Using less ink for aperture printing

i need to print photos for temporary use -
i do not need to worry about quality -
i want to use as little printer ink as possible.
i just need a simple image to place them on a layout.
should i resize them and keep them as a version for
doing this?
and how would i do this?

There should be a quality setting in the print options for your printer. Depending on the model, the options may be named differently, like "draft" quality, etc. That is not an Aperture option. Those options should appear in a separate dialogue box after you've gone through all the Aperture print options. In the last Print dialogue box, make sure the triangle next to the name of your printer is pointing up to reveal all the printer's options.

  • 564 black ink - printer using photo ink for general printing!

    I ran out of regular black ink for my Photosmart C6380 a couple of weeks ago.  Had a full cartridge of photo black, but none was used - pages were very faint gray.  After replacing the empty cartridge with a 564XL, I see that my photo black is now half empty while the regular black ink is full and has not been touched at all!!  Where's the confusion?  How do I make the printer draw from the standard ink cartridge instead of the photo?  It won't work without every cartridge in place.

    Hi Selig,
    Thanks for posting you issue on forum,
    From what i understand you would like to Print use black ink only instead of photo black.
    You have an option under the printer driver which says Black ink only, by selecting that you will not be able to print color. On most cases this should help you use the black cartridge over the photo black.
    If you have to print color you might need to change this option,
    I dont have the printer over here but the steps are from best of my knowledge.
    Go to Control Panel>> Devices and Printers>> Highlight Printer>>Right click on Printer and click Printing Preferences.
    Click on Advance>>click on the drop down for Print in Greyscale and select Black Ink only
    with newer driver we have this option under Printing Preferences>>Paper/Quality tab and under Quality settings.

  • What uses less ink, plain paper fast draft, or photo paper best.

    What uses less ink, plain paper fast draft, or photo paper best.  I'm not looking for quality, just less ink used.  I also used photo paper, then selected plain paper fast draft.  Not great quality, as expected, but still looking to use less ink.  My guess is the plain paper uses more, because it is more porous. My printer is an hp Deskjet 2050.  My operating system is, 64-bit Intel Core I-7-2670 QM.
    Thank You for any assistance

    View Solution.

    The printer will put droplets of ink on the page based on what it detects the media is (for printers with "Automatic" as a paper type) or the specified media in the driver.
    If you select plain paper, draft and print on photo paper it would use the same amount of ink as if you put in plain paper.  The results are likely to be very very poor if you do that, for several reasons:
    The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper, it will not dry properly.  When photo media is selected the printer will not use the pigmentd black ink even to print text, it will mix color to make black.
    It takes much more ink to give proper photo settings on photo paper as compared to plain paper.  Using plain paper draft settings is likely to result in an unusable photo paper page, ruining a $1 sheet of photo paper to save a $0.20 worth of ink - not a good tradeoff.
    If you plan to print a lot of photo's you might consider a printer that uses the HP Ink advantage subscription service.  This service is based on pages printed, and they count photo pages the same as plain paper, even though a full page photo may use 10x or more the ink of a plain paper text page.

  • Using system fonts for commercial printing?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the licensing rights/usage for using system fonts for commercial printing? If I understand correctly, system fonts that comes from operating system CAN be use because Apple purchase the rights on them and end users that purchase OS can use these fonts freely as long as not we are not redistributing them for profit, etc.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction with official documentation on the subject?
    Thanks!

    Never mind, I found the answer. It's in Apple's OS EULA.
    "E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included
    with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however,
    you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions
    accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font
    Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel."

  • Using Airport Express for a printer

    I have placed my laser printer on our main floor since that is where I am most and I was unable to connect wirelessly using my desktop PC (not Mac) through the network in our basement. I was told I could do it by getting the Airport Express. However, it appears that I need to have the ethernet of the network plugged into the Airport Express to print to it. I do not have internet on the main floor. I was hoping to basically use the Airport Express directly to the printer.
    ie. Mac Laptop anywhere in house. Airport Express plugged into power supply with usb from printer to Airport Express. Print from my Mac Laptop or my PC laptop or even my PC desktop in the basement.
    Is there a way to extend the network, maybe?
    Does this not work???

    Okay.... so, I got my MacBook to connect to the printer no problem once I figured out one thing.
    But, I have installed Airport Utility on my Dell PC. I installed Bonjour, but, through all the "Help" items, it isn't real clear how I am supposed to add the printer. I say "search for printer", but it doesn't show. The help just indicates install Bonjour and follow the instructions on how to connect to the computer, but after Bonjour was installed, all it said as far as I knew was it was installed. I tried accessing the install again to go through the process but was unable to ... I think the install file was deleted and now, when I try to reinstall the whole airport utility, it is denied since I have a newer version of airport utility installed (I updated).
    Please help.... I even checked to see if Port 5353 was open, and Bonjour already did it for me.
    Airport Utility sees the airport from my PC, and it lists the printer I had "installed" while on my Mac, but, I can't seem to "find" it when I browse for the printer under the add printers.

