Getting the Best Color from your Office Copier

Almost everyone has used a copier in their life, but not everyone knows how to use them correctly. By “correctly” we mean to say that most people never take the time to know how to utilize their copier to its fullest extent. Many people will just send print and copy jobs to their office machine and never think twice about it. However, this will often lead to poor color and lousy resolution. We want to show you that getting the best color from your office copier is not hard, as long as you know what you are doing.

What you are going to want to realize is that your office copier has a number of settings that you can adjust. These settings are there to help you setup your machine for whatever job you have planned. This will help you get the best colors and brightest images from your office copier.

Simply follow these steps to start seeing a great improvement in your color copier.

  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 you should start seeing amazing results in no time.
