What is your windows on the computer ?

[@RD_uno]

Can I use the ink it came with the printer or do I need to buy special one ?

[@mamirosi23]

I have a question, I cannot get to the print set up part. Is it because of my computer? It’s an hp. I am however able to go on my settings manually on my printer.

[@EvasCarFreshies1]

@@mamirosi23 yes but you can do it though settings as well! Also make sure to click printing preferences

ok, so for my entire life i was changing every setting under the sun to try to match my colors. never did i try to change the paper type was going to have such an effect. you are either a genuis or a crazy person. this is amazing.

Hello, good help, how do I install the epson printer and I get the printing settings?

[@julietownsendstudio162]

Wow what a game changer. I have never seen anyone talk about changing the paper settings on the printer too. I purchased an ET 8550 and just was so disappointed that it didn't print bright stickers. I was hoping it would be my one go printer. Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm subscribing to your channel this moment!

Thanks for this video. I got a new computer and the printing manager (or whatever it's called) changed a lot from the previous one and I couldn't figure out why it was printing so muted, I had all the settings in the highest quality and the printing wasn't coming out bright and vivid. I looked for the second "paper type" setting and it worked wonders. Thank you very much, you saved me from buying a more expensive printer. I have to add that I watched a lot of videos before yours, and nobody is talking about this. Once again, thank you for this.

[@SuzanneHelmers]

If I could give you 10 thumbs up I would. The settings are a bit different on my Mac, than what you went through, but it was enough help to get me printing things right and my colors are now vibrant! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

As many other comments said YOU’RE A LIFE SAVEEEER. So so grateful for this you have no idea 😭 Because of this video I gave my printer another chance and it worked beautifully! I’m using my iPad and the same Epson printer to print my stickers so it was a struggle to find helpful videos. After a ton of cleanings I never thought it had to do with the printer settings. I just thought the printer dialogue in my iPad wasn’t good enough. Now I need to work with calibrating my cricut and I’ll finally have some good stickers to sell 😊

@EvasCarFreshies1 Update for ya, it worked, but it is true the paper better match otherwise it won't be the best, I got the et 2800, and one thing that has to be done is the manual customization of colors of saturation and contrast as sometimes the colors are too muted.

I just came across this video while trying to search for new printers cuz my old one is acting up with the white lines. I already tried cleaning the printer heads multiple times and changing the ink cartridges and those didn't work. I have a Canon Pixma but thought I'd give it a go with your suggestions here. I used plain printing paper so the option I had is to just stick to "Plain paper" and put the Standard to "High". And the white lines are gone! The colors also look more vibrant. Thank you so much!! Hopefully this will work too when I print on semi glossy or glossy paper!

Thank you for this video. I went crazy and tried this setting but my paper is glossy (koala 30lb - printer epson 2760) The print out turned out to be closer to the one I see on screen.

[@artbear5653]

The only printers that can make the best quality on glossy paper is the Photo Printers as they come with dedicated black photo dye based ink, as all other ones have only color as dye and black as pigment, pigments never really dry on glossy paper and result in messy smudge

As a note, the printing instructions sent from the computer will always override the settings on the printer. Therefore it is not necessary to set up printing options on the printer.
