Getting the Best Colors from your Copier

Getting the best colors from your copier is not difficult to do. It sounds easy enough, but many people don’t take the time to truly understand their office machines. What you need to understand is that office copiers have become very advanced as time has passed, but they have also become streamlined in their processes. This allows you to get the best results without difficulty.

If you want to get the best colors from your copier then you just need to know how to set your copier up to give you the best results. If you follow these steps then you should start seeing the best, brightest colors that your office copier can offer.

  1. Set your print resolution. Make sure that it is as high as it can go. Most printers have settings that go as high as 1800 x 600 dpi, or even 2400 x 1200. More dpi means better pictures.
  2. Set your print driver. Make sure you change from the text setting to the photo setting. This will prepare your printer for a bolder image.
  3. Set print drive to full color. This will open a new range of colors available.
  4. Use Adobe PostScript print drive. Your greens, blues, and reds will be changed into cyan, magenta, yellow, and black values. This will create a fully color spectrum.
  5. Check your digital format. Jpeg, PDF, and PNG will create better images than TIFF or Bitmap photo.

If you follow these steps then there should be no reason to not get the best colors that you machine can give you.
