First, I took everyone’s suggestions (and warnings), compiled a tally count, and then did a bit of extra research on CNET, Epinions, etc. Duh, right?Īnyhow, to put this together, I’ve adopted a blended approach. This was borne out by the very wide range of suggestions you all submitted-over 30 different models by most all the major companies were mentioned (although only 4 got mentioned more than once)-as well as the plain fact it’s virtually impossible to give meaningful advice on a product you’ve never used.

So I did what I always do: I asked for help.Įven as I started asking for reader advice on inexpensive printers that handle standard index cards well, I had a feeling this was going to be a tough post to put together. I’ve shared this interest since, frankly, I’ve been buffaloed as well-crippled by the crappiness of my old Epson and unsure what to try next. With this growth and interest have come a lot of requests from readers for the best, cheapest, and most Mac-friendly printer for printing directly to ordinary index cards. The above method has given me the best results so far and this quality both printers I have produces very similar results.The Hipster PDA has been extended and improved beyond my wildest dreams thanks to things like GTDTiddlyWiki, Douglas Johnston’s D IY Planner, and John Norris’s very creative templates. I print to kodak premium picture paper high gloss - this is a general photo paper that produces good results and is not that expensive. choose the pro canon paper even if that is not what you using, this way you will be able to choose the highest quality level printing. ONce in the printers driver option, as paper media. Then open the file in acrobat and print from there, you will have no trouble with borderless printing from acrobat and it lets you access the printer driver with all the options. Then, I save the image as a PDF file instead of a JPG or Tiff. The when I save it, I choose Adobe 1998 RGB as the ICC to be embeded on the image. I use PS Element 3, I set it not to use ICC when editing images so I see a lame plain image with no enhancement while editing.

I just got my 3000 and can see why your frustrated but here it goes.ĭo not use the easy photo print program that came with the printer, it has hardly any control and it prints very saturated and dark images with no choice.
