Printer - Colours

[Shez]

Hi,
I have just joined this forum and this is my second query already.
When I print my graphics In Photoimpact 5 the colours are not great rather bland in fact. I cannot give a greeting card with the graphic done in PI5 because of it's poor quality. I don't have this problem with printing graphics in any other software. Any advice/ solutions would be greatly recieved - thanks Shez

Try calibrating the gamma setting of PI in the preferences box. Adjust it so that the top and bottom gray shades are as close as possible.

Shez, I don't use PI for print graphics, so I'm no help. Do understand though, that PI 5, while very good, is at least 4-5 years old and has been improved dramatically. Latest ver is PIXL or PI 8.5.

You might want to post this question at a PI specific board such as Stephanie's.
Do a search for bulletin board and photoimpact and I'm sure you'll find a better place to ask.
