I know the printer will print slighly different that what the screen show. Is there anything I can do to make this better. Im trying to make labels for my honey jars. The background is a honey comb I got off the internet then Im putting text on top of that. The comb bleeds through and makes the text hard to read so I build the text in a new window and color the background as close as I can get to the honeycomb then use the lasso to select just the text and drag it to the comb. It looks good on the screen but when it prings the text background color is quite a bit off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

You need to create a profile for your monitor and your printer. Monaco or Colorvision are what most people use; they are rather expensive. Jim

Short of learning color management, which includes buying a device to calibrate your monitor, I would suggest you read your printer manual and understand the different settings for the printer driver.

If you experiment you will find a setting and a modification of your image that will print the way you want it to.
