Best printer to use?

could anyone help? is there a good printer that works well with my system ??

What are you going to use the printer for? Do you want color? Do you want it to be photo perfect? Would you like a laser printer, or ink-jet? Do you have a budget in mind?
There are lots of printers that work with Macs running 10.7.5. If you'll be a little more specific we can probably help you.
Best of luck.

  • CS5 Best print quality using "Image" options ?

    Hi.
    I have recently upgraded CS5 from 32 bit to 64 using Windows 7. I am trying to maximise print qualty. But notice that "Image" menu only offers 8,16 and 32 bit. The menu is preselected to 8 bit (? Improted picture qualtiy) and if I reselect to 32 bit, I lose the option to print. Can you help me please? Nai

    This has nothing to do with print quality. You seriously need to read the help and do a generic web search on print stuff...

  • Best Printer For Graphic Design

    We are looking to start printing and selling some of our graphic design works as prints similar to this - http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/placeinprint/product/brixton-academy-blueprint-art-print
    What is the best printer to use - inkjet or laser
    Any recommendations on printer?
    This printer - Buy CANON PIXMA PRO-100 Wireless A3 Inkjet Printer | Free Delivery | Currys - seems to have good reviews and specs, will this do the job?
    Any recommendations on where to source good quality card for the prints?
    Thanks

    Had 2 Phaser 7700's - excellent print quality - large footprint, overpriced and consumeables are expensive
    Currently have a Konica Minolta Magicolor 7450 - print quality close to the Phasers, large footprint, good price, consumables much cheaper than the Phasers - Noisy, not great in a small office.
    No FHE with the OKI but it looks like a nice machine. Best to find a dealer and check out print quality and if you have small space watch out for the fans humming it can get overwhelming intrusive.

  • Running a Mac G3, having been using a Laserwriter Select 360, but it and two others are now dead. What is the next best or better printer to use?

    I am running a desktop beige Mac G3 and have been using a Laserwriter Select 360, but it an two others are now dead.
    What is an equal or better printer to use with the Mac?

    Hey, BD, I looked at Brothers last night in connection to this questiona and it looks like their newest/current laser print-only units go back to 10.4 but no further.
    Brother is the best hope but the OP may need to look for an older model still in stock. For example, for our older Brother HL5250DN, they still show OS9 drivers:
    http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?r eg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=hl5250dn_all
    Gary, web-check for stores that still have older models on teh shelf. You can also look at "newer-but-not-new" and then use the Brother site to check for OS9 drivers.
    Founds some of my model on eBay:
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Brother+HL-5250DN
    We paid US$199 for ours new about seven years ago. It's been a real workhorse and trouble-free. Well, except for the time my wife tried to feed it a odd paper stock that was not on the printer's official diet!
    A Beige G3 consideration: The Big Beige doesn't come with USB ports. You must add a PCI USB adaptor card, and the ones that worked in the Beige are harder to find today.
    However, the Beige has built-in ethernet so if you get a printer with an ethernet connector, you will be in bisiness with neither the expense of an extra adaptor card nor the occasional buttheadedness of USB printing. The "N" in our Brother model designates it as a network printer so it has an ethernet port. Many others do also.

  • What is the best multifunction printer to use with mountain lion

    Trying to find the best multifunction printer for use with 10.8.4.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

    What are you looking for in a printer? Laser or inkjet? Fax as well? If inkjet & fax, I can recommend the Canon PIXMA MG922.

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

  • Pre-Size Your PPI for Best Print - Once Good Advice Still Good?

