GETTING THE BEST PRINT QUALITY

This chapter provides guidelines on ink, media, and printer settings to
help you create superb color graphics on a variety of media.

Printing tips

•
Before running a big printing job, check the ink levels using the
software control panel. If necessary, refill or replace the cartridges
and reset the ink counters before printing as described in Chapter
4.
•
To save time and media when printing a large image or multiple
copies, test your results by printing a small version first, then
making any adjustments to the image.
•
While the image is printing, DO NOT TOUCH the media, or lift
the printer's cover. Touching the media can leave fingerprints or
accidentally smear wet ink, and lifting the cover can shake the
printer and cause an undesirable mark on the print or accidentally
stop the carrier.
•
Certain media may require extra drying time. DO NOT touch the
printed media or stack prints until they have dried completely.
•
When using the optional Croma24 stand and printing images with
heavy ink coverage, you should move the paper catcher basket
back so fabric does not touch the image and possibly smear it.
