Indesign color problem

[sylviap74983224]

Hi there,

I have a problem with the program Indesign. Mostly I use CMYK color code for some text that I want to print out,

but the paper that's printed has a different color than I can see on my screen. Is there something wrong in the color setting of Indesign or on paper print setting?

Someone here that can help bit further thanks.

Which settings should I take for cmyk to print on an oki C911.

Have you tried printing from a PDF created from the InDesign Adobe PDF presets? You should be working in RGB and getting the printer's software to convert to CMYK  – select High Quality Print – for a desktop printer (if you've already converted your InDesign document to CMYK it's too late!).

And, bear in mind that color produced by back-lighted pixels on your computer display, and color produced by ink or toner on paper—even if they are "matched"—cannot be the same.
