Other word processing software, like Microsoft Word, has trouble printing documents with unorthodox background colors. Fortunately, that's not an issue with Google Docs. The printed file will have the same background color as the digital document. However, the printouts don’t always match the on-screen version, especially when it comes to coloring. If you’re unhappy with the way the document turned out, there are several possible fixes. First, you can calibrate the display color of your computer to more closely match the output color. Windows PCs have a built-in tool you can use to do just that. Here’s how: 1. Use the search bar at the bottom-left corner of the screen to find the tool. Type “color calibration” or “calibrate display color” in the dialog box. 2. From there, follow the on-screen instructions for optimal color calibration. Sometimes, the lackluster color is caused by the printer. You might want to calibrate the device as well. Typically, you can get the latest software from the manufacturer’s website, but that depends on the brand. It’s best to reach out to customer support for detailed instructions. Lastly, you might have low-quality copier paper. While the standard type can work for text files, it might fall short if you have any visual elements like background colors or images. Consider using bright white paper instead if your printer is compatible with it.
