I have dealt with 4 colour production for 13 years, I use a 27" iMac photoshop/indesign etc, calibrated screen using my normal printer, a Xerox 7500 and have never had any issues with colour profiles. What I see on my screen is what I get from the printer.
However, I have been trying to set up my new Ricoh 3110, have downloaded, from what I can see, all the relevant drivers and profiles and followed the set up settings. When I print, the image is dull in comparison to my screen and the colours are not vibrant at all.....can anyone tell me where I might be going wrong?
Thanks
Ellie

press it on something and colours will appear. aper is only to transfer image to substrate. is not final.
