Printed colour does not match screen colour
The blue and yellow colours you see on the monitor
appear purple and deep green on the printed sheet.
What can cause this difference in colour?
The methods used to produce colour on a monitor and
reproduce printed colours are different. The colour
displayed on a monitor can be affected by the operation
environment, the lightness or strength of the colours and
how the monitor colour has been adjusted. For this
reason, the colours of an image on a monitor display
cannot be reproduced in a printed image with exactly the
same colours.
However, if there are extreme differences in the colours
displayed on the monitor and the colours in the printed
image, you should check the following items.
