The Other Side Of Printing
by: Florie Lyn Masarate
It is given that you buy cartridges from the printer manufacturers to ensure good quality. But then, are they making the papers too? The companies you buy other printer need to buy their paper from another company. Then they put their name on it.
Chances are that the exact same paper can be found under another name. If your printer uses a special ink, there might be advantages to using a manufacturer's brand of paper.
Remember that another brand will not hurt your printer. And it could be a lot cheaper. What are some considerations when choosing a printing paper?
Different purposes. The kind of paper you use can affect how your document will appear like. When you are printing important documents, best use inkjet or laser-specific paper.
For everyday use, it is ok to purchase inexpensive, low-weight paper. Avoid using papers that is so thin that it will tear easily. Look for your printer specs in your manual or online for the minimum paper weight that your printer can handle.
Re-use papers.
Documents do not always turn out exactly as we'd like. But do not dispose of the papers yet. Instead, try to use the blank side for documents that you are just printing out as drafts for checking errors. You will find that by reusing paper, you are saving a lot less on new paper.
Test print photos. Photo paper can be quite expensive. Of course, you do not want to waste any of that high-gloss, high-cost photo stock.
Do a test print before you do a final run with photo paper. You can see if the size if the image was cropped correctly. Or if it is printing out in portrait or landscape mode. And other little things that we think we have done properly until we see that we actually have not.
Once everything is perfect, then do the final printing.
Consider photo service. If you are not in a rush to have your photos available five minutes after you take them, try to consider having them printed by a photo shop instead.
Because they deal in bulk, photo shops often charge a lot less per photo. A lot less than you would actually be paying if you printed it yourself. Just figure out the cost of the ink and of the paper.
You can get professional-quality prints without worrying about whether you should buy expensive photo inks in the first place.

Printing a Panorama at Home
Printing a Panorama at Home
by: Granny's Mettle
When you choose to print your photo panorama-style yourself, here are a few suggestions to help you:
You can use paper larger than your printer specs
The size of the paper depends on the size of the slot in the printer. For most home printers, this slot is limited to either the letter size width or slightly larger. Nevertheless, you have to take note that the letter size length is not limited though.
What one woman did was to buy a paper large than the standard size specified by her printer, then cut the paper so that the shorter part of the paper may be able to go through the slot of her printer, while keeping the longer edge full length.
There are also unusual paper sizes available in the market. And then just cut whatever size of paper you like. However, you have to check first that you can configure your printer settings to a custom paper size, as well as check that you can...

Getting to Know Inkjet Printers
Getting to Know Inkjet Printers
by: Bill Smith
Inkjet printers were born in the 1980s, replacing the popular dot matrix printer. Inkjet printers drop droplets of ink onto printer paper to produce text and images. The drops of ink are actually smaller than the width of a strand of hair, so don?t expect to actually see individual droplets on your printouts. It?s not like the older dot matrix, which produced much larger drops of ink.
There are several major printer technologies- the two largest categories being impact and non-impact. As you probably guessed, impact printers work by actually touching the paper to produce text and images. Dot matrix printers fall in this category. Non impact printers never actually touch the paper. Both inkjet and laser printers fall into this category.
So what makes an inkjet printer work? There are several key components found in all inkjet printers that make them tick. The most important and fragile piece...

Factors Affecting Color Accuracy
Factors Affecting Color Accuracy
by: Florie Lyn Masarate
Color is one of the most difficult parts of a design to show accurately to a customer. The reason behind this is because color perception is affected by many factors. Many people and printers are aware of this fact that is why they know how to closely monitor the factors to help get more accurate colors.
What are these factors?
Human Perception. The way a person sees color can vary, depending on the structure of a person?s eyes. This is particularly seen in the color blue. Color blindness is another factor. It can be very slight or quite severe.
Colors, when placed side by side, can make an impact on each other. This is better seen in reflection or visual illusion. Put into two colors alongside each other and you will notice that one or the other is taking in the color beside it.
Computer and Printing Technology. The average monitor has the tendency to show varying colors...
