    Help of a different kind....printing

    I have printed some flowers but they do not look the same on paper as on screen. They are dull. would gloss photo paper make a difference? I want to cut them out en stick a lollipop in the middle for a birthday party This is what it looks like..



    This is how I want it to look.

    Hmmm these printing issues and be very complicated. Gloss paper might help but I suspect they will still be similar to your paper one. My printer always prints much darker than my screen and I usually brighten everything before printing. I don't have the same problem however when I get photo's printed professionally.
    Not sure what else I can suggest. Perhaps a double print over the original print might help? but would need to feed through exactly in the same place.

        Wendy is the printer settings the highest quality? My fast print is really dull.
        Hugs!!

          Very good thought. Didn't think of it. Could be right

                Thanks Girls I printed on Photo Paper high quality..there where also some other settings for noise reduction and a few more I can not remember clicked them all and results where fantastic. They actually came out a bit darker than expected.
