How To Get The Best Printout

•	Use original inks to prevent clogging, leaks and bleeding.
•	Use the right type of paper to get the most out of your printer. For instance, use glossy photo paper when printing photos.
•	Set the driver settings correctly.
•	Use good quality paper even for printing drafts as it prevents paper dust from clogging the printer.
•	Make sure your printer cable is not twisted as it affects the speed of USB connection.
•	Keep printout from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting as they reduce storage period of printouts.
•	Check if you need to replace the printheads. After many hours of extensive printing, a printhead may be choked with dried ink *Excerp taken from Canon Tips and Tricks

Tips On Improving Yield

Making the most of your printer investment doesn't always mean adding bells and whistles to your hardware. In fact, the print cartridges account for 70% of your printer's imaging system. Every time you replace a toner cartridge in your printer, it's like replacing an engine in your car.

Meeting standards for print quality, and keeping productivity high by reducing the extra labor required when projects don't turn out right the first time, can be as easy as observing these simple rules of thumb:

• Use maximum capacity print cartridges

• Take advantage of the "no-shake" feature in many of our cartridges

• Print with high quality paper

Maximum capacity print cartridges
