Similar images in different windows printing out different colors - Photoshop

I scanned 3 different decals that are the same color to edit the size and print and have them open in 3 different windows in Photoshop.  The first decal prints out perfect, the other 2 are printing out too dark. The colors all look the same on the screen so why aren't they printing the same?  It's not the printer because if so then all 3 images would print out too dark....

Nevermind my bad, the colors came out slightly different depending on where they are placed in my scanner when I scanned them. The difference doesn't show up much until I print it out

I would start by making sure that all three images were saved in the same color space. In photoshop you click on the image file and type  Command or Control and the letter I.  are they all sRGB? And are they all the same resolution?

Hi there,

That does not sound right, let's fix this.

As the images are printing out too dark, could you please let us know the version of Photoshop and the operating system you're working with?

Also, could you please check this forum thread and let us know if it helps?

Prints are too dark printing from photoshop on ultra premium glossy

I'm on a HP and now my Creative Cloud app won't open so I don't know which version of Photoshop, is there another way to tell?

I've tried printing them on different papers, semi-gloss and regular, one prints out perfect, the other two are too dark
