is created by printing a profile chart of some 2000 colours and reading this with the spectrophotometer. This is only valid for a calibrated printer and for the type of paper used. Different papers will require different profiles. It is a once only operation.
    Another thing to watch out for is how your RGB images are being converted to CMYK. There is a setting both in the Creative suite and in the printer to set the black compensation. What you want to achieve is the same black as in the original image. In the CMYK case this will be printed as a combination of black toner pus a mixture of CMY to incread the density. The profile takes care of this for you.
    Your description of weak blacks suggests that the black me be being printed as pure black toner.

  • Color management, printing with InDesign CS3

    RGB output devices (this includes essentially all inkjet printers from every manufacturer, when driven by the manufacturer print driver). Inkjet printers driven by a PostScript RIP are considered CMYK output devices, and thus this post does not apply to them.
    When printing to RGB output devices from InDesign using the same ICC profiles and settings as in Photoshop, you still get crummy results, in terms of color, that differ from both IDCS2 and other Adobe applications including Photoshop CS3.
    InDesign CS2 previously did all rasterizing and color space conversion in InDesign prior to submitting the print job to the OS. In CS3 this was changed to submit PostScript + colorspace information, which is then supposed to be normalized by the OS. Except that it doesn't work. Mac OS X drops the color space information.
    The work around is to check "Print as Bitmap" in the advanced section of the IDCS3 print dialog. This causes IDCS3 to do the conversion and generate a bitmap prior to submitting to the OS, rather than depending on the OS to do color conversion or rasterizing, which is the default behavior with IDCS2. Thus you can use the same ICC profiles and print driver settings as with all other Adobe applications, if you choose this option.
    Chris Murphy
    co-author Real World Color Management 2e

    Chris,
    First, I am surprised that there has been no response to your post since there were more than a few complaints about the problem in this forum when IDCS3 first came out. So thank you for the solution to this vexing problem.
    But I find some of the language in your post a bit problematic:
    >InDesign CS2 previously did all rasterizing and color space conversion in InDesign prior to submitting the print job to the OS.
    and
    >... rather than depending on the OS to do color conversion or rasterizing, which is the default behavior with IDCS2.
    The second quote seems incorrect on two counts:
    1. It contradicts the first quoted statement.
    2. In my mac IDCS2 (version 4.0.5 build 688) in the options area of the color management pane of the print dialog, the only available choice for the Color Handling pop up is "Let InDesign Determine Colors".
    So the default behavior with IDCS2 seems to be "Let InDesign Determine Colors".
    I am not at all taking issue with the main point of your post, which I welcome wholeheartedly. I just find the second quoted phrase from you post confusing. Can you please clarify.
    Returning to your main point, are there any downsides of using the Print as Bitmap method?
    Thanks,
    Al

  • Print quality - good, bad or indifferent? Your opinions sought.

    Here is the message I wanted to send (gremlins in my keyboard) :-)
    Hi all,
    Well I have followed some of the threads in this list and have seen quite a few comments about LR's print quality. As I am very happy with it I would be interested in finding out exactly what people don't like about the print module and the output quality.
    Maybe I am happy with it because my lack of darkroom experience means I cannot seewhat could be better. Maybe it is because I inprt mainly in B&W with some toning or lith effect grain added. I don't know. I certainly don't print in full blown colour.
    Just to provide some extra information I use a Mac with a 21 inch LCD screen that is calibrated using a gretagmacbeth "Huey", an Epson Photo R800 and a professionally created icc profile for, mainly, Hahemuhle Photo rag paper. A4 is the largest size I print on (for obvious reasons). LR manages the colour through the profile, print resolution is 360dpi and sharpening is High.
    So the question remains what do others find wrong with their prints? Or is it just a case of having to find something to groan about?
    I await your responses
    Andrew.

