Canon S520 Print Quality Problem |
|
|
I have a weird problem with my Canon S520. For some reason, it has decided
it won't print at full photo quality... not very often, anyway.
I print single prints from Photshop on photopaper at high quality, but most
of them seem to print at standard quality for normal paper, and as a result,
the colors aren't very nice. If I change the printer settings back and forth
between some other settings, do a print with those and then go back to high
quality photo printing, sometimes it will work, but more often than not, it
won't.
It's 100% consistent, in the sense that once it does print correctly, there
are no variations throughout the print. I have tried all the obvious things,
like re-installing the drivers, cleaning the heads, new cartridges, etc, but
it makes no difference whatsoever.
Like I said, I have only managed to get it to work when I have gone back and
forth through the settings, and even then it only works once in a blue moon,
so it could just be random. If anybody has any ideas, or have had this
problem, I would really appreciate some help, as it's driving me insane, and
I have wasted a fortune on photo paper now.
TIA,
Chris |

Photoshop could be using its own printer profiles resulting in double
profiling. Have you tried using a different application for printing such
as
the one supplied with the printer, Easy Photo Print? If so were the
results
any different?

Yep, tried that too. No difference. They all use the same driver/setup. It's
very strange. |
