Chapter 2: Advanced Print 
Features

This chapter provides information on how to use the S820D photo printer options 
to enhance printed color images.

If your print results using pre-set print modes are unsatisfactory, you may be able 
to improve the printing quality by: 

•

Using Recommended Paper or Specialty Media

•

Smoothing Rough or Jagged Edges

•

Optimizing Color Photographs

•

Adjusting Print Quality

•

Adjusting Color Balance, Brightness and Saturation 

•

Saving and Recalling Driver Settings 

Using Recommended Paper or Specialty Media

You can significantly improve the quality of a picture or an image by using the 
recommended paper or specialty media. Specialty media best suited for printing 
color are Photo Paper Pro, Photo Paper Pro 4" x 6", Photo Paper Pro for Borderless 
Printing 4" x 6", High Resolution Paper, Glossy Photo Paper and High Gloss Photo Film. 

These specialty media reproduce colors better than plain paper. See “Using 
Specialty Media” on page 4.
