Re: canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

I thought a bit more about this. Normally the way I set things up is with different print queues that print to the same printer at different quality levels. So I'm not sure I need the ability to tweak the ink use for different resolutions. I can set up the 600 dpi print queue and set the ink use set...

Re: canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

Considerably more ink is applied in 600 dpi mode than in 2400 dpi mode. So much that the pages stick together and I get smearing and marks on the back of the next page if I don't snatch them off the printer as they come out and let them dry separately. When I examine the bold face parts of the outpu...

Re: canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

Do you have any comments on my results? It seems odd that the "2400" setting is using less dots and less ink than the "600" setting. Could it be a tuboprint bug?

Re: canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

I looked again and still cannot find the "intensity" setting. In the "main" tab I do have Saturation, Brightness and Contrast. Could you mean one of those? I also realized that I can select "super - 2400dpi" with plain paper, so I did a test like that. I find the result...

Re: canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

The tests I posted were done on uncoated, cheap office paper. I do not notice a difference in the print output between that and the Coronado SST. The "SST" stands for "special surface treatment" but it's not clear *what* that means. They claim it's supposed to improve printing pe...

Re: canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

I did do a Nozzle test and print head alignment and also black printhead clean and deep cleaning. I am using canon branded ink. I cannot find the "intensity" setting. I tried to reduce ink under "ink limit" which helped the problem of successive pages sticking together but not th...

canon mg5320: prints crisp in "medium" fuzzy in "high"

I was trying to print out some black text that I wanted to look good---mostly I don't care about that much. I have paper set to "plain" and I printed in "high - 600dpi" and the text looks kind of fuzzy. It doesn't look as good as my last canon printer on the same paper (Coronado ...

Re: Setting defaults with turboprint command doesn't work

Will the root settings override the user settings? I mean, if I want to change the settings should it suffice to change them just for root or do I have to also change them for the user?

Setting defaults with turboprint command doesn't work

I set up various different queues to access the same printer with different defaults, and then I discovered that even though I had configured the "fast" printer using "turboprint" to be 300 dpi on plain paper it was actualy printing by default at 600 dpi on inkjet paper. It was n...

Re: what does color gamut setting do?

It was on the colors tab, the one that has also the intent and the setting for reference light and color space. There was a slider labeled color gamut about in the middle and it started at 100%. It could slide up to 200%. I was trying to fix a washed out appearance, and I slid this up to 200%, but I...

Re: mg5320:Two black inks but only only one counter

So if I switch to "grayscale" on the "color" tab then that will use only black ink---the pigment ink if "plain paper" is selected and the dye ink otherwise? And if I select "plain paper" then the pigment ink will be the only black ink used (even if printing co...

what does color gamut setting do?

I have a new printer (canon MG5320) and have been experimenting with settings. I am wondering what the effect of the color gamut slider should be. The documentation appears to be silent on this matter.

mg5320:Two black inks but only only one counter

I just replaced my old printer with a Canon MG5320 and using my (registered) version of turbo print, which I upgraded to 2.25-1 under ubuntu, I have been testing the features of turbo print. But I'm confused about one thing. This new printer has two types of black ink, it has a large pigment ink car...
