Why do imported Word Art elements print a different colour than the original document text using Microsoft Word?
The EPSON standard for printer driver colour management is if Automatic is selected the printer driver switches the Look up Table (LUT) mode according to the printed object on the same page.
Photo realistic is used for BMP (Word art).
Vivid (graphic) mode is used for vector graphics and text.
Hence we get the problem with the document where Different Look Up tables manage the 2 different elements of the document.

The solution:
If you print in Vivid mode the colour of the entire print will be according to the Text / Graphics.

or

If you print in Photo Realistic mode the colour of the entire print will be according to the BMP (Word Art).

If neither of these modes produces the desired result you will have to investigate the RGB value of the required colour and use this as your text or BMP and print accordingly.
