What’s Your Preference?

I was printing a photograph for a friend on their printer and was presented with this print.

The red fringe around the green leaves just showed in the print. It does not show on the monitor. The color spaces are in agreement and was printed with the software controlling color management and with the printer controlling color. Just not at the same time.

Both prints exhibit the fringe. Checked the nozzles and it will print other photos fine. Even those with green leaves. The printer has the latest driver updates. And the software has the latest also.

Sorry for the poor photo as I only had my phone with me.

Any suggestions as to why this would happen?

You have a set up you like, but what happens when you set your software to do colour management for display and printing using your printers icc/icm profile. Other things spring to mind your image is it tagged with a colour space or embedded and is it loaded as such? Probably not as its displaying properly. Another thought if your printer is managing colour and usualy only converts srgb to cmyk and your sending argb the numbers may nog add up and you get funky colours. Are both images in the samer colour space and labelled as such? So ur printer is printing argb as argb and not argb as srgb?

Have you also tried to soft proof to check none of the colourd are out of gamut and to check what the profiles are doing.

Hope the suggestions help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think he may have color management issues that I haven't checked for yet. I brought the photo file home and printed it on my printer. Came out just fine. So I will have to go back to his set up and check the things you wrote. Thanks again.
