Subject: CMYK Printing Problem

Question
Huma,
I am working in Freehand 9 and I have been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to get a good print out. Any imported CMYK JPEGS or TIFFs I try to print on my HP DeskJet 1220C prints out ugly and it has none of the correct colors. Som elements of the document come out black and some a florescent color. I messed around with all kinds of color management combinations as well. Do you have any idea what I can do? I appreciate your help.

Answer
There's could be two to three things, you can start...

1. first try printout the images in other software, like photoshop, if it comes allright, it means the problem is with converting the file, or with freehand calibration

2. is your freehand printing out all JPGs or tiffs out of correct colours, try with different color swatches creat in Photoshop tiff, n import them in freehand

3. Ive found that JPGs not much supported format for printing color output, you can try .eps format instead of using JPGs

4. i dont know weather you'd tried or not, but try with RGB colours mode too, some printers do support RGB format, specially if they are RGB printers

i hope you will get a better result with one of these options, feel free toa sk anything further.
