Canon BJC-4100 ---> Printing Quality...Help!
MrSteele
Hi there,
I bought a canon BJC4100 recently. I compared the printing
of normal document( in Black) against an HP650C. To my surprise, the
quality from HP is more sharp. Fyi, I am using a normaly 80g plain
paper for both printers.
Is there a way for me to get a better printout quality ? Does
buying Canon Plain Paper helps? Am I fated to have low quality
printout for the rest of my printer's natural life? [sigh] Thxs in
advance.
Cheers,
MrSteele

if you use the HC-101 paper it will definately make a difference. it
is "chemically designed" to take the ink better. in real life though,
it is just sealed with a special wax that absorbes the ink better than
plain paper. also if you are not doing too much color, you can use
the BC-20 cartrige instead of the BC-21 and that gives a little better
quality on black
hope it helps

Obviously it depends very much on the type of paper you are using.
There are many different types of 80 gsm plain paper. My personal
preference is to use Canon 80 gsm "Dry" plain paper.
Or if you want to go one step up from that Canon HR-101 High
Resolution paper is an excellent alternative albeit more expensive of
course. A slightly cheaper paper is the Canon Coated Paper.
