Hi there,
I have just bought a Canon ip4300. Seems wonderful, except for one problem: when I print double sided (through the driver option), the text comes out greyer and dithered. On both sides. It seems like a "draft" kind of printing. It might not be noticed at first, but it's very noticeable if you closely compare one page printed with the double-sided option activated with one page printed without the option.
In order to avoid that, I have to also set paper = "double-sided photo paper", and then it prints correctly but in very slow mode (photo mode...) and take ages.
I tried zillions of settings but I could not solve this satisfactorily.
Anybody else has a Canon ip4300 or similar printer? Do you have the same problem?
Thanks
Yes, in double sided printing the driver mixes the three dye colours and
maybe a bit of pigment to give you this grey feathered looking text.
Being a picky printer I don't find this acceptable. Also, it takes twice
as long to print anything using this stupid double-sided printing in the
first place because the machine fiddles with the papers going in and
out. To avoid this stupidity I simply print the even numbered pages of
my booklets, then flip the bunch over and print the odd numbered pages.
I print in half the time and my pages are in pure pigment black and
there is no show through to speak of that would worry anyone. Works
perfectly!
