Getting Better Results from Your Printer

You may notice that the colors on your computer screen do not always match
those in your documents or prints. This is because monitors and printers use
different color systems.
You may be able to achieve more predictable results in your printed
documents by:

 Improving the quality of your paper. Copier paper may not offer the

same results as coated paper or paper made especially for inkjet
printers.

 Adjusting your printer software settings.
 Using fresh ink cartridges. Do not use ink cartridges beyond their

life expectancy.

Remember these few tips when it comes time to print your document:

 Color printing takes more time. More complex pictures increase 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 may need to
close some applications, change some settings, or add additional
memory.

 Color prints may not photocopy as clearly as black and white. If you

plan to photocopy documents, you should consider printing the
document in grayscale. This setting is usually changed from the Print
dialog box.

 Resizing the picture to a smaller size or printing the picture on glossy

paper may increase the quality of the print.

To improve the quality of your prints, you may want to print your pictures on
KODAK Inkjet Snapshot Paper (Snapshot Paper). Snapshot Paper is made to
work with most inkjet printers to give you clearer, crisper, and more detailed
images on your prints.
