The printed copy was darker in the +red areas and slightly lighter in the yellow green area. A scan into +gimp showed a slight darker red than the original. The specs for the +printer indicate there is no color calibration available. In fact a +check of other Hp printers also shows no color calibration avail. +Thanks, Gary + +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007982.html">[Mageia-discuss] HP Printer +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="007983.html">[Mageia-discuss] HP Printer +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#8003">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#8003">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#8003">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#8003">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
