Question

I still have the issue with printing a .pdf document with or without pictures. The text is not pure black and any image has a strong magenta hue to it. In fact some blues and yellows dont show at all.... Originally I thought it was a printer/scanner issue but it is not. It is something to do with the reader settings I am almost certain but I've made every change in preferences/settings I can find and nothing is working. Any suggestions?

Acrobat Reader DC

I have reset the colors and tried RGB as well as CMYK also selected Print as Image. Iguessing the printer is not at isue becasue it prints HTML and word and excel and everything else in the world with real and normal color tones. Only when I print a pdf...any pdf does it print in magenta tone. Ive gone to the state dmv for pdf forms  and tried to print theirs... same results.....magenta hues

What are your color management settings in the program that created the PDF and in Acrobat?

Can you upload a single page example for test printing?

This magenta tinge thing, for me, is anything .pdf. This is anything I have scanned to .pdf or anything I download that is a pdf file. It all prints in magenta tint. What I see on the monitor is perfectly normal colors or perfectly balanced B&W but print it..... magenta. I will try to break out a single page of the files I have ...also I will try to attach screen shots of what I see on the monitor

I have chaged the color preferences to everything I can think of in Acrobat.Right now I have it "Useing windows color scheme"

Was the PDF created in RGB or CMYK mode? Does the file use spot colors or registration color?

I assume it looks OK on screen; how have you eliminated the printer as the problem?

What are your color management settings for all the programs involved?
