Can someone advise. I am trying to print out an item with the approximate color of turquoise. It looks like a fine turquoise on my screen. However when I print out the document with the HP color laser jet 3500, the color comes out as a navy blue. Not the same shade at all. What do I need to do to get the right shade. I've tried printing out samples of different shades of blue and green but the only thing I've been able to manage so far is to make it a type of green which looks closer to the turquoise but is still not the same. Getting precision color seems to be a real hassle. |

Thank you,
I forgot to mention that even though I created the colored item in Photoshop 5, I didn't print the item with Photoshop. Rather, I copied the item and pasted it into Microsoft Word 7 and then printed it there because I felt it was easier to create a table and position items better with Word. I don't know that Photoshop 5 allows you to position items so precisely. Maybe it does. I just did it that way because it was just easier from what I know how to do with Word 7. I don't really recall anything where Photoshop has precise placements like tables do in Word. And I don't recall that colors would come out different when Photoshop items are printed with Word. |
