Hi there,
My Xerox Phaser 7800GX won't print photos or skintones properly. Vector images are mostly ok, but I can tell the colours are sligntly not right. It's worse though with photos, inparticular they are washed out compared with the same image printed from a much cheaper HP 1525n.
It's not a new printer, but has been serviced, and has genuine toners. The transfer belt etc... is showing as plenty of life remaining.
What I've already done:
- Tried the V3 and V4 driver
- Printed from Windows 10 and Windows 7
- Cleared the NVRAM and started again
- Colour calibrations on my paper
- Only using Xerox Colortech papers
- Printed with and without ICC profiles (automatic and manual colour controls)
- Printed from Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher, and Adobe Acrobat
- Tried Vivid Colours and other colour settings
Word documents etc... print perfectly fine, vector graphics (even on t-shirt transfer papers) print OK, but anything photographic is just wrong... help!!!
Any and all advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Stuart

Histustones,
If the C,M,Y color seems to be fine on the printed calibriation sheet then i guess the issue is happening when you are trying to print a file which have RGB Colors
so i would suggest to apply these settings on your driver
try first to use the sRGB scientific profile then try the sRGB Display
Also If you print through Acrobat Go to File > Print > Advanced
and First check the option Let Printer determine color and try to print with the above driver settings
If the issue still then try to uncheck it .
Regards,
