The photos, Adobe Photoshop CS4 are CMYK.
The monitors are calibrated using Pantone Calibration.
When I open the image file I see on both computers/ on both monitors (two Hp graphic computers) the portrait photo. The skin tones are normal in every respect. Everything viewable on the the monitors is perfect. Ready for printing.
The company sends out the images to a professional print service. We print out our images for catalogs and posters. The printed image that is returned from the printers is way off. Nothing like what we have viewing on our calibrated monitors. The flesh tones are either too brownish in one example; in another example, flesh tint slightly green. This is very unexpected.
How can I produce a final Photoshop image – so that what I am viewing will print exactly as I see it. What I get back from the professional print service is completely different than what is viewable in the Adobe application.
To test the images in house I printed out on three different printers the CMYK images. From three differnt printers the sets of images from those printers were all different.
How can I achieve consistancy?
Thanks John M
