Staples matte photo supreme pro#

I am going to continue playing with the printer profile some - just printed out the target again using the Photo Paper Pro setting with Q=1 on my ip6000D. The matte finish of this paper makes for a great photo. Printed out a picture that has also been printed on the Kirkland glossy paper and compared the two. Printed out a couple of the stock test prints - the grays are very clean and the colors look great.

Yesterday I printed out the printer target page and let it dry thoroughly over night - this morning I made the profile. I have Profile Prism and have used it to profile the Costco Kirkland glossy paper with the Hobbicolor UW8 inks I am using with good results. Finally got around to printing with it - wanted to make a printer profile for it before doing much printing. Just a follow up on my experience with the Staples matte paper. You can also prepare the poster-size file and take it to Kinko's for printings so there are no seams. The edges of the individual panels do show when looking up close, but it does give you an opportunity to print much larger than the printer format.

I've done some 20x30 posters in nine panels and mounted them on 20x30 foam core display board.

I downloaded a poster program that breaks up the image into sections that can be printed on my i960 - 8.5x11 paper size. It is a much lighter weight than the Staples photo supreme double sided matte paper, but it is suitable for other projects. Special coated papers give the best rendition of photos short of using glossy papers.įor a short time our Costco store had Kodak matte inkjet paper at a great price. I have used non-coated card stock in the past, but the color response with inkjet photos was pretty flat. In addition, it is the best weight of any coated paper I've used for greeting cards. At four cents per page this is a great deal for ANY inkjet coated paper on the market. Following your tip I stopped at one of the Staples stores in San Francisco yesterday and bought another five packs. For better or worse I had bought several packs of this paper on their two-for-the-price-of-one last November to use for this year's greeting cards for several holidays. I then use a piece of coated paper to get a sharper image of the test pattern.Ī later edit - Trainman, thanks for the tip. I find that plain paper used for the nozzle test has a tendency to have the ink spread slightly in the paper fibers and make the test look better than it really is. I kept it, however, for test prints before printing on the Staples paper, and I will also use it for Nozzle tests when the pattern is broken in a very subtle way. I was going to take it back as it was not suitable for my double side printing needs. It would be suitable, however, for single sided CD case inserts or other jobs requiring light matte card stock. The paper puckers from the wet ink in areas with a heavy ink density due to the fact that it is pretty thin. It does print on both sides nicely, but this paper is too thin for greeting cards or other double sided print jobs. I also just picked up a package of Kodak heavy matte paper at Costco that Kodak claims is suitable for printing on both sides. Last year I tried Staples photo supreme double side matte paper that is heavier than the Epson double side matte and prints beautifully on my i960. I use double sided matte paper for greeting cards and had been using Epson Double sided matte for a few years.
