[Solved] Epson XP-342: Mismatch in Printed Photos Color Representation - User Experience

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Why do photos printed on my new Epson XP-342 look different from the original photos, and how can I make the colors print correctly?

Your print colors are wrong because the printer is likely set to a photo-paper mode while you are actually printing on plain or matte paper; switching to the correct paper type should fix it [#17004983] Print from Windows Photo Viewer, open Options → Printer Properties, uncheck Borderless, and select Plain Paper instead of Glossy or Matte [#17004983] If you choose glossy/matte paper settings but feed plain paper, the result can be greenish photos [#17004983] Also make sure the printing preferences match the actual paper you use, such as plain paper for copier sheets or glossy/premium glossy for photo paper [#17004414] After setting Plain Paper and turning off Borderless, the colors were reported as fine [#17005425]

    Hey, I bought a new printer a few days ago. Printed photos are different from photos. I don't know how to describe this error myself, that's why I enclose the printout and the correct photo.

    Are you printing on the right settings in the "printing preferences", on the right paper? On plain photocopier pages, select the border printing option and the [plain paper] option, if you want to print on photo paper - the [glossy / premium glossy] option.

    Does the printer have any option for calibrating the printout (containers)?

    Prints on matte paper and choose "semigloss" option. In the printing preferences I have "default" settings.

    I don't know if the printer has print calibration options.

    Matte paper is matte photo paper. You probably print photos from Epson Easy photo print where there is no option to select plain paper. Print photos from the Windows Photo Viewer. There, at the bottom right of "Options", then "Printer Properties" and uncheck "Borderless" and select plain paper. Only then will it print in normal colors. Choosing photo glossy or matte Paper, and printing on plain one results in just green photos.
