For photos, Fine quality and Diffusion halftoning will give you the best results (which, coincidentally, is the same setting you'll get by selecting High for the Print Quality setting). Custom enables the Set button, which opens the Set Print Quality dialog box ( Figure 4.4), where you can set the quality level and type of halftoning used. For critical prints, the High setting is your best choice.
For most prints, Standard works fine and uses less ink while printing faster than High. Unless you're printing on plain paper, your choices are High, Standard, and Custom. Next in the dialog box are the Print Quality settings. Not all printers have multiple paper paths or sources, so some of these options may not be available on your printer. Selecting Photo Paper Plus Glossy when you have plain paper inserted will give you a nice, soggy print.
CHANGE PRINTER SETTINGS DRIVER
This is because the printer driver decides how much ink to use based on the type of paper chosen. A wrong selection here most likely will result in a print that needs to be redone-even when everything else is set properly. Media Type is one of the most important settings you'll make in the printer driver. Here you specify the Media Type and Paper Source settings (if available). Main tabįirst up is the Main tab ( Figure 4.3).
CHANGE PRINTER SETTINGS HOW TO
To give you an idea of the available options and how to use them for the best results when printing different types of images, I'll cover each tab in the dialog box. To get started, click the Printing Preferences button in the Properties dialog box to open the Printing Preferences dialog box, which is the main control center for the printer driver.
To illustrate Canon printer settings, I'll use the Pixma iP8500 most current Canon photo printers have the same options available, however. The general steps will be the same, although your dialog boxes will look different, with more or fewer options. If you don't have one of these three, you can still follow along. I've limited the discussion to Canon, Epson, and HP because most people use a photo printer made by one of these companies.
