Solve : Unknown Paper? |
|
Answer» I have some post card paper, that it seems too be. I am trying too figure out the print settings so that they look nice when I print something off cause, I want too resell these. When I make a print too and have it set too the best it COMES out light and will smear. I am useing a HP Deskjet F4440Are you sure the paper is InkJet printable? If it's glossy and not designed for InkJets the ink will not stick to it properly. You may want to see if your printer has some sort of "photo paper" setting and try that to make it place down as much ink as possible then leave it to dry for a while - Ink on photo paper takes some time before it won't smear.Quote from: camerongray on January 01, 2016, 07:31:03 AM Ink on photo paper takes some time before it won't smear.Like at least 1 hour before you can stack them one on top of another and 24 hours for the ink to fully cure so you can frame them. For best results (especially if you want to sell prints) buy paper of known brand and follow the makers instructions carefully. They may be 'finger dry' after a few minutes but believe me some ink/paper combinations can take 24 hours plus before you can be sure they won't suffer. It is the glossy kind but, with some prints it turns out fine and OTHERS kind of smear if after wards. The only real trouble with paper that comes with printers though :/Look online and find a number of firms that will help you make and sell custom post cards. It is cheaper to have a outside firm do the printing. Some OFFER 24 hour turn around.I don't know any an what I want on the cards is rather something that I want too be able too add on to the card's myself.My friend who sells photos for a living, and also frames them if needed, says getting the right paper is very important. I took a print and placed it near a FIRE place, for a few hours and checked it. The ink was still not wanting too stay on it. I have older prints where the same problem is occuring, however, if I run off say like a differnt picture it doesn't have the issue.It still comes down to this... The printer needs to support photo-quality printing... Some photo printers require seperate photo quality ink cartridges... Utmost importance is the photo paper itself. |
