Laser printing advice – quality of print
Hi peoples, just a quick one.
When I print a full colour demo print on my HP5500DN I get a perfect print, the colours are vibrant and the print is clear as a bell, yet when I print a photo with exactly the same paper it’s terrible.
not sure if it can be seen too well in the image but it’s definitely there, also the colours seem mottled and not even
Any ideas?

Mo.. I think its how the photo is prepared in photoshop and assigning profiles to it etc, that same demo image of the climbing gear was used to demo a printer where i last worked… we could not acheive the same results with any other photo

on my oki if the image is rgb it must be sent rgb in the driver like wise cmyk
vectors not affected. -
So, probably need to set up a profile in photoshop for the hp the same as i did with my richo?

What type of camera was the other photo taken on – is the quality of the same.

what kind of paper stock?

sometimes telling the printer it has thicker paper helps as the toner is glossed more by the hotter fuser

hi guys, thats just standard 130gsm laser paper, both prints done on the same, as for the photo quality, chances are that the photo of the girl was taken with a better camera as I took the shot.
I printed from photo shop on the photo and direct from the printer on the demo. I’m going to look at profiling for the printer today from photoshop.
