Get the most from your Color Copier 

If you have just gotten yourself a new Xerox color copier then you are in for a treat. The newest and best machines from brands like Xerox give you the ability to take on your print jobs like never before. However, not everyone knows the best ways to utilize their color copier’s printing abilities. Luckily, you can get the most from your color copier with only a few simple steps.

The first thing you need to remember about your color copier is that it does not know what kind of job you want to do. It won’t automatically be able to detect the best settings for whatever job you plan to complete. That’s why you need to set your machine up to give you the best results possible.

Getting the most from your color copier is as simple as following these steps.

  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 instructions then your color copier should be ready to give you the brightest, boldest colors that you can imagine.
