Hi, I am creating some photoscraps about first communion and after i did some prints i noticed that the backgroundcolor of my picture doesn't match / be the same color as on the screen. What did i wrong, i never had problems before with this? My printer is a canon i865. Any Help is appreciated. Thanks Maria

You would have to caliber your monitor, or you may also use color profiles (edit>color settings) also your images should always be in CMYK for printing, and RGB for web. -LeFrog

If this has just happened, and you have printed from Photoshop before, then check your printer. I had a similar problem, but the printer status said there was about a third of a cartridge left, not that then... there wasn't; it was telling me porkies! As for CMYK, if it's not going to a printers(just on your home inkjet) then RGB is your best bet. One case where you would use CYMK on an inkjet printer would be with a PS(postscript) printer, if you intend to do proofing - that is ckecking the results of a press printing.
