Colours not printing true

[Sherryl]

Hi, I have just made up a calendar in Publisher 2003 with my own photos, and
printed on my new Canon 4300. I have found that a certain range of colours
(the oranges) come out very false and of poor quality. I printed out the
photo normally and all was well. I have heard that Publisher can cause
trouble with colour- is there some fix or update that would correct this?

Just because you see a particular color on your screen doesn't mean that
your printer will produce that same image. And different printers will print
the colors differently.

You need to properly calibrate your monitor.

Then you need to calibrate your printer.

Is your publication set to print process colors or rgb?...big difference in
output.

Specifically where do the colors print "right"?
