Problem Cause The colors on the printed page do not match the colors as they appear on the screen. The colors on your computer monitor might differ from the device output. The printer driver might affect color printing. If extremely light colors or extremely dark colors on screen are not printing, your software program might interpret extremely light colors as white or extremely dark colors as black. The media might not meet HP specifications. The finish on the printed color page is inconsistent. The media might be too rough. Solution Select Screen Match in the Color tab of the printer driver. Try printing from a different program or one of the other printer drivers. For example, if you are using the PCL 6 printer driver, try the PS printer driver. If possible, avoid using extremely light or extremely dark colors. Use a different paper, such as high-quality paper that is intended for color laser printers. See Media specifications. Use a smooth paper or print media, such as a high-quality paper that is made for color laser printers. Generally, smoother media produces better the results. See Media specifications.
