Colors in the Printout Differ from Those on the Display

The color properties for the display device you are using have not been adjusted correctly.: Solutions

Display devices such as computer screens have their own display properties. If the display is unbalanced, the images are not displayed with proper brightness and colors. Adjust the properties of the device. If you are using Mac OS, also perform the following operation.

Access the print dialog. Select Color Matching from the pop-up menu, and then select ColorSync.

The display device is reflecting external light.: Solutions

Avoid direct sunlight and confirm the image where an appropriate illuminance is assured.

The display device has a high resolution.: Solutions

Colors may differ from what you see on smart devices such as smart phones or tablets with high-resolution displays.

The display device and the printer have a different process of producing colors.: Solutions

Colors on a display are not quite identical to those on paper because the display device and the printer have a different process of producing colors. Adjust the color properties so that the colors are identical.
