Getting Better Results from Your Printer

You ay notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match those in your documents or prints. This is because monitors and printers use different color systems.

You

ay be able to achieve more predictable results in your printed

docu

ents by:

 

Improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the

 

same results as coated paper or paper made especially for inkjet

 

printers.

 

Adjusting your printer software settings.

 

Using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their life

 

expectancy.

Reme ber these few tips for printing your pictures:

Color printing takes more time than black and white. More complex pictures increase the printing and drying time.

Color printing is more memory intensive than black and white. If your computer gives you an insufficient memory message, you may need to close some applications, change some settings, or add additional memory.

Color prints may not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you plan to photocopy documents, you should consider printing the document in grayscale. This setting is usually changed from the Print dialog box.

Resizing the picture to a smaller size or printing the picture on glossy

mpaper may increase the quality of the print.

To improve the quality of your prints, you may want to print your pictures on KODAK Inkjet Snapshot Paper (Snapshot Paper). Snapshot Paper is made to work with most inkjet printers to give you clearer, crisper, and more detailed images on your prints.
