Printing with the Color PhotoGrade Print Kit

Important: To get the results you want, you must use the kit contents together. That is, use the Color PhotoGrade Ink Cartridge to print on the Color PhotoGrade Paper, and choose the appropriate settings in the printer dialog box.

1) Install the PhotoGrade ink cartridge in the printer.

2) Load the PhotoGrade paper into the sheet feeder. Make sure the whiter side faces you.

3) Open the document you want to print.

4) Choose Print from the File menu.

5) Choose PhotoGrade from the Paper Type pop-up menu in the Print dialog box.

6) Click Color.

7) Select Scatter and verify ColorSync is turned on in the Color Options dialog. An X in the checkbox means ColorSync is turned on. Scatter blends the ink colors in a random scattering of dots for the best quality image.

8) Click OK when you are finished.

9) Click Print when you are ready.

Tips for color printing

* You must use the PhotoGrade paper and the PhotoGrade ink cartridge.
* Be sure to load the PhotoGrade paper so the whiter side faces you.
* Choose PhotoGrade from the Paper Type pop-up menu in the Print dialog box.
* Be sure to turn on ColorSync and leave the ColorSync settings on Automatic.
* Select the Scatter halftoning option (instead of Pattern).
* Make sure the ColorSync extension is enabled in your Extensions folder. If it is not, you must reinstall the Color StyleWriter 2500 software that came with your printer.
* If dark streaks or ink stains appear on printed documents, move the internal paper selector to the "envelope" position (leaving a bit more space between the printhead and the surface of the paper).
* The PhotoGrade Updater software does not support QuickDraw GX. You must disable QuickDraw GX before printing with the Color PhotoGrade Print Kit.
