In this case you only need to provide a good RGB image. You still need to select the correct paper and type for the print job! And if you are using a paper that is not listed by the printer driver, you need to load the correct colour tables for that paper, when they exist.
#HOW TO MAKE MY PRINTER PRINT CORRECT COLORS DRIVER#
The printer and driver are using all the necessary measures to convert such an image to a correct paper image. Anyhow, consumer printers are optimized for sRGB colour space and RGB printing. To be clear: this is absolutely an amateurish behaviour and should be replaced as soon as possible with a calibrated workflow. If you are in a controlled environment, ie it's your screen and printer, then you can try to adapt the pictures in a way, that the print is looking correct. To complicate the situation for prints, calibration is paper and ink dependant. This is complex and even pros are not always doing a good job here. You (using a a calibration program and some special hardware) measure the colours reproduced and adapt some tables, that are used to translate the colours from one media to an other. Your screen displays colours not only in an other system (RGB) as your printer (CMYK+other colours if it is a photo printer), but even if you work in the same system, like having 2 screens of the same make and model, you may have differences in colour and lightness. It is found under Settings, on the LCD-menu.This is a calibration problem. If the estimated color change time happens to be during the night or another inconvenient moment, you can switch your printer’s beeper sound to, or mode. This feature was proposed by Richard Horne, thank you for the suggestion! It saves you time and removes the guesswork from inserting the color changes at the right height. When PrusaSlicer detects the model looks like a logo or a sign, a notification will offer you to automatically add color changes to the correct heights. This lets you plan when to check on the printer to proceed with the color change. Alternatively, you can switch to it manually using the select box "View" in the bottom left. When you add one or more color changes, the Platter legend will switch to "Color Print" mode and show time estimates till each change. The color change doesn't work in combination with sequential printing. The preview colors are there really just to visual the final print, they have no effect on the generated G-code. Except for the first color, which can be edited by clicking on the colored rectangle next to the filament profile name in the top right corner.
You can edit the color change preview color by right-clicking anywhere on the colored bar. You can remove a color change by moving the slider to the target layer and left-clicking on the grey cross icon.
