Color Matching

Dye Sublimation printers use 3 colors, Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan to create the spectrum of colors whereas a computer monitor uses red, green, and blue.

The results you may see when printing are that your colors don’t match what you see in your software. One example is that blue may be printed out somewhat purple.
There are several ways you can attempt to correct this issue. It may take some time, several adjustments, and test printing to get the results you are looking for.
1.        Change the Color Matching in the Driver to Monitor (Fargo Printers Only)

1.        Modify your original image in Photoshop or similar image manipulation software

1.        Adjust the image darkness or intensity depending on the printer  manufacturer

1.        Adjust the individual color balances in the driver (Fargo Printers Only)

1.        Change the color management in the printer driver properties
