[opensuse] Discrepancy colors screen/printer
Is there a method to eliminate/reduce the discrepancies between the colors I see on my screen and the results on printed paper? Tia Andre den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The printer and the screen use different methods to display colors, therefor not all the colors that you can see on the screen can be produced by your printer. A perfect fit between printer and screen is not possible. Anyway, there are methods to adjust the way colors are displayed/printed with color profiles. I'm not familiar with their use, but if you ask google for "color profile", "ICC profile", "color management" you should get the needed information.

One way is to install KolorManager for KDE or Gnome Color Manager for Gnome and you will be able to adjust screen calibration with ICC profiles. Calibration is stored inside most of the ICC monitor profiles. Beside of display calibration, there is desktop colour correction possible with a ICC profile [1]. You can search on www.opensuse.org for CompICC [2]. This plugin adds ICC capabilities to the Compiz window manager. That would be a good start. For printing you can eigther manually calibrate your driver and try to improve the output. But thats difficult in my experience. Or you search for a ICC profiling service and get the profile from there. ICC profiles can be used with PhotoPrint, which has ICC profile support. In the future we hope, that vendors will deliver printer ICC profiles for their devices and install them on the system. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management oyranos-cms.blogspot.com oy@freenode#openicc [1] http://oyranos-cms.blogspot.com/2011/09/colour-correction-concepts-for-monit...
