What type of paper setting should I adjust my printer to for printing business cards?

Win XP Pro Media 3rd ed.
No error message
no changes made to the system
I am trying to print out some business cards using Avery 5876 2-sided printable business cards.
When I print a test sheet out of my biz cards on regular 20# paper stock and adjust the settings just so, everything goes well and a trial run using the regular 20 # stock everything comes out great!  But when I put in the Avery card stock and hit go, the printer goes a lot slower while making the script and images very dark with excess toner on the card stock only.  But not on the paper stock. Why is this?  
Should I should change the paper settings on the printer from automatic to what setting for business card stock?  If so, to what setting? -- Special papers, greeting cards, brochure papers or what???  PLEASE ADVISE.
THANKS,
Scott

Is the stock designed for inkjet printers?  The cardstock is likley being misread as photo paper by the automatic sensor.  I would suggest trying with brochure paper, other inkjet paper or card stock in that order.

  • What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

    Hey Forum,
    I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
    or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
    All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
    Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
    But that is the exception that makes the rule.
    SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

  • What type of vga cord should i use?

    I just purchased a mac mini and it is on its way. I have a 22'' memorex lcd tv and it has a VGA plug in. What type of vga cord should i use? Theres male to male and theres male to female. Which cord should i use and does any1 know a site i can order it off of?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    i just did a quick google search for for dvi to vga cables, without the use of an adapter...
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dvito+vga+cable-adapter&btnG=Search
    the first site that came up...
    http://www.datapro.net/products/1145.html
    these cables would allow you to hook up the monitor without using the adapter... would just save a little bit of space if depth is at all an issue, or the visibility of the cable sticking out that far back.

    Does anybody know if the ipad air 1 is using yosemite or something different? I don't know what type of safari i should install because it disappeared from the ipad. Thanks!

    YYosemite is a Mac OS and it doesn't run on an iPad. You cannot delete or install Safari on the iPad. It is on your device somewhere.
    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • What type of Capture Deck should I get?

    Well I've been capturing footage from my Panasonic DVX-100a Camera for a while now into final cut, and I'm told that I am a fool for doing so (head damge to the camera), so...what type of capture deck should I get? I have about $500 to spend. Any websites or brand names that you could give me would be great thanks!

    I've gone off on this too many times, so I'll cut myself off as shortly as I can, but since you asked...
    I think a retail pricetag of ~ $1675.00 USD is excessive for a glorified VCR, yes. Sure they're handy and hardy, do timecode, A/D conversion, etc.. yes. Great. So do $200.00 cams. I'm guessing the DSR-11 costs about 100-150 USD to make. Compare it so say a Sony PS3 as far as components, R&D costs, the whopping avertisement cost of ZERO, etc, yes they're big fat sham. I understand the history behind the VTR and that it's target audience was primarily industrial/commercial/professional prior to the boom in consumer level NLEditing popularity. But now that we've got firestores and P2 cards and everyone and their brother has a computer with Vegas and a DV camera it's high time that Sony and others get with the program and drop prices on outdated technology.
    One always should pay a premium for any high end professional quality piece of machinery- but the DSR-11 in particular isn't THAT solid. Compare it to the DSR-30 in build quality and it's night and day. Then again the DSR-30 cost about 2x the DSR-11 when in production. (still doesn't weaken my argument at how costly the entry level machine is) They just aren't worth as much as they cost period, but due to a controlled market have stayed pricey. Someone should come along and sell a DSR-11 equivalent for 600 bucks, still make a handy profit, and force prices down.
    Remember.. you asked. Sorry regardless for the rant.
    (and I've heard the JVC VCR/combo is pretty weak before it gets mentioned. I mean a true equivalent.) The JVC thing should be sold for 300.

    One way to handle that is to use a session bean to access all the data at once and then send back a collection of objects. There's a Core J2EE pattern called session facade that can help:

  • What type of internal drive should I get for my Mac Pro?

    I want to buy a large internal hard drive for my Intel Mac Pro.
    1. What type do I need to get? What do I need to look for as far as specs?
    2. Anyone know what the largest sized one I can put inside it is?
    Thanks.

    Some drives over 2.2TB started using blocks 4K in size instead of the traditional 1/2K sized blocks. That does not sound like a Big Deal, but it changes the Error Correcting Codes needed and means a new data-separation algorithm inside the drive.
    For Operating Systems, it means that you want the smallest block to be 4K instead of 1/2K, because allocating blocks on 1/2K bound will give you logical blocks that split across physical blocks, which will be s-l-o-w.
    Mac OS designers saw that stuff coming and changed the software to accomodate it. They included it with other changes in GUID partition map, which worked well at 10.4.6 and later.

  • What type of blank DVD should I use to record photo images that are on my drive E

    I own a HP Pavilion dv5000 with an RW DVD + R DL multi recorder.  My question, which type of blank DVD should I use to record images that are on my drive E?  I can record without problems on a CR-R but when I try a blank DVD-R it won't work.  Please advise.

