When I print my document from pagestream, all the image colors are right on. What's on the screen, is printed exactly. But, any gradients files on boxes I have are wrong. i.e. a box that is filled with blue on the screen prints purple on the print job.

Any ideas why this is, and how I can correct it?

Can you tell us on what platform you work and which PGS version.

When you make a bitmap, does the colors come out right?

It is PGS 5.0.5.8 Pro on Windows platform. Bitmaps print properly, but any color fills using the built in tools are wrong.

I do not many printings on paper. Mostly pdf's, or bitmaps.
So I sought one with gradients, and printed it.
They came out right: colors match the on-screen one!

Can you send me, privately, an ilus?

I did a test, and if I use a PCL driver, it prints with the right colors, but if I use postscript driver, the fill are off. I would just use the PCL driver from now on, but the postscript has more options that I need and provides for enhanced resolution.

Well, I cannot help you with this. I have no PostScript printer. Just a
laserprinter and a PCL-driver (I guess).

PDF, a sort of subset of postscript, cannot handle fills. So I suppose
it's the same for PostScript.
If only Deron could make a bitmap replacement for a fill and gradient in
a new PGS version...

My suggestion would be to make sure you are using RGB colors, and not
CMYK, if you are successfully printing RGB images.

That is an interesting differential. In addition to what Theo and Deron said you might check the different printer driver color settings, making sure to look at all of them (often hidden in advanced settings tab).

Just to see what happens, if nothing else resolves the issue, you might try printing to a bitmap file (png format is good) and see what the results look like.
