Hello I have a color issue I cant resolve. When I try to print a test photo with my HP it is almost desaturating the colors. The photo is of a bright orange train, and when I print the train the colors wash out.
What settings should I use to handle the colors? Thank You.
Only the orange washes out, or all the colors wash out? How do normal scenes look on that printer? bright, fluorescent oranges are really hard to print on inkjets, as a rule. So are purples, for that matter...
thanks for the reply. looks as if just the orange washes out. The photo is a really complicating photo with lots of shades and the orange is the only color that seems to be giving these problems. I do most of my printing on Kodak Metallic paper through mpix so I don't think it will be a problem for them but I was wanting to print a test shot before ording.

Photographic paper is based on the RGB system and can usually reproduce several million colors. Inkjet printers work with CMYK inks, and have a (theoretical) maximum gamut of about 7000 colors. Many colora, expecially vibrant reds/oranges and purples/blues simply cannot be reproduced using CMYK inks.
