Getting Better Results from Your Printer

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

You may be able to achieve more predictable results in your printed documents by:

￿Improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the same results as coated paper or paper made specially for inkjet printers.

￿Adjusting your printer software settings.

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

Remember these tips when printing a document:

￿Color printing takes more time. 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, 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 paper 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.
