Here are a few steps to resolve this: Step 1: Ensure the correct printer settingsįirst of all, stop printing using the ‘photo printing’ setting! Let me explain. Sometimes if you have a darker design, the detail in the output can look relatively poor. Now we’re printing on icing here folks, this isn’t retina display! Sometimes your customers may need to be reminded of this too. You may want to put a note on your website / Facebook page explaining that colours don’t always match perfectly, since the inks are edible! Bonus tip: Manage your customers expectations Remember to keep experimenting with different inks and suppliers – and speak to others on their experiences.
If you’re seeing this consistently it may be worth looking at other ink suppliers. There is a chance that the colours could be off as a result of a poor quality ink batch. Using the printer property settings (Print> Properties > Main > Color/Intensity > Manual> Set), adjust the balance of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. In the example above from Jessica, she found she had to set to little to no Cyan, and a high level of Magenta to get the colours to match on paper.
Step 2: Adjust the image in the printer settings Perform a ‘nozzle check’ in the printer settings, and if a colour isn’t printing, refer to the troubleshooting tips in the next section around cleaning the ink heads. Here’s our recommendation if this happens: Step 1: Is a colour missing?įirstly, double-check if all the colours are working properly. The photo below represents this well and was the most severe examples we had seen. Now although this is relatively rare, it appears to occur with certain colour mixes. In fact Jessica from Hello Baked even wrote a helpful blog post recently covering her personal experiences on this. Have you ever faced an issue where the image colour is significantly out from the original? It’s something that cookie decorators have also highlighted in Julia Usher’s Cookie Connection.
