guys just a question bout printing my renderings.
whenever i print my renders, output doesn't match the render on the screen. most of the time, printout becomes too yellow.
I use CS4 for printing my renders.
TIA guys.

in my humble opinion lang! nangyari sa akin to brow ang ginawa ko pagkatapos kun maiprint yung perspective ko, nag-adjust ako sa screen
base on the output of my printing at sa tingin ko na medyo malapitlapit
na tingnan stop na ako! ]
then final print na! ito yung simple na paraan sa pag calibrate nang monitor on manual style in my own thoughts lang.
pero kun meron kang calibrator no problem!
sana nakatulong ito sayo! thumbsup

check the STATUS and cartridge of your printer /plotter ...
the other colors (cyan, magenta and black) might be near empty ..

if so.. then replace the cartridge or calibrate your PRINTER

This is the problem brought about by differing COlor Profiles used by the graphic board (for viewing in your screen) and Photoshop for (working in your screen) and the printer (for eventually printing what you see in the screen)

First, check what color profile is being used by your graphic board, do this by right clicking the deskstop, go to the colors section, and see the entry there. If this profile is the one you'd like to use:

Open Photoshop, go to Edit>Color Settings>And change the setting to Monitor Color, and the default monitor color profile will be selected.

If you are successful, what you'll see in the screen from now on will be the same as what you'll see in when you work in PS. Read moe on color profiles for PS. Including how to embed the color profiles in the images.

The final step is to make sure the printer finds the same profile when it prints the file...

This is the reason why it is always best to learn color management and calibration so that you do not end up guessing and compensating for the color errors of the printer, PS or your monitors.
