Issue printing blue - PhotoCamel

Rockbottom · 09-18-2009

I recently purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 for the main purpose of printing high quality flyers. Any images on the flyer that have a deep blue color always print very purple. This is the same issue I'm having with two other cheaper printers, using all printers with two different pc's. I've tried printing from Microsoft word, Photoshop, and Flash all with the same results. I was wondering if anyone here has had the same issues and maybe come up with a solution.
BTW, the same word file printed at the local staples came out perfect.

Thanks, This is very frustrating.

Have you profiled the printers and your monitor with something like XRite's Eye One?