  • Using Airport Express for wireless printing and possibly streaming music

    I have had the toughest time figuring out this Airport Express. It seems there are so many different ways to set it up. I've tried to read forums but just can't seem to wrap my head around what I need to do. I tried awhile back to join my network wirelessly but was having problems.
    I don't really care about extending my current network. My internet service is through Verizon Fios and the router they provided works just fine and don't have any issues with connecting anywhere in the house. I bought the AE to be able to print wirelessly and stream music from my iMac in another room.
    So to print wirelessly obviously the printer has to be plugged in to the AE, but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is? When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    My first priority is to print wirelessly. If I can get it to work It'd be cool to stream music from my iMac. Obviously the AE needs to be where the speakers are, but again, does the AE have to plugged in to the router? And again, is this done through my existing network? Or do I have to stream music through a 2nd network? I apologize if i'm asking the same questions that have been asked in previous forums, I just haven't been successful thus far so wanted to see what response or tips I could get. Thanks.
    My existing network has "WPA Personal" security set up on it if you need to know that.

    but does the AE have to be plugged into my router? Or can I have the AE anywhere in the house wherever the printer is?
    If you configure the Express correctly to "join" your FIOS wireless network, you can position it anywhere that it will receive a good, strong wireless signal.
    The trick to setting the Express up to "join" is that you must choose exactly the same type of security for the Express as your main router is using. This is tricky when you are using devices from two different manufacturers because they often use different names for the same thing.
    For example, when you say that the FIOS is setup to WPA Personal, we really need more information. There's usually a TKIP or AES associated with WPA. You have two choices on the Express for WPA settings, WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal. We can only guess which one might be the correct match for your FIOS network and if you don't choose the right setting, the Express cannot join the network and you have to start the configuration all over again from scratch and try the other setting.
    Does your Fios have a setting for WPA2 Personal? Some manufacturers label this WPA2-PSK (AES). Or, maybe you find that your FIOS is using WPA-PSK (TKIP), which is the same thing as Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal. It's confusing. That's why we tell users to choose wireless gear from the same manufacturer. It's much easier when two devices talk the same language.
    When I print, am I using my existing network or do I have to disconnect a computer from the wireless network and access a 2nd network to be able to print?
    If you have a compatible printer plugged into the USB port on the AirPort Express and have "installed" the printer by setting it up, you will be able to print over your existing wireless network.
    First things first. You need to get the Express setup to "join" correctly and get a green light. Then, tackle the printer setup.

  • What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

    Hi
    We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
    My Question is:
    1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
    2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms  - <i> We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high</i>
    3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
    Regards
    Morten Nielsen

    Hi Morten,
    1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
        As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
    2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
    SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
      We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
    3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
      It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
    But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
    Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

  • Why can I only use HP ink for my Photosmart Printer?

    HP ink is ridiculously expensive. We all know that. That's how your company became successful and your executive's became rich. Fine. But, you did not become successful by selling printers or any other "hardware", you became successful by selling INK. Selling it at wildly inflated prices. Here's another example: Movie theaters make all their money, not through ticket sales (i.e. selling printers) but by selling popcorn at ridiculous prices (by selling ink at ridiculous prices).
    I see, on Amazon and a number of other sites, "refurbished" cartridges. Are they refurbished by HP? I'm quite seiously considering getting a non-HP printer and returning my Photosmart 6520 to Amazon.Com . Getting a non-HP printer. I will also check to see what Consumer Reports says.
    Meanwhile, I am going through ink like it's water. I get maybe TEN PHOTOS printed out per cartridge."Photosmart" is right. You were VERY smart! You sucker us in with excellent machines, then drain us of every dime we make replacing your fraudulent cartridges. "Fraudulent"? Yup. You have your machines say "Ink is "low". With the cartridge still one third filled. That's not LOW. And, you KNOW that. But, you send endless messages, one after another after another after another trying to freak us out, SCARE us into buying more and more and more and more.... INK.  Frankly, because of your fraudulent "warning system", I probably throw OUT as much ink as I USE!   And, that is JUST the way you like it. I GET it. WE ALL GET IT.
    And, those air boxes saying "Do you want a reward?" I click "YES". Nothing. Nothing.
    Can you tell me anything at all that will allow me to stay with HP? I think the quality of your printers is quite high. But, I cannot afford multiple hundreds of dollars a yearon INK. I'm just not that stupid. Currently, after only a few weeks, I am spending more money on ink than I am on FOOD.  I will not continue to do so.
    CAN you help me somehow? Is there a way to make more reasonable the prices of your ink cartridges by either extending life or buying refurbished?
    I await your answer.

