Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
Looking for help regarding what you see on your computer screen for color quality vs what actually prints out. Has anyone ever created a great looking design or graphic - only to print it and find that your printer doesn't print colors as you hoped?
If I print with regular defaults, the colors aren't too bad but still not as I had hoped. For example, a nice halloween orange prints as more of a gold - and lime green prints out closer to a kelly green (darker green than lime).
I can't afford to pay for an HP expert (an additional service they offer).
I'm currently using the HP Officejet J5780 All-in-one printer, fax, scanner, copier.
When I select the Photo quality option in the print properties that orange turns out grey and I still have the same problem with the lime green looking a bit darker. The prints were on regular copy paper - not transfer paper.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance!

That could be part of the problem. I've never been impressed with the cheap all in one units. They do an OK job at each task. For professional prints you need a dedicated, quality printer made more for graphics than office printing.
Yet another color mismatch question
