markwill2112 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have created a small header image in Photoshop. It consists of a background with a number of layers using blue and grey (the grey is RGB: 202, 202, 202). I placed the image in InDesign and then converted to press quality PDF for printing. In InDesign I have also created a number of shapes (rectangles with rounded corners) which I have made the same grey colour (202, 202, 202). On the screen everything looks the same grey, however, when I convert to a PDF and print, the grey in the image I placed from Photoshop looks a completely different grey colour to the rectangle shapes I created in InDesign with the same background colour. The grey colour I am using for everything is 202, 202, 202. I have checked Adobe Bridge colour synching and it says my creative suite colours are synchronized using 'Europe General Purpose 2' Why when I print are there completely different shades of grey?

virtual Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Check the colour settings for your printer, they might be set to a different standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
