Maintaining the Ink Quality
Check 5: When printing in grayscale, follow the procedure below.
When printing in grayscale, depending on an image, the printing troubles may occur on the top and/
or bottom edges of the paper such as uneven coloration or white streaks. In this case, we
recommend printing with the top and bottom margins in the print direction of the paper set to more
than 45 mm / 1.77 inches using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided on the Setup CD-ROM or your
page layout software.
To set margins using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro, print following the procedure described in "Printing
Grayscale Photos from Easy-PhotoPrint Pro" in "Printing in Grayscale" in the Digital Photo Printing
Guide on-screen manual.
If you want to print with no margin, convert the image to grayscale using an image-editing software
or the like, then print it without the Grayscale Printing setting in the printer driver. To do so, in
Windows, clear the Grayscale Printing check box on the Main sheet, then print. In Macintosh, select
Quality & Media from the pop-up menu in the Print dialog box, and clear the Grayscale Printing check
box, then print. If printing using the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro provided on the Setup CD-ROM after
converting to grayscale, clear the Grayscale Photo check box. The gray balance of the image printed
after grayscale conversion may seem different compared with the one printed with the Grayscale
Printing setting in the printer driver or the Grayscale Photo setting in the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro.
