Welcome to another fresh week of tech tips where we divulge information that are useful, resourceful and beneficiary to all Epson users thus making their Epson journey smoother and slicker.
In this article, we will discuss how to improve print quality on your Epson printer via printer Settings for the highest quality printing that would give you the needed overall superiority output you desire.
There are many ways to update/ upgrade your printer settings so as to attain and acquire the most effective high-quality print as it is believed that quality is everything when it comes to printing.
But before we dive into it proper, let’s touch a bit and outline the reason why your printer isn’t printing high-quality prints. A times, several printers have default settings in order to save on ink and paper, so all you need to do is to change the settings on your device and voilà, your print quality downside is resolved.
This paragraph explains how to find your printer settings first on your printer. There are essentially two ways you can find your printer’s settings.
The first option is changing your printer’s preferences while you initiate the print process, as this can be done when the printer dialogue box comes up, and before you click “Print”.
The second option on the other hand is to consult the system preferences from your Windows 10 start menu. An information worthy to note is that the first option changes your settings for a single print while the latter will change your printer’s default settings.
So the question of how to update printer settings for a single print is expatiated briefly below;
If you are looking at wanting to update your printer settings just for the document you’re currently printing, follow these simple step:
1. Start by opening the photo/document you intend printing.
2. Click “File”
3. Click “Print”
4. Click “Properties,” “printer properties,” or “preferences,”
5. Change the quality and the paper size/ type
The second update entails updating default printer settings for all prints;
You can adjust your printer’s settings for high-quality printing by going to your system preferences and making the changes from there. Follow these simple steps below to change your printer’s default settings:
1. Start by typing “devices” into the search bar on your system.
2. Click on “Devices and Printers”
3. Right click on the printer icon
4. Select “Printing Preferences”
5. Change print settings, click “OK”
6. Ready, set, print!
Remember, if you want to revert the printer settings, simply go to your system preferences and make the changes by clicking the “restore defaults” button.
There are a few other things that can impact the veracity of your prints, besides the printing device settings. Let me outline a few high-quality printing tips that would help to improve your overall photo print and standard document printing.
The Use of original files:
Printing using the original flies gives you the desired high resolution quality but printing from duplicate file could mean you loss the resolution with a compressed image.
Choosing the right ink or toner:
There are basically two types of printer we are discussing for the purpose of this article which are the inkjet printer and the laser printer. Before you start to print, decide whether you want to print on an inkjet printer or a laser printer.
Normally, an inkjet printer uses traditional printer ink, while a laser printer uses a toner.
Inkjet printers are good at blending different ink colors to create prints that have a very dynamic color range.
A brief summary of how an inkjet printer works: As the paper is rolled through the printer, ink is dropped onto the paper through small nozzles thus, placing particularly small particles of ink onto paper to create an image. An information worth noting is that the Inkjet printer usually has a slower process than the Laser printer but the quality of the color is unique.
The Laser printer on the other hand is very good at creating diagonal lines. A laser printer uses static electricity to print your image. Let’s outline the difference between the two printers as follows:
– Laser printers don’t print color images as well as inkjet printers because laser printers aren’t as good at mixing colors.
– But one big upside to a laser printer is that it prints incredibly fast.
– Furthermore, one single cartridge of toner can print many more pages than a single cartridge of ink.
Choosing the right paper
They are various types of photo papers that can be used for high-quality prints which are as follows:
Matte paper
Glossy paper
Luster paper.
Matte paper has a silky, smooth finish.
Glossy paper is the opposite of matte paper. Photos usually printed with glossy finish have a natural shine to them. This is typically considered as one of the best papers for printing high-quality photographs.
Luster paper on the other hand is described as a ‘semi-gloss’ finish. It is however advisable to try printing on all three papers in order to see which one is your choice of preference.
