I don’t do a lot of home printing.
The mother in law bought a new printer and asked (commanded) me to take away her old printer HP Photosmart 8150.
She gave me a bag with HP premier photo paper and some spare ink cartridges.
Out of curiously I installed it on my PC and tried to print a few snaps, just 6x4s
Here’s what happened: when printing from DPP or PS CS4 I selected the colour profile of the printer in the preferences.
The resultant prints were horrible, with sickly, inaccurate colours.
When I selected no profile in the preferences they were exactly as they were on the monitor.
Anyone know why this is the case, it seems like I'm having to disregard a bit of the "colour calibrated workflow" in order to get good prints.
