It can be frustrating to have a great image on your Windows PC, but find that when you print out a paper copy the colours aren’t the same. There are a number of reasons this can happen – a badly calibrated monitor or printer, the type of paper you use, using old or incorrect printer drivers, or simply too many colours in the original image – but there are a few steps you can take to remedy the situation or at least improve it.
Here are the ways you can make the colours of your printed images match those you see on your PC or laptop display.
