Hi all.

Im having another problem lol

If i print a photo, it comes out a bit light but i can print colours and text and it comes out fine.
So why is it the photos come out lighter?

I use ricoh 3300 and use power driver

Any help would be great

Thanks in advance!

Are the photos straight from camera - or are they facebook/web images?.

Also - what times are you pressing at?

Hi john, the images can be from a camera or web

Any ideas?

180
for 180 seconds

The only time I had problems with images being to light was when I was under cooking them, but your times seem OK - aslong as the press is acurate.

hmm cheers mate, its doing my head in!

some programs have different printer driver settings according to the content of the image.
I know that Corel Draw looks at the complete image content and applies various conversions accordingly, If you are using Corel then hunt around in some of the advanced print settings until you find a flow chart, then experiment with the different input and output settings until the same thing happens with mixed images as happens with just pics the way you like them.
Other programs probably behave similarly
it is always healthy to rummage around the advanced settings menu's, - just be v careful what you change, and make a note of it!

If he's using the powerdriver, and its set up correctly, there should be no need to hunt for the correct settings - I'd check whether you have the powerdriver set up correctly and have taken coreldraw back to factory settings

Cheers guys, im using photoshop elements and the power driver proper;y installed so god knows what im missing lol
