I am running PageMaker 7 and working with photos and colors in CMYK mode. I am using an hp deskjet 1220C to print. The printer does not produce accurate color. (If I create a PM document w/ RGB photos, the colors print fine) Is there a setting in PM that can fix this, or maybe something I can change w/ the printer driver. I've looked at the color management tab in the printer configuration, but I don't know which color profile to select or where I can obtain an accurate one. Any suggestions?

Hi, accconst,
When it comes to colour, the trick with PM is to not be concerned too much with what's displayed on the screen (which is RGB after all) but to be happy with what comes out of the printer. It is possible to correct the displayed image with a colour management system.
See, for example, (Gernot is a frequent contributor to AdobeForums PM Win Forum.)

Yup. I take it that's using HP's "PhotoREt III Color Layering Technology"
The CMYK images will probably print OK to the HP Deskjet 1220C/PS printer - "the premier printing solution, including all the features and solutions of the HP Deskjet 1220C plus Adobe® PostScript 3 technology."