    In another thread someone mentinoed pre-sizing image data to prepare it for best printing.
    For a long time it's been "standard advice" to resize images so that the ppi is an even division of the printer's dpi, because some years ago occasionally one would run across printers that would produce poor results if you didn't - you might see jaggies in straight edges for example.
    Thing is, computers have (not so) quietly been getting more powerful over time, and printer makers have been competing with one another to try to make their printers produce better results than the other guys.  One way they've done this is by improving the quality of the algorithms in the printer drivers.  Use of mega storage and high accuracy math, which was once taxing on older computer systems, is now standard practice.
    So it's time to question the old rule of thumb.
    Making a few assumptions about the many variables (what printer, what OS, what version of drivers, what application being used to print) , there seem to be several questions here:
    1.  Can the image resolution be too high, causing the printer driver to make bad decisions about what ink dots to lay down where on the paper?
    2.  Does it help or matter if the image PPI is an even division of the printer's DPI?
    As I have done in the past, I set out to do some actual testing, to see if I can actually SEE anything to help answer these questions.
    I created a sharp image to be printed at 3 x 2 inches:  http://Noel.ProDigitalSoftware.com/ForumPosts/Ghirardelli.jpg
    Then I printed it at 6 different resolutions (1000, 720, 567, 300, 200, and 100 ppi) by resampling the image, labeling it, printing from Photoshop CS5, and feeding the same sheet of HP Premium Plus photo paper through my older HP 932c inkjet printer 6 times.  The printer was set to its highest quality settings, including 2400 x 1200 dpi mode.  This was the result:
    I then looked critically and as objectively as I could at the different images.  Here are my observations:
    Naked eye:
    The four highest resolution images (1000, 720, 567, and 300 ppi) all seemed to have an equivalent high level of crisp detail.
    I could not detect the inkjet dots.  Smooth objects look smooth.
    Jeweler's Loupe:
    I could see significant reduction in the finest details in the 300 ppi print vs. the three higher resolution prints, and a slight reduction in the 567 ppi vs. 720.
    At no resolution were any jaggies or evidence of aliasing visible.
    The inkjet dot pattern was plainly visible, and it does differ between the different prints.  But it was not possible to say whether one was "better".
    Things seem to have a little more texture in the 1000 ppi print vs. the 720 and 567 ppi prints.
    Macro Photo:
    Lacking a high resolution scanner, I took photographs of the 6 different prints.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to set up with my best lighting and lens combination, so I got some reflections off the glossy paper, and and at this resolution I can't really see the inkject dots in the photos.  I want to repeat this when I can find more time to do it better.  As I did these photos hand-held, I believe the variances between them could be slightly influencing the results.  But I'm going to post them anyway, for you to see.
    I could see ever so slightly more detail in the 720 ppi print vs. the 1000 ppi print, though from the size of the tiny dust/light reflections I think it may have just been the better focused.  Note that this observation is not supported by direct observation through the jeweler's loupe, above.
    The 1000 ppi and 567 ppi prints seems to have slightly more noise or texture than the 720 ppi print.  Again, this might be issues introduced by the photography process, though I did note a possible increase in texture in the 1000 ppi print with the jeweler's loupe as well.
    Beyond just the blurring, I could see some evidence that straight lines are not quite as straight in the lower resolutions (300 ppi and lower).  This seemed more apparent than with the jeweler's loupe examination, and I wonder whether the Photoshop downsampling process could have introduced it.
    Left to right, top to bottom:  1000, 720, 567, 300, 200, 100:
    Conclusions:
    Printing to my HP 932c inkject printer on Windows 7 x64
    300 ppi is not sufficient to coax the best possible detail out of an inkjet printer.  It appears a number in the vicinity of 720 or more is better, and this number could be much higher with modern very high resolution printers (mine's old). 
    Speed was no different in printing any of these - a modern computer can process a huge amount of data in the blink of an eye.
    When a sufficiently high resolution image is printed (in this case 567 ppi or higher) I saw virtually no evidence that a particular ppi value is superior, for example an even division of the printer's dpi, though in hindsight I realize I should have prepared a 600 ppi image (duh).  I will add a 600 ppi image before I re-photograph the results.
    It's possible ever so slightly more texture becomes visible at 1000 ppi than 720 ppi, but it might be just noise.
    Practically speaking, from looking critically at the results I could not see a reason to pre-size the image for a specific ppi value.
    I encourage you to experiment and report your results with your particular combination of gear.
    Your comments are welcome!