    Hi,
    Firstly I'd like to clarify myself: I'm not working for any hardware and software vendor. I've posted few times: they (all of them) don't sell printers, they sell inks because in many cases total cost of a new set of inks is more expensive than a new printer with inks (I know cartridges are not full). Since inks are very expensive, many people use chip resetters, continuous inks systems .... to reduce printing cost such as some thing like one of this.

  • Use ZBBP_PO smartform for PO printing in SUS

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to use the SRM PO smartform for output in SUS?
    That is, if the vendor prints the PO form in SUS, is it possible to call the smartform ZBBP_PO instead of ZBBP_SUSPO?
    Would really appreciate any help.
    Regards,
    Kezia

    Hi,
    For SUS for any Output you can use the BADI BBP_SUS_DOWNLD_FILES for printing.
    Just check following help
    Use
    You can use this Business Add-in (BAdI) to specify file names and folders that differ from those used in the standard system for downloading documents. You can also specify the XSLT program the system uses for converting from XML to CSV, as well as the form the system uses for printing documents.
    Standard settings
    SAP does not deliver a standard implementation for this BAdI. If there is no active implementation, the system uses the following:
    • File name for:
    o Purchase order: PO_<purchase order number>
    o Confirmation: CONF_<Confirmation number>
    o Shipping notification: ASN_<shipping notification number>
    o Invoice: INV_<invoice number>
    • XSLT program for:
    o Purchase order: BBP_SUS_XML2CSV_ORDER
    o Confirmation: BBP_SUS_XML2CSV_CONF
    o Shipping notification: BBP_SUS_XML2CSV_ASN
    o Invoice: BBP_SUS_XML2CSV_INV
    • Output form for:
    o Purchase order: BBP_SUSPO
    o Confirmation: BBP_SUSCONF
    o Shipping notification: BBP_SUSASN
    o Invoice: BBP_SUSINV
    The BAdI provides the FILES_MODIFY method with the following parameters:
    Importing
    IV_OBJTYPE Document type (purchase order or invoice)
    IV_OBJID Document number
    Changing
    EV_XML_FNAME XML file name
    EV_CSV_FNAME CSV file name
    EV_PDF_FNAME PDF file name
    EV_REL_DIR relative folder
    EV_XSLT_PNAME XSLT program
    EV_SMARTFORM output form
    Activities
    If you want to use file names or forms that differ from the standard system, implement the BAdI and activate the implementation.
    Example
    include BBP_PD_CON_CL.
    CASE iv_objtype.
    Order
    WHEN c_suspo.
    ev_xslt_pname = 'YOUR_ENTRY'.
    ev_xml_fname = 'YOUR_ENTRY'.
    ASN
    WHEN c_susasn.
    ev_xslt_pname = 'YOUR_ENTRY'
    INVOICE
    WHEN c_susinv.
    ev_smartform = 'YOUR_ENTRY'.
    CONFIRMATION
    WHEN c_suscf.
    ev_xslt_pname = 'YOUR_ENTRY'.
    ENDCASE.
    See these related threads:
    Smartform for SUS PO
    Re: MODIFICATION IN OUT PUT (pdf) OF SUS PO
    You need to implement the above mentioned BADI to call another Form(other then the std ).

  • Using Mac & PC for wireless printing?

    Many questions to this answer for printing wireless.
    1) can my Quicksilver 2002 use a Airport Extreme
    card? If not what is my other option since I can't
    find a normal Airport card?
    No, the QS2002 uses the original AirPort card. Look at the Linksys WET54G as a good solution, or you may also choose a PCI card, like the Sonnett Aria.
    2) I want to get the AirPort Express to print
    wireless, will I need the AirPort Base Station to do
    that?
    The AirPort Express is a base station. Your set-up of the AX will depend on your current networking equipment.
    3) I would also like to print with with PC Laptop
    that has a Intel(R) Pro/wireless 29151A BG Network
    Connection and the value is set at 802.11b/g

    It will.

  • Using black ink cartrige only when receiving faxes

    I have an HP 6600 Deskjet printer in my office.  it is used primarily as fax machine.  I go through quite a few color cartridges.  Have found this puzzling since faxes are black and white.  Was told by rep a Office Depot that is was because all color cartridges are being used to make the black ink for faxes.
    Is there any way to set fax option to use black ink cartridge only?  Thank you.

    Hello!
    Welcome to the forums @carperwm 
    I understand you are looking to see if you can use black ink only when printing out faxes, with your Officejet 6600.
    Unfortunately you cannot, as the ink system will continue to work all together to print out the faxes.
    However, you can choose to print in black ink only from your computer, check out these guides for help on changing the settings:
    Changing Print Settings in Mac OS X
    Changing Print Settings in Windows 7
    I hope the information helps, have a great day
