    I’m not sure
    maybe you can check and print a sample of CMYK squears to check that you hot them right and neither of the colors ran out

    Other than that there are calibration methods I’m not really sure of and are specific for each printer (and also they usually not found in regular home printers)

    I would’ve search google with: calibration
    Hope this somewhat helps

    This is somewhat akin to asking “What’s wrong with my golf swing?”

    But, a quick test is to save your image in RGB as a TIFF and one as an EPS. Are you printing directly from Photoshop? Your color settings preferences will affect your output.

    Can you place the image inside another program like InDesign, Quark, Pagemaker etc?

    Many household ink jet printers print better color when the source file is an RGB tiff.

    Give it a whril and see.
