Not printing true color!

[GoldCoastGidget]

I insert the picture I created into a MSWORD document in order to size properly to fit the tiles I make.  Suddenly the printed image is a different color than what I wanted.  I need to match school colors and this makes doing this difficult.  Help!  Football season will be here soon and I need to be ready!

Thanks.

Hi! @GoldCoastGidget, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

I understand your printer is not printing in true colors.

Don't worry I will try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Have you tried making a copy from your printer do you have the same issue?

Please try the steps recommended below.

Print the print quality page (LCD control panel)

Change the color theme for a print job
