Re: Questions about photo printing from Designer Pro
Hi Dave,
CMYK is for colour separation, used in commercial printing. Your inkjet uses the RGB format, and I think you should convert any CMYK photos to RGB before printing. I’ve found that once they are saved in CMYK format though, they often look different, even when converted back to RGB, so if possible they should be RGB from the beginning.
They may look okay on screen because pixels are pure light, as opposed to ink on paper which only reflects some light back at you.
Also, you might want to check the inks and calibrate the printer, to make sure everything is aligned properly.
