I have both of these color laser printers and have been having this issue for years and am at my breaking point trying to troubleshoot. Do I just need to purchase a new printer?
I am a graphic designer, short run printer - color consistency is HUGE.
Here is a list of my issues:
- Using same file: each printer output is different regarding color. I now have begun to save the file names with the best printer to use for that particular design.
- Both printers are not consistent. I will complete an order (I save a printed copy on file for reorder comparison). When the Client reorders, I use the SAME file, SAME software program, SAME Printer - RESULT: different color output.
I have tried everything I can possibly think of to troubleshoot. Spent countless hours scouring the internet for similar posts.
I have done all the suggested maintenance tips. Cleaned the printers. New Toner. Blah Blah.
PLEASE, can anyone help me. What am I missing?
Sometimes it just takes someone from the outside to see what might be obvious.
Technical Specs:
Windows 7
Graphic Design Software: XARA, GIMP
Software used for printing: SILHOUETTE SD Design Studio, Publisher, XARA
Not sure what else might be helpful.
Thank you in advance for your help.
