Printing with Canon printer, colors do not match at all... Help

Hello there, I have a Canon pixma 4300, every time I print somthing with a logo or a picture on it, the colors do not match.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Is there a new driver or a solution to this problem, this, seems to me, is really abnormal.

This is a common problem, and it is very hard to get a complete colour match, between any printer and the screen, due to the differing nature of the way both create their colours.
First off, you should check that your printer is properly calibrated with the correct ICC profile, and make sure your screen is also calibrated. Fur more info on this there is a PDF which explains it in more detail (Written for Tiger, but the principles are the same with Leopard.
http://images.apple.com/pro/pdf/ColorMgmtinTiger.pdf
sRGB would be a good starting point, as most printers can handle this profile. Also, you did not mention how different the colours were? If for example yellow is printing an off yellow/brown or yellow/green, then it is definately the colour profile, if it is printing yellow as red, well then that is something else entirely.
Hope this helps, as chances are, the printer is not faulty, it just isnt set up right. Also, your images stand a better chance of printing correctly if they are created in the CMYK colourspace, not RGB. Especially true of logos.

Printed colors do not match those on screen

I understand that display colors can vary greatly from those printed. I created a file in CS5 at 355 ppi from text and shapes, no photos. The colors are not printing the way I expect. Just checking to see if there might be a setting I may have wrong? I am using a Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer to print on Epson Ultra Premium Luster Photo paper. The colors are printing much darker than displayed on my Mac.
My settings:
Profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Under Convert to Profile in the Profile section: Working RGB - sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Thanks for any tips.

Stan,
If your final output is inkjet print, it is better to work in a larger RGB space, like AdobeRGB. CMYK is specifically for four-color process press... like for magazines. Most all desktop inkjet printers are RGB devices: they use RGB numbers to print, not the CMYK info. If you are not intimately involved in the commercial offset printing world, stick to AdobeRGB (or even sRGB) as a working space. You can soft-proof to your destination (the Epson paper you mention) to see any color change.
So, with that in mind, follow the steps outlined in the Epson guide and Russell Brown's video I posted and see if choosing the correct settings in printing dialog makes a difference. (Also look into buying a calibration device. Proper Color Management begins with a good monitor profile.)
please post back.

EDIT
I am saving as a .PDF and printing from MAC OS Preview.
Just saw that. Do you have the correct paper chosen in the Print Settings? I don't have much experience trouble shooting Color Management problems printing from Preview. What happens when you print from Reader, Acrobat or Photoshop?

With color management, color picker current color does not match canvas color

What gives here with color picker in CS3?
RGB doc
using color management/profiles
View>>proof color using my Epson RGB printer profile
create box
double click fill box in palette box to view color picker
pick color from spectrum area
close color picker
want to change color of box
double click fill box to view color picker
NOW current color does not match color on canvas, subtle but vexing color shift. So how can I use current color to pick a new color on the canvas is always different.
here's an in illustration of the problem:

Rob, here's screenshot of Acrobats Output Preview Object Inspector. You can download my PDF here - //www.fileswap.com/dl/Q1CzzOzEqt/
I'm not sure if CM was assigned to document when created or afterwards. In Color Settings preferences is stated Fogra 39 (if it matters - document was meanwhile saved and opened...). Are there other options to assign workspace to exsisting document?
Peter, this is not the case. Placed image has embeded same color profile as is working space of document in ID. I tried the same with sRGB image placed in same ID document and compared it to PS but color shift (greenish) is present - it looks exactly the same.
Guys, I can't tell you how happy I am to have you help me with this terrible and nerve-wracking problem.

How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Cell background colors are not showing in preview - help? - DW4

Hi,
I created a horizontal table for my menu bar, and gave each cell a different color by creating a separate class for each with background image - image is a block of color created in Photoshop. In design mode they look they way I want, but in preview (Safari) the colors don't show up at all - the whole area is gray, and all I see is the text for each cell. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, is there a better way I can set this up to have different colors for each button?
Thank you!

