Printer colors are off

[Cassel]

I am not sure if it is a problem or a particularity of the printer but here is something we noticed. My husband wanted to make a CD cover using an old picture in sepia tones. He created the image in with CS5 on his Dell computer. On the monitor, the colors were true sepia/brownish all over. That was fine. When he printed, the lighter parts of the brown was actually printed blue. I thought it might be a monitor callibration problem, so i opened the same image in Paintshop Pro, on my own Acer computer. The image was identical to his, with browns. I printed from my computer, and again, the light brown was printed light blue. Exactly the same.

We know it is not the cartridges being low in ink as it was changed just a few days ago, and hubby said he had noticed that blueish-ness before in other prints (it was the first time he had mentioned it to me).

Our printer is a HP Deskjet 845c. Anyone else has the same observation? Maybe it is just the way that particular make of printer works? or maybe there is a way around it? Either way, i would appreciate any information anyone could share.

Thank you.

Cleaning and alignment sometimes fixes that.

Look into the properties and select the correct setting for sepia. I have done that with some HP printers.

Sounds like a bad cartridge but if you've had the same problem with two cartridges its probably the printer.
