The color of my print outs, which are predominately red, started to come out salmon colored and are now tan. I am using elements 2019. I have had the file printed on another computer, and it came out salmon also. I have rebooted, confirmed that the software, not the printer, makes the color decisions in the advanced settings page. I have several files with the same red pattern in them, they are all printing out wrong, as noted above. j cubie

Since your printer manages color, go to Edit>Color settings and check the option to optimize for color screens.
Also, go to Image>Mode and check RGB Color.
Are you using genuine ink recommended by the manufacturer of the printer? Does the color of a test print derived from your printer look ok?
Is your monitor calibrated?

Yes did all and reset the program to defaults. I guess I need to calibrate. Recommend a calibration system?

Yes calibrated monitor, reset printer to defaults. Changed cyn print cartridge, since dealing with red washiing out, using only Canon brand ink. Does a color calibration device match printer and monitor colors, or does it just adjust the monitor?
