differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.

print head stops suddenly causing unevenness in
the color. Do not open the printer cover while
printing.

new one. If there is a difference in color after
replacing the ink cartridge, try performing head
cleaning a few times.

printed by different printer models are not exactly
the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.
