Printing from a PC

Printing from Primera Snap

To print, click on the Print icon in the upper right corner of the 

software.  All available Primera printers will appear here.  For 

example, if you have two IP60 printers each loaded with a 

different type of photo paper, both will appear on this list.  

Click "Use This Printer" to select the printer.

All of the printer settings will be displayed in the Print Setup 

window. 

You may change the number of copies, adjust overbleed, 

quality, print intensity, color matching, and bi-directional print. 

For more information on print settings, see the next section in 

this manual. 
Click “Send Print” to print.

Print

If you see white space around your print, 

increase the overbleed.