Color does not match printing in preview

Printing a photo directly from iPhoto ('08) does not match the color on screen. Using an Epson 2200.
The colors are dark and saturated. Maybe the problem is setting color management in the advanced dialog box- I have it set to: "No Color Adjustment" as per Epson.
Is there a setting that is recommended? I can't find any help in help.
I'm well aware of color management problems printing via Photoshop with the Epson printer.

Hi McJPP,
You're using one of the built in color setups for Photoshop, so no big deal there. Since you have your monitor properly calibrated and profiled, ColorSync shouldn't be having an issue handling the difference between the image's color space and your monitor's. Questions though. Is the image RGB? Does it have an embedded profile? If so, is it Adobe RGB 1998? I'm assuming that it does since that's your working RGB color space in Photoshop.
The grab on the left is the preview copy using:
By preview, do you mean the Preview button on the print dialogue box at the bottom left next the the PDF button? I'm guessing yes since I can produce the same kind of result. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try.
I took a simple grayscale image and made it RGB. I then did the same thing you did. Left image is Photoshop handling color for an Epson Stylus Pro 4000, using a profile I made for a DuPont paper. Then clicking the Preview button when the print dialogue comes up. Right image is letting the printer handle color and clicking Preview. The result is below.
Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong. Photoshop (more accurately, ColorSync) is showing you what it had to do to the pixel color values to adjust for how the inks perform on the chosen paper. The end result, with proper profiles, is that the printed image looks like what you see in Photoshop regardless of how it shows in Preview mode. The Epson driver doesn't make this visible cue even though you've turned ColorSync on there, so it simply shows you the same thing you see in Photoshop, even though it's making the same adjustment to the pixel color values.
You should get essentially the same final output no matter which way you print the image.

Printer colour does not match screen colour in Adobe 9, but does with Adobe 7

I have just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. My colour documents look
different when printed from 9 than when they do printed from 7 even when the same document is printed on the same printer from the same computer. What settings do I need to change in 9 so that the documents print out the same? For example, in one document I have dark blue sky which is fine in 7, but prints out as deep purple sky in 9. On screen it is dark blue when viewed in both 9 and 7. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks

The same document prints our perfectly from Adobe 9 on another colour printer so the problem is obviously between Adobe 9 and the original printer. The original printer is due to be replaced shortly so we will not try to resolve this issue. Thanks for your help.

Printer output does not match screen

Photoshop CC (recently installed)
Windows 7
Canon i960 printer
Samsung SyncMaster 2494 monitor
I am having problems getting acceptable printing results. All prints are highly magenta.
I have tried both printer and PS color management and all the available i960 profiles.
I have also run all the printer maintenance tests.
The screen has been profiled with Spyder 2 Pro
This printer has worked fine in the past with PS CS5
I am out of ideas. Help!

OK romad, the memory problem isn't the Macs but it could be the printers. I have seen this many years ago.
You could also create a test page with one long line from top to bottom and print it. Does the problem still show?
Does it happen if you print a full page photo from i.e. iPhoto directly.
Do you still have AW on this machine? can you paste the content of your problem page into an AW page and print? What is the result?
Somehow we need to do tests to pin down from where the problem is emanating from.
I agree that AW does have a lot that isn't implemented in iWorks, but there are other features that are much better in Pages.

IWeb photos color do not match with the same posted on the internet

Hello,
my question is about the quality of the images posted by iWeb on the internet.
Yesterday, I sucessfully published a simple page with two images, and the color of them was faded compared to the images showing on the iWeb application.
I used the 'Adjust' panel to increase the color, and after published again, but althought the images were more expressive, they still did not match the equivalent in iWeb application, continued not so vivid.
What might that be?
More or less a month ago, I also published images and the colors matched perfectly with the material seen in the iWeb application.

I have placed two comparison examples in my file sharing folder.
Maybe it might help explain what I am experiencing. The differences may be subtle but they exist.
For my file sharing the address is
http://homepage.mac.com/hito_/Menu4.html
Maybe this might help.
These images were transported from iPhoto
