Printer colors

[knn]

HI guys.

Does anyone know how to adjust or why it is so far from each other when it comes to screen color and printer color?

I have some graphics that i need to print with a lot of green in it, but when printing on my own printer it comes out light blue/baby blue. When printing at work it has the same colors as on the screen - the green color.

It's anoying and i cant seem to find a solution. Can anyone help?

 

Printer: Brother MFC-J6930DW

In printer preferences you can set the printing quality to 'High' (which has better quality colors, but uses more ink), but from experience I can say this is just 'a thing' with Brother printers. They are not known for deep colors, but do have cheaper cartridges, so it's kind of a trade-off.

What monitor do you have as well? How do you have the settings calibrated?

The monitor is an ASUS PB287Q

I dont know how it is calibrated or how i do it, but i think it is the printer that needs to be adjusted in some way, since that when I did the graphic at work, the monitor and printed paper was the same colors. My own monitor shows the same color as well but my printer makes it another color.

Stupid question but is your colour cartridges new or used? If they are used one of them could be gunked up with dry ink thats why its not printing correct colour.

They are kind of new. I have not used them very much. Maybe it would be an idea to check if they are the problem.

The settings are set at the best printing quality already. I really wish i knew what you are telling me now before i bougth it, since the deep colors are kind of importent to me!
