in this picture the one on the bottom is from before i changed the print density settings and the one on top is after i changed the settings, the colors are getting closer to the original picture

I can only say when you are happy with the quality all is good. 8)

I think if you just find better paper the quality might improve enough.

i am using red river matte legal paper, I am having a very hard time finding good quality paper for laser, while the picture looks okay, in person the colors are darker than what is shown in the art I downloaded

I know nothing of red river other than people here liking it a lot for some reason.
But the nice thing about laser is that you really don’t need expensive paper, unlike inkjet. I’ll let you know what papers we use tomorrow when I’m back in the shop.
edit: just looked at Red River’s site. They don’t make a laserjet compatible paper. That’s probably a part of your problem.

I use this paper on my HP Color Laserjet and the results are excellent.

Note that this paper does not bond properly with the toner unless I configure the printer properties for "Color Laser Transparency" media. That makes it print at about half speed (which is still really fast) and then it bonds fine.
