The printer in the university prints the colors far too dark, as they are on the laptop! It is a Minolta Bizhub C360. Is anyone familiar with it?

Of course it is also possible that your laptop is too bright colors.

Here only one calibration helps, both your screen and the printer.

You have to download the right ICC profile from the internet and install it with you. The color reproduction between monitor and printer never fits!

But… With a laptop, this is usually not 100% helpful - that changes the color / brightness already, if you tilt the monitor back and forth.

A better color impression you have with a "normal" monitor because this is not so kippwinkelabhängig.

Photo printers are calibrated according to ICC or FOGRA color profiles, your monitor is probably calibrated free muzzle?

FOGRA color profiles are designed for specific color / paper combinations and designed for printing standards (ISO Coatet).
