Print-outs are dark
When I look at a JPEG image on the screen, it looks just fine. Bit when I
print it, the image is too dark. I have tryed other JPEG images but the result is the same. Any help is appreciated. |

At a guess, the gamma settings between the screen and printer are probably different. And, no, I have no idea how to change them. :-) -- ArarghMail003 at [drop the 'http://www.' from -] http://www.arargh.com BCET Basic Compiler Page: http://www.arargh.com/basic/index.html To reply by email, remove the extra stuff from the reply address. |

Check to see if you have an *.icm for your monitor/printer setup. Also check to see what you have set within the printer properties/setup for its various settings. Often a user sets their screen to "bright and lighter contrast" than the printer is set for, and gamma higher than 1.0 [within the video adapter advanced settings] and/or adjusted the hue/color/saturation levels. You can download one of the old monitor test screens [like the old TV set screens] and make sure you haven't "bleached" the screen or otherwise messed up the normal viewing.

... When I look at a JPEG image on the screen, it looks just fine. Bit when I print it, the image is too dark. I have tryed other JPEG images but the result is the same. Any help is appreciated. Suddenly happened or always been darker? Only JPEG's, what about .BMP's? What about the printer's Test Page (the coloured Windows logo on the top corner)? Assuming not an *.icm issue then try printing blocks of the three primary printing colours (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) using Paint and see if any one colour prints incorrectly. Or Google for Nokia's Monitor Test and "Print Screen" the main screen. I guess that you are using the OEM's ink for your printer and not cheaper substitutes. Mart |

Could the printer's driver affect the lightness/darkness of a print-out?

Unlikely, unless you are not using the correct win98 driver for your printer. But answers to my previous questions might shed more light (or darkness g) on things particularly if you are not using the original printer manufacturers ink. Cheap ink *may* result in unexpected results. Why do ask if the printer's driver could cause the problem? Sounds like you know more than you are telling us. Mart "b11_" wrote in message ...

: Could the printer's driver affect the lightness/darkness of a print-out? Yes, not the "driver" as you mean it, but a SETTING in the *control panel* /of/ the printer driver - which is the GUI of the printer set up controls. RTFMOHF. -- The arrows are faster than rodents! - t. |
