[Gimp-user] Gimp Printouts

[Walter S.]

Hi there. Thanks for allowing me to join this forum. I have been using Gimp
for some time, but now that I have got as far as printing out some of my work
I have come across a snag.
I could not understand why the print was so much darker than the image on the
monitor. Having scanned the help files in Gimp, I find the information, that
this is because the monitor is showing the image in RGB,but the actual
printout is in CMYK.
I am wrestling with the logic of this and failing to comprehend why it should
be. I am hoping that there is a way of resolving this tremendous mis-match. Is
there any Gimp knowledgeable member out there who could fill me in on the way
to overcome this difference? I sure hope so. Many thanks. cypher000
