Tips for printing
You may notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match
those in prints. This is because monitors and printers use different color systems.
To achieve more predictable results in your printed documents:
✔
Improve the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the same
results as coated paper or paper made especially for ink jet printers.
✔
Adjust your printer software settings.
✔
Use fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their life
expectancy.
☞
If you need extreme precision in matching printed output to your
computer screen, you can purchase a calibration system. A
calibration system matches, as closely as possible, the printed
picture to the picture on your computer screen. Consult your local
computer dealer for more information.
Remember these few tips when it comes time to print your pictures:
✔
Color printing takes more time. Increased complexity in your document
increases 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 can close some
applications, change some settings, or add additional memory.
✔
Color prints do not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you plan to
photocopy documents containing pictures, consider printing the document
in gray scale. This setting is usually changed from the Print menu.
✔
Resize the picture to a smaller size or print the picture on glossy paper to
increase the quality of the print.
To improve the quality of your prints, print your pictures on KODAK InkJet
Paper. InkJet Paper is made to work with most inkjet printers to give you clearer,
crisper, and more detailed images on your prints.
