Getting Better Results from Your Printer

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

θImproving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the same results as coated paper or paper made especially for inkjet printers.

θAdjusting your printer software settings.

θUsing fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their life expectancy.

Remember these few tips when it comes time to print your document:

θColor printing takes more time. More complex pictures increase the printing and drying time.

θColor 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.

θColor 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.

θResizing 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.
