This is why I can't have nice things - AKA ARRRRRRRrrrrr
Welp its not the printers fault (which isn't something you hear people say very often)
No I'm not spontaneously turning into a pirate... though I am considering throwing myself off the plank. (no, not really, bad joke, whatever). After much troubleshooting and going through a crapton of ink and paper I think the problem isn't my printer its me. I changed my scanner settings about a month ago as they seemed to be producing a better digital image.
Yep. Digital image is GREAT best scans of watercolors I've ever gotten. But something about it has destroyed the print quality. No subtleties to shadows and highlights, oversaturated golds and blues and undersaturated and way to dark reds... holy cripes batman, I just want it to print whats on my screen... which has NEVER been a problem before. i.e. all of the things that I've printed before are printing just lovely. No problems whatsoever... anything SCANNED w/in the last month... crap...
Dammit. So I think everything I've done in the past month is gonna have crap for printability, I'm still trying to fix things in Photoshop but my hope is low at this point...
