Premium Luster Photo Just bought a HP D110A(CN731A) Having bad image quality problems, lines in photos...why?
Well I just bought it, set it up correctly and tried to print some photos on HP Everyday Photo Paper semi glossy, first off it was a Black and white Image and it came out very odd, no contrast, the photo had TONS. Second of there were lines going through the whole thing, more noticeable on lighter parts but still visible on darker. I then said "Hey maybe its just really low quality paper(Which does not make up for the line thing)" So I put some premium Epson Luster in it and tried again...Same thing...It looked a tiny but better contrast wise but lines were still there and the contrast was still unacceptable compared to my Epson Artisan 700 which I just got rid of because it gave me so many problems with ink.
I heard this thing had pretty good photo quality so I am hoping it just a small mishap problem that can be solved.
I tried that....no go....
When using a printer for the first time, you need to align the ink cartridge with the brush. Read about syncing them in the manual. Hope this helps! (It might not :/)

What's the right printer paper for 13 x 19 artwork?
I would like to print 2'' x 3'' inch thumbnails of colorful artwork on a 13'' x 19'' paper to be hung on my wall to display art that my family has done over the years.
I have a high end scanner (Epson GT 15000) and can manipulate the scans via scaling and other tricks in a legally registered version of Photoshop.
My printer is an Epson R1800 and can create 13'' x 19'' pages to create posters that I can then place in a 16'' x 20'' frame.
I will use only Epson inks and Epson print paper.
My question surrounds the choices of paper available to print the best finished product - which type of paper do I choose?
The options I have are:
Premium Presentation Paper - Matte
Premium Photo Paper - Glossy
Premium Photo Paper - Semi Gloss
Premium Photo Paper - Luster
Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper
I wish they offered a sampler pack where I could buy 1-2 pages of each to see which renders the best output - but they don't!
So I ask you, what paper should I go with?
Hi! I understand your dilemma. First of all, the main consideration you have is what kind of art with which you are working.
If it is photography, a glossy paper would probably be best. If it is pencil drawings, a matte paper is most suitable. And, there are so many art papers to choose from now a days, Epson as well as others that you may want to consider.
I use a variety of art papers for my digital art prints, depending upon the piece of art.
Here is a link to a source where, YES, you may buy sample sheets!! I suggest just using letter size for samples. This is a great company to work with—very helpful, and there is a wealth of information just on their website alone.

For advanced information, the book "Mastering Digital Art Printing" is excellent. I am 2/3s of the way through it, and am amazed at how much I have learned about various papers (when I already thought I knew a lot!). It can be purchased at Amazon as well:
I have an Epson R2400, and spent a considerable amount of time experimenting with different kinds of art papers, which all gave me different results. I printed the same image (on an 8-1/2 x 11) on every piece of sample paper I had to be able to compare apples to apples.
Also, check out the sealers, which give an added life span to your prints.
