    You should get a Spyder--they're a way to colour calibrate your monitor so that what prints out looks the same as what you see on your screen. The cheapest ones start around $80.

    that's because of fact your printer in fact does an interpretation of the colour you have chosen to print. Your computer screen's colour can selection a great deal only via turning up/down the brightness or assessment. The printer can not interpret one hundred% of those sort of differences. This difference is a gamma difference. some years in the past, I had a computer screen that got here with a application that should enable gamma correcty via conserving a colour card as much as the reveal and adjusting extremely some computer screen / video card controls to journey the cardboard as heavily as available. verify with the two the producer of your computer screen and your video card to make certain if there is that this way of application on your hardware.

    YOUr printre and your screen might need calibrating. Read the manual for both.

    It is most likey that the printer is off colour so I would start by running a callibration on your printer, but LCD monitors are no great at getting colours right either.

    It could be that your monitor uses and RGB spectrum and reflection of light, and the printer uses a CYMK colour spectrum and the absorption of light.

    What you see on the printer is never going to match what you have on the screen.