    I would never suggest people actually downsample though...why waste the pixels?
    Exactly.  There was a statement in another recent thread that downsampling to be an even fraction of the print dpi was important to do.
    It might have been a misapplied extension of the advice to upsample.  It's not been all that long that we've had big enough high resolution data that even makes downsampling a possibility.
    -Noel
    I believe I was the one to make that statement, which was based on recommendations by an Epson Print expert at a seminar demoing printers. He showed to prints from the same file, one set at an even multiple of 720 and the other some random number. It was subtle but visible the difference. That was probably 5 years ago.
    In the meantime, I have made extensive tests of prints on my Epson 3800 trying many combinations of single pass, hi speed, Super fine print (2880x1440) and down to the basic level.
    Everything evened out at 720 dpi. At 360, which is where I output from ACR, I can make an 8x12 print with no resampling whatsoever. Upping that to 720 and pushing the printer hard (2880x1440, single pass on Canson Platine), I see a discernable difference in the smooth tonalities.
    As I understood you from past conversations, you employ the maximum output size from ACR which in my case, would double the file size by upsampling, and if necessary, downsample from that. I am not comfortable doing that as a default operation, but perhaps Jeff S might step in here and clarify.  After all, ACR does offer that option! But my file size now goes from ~70MP to 143 MP, cutting my storage capability by 1/2. It's not a trivial matter when two of us here can run 600 to 800 images in 1/2 day!

    Hi.
    I think I solved this yesterday. We got 1 printserver, with an alias, which we had this problem to connect to. I noticed that there is a difference between x86 and 64bits system entries in the registry...
    When you are having a 64bit system, you must use REG_QWORD instead of REG_DWORD, REG_DWORD is only to be used in x86 system! See below.
    Windows 2008 server R2 64-bit 
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
    = ”DnsOnWire” = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
    (reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters
    = DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
    (reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v DisableStrictNameChecking /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters\ 
    REG_SZ = OptionalNames = “aliasname” (C-name record in DNS)
    (reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v OptionalNames /t REG_SZ)
    Windows 2008 server x86 
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print = "DnsOnWire" = REG_DWORD Decimal = 1
    (reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_DWORD /d 1)
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Lanmanserver\Parameters = DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_DWORD Decimal = 1
    (reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v DisableStrictNameChecking /t REG_DWORD /d 1)

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Color management settings for the best print output

    Color Management while Printing has been one of the challenging areas which has been discussed a lot over user forums and has been a painful area in terms of clear understanding while taking print outputs.
    Here is an easy-to-understand KB (Knowledge Base) article ‘Color management settings for the best print output’ to help you get the best from your printers using PSE and bridge that knowledge gap.
    This article explains color management in Photoshop Elements, how to get better prints, and addresses some of the following issues like horizontal/vertical streaks in print output, too dark or too light print output, ICC profile problems and Color differences between prints from PSE and other applications.
    Thanks,
    Garry

    Thanks Noel.
    Yes have shared in PSE forum as well. But I usually drop such posts on PS General forum so community moderators as well as our power users who mostly use both PS or PSE or are aware about can communicate to their students, audiences etc.
    The idea is to reach out the message to as many as folks via relevant forums. Most of my otehr posts have found mentioned only on PSE forum.
    Thanks for the feedback Nice to hear such a great feedback within 5 mts of publishing

  • Print Images using FOP

    Can we print images using FOP by taking it from the database ? Iam using the FOP and outputing to a PDF. However, I have an image that I would like to print. The image is stored in the database as a BLOB. How can I print this image in the PDF document ?
    (b) Alternatively, if this is not possible, do we need to move the image to a physical file system and use <img src> and print ? If so, how can we move the image to the file system ? I found only UTL_FILE can do this ? But Iam not sure if it can work properly for Image file. When I tested this using utl_file, my image file got corrupted.
