You have an ace printer. Check this forum for other posts or threads about 'color' using the forum search.

riverside, I've used the r2400 for over 2 years and after the initial calibration woes I'm 99% happy with it. If you provide some details about how you are printing then someone might be able to help.

I found out what the problem was, it was not the printer it was the monitor, I have replaced it with the Opticlear LCD 1970OGX and the prints come out fine!

Don't worry, I had a similar problem, but I realized that it was my mistake to buy a printer and ink without any prior enquirers and suggestions.

now, i have made it clear that, Whether a printer costs $49 or $499, the purchase price is only the first item on new list of ongoing printing expenses. Over time, buying the ink or toner and acquiring media (paper, envelopes, and transparencies) will very likely make a far bigger impact on our wallet.

Once you start looking at certain models, make sure you check the recommended print volume; if you typically print 100 pages a day, you wouldn’t want to buy a printer that's rated for 500 pages a month.
Replacement ink cartridge costs represent a major part of your long-term printing expenses. Expect to pay $10 to $40 for an ink cartridge, and $60 or more for a Toner cartridges. .
