orange print photo's from Lightroom

[Kellypet]

Hi everyone,

I'm a photographer and recently started working on a MacBook Pro. I use Lightroom for editing, and everything looks great on my screen and phone. However, I'm running into an issue when I print my photos (not using a home printer, but a professional printing service): the prints come out looking very orange.

When I try to fix this by lowering the saturation or adjusting the temperature before exporting, the printed photos end up looking too washed out, white, or yellowish compared to how they appear on my laptop.

I'm exporting my files in sRGB color space. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or does anyone know what might be causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi @Kellypet! Welcome to the community!

Could you share a bit more about the issue you're experiencing? What version of Lightroom Classic are you using? Also, is this happening with multiple printers or just one in particular? If it's just one, it might be a problem with the printer or its settings.

Thanks a bunch!

What print service are you using? And do they have (as they should) a web page describing proper settings for the service (such as follows)

Image prep that the photo service might refer to:

• File Type
• Bit Depth
• Image Mode
• Color space
• Layers and Apha modes (typically just a flat image, more related to PS not LrC)

and perhaps options such as:

• Color matching
• soft proofing templates

P.S. I am a bit suspicious about the print service you might be using. I would think that the service would have looked at your images (perhaps after printing, although they might have printed a small test) and contacted you about an issue, and inquired if you wanted to apply color correction. You might consider a different service.