    I believe that what Morey was originally thinking was that ProPhoto RGB values were being sent to the printer, and the printer had no idea what to do with them. I quote Morey:
    "Never the less, the user needs some way in LR to define what color space is sent to the printer when MBR is enabled. Today it is delivering ProPhotoRGB color space image regardless of the embedded color space..."
    As per Andrew Rodney's comments above, I don't think this is valid. I very much doubt that a printer gets RGB values along with an embedded profile like ProPhoto RGB... essentially telling the printer 'here are the raw RGB values, and here's the color profile to interpret those RGB values, now you're on your own printer... go 'head and convert to the PCS and then to your CMYK space...'. Seems illogical. Seems much more logical that LAB values (as in the LAB values in the PCS) are sent to the printer, and then the printer profile (an output ICC profile) maps values from the PCS to the printer's CMYK values.
    So, it doesn't matter what color space your image is in, as long as your printing software is doing the conversion from the embedded color profile to LAB.
    That being said, I still can't get prints worth a damn from LR... they all come out dark and over-saturated. If they happened to come out dark and *under*-saturated, then I might also be 'fooled' into believing that the image looks like unconverted raw ProPhoto RGB chromaticity values (generally very dull)... but I don't think that's the issue at all.
    There's either something wrong with the way LR and PS are using these printer profiles, or the printer profiles are just bad to begin with. I'm not ready to jump at either conclusion, though the fact that 'Managed by Printer' gives me prints that match my soft-proofed view in PS makes the printer profiles suspect. The fact that 'Managed by LR' OR 'Managed by Printer' BOTH give me the same colors in LR leads me to believe something's wrong with LR, simply because it's not the case in PS, and PS is a much more mature program than LR. Yes, I'm going out on a limb in making that comment :)

  • RGB poor quality compared to CMYK

    I have a vector map which was brought from iStock and changed the color on it. The edited version is in CMYK format and I need both a CMYK version for print and RGB for screen.
    The map needs to be used in PowerPoint and I have tried to zoom in quite far onto a specific country. I found that when zooming the CMYK map was absolutely fine, but I needed to use the RGB version. When I inserted the RGB the quality was significantly poorer than the CMYK one (see maps below) and I can't work out why!
    Unfortunately, the map needs to be in jpeg or png format for PowerPoint, as it won't support EPS's or PDF's. I converted the map to png, which was slightly better but still not as good as the CMYK version.
    Both the RGB and CMYK maps are exactly the same size (document size, file size, dpi etc). I changed the colour profile when converting to RGB (File -> Document Colour Modes -> RGB), when exporting it to JPEG I ensured that RGB was selected. I just cannot work out why the CMYK is perfect and RGB isn't and I've never had this issue before!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you for your responses.
    Mylenium - I dont think it is an issue with PP, I wondered that before and zoomed right in on the jpeg of both the RGB and CMYK in Window's Photo Viewer. As in PP the CMYK zoomed in quite far and looked clear before eventually pixelating, but when I zoomed in on the RGB, it began to blur and pixelate quite soon.
    JET - The idea of the screenshot is good, but it's a shared corporate PP that a number of different people will be using, I'm the only one with access to AI to actually open and screenshot the vector. We really need to have the whole map in there any just move it and crop to the relevant location, if that makes sense?
    I take it that there aren't any settings that I need to change, or should ensure are set? I just can't understand why the CMYK version is ok and does what I need it to do, but the RGB version is awful!
    I also increased the DPI from 300 to 400dpi and it made no difference

    I am printing on a non-PostScirpt, ink-jet printer (LexMark
    X6190). When I print a document, with various combinations of text
    and photos, the colors on the header change. On a correct page, the
    header would be a medium wine red. But, on page with a photo
    (imported JPEG) the header color will shift to more of a light
    brown. And, occasionally, on pages with just text, the header color
    shifts to more of a pinkish value. Text colors (dark blue) do not
    shift from page to page.
    It "feels" like a color calibration problem, and that
    specifically in the red zone. And, LexMark Customer Service (after
    running some tests) assured us it is not a printer/hardware
    problem.
    Any thoughts, suggestions...
    Thanks

    Does your document contains a mix of RGB and CMYK colors. Are
    all of your
    images, text and vector objects using the same color space?
    Does the printer use RGB or CMYK input? What does the printer
    documentation
    recommend?
    What are your FH color management settings?
    When in the Print dialog, does the printer driver offer any
    color
    adjustments? If so, have you used any of them?
