FerdinandvNtP Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hi When I print the same document (with pictures embedded and colorprofile ProPhoto) again the colors are different... I use a special made colorprofile in the printersettings (see attachments), for the rest I use the same. MacOs 13.4.1, Publisher 2.1.1 i hope someone can help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two print options screenshots appear unclear to me: The first shows "Color Settings: Off (No Color Adjustment)" while the second shows ColorSync + your custom profile. Also I wonder what is meant / expected to get modified when you print with a colour adjusting profile. – Can you choose this custom profile for a Softproof adjustment within Affinity (but without using softproof for printing) to compare the results? Does the print dialog preview show the colours as in the .afpub layout window, and as you expect them to be printed?

FerdinandvNtP Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hi the setting 'color settings off' means the color adjustment to be done in the printer, and I want the color profile. The softproof gives the same color as the good print (top) The thing is that I get different colors when printing the same file with the same adjustments. Thanks!

So, do I understand right that you got correct / expected colours printed before? I am confused by not knowing what "again" refers to in your first post: 9 hours ago, FerdinandvNtP said: When I print the same document (with pictures embedded and colorprofile ProPhoto) again the colors are different... 'Print (…) again' … or … 'again different colours' ? Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaso Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hm, hard to judge if I did not experience this. My guess would be the option settings haven't been absolutely identical. Maybe it helps, to export (e.g. as PDF) and print from a different app (with a possibly little different print dialog window).
