    Default Color is off on prints

    Hi all:

    I'm a newbie to the digital photography world but want to know how to adjust my
    printer so that I can get good color for prints. Specifically, when I print a
    picture (in Highest resolution 2048x1536) from my Canon Powershot Elph S230 to
    my Canon i850 photoprinter, the image tends to be bluish. Is there anyway I can
    adjust this?

    In the printer driver, you can adjust the color balance. It will take
    some experimentation but once you get it just like you want it, save the
    settings as a profile and use the profile when you print on that paper
    in the future. Understand that different papers will likely require
    different profiles as well.

    Actually my experience has been quite the opposite. I previously had an
    Epson 780 which I had to do a lot of work on to make the colors turn out
    correctly. When I bought my Canon S820, the color was dead on right out
    of the box. Quite surprising actually...
