I've tried many things. I've color calibrated four times in succession, cycled power on the printer, turned the printer off an unplugged it for several minutes, and adjusted color until I'm cyan in the face -- no matter what blue I choose (ok, within a range, but one I would consider wide and easily perceptible on a monitor), it seems as if it snaps to this vaguely greenish blue when printing -- even when there is no green in the RGB setting. I've printed from Illustrator and Word -- no different from each other. Again, my monitor and the programs display all these blues distinctly differently, but the printer renders them so similarly that they might as well be the same color.
Yes, I know my printer is a CMYK printer, but it didn't help if I created a graphic with a CMYK profile. And according to HP, sRGB is an agreed upon standard for printing to their printers.
This has happened to me in the dim past with a different HP printer, and as I recall at some point it just started rendering properly again. I HATE THAT! Nor do I have the time for this one to come around to my way of rendering blue.
Does anyone out there have any good suggestions for addressing this?
THANK YOU! Kim
