Problems getting good quality photo prints using coloured paper.

I'm having problems getting good quality photo prints using coloured paper. I use ver. 8 PSP and HP scanjet 5470c. Both produce excellent results on white photo quality and passable draft results on high quality general printer paper. I cannot find a coloured paper which does not react with the ink. Do I need special paper? If so could you point me in the right direction? If you use coloured paper what sort/make do you use? Any other advice would be appreciated. Dave. Well, it is probably NOT the ink reacting with chemical in the colored paper. Inkjet and laser color printing is designed to print correctly, or reasonably so, on WHITE paper, because any white in the final image must be furnished by the white in the paper. Using colored paper isn't bad for just black text or B&W prints. You can still readily percieve the blacks and grays. But to print color images on colored paper would be impossible if there is any white in the image that needs to be produced. There is no way to produce white with inkjet or laserjet on colored paper.

Try using a photo editing program to add a coloured background then print on
white paper? Might be expensive on ink though. |

Might be expensive on ink though. another alternative, scan and sample the colored paper you want to print on and add it as a layer with your photo.. I cant give you details with psp as I use photoshop... Anyway, once you add that background , merge the layers and set your paper color background to white with color range.. you should then see the effects the color paper will have on your photo theoretically..... basically, the printer is expecting white paper, so if you set the color of your paper to white, you could then manipulate the photo to your liking to be usable on colored paper... The theory is there and I use techniques like this for diffrent projects.. |
