Quick question:
Has any of you have had any problems with printing images and coming way over contrast. I swear to whatever that I don't recall doing anything to the system ( windows printing via adobe acrobat) and all the images are saturated beyond acceptable,TODAY, yesterday I recall printing fine, and have been all day with this issue. I tried reducing ink layout and vividness but although the result is flatter colors are way off ( like dark green turning black). have tried with two systems and both give similar results.
As an example this rgb value prints black: r:36 g:88 b:14
if anyone has found this problem before, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. this is weird. a client brought this imagge
and when I run it through the brother file output i get this effect.
If there is someone that could repeat the experiment and tell me if they get the same results, It would VERY helpfull.

.Well I guess this is normal since no one showed the least astonishment to the color distortion. The problem might not be a problem after all but a matter of how the gamma of the image is interptreted by the fileoutput preview, who knows, but in the same day I got two very anoying designs where I couldn't achieve color accuracy and the right contrast to light ratio. so if anyone reads this topic again I would like to ask how do you deal whit color matching?.
Scenarios such as paper designs, cutouts of magazines, etc..do not have profiles and the scanner is another factor to consider, so do you color correct all images? have you reached the point of not adjusting unless the client is very specific about color fidelity? creating a photoshop/gimp script could help but there is something about atomatic color correction that makes me feel uneasy leaving it to the computer.....
to mk162. printing a pdf from acrobat should not have any impact on color, if the profile is the correct one, it should not matter where you print from, that is the whole point of the brother not needing color managgging and having it done on the printer.
