I have a LaserJet Pro 400 color M451nw, and whenever I print any type of blue, it prints really dark.  Tonight, the blue on my monitor was a royal blue, and the blue that printed was almost black. I lightened the blue on the graphic, but it's still not royal blue.  The program I'm using is MS Publisher 2013.

 

Is there a way for me to adjust the cyan cartridge settings so it won't print so dark?

 

Thanks,

SHJ
