Hi there! My parents bought an HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 a couple years ago and I’m only just now using it to (try to) print decent quality images. Obviously the printer isn’t anything high quality for images, as the colors aren’t consistent. But they’re pretty easy to adjust- except for browns and blacks/greys. They are horrifically dull and dark. I’ve tried manually adjusting their brightness and saturation, but it doesn’t turn out anywhere close to the original colors. I am using a CMYK image/file and have printed from both my iPad Air (procreate and Google drive) and my PC (photoshop on an ASUS laptop/Windows 10). I’m trying to print out okay quality images for stickers, and those specific colors won’t look alright for the life of me. I’ve tried researching for similar issues and haven’t found any. I’ve also printed a quality report and there isn’t any issues.

I have an eye disease called Achromatopsia. It means that I'm missing all my cones so I can't see any color. I have been my whole life. I'm told I see in shade of gray, but I have no concept of color, so I can't confirm that definitively. I also have a loss of acuity, extreme photo sensitivity, and nystagmus as a result of Achromatopsia. Please note that not everyone who is "color blind" has Achromatopsia, so my information won't be true to everyone you meet.
It is much more rare for females to suffer from any corm of colorblindness, especially if their mother doesn't. Mine doesn't.
Other things you may want to know are these: I'm a 24 year old aspiring doll maker. I'm married to a "normally sighted" man. One of my three brothers also has Achromatopsia, the other two have no disability to speak of.
Questions I'm most ofter asked: Can you see my fingers? Yes, get them out of my face. How do you match your clothes? I always wear black pants or jeans, anything matches them. I do memorize the colors of my clothes and I know enough about the color wheel to make it work, in theory. Can you drive: I'm working on learning how to with a special optical setup.
Yes I'm totally stealing this idea from silverhythm's thread about being blind. he's a friend of mine though, so I think he'll be ok with it. Besides I sometimes find that people have more questions for someone with colorblindness than someone whose totally blind. I don't know why that is.
I'm pretty easy going, so I probably won't mind telling you anything you want to know. I'm not sure what else to say, so get to asking. I'll do my best to answer everything.
EDIT: I need to go have lunch or fall over. I will be back sometime this afternoon and I will post a couple of my paintings, per your request. In the meantime, please enjoy these links. http://www.biopticdrivingusa.com/ This will tell you about driving with bioptics. http://www.achromatopsia.info/ This is from my optometrist who is one of the leading experts on Achromatopsia. Hope this is educational. Thanks to Mary for the links.
EDIT: Ok I'm back and ready to go. Here are the links to art I promised. One is an example of my color, and the other is a gray. Ignore my style of art, I know it isn't very realistic. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/choire/mail.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j279/choire/IMGA0009.jpg
EDIT: Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. We had a fire scare at 4 in the morning, then no power the rest of the day.
Sorry if
... keep reading on reddit ➡This is the palette I have so far, for reference I have yellow undertones and ~navy blue hair, naturally dark brown and planning to grow out the natural brown. My wardrobe has been one of my biggest obstacles (along with art supplies) and I'm finally ready to tackle it. But I love dressing colorfully! So I don't want to have all black and white as seems to be very popular with minimalists.
Does anyone else have a very small but colorful wardrobe? How do you make sure pieces will all work together? Do you get tired of your color palette?
If the sun is out i can't see at all and it hurts my eyes. I've worn sunglasses all of my life. Indoors i wear sunglasses too. Also I'm 20/200. Everything is blurry.
Hello my fellow hawks fans, since I can’t see colors, I’ve been asking myself, what color the hawks city edition is. The hawks have become my favorite team, because the logo on the city edition jersey is so beautiful, but due to my achromatism, I’ll never be able to fully see the colors of the jersey, can anyone tell me what color they are, they are definitely bright, that’s what I see.
Hi! For about a year now I have with me a 120 mm SkyWatcher refractor which I've made many observations and trips with, and fee very familiar with. I would like now to upgrade and use it for astrophotography.
I couldn't find a post/guide for upgrading a scope this way; could you point me to one/tell me where I can find information on which camera, mount and accessories I should buy which fit specifically with my scope?
Thanks a lot.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
I started life as a blank canvas.
Everyone drew what they thought I should be.
Pencil marks created a shadow of a person, scratched and smudged by pain, bullying, insults, and shame…
I lived in my own Pleasantville, trapped in an achromatic prison.
Then I met you.
You opened my cell door.
You brought me to life, painting me with colors rare and exotic.
Your paint splashed off me onto everything in my world, bringing a vibrancy I had never dreamed of, like a rainbow had burst open in the sky and rained down the entire spectrum on me.
The sky was bluer.
The trees more green.
I saw colors I never knew existed.
Will you douse me in turpentine, if someday we should part, stripping me of those beautiful colors?
Will you strip away the shades of blue, my memory of your eyes, and my despair?
Is it an act of mercy?
Who will I be without your technicolor gift?
Who am I without you?
Without the pink of your skin, the chocolate brown blanket on the bed we share, purple, your favorite color, my resplendent silver wedding ring, the verdant paper of our marriage certificate, and your steel blue eyes?
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
You take away their little brooms
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
It was about a weak back.
