color print issue
i recently noticed that when i print models or color prints from solidworks my colors don't match what i have on my screen. i.e. blues are purple, reds are much lighter etc. grays & blacks are fine though. when i create pdf's and print them then the colors are correct. it's not a real big deal since we mostly use pdf's anyway, but check prints (& quick pretty pic's for the boss) don't show true to screen. i checked my video drivers and they are current & solidworks approved. we even got a in new hp color laserjet ps printer yesterday (the old one's scanner went out) and it didn't make any difference. has anyone else noticed this or have any suggestions for a cure.
thanks

have checked the settings on the new printer? if the issue started after the purchase of the printer, i would it is the culprit.

i thought it was the old printer. i also uninstalled all of the old printers/drivers & installed the new printer drivers to make sure.
i dug out some old prints that i did at home that are the same way. i used to work for this company part time at night from home. i used this computer and my personal printers. i created pdf's but never printed them at home, just emailed them to the office so i never noticed before.
