When I print a file created with Photoshop CS2 (a web-optimized 128-color gif), the print-out looks VERY different from what is on the screen. I don’t think this is a Photoshop problem, but I’m stumped.
You can see the file at: http://bruff.com/rrtest.gif
The image is a green line with a thin black border. Regardless of the program used to view the file, the green line has two obvious shades of green. However, when I print this from any app (e.g., Photoshop, Word, IE, Picture Viewer, etc.) the green appears to be just one shade. I’ve tried printing this on a new HP 4650DN and a less-than-a-year-old Lexmark 810 printer.
I am really quite stumped. I have certainly seen times when images appear different on the screen (e.g., trimmed to web colors), but I’ve never seen an entire color lost on printed output.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Steve