    Hi,
    Back to the good old days, HP supported only DVD +R discs, some vendors supported DVD -R discs. Now all vendors support both. You may want to try blank DVD +R. Hope this works. Please post back the result.

  • Shift or Adjust All Pages/Content for Print

    Is there a way to shift all content in an entire publication by specified amounts, from one central location or command - as a temporary "effect"?
    I work with a document containing a set of labels (@70) that print the variable, b&w text portions of products onto otherwise pre-printed labels (color background images and logos).
    I export the document to PDF for printing the labels, because the production crew that prints the labels on demand doesn't have access to InDesign (nor do I wish to teach them to use InDesign). So I'm actually printing from the PDF, but nevertheless all the content therefore has to be shifted in InDesign.
    When printing, the printer always prints off by @ 1/16" in one or more dimensions. (Changes with the weather, too; or maybe with wear on the printer.) This printer does not have functionality in its driver to shift the page images.
    (Getting a different printer is not an answer. We have to have certain printers because they set the ink hot enough to make it stick to the labels, but are still affordable enough. Besides, every printer ends up having its quirks - even our larger printer that is the exact same as those used by Kinkos for more routine color printing.)
    Given the quirks printers always have, I'd be sorely surprised if InDesign doesn't offer some functionality to easily allow shifting of all content before printing, exporting to PDF, or other purposes; but I can't find any sign of such a feature. This would be a useful feature, Adobe folks (hint, hint ).
    My prior solution for smaller label sets I've created in InDesign, is to create a new layer, copy all content, including those on master pages, and then shift that content, thereby maintaining an exact, true layout for future needs, too. I really don't want to do this for 70 labels, though; plus it'd be nice to not have the worry of potentially creating out-of-sync content between the different layers.
    I see Liquid Layouts, but I don't think that'll accomplish what I need any better. I need the page to stay the same size with the content in a slightly different place on it, not to change sizes. Can Liquid Layouts be made to work anyway? It could at least keep the content synced.

    I tried to dig up some links for  you re: InDesign's excellent support for automation in Javascript, but it seems like recent changes to Adobe help resources have caused link breakage, e.g. what should have been a link to the CS5 Scripting Guide was actually a page about how cool InDesign CS6 is going to be. In Turkish. You don't read Turkish, do you?
    If not, forums regular Jongware has a bunch of really useful Javascript reference material publicly available in a variety of formats.You may want to pay a visit to the InDesign Scripting Forum if you are interested in that kind of thing.

  • What is the best high res image file format to use for print

    Dear All,
    I'm working on a 300 + page catalog, and I was wondering what would be the best image format to use on the catalog. I thought png was the best since it supports background transparency and all, but for some reason I'm not able to export it once I change the image to CMYK ( since I need CMYK for print ). Should I save all in eps. instead? Please help would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    Jack

    .psd is the best... supports everything you would want for print.  PDF does also, but takes a little more knowledge to use properly.
    .png is recommended when using Word etc.
    EPS is obsolete.

  • What setting should I use to save file for upload to youtube

    Hi,
    the link below is the video on youtube that I just saved using the first setting that I always use using Flash.  Now because of the change over, as we have discussed I have to save the file then upload it for sites I upload to after the change.  I know I can save it on the For Windows one but it is not HD.  As you will see when you play this video it is all shakey (and not because I am shaking the camera   ).
    The other link is the non shakey saved for windows version.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfjoqXIm2q0 Flash
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2OwQ3GTSPE (saved For Windows)
    Should I just resign my self to using the work around and use the save for Windows and not the FLASH.  or is there a setting I can use that gets rid of the shake.   However, since most of what I post is for people trying to sell their horses I would like the best quality I can get up on YouTube.
    Thanks for your help.  I really do appreciate it very much.  Saves me hours of time.
    Sarah

    Because YouTube is so unpredictable -- and always changing it encoding systems -- your best bet is to use the workaround and output as a WMV file.

  • What type of internal table should I use based from my scenario...

    Hello Experts,
    I am currently having a dillema here because I am trying to optimize a certain
    part of a report where in the internal table contains around 300,000 lines of
    records. The original internal table is of type standard table. So what the original
    programmer did was to delete certain records in a given condition then sort it
    by fields 1 and 2 in ascending order. Now, it then loops through that internal table
    but gives run time error because it exceeded the limit in our prod server which is only 10 mins.
    Now what I did was to try modifying the internal table to make it of type sorted. This is to eliminate
    the sort statement. I dont know if what I am doing is right. Help would be greatly appreciated and
    rewarded. Thanks a lot guys and take care!

    I am going to assume you already have at least 1 high quality backup disk. If you do not that should be your #1 priority. NEVER use a backup disk to also store data files though!!!
    However back to your original question and off my soapbox! Many experienced users on these forums prefer OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series of EHD. Very high quality, reasonable cost and excellent service. Here is the link to get you started:

    Some Envy 15 models came with second bay inside aleady but need reference your model against the service manual downloadable from hp at the support link on this site.
    If you don't have model with second drive bay then indeed a caddy for optical bay is easy option.
    Your optical bay is 9.5mm Sata interface & they are inustry standard so simple to buy.
