I have Corel Draw X5 and I have some files which print differently from Corel and the PDF which was created by the same Corel program.

I am not worried about the screen look but they do all look the same, even the PDF, but when printed on a Xerox Phaser 6250 it is washed out compared to the print from Corel.

I have checked the printer setting, PDF and Corel settings and I cannot see what would cause this.

Corel X5 and Acrobat 8 - Phaser 6250 Laser - glossy and plain paper - RGB and CMYK settings.

Any help please?

When you convert the file to PDF, by default it compresses the image and text, which will make it look different. Look at the options and adjust quality settings when exporting to PDF.

You'll need to learn how to soft-proof for your program. In photoshop it's easy, but you'll need to read the manual for your software. Most likely your gamma/cmyk conversion settings are different, but it's easier to just find better settings for your printer using soft-proof profiles.
