Default Re: printing with epson cx6000: colors not as vivid

This is a constant question. people expect to see what they have on their screen to be what they want on their shirts. When you go to print anything you change the variables of the prints. You have options such as the type of print you want. Text, text photo/ photo/ even best photo. As you select one of those the printer places more ink on the paper or surface you are printing. When you print a shirt the cloth absorbs the ink and again changes the picture. You could print a picture of what you have on the screen on a piece of white paper and then on gloss photo paper and you will have 2 different pictures even though your picture on the screen is what you thought you were printing. The difference is the absorption of ink. So what I am saying is it is not the picture it is the type of surface that changes the picture. Lou (ex epson demo rep)
