Is there a way to improve print quality with Printshop 3.5? Lines are fuzzy regardless of font used.

You know, I have noticed the same thing. I haven't tried to make my less fuzzy, I just re-type whatever I'm doing into my new Printshop. Or I use Notepad or Word. I think I still have 1 that I use, but plan to reprint it as soon as I have the time. Sorry I can't help you on this. Seems like there should be a way, but I even tried different fonts and it didn't change the fuzziness. Charlene

I had this problem too. Adjust the head height (or platen gap). This will fix it most of the time.If the humidity is too high, you get ink drops and lines. You also need to run the print head cleaner often for epson printers.

I used regular resolution, not photo of any type. It seems to work better. This is not glossy photo paper, so the ink adheres differently than it would on photo stock. You won't get that sort of ultra fine resolution. To be fair, I only printed text, but I tried higher resolutions and they actually were worse instead of better. Hope this helps!

Did you ever resolve the problem? I'm having the same problem. I can't get a quality picture something standing perfectly still - like my christmas tree! My ISO is set to 100.

I have never had that problem. What printer setting are you using? I believe just the normal print setting is suggested; that's what I use.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem. I have never had that problem, but have had many other problems with this program. It maybe your printer settings but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the program itself. I have used the older versions of Printmaster for many years and was very happy with it but since I changed my computer I had to buy one for windows7 and it is the worst I ever had! What a waste of money. Nothing prints out right and it has a very limited selection for cards etc. I would see if it can be returned for something else.

Amazon asked me to respond but I found the machine too be cheap and I was told to throw it out, and I got my $ back.I bought a Canon MX922 and the print quality is far superior (and no constant paper jamming)!

Ok I get this sometimes when I'm using a certain printing program. Believe me not all programs are alike and will effect the way your printer prints. I have this problem using a couple of photo editing programs. But when I use another program it prints perfect every time. Try using another program such as windows live photo gallery. If you don't have that, try another one. Hope this helps.

It's not even close. I've been using this printer pretty consistently for the last half year, and it doesn't even match my other color inkjet for print quality. Even on "best" quality setting, the colors are washed out and faded looking compared to color laser or my other inkjet.

Never have had any problems, make sure cartridge snaps into place and stickers are removed. Try a test print and alignment.

Since I really dislike the printshop 3.0 I haven't really looked into buying another version. The old version I had (I think it was 6.0 but back in the 90's and it was GREAT but not compatible with my newer computer). 3.0 is a big waste of money as you can see from the reviews.

The printer doesn't like it. It's important to change your printing settings to grey, not color. You may have to do this every time you send anything to the printer.

I have not noticed this issue. Your choice of paper makes a big difference in the print quality. Also there are numerous selections you can make in the print options.

I have Epson artisan 1430 printer and have used refillable inks for 3 years. Black solution for me was found when using light room set sliders to black and white then process photo. You can also accomplish same in Photoshop Elements and PS 5. When ready to print you must also remember to select black and white option in Epson printer properties before you print. Problem solved beautiful output achieved

I had similar results when I first got my printer. When the software for the printer is installed, there is an icon that appears in the lower right corner of the notification area. If you click on that, you can set the resolution and darkness of scanned items. That cleared up my problems to where images are clear and crisp.

I have had HP photo printers in the past, and the way to get better quality photo prints is in the settings before you print. You select what paper you are using whether it is matted or glossy, and how much saturation you want.

Rebecca, Very hearening to hear it may not be 'just me'. The real problem seems to be that there are two modes of printing in grayscale with the HP6500. 'Black ink only' is just what it implies; grayscale rendered with the black ink cartridge only - and with perfectly good grayscale quality too. The other option: 'high quality' is actually a color dependant mode that, for some obscure reason, sprays a coat of Yellow ink onto the image area, in addition to black ink. At least that is the explanation given to me by the HP Customer Care people. The real problem lies in my inability to use the 'black ink only' option AND any 'double-sided printing' option both at the same time. You may find relief in using the 'black ink only' mode by making sure the 'double-sided printing' option is set to OFF. If you are still awake after all of this, I include my recent post to all and sundry trying to get someone out there to at least confirm that this phenomenon actually exists, and not just some bizarre short-coming in my specific situation; as HP has implied for almost a week now... In short, my opinion is that it is some bug in their software. Good Luck with your problem... ------------------------------- I need to print grayscale / black ink only AND use the double-sided printing option at the same time. Both have perfect functionality when used seperately, but the 'black ink only' grayscale option automaticaly reverts to the (color dependant) 'high quality' option as soon as any double-sided printing option is invoked. Is it just me ? I trouble you with this only after nearly a week and countless e-mails with the HP Customer Care people - and many, many hours following up on all of their fruitless directions for a fix. They will not even admit to being able to duplicate this printer preference shortcoming. I thank you in advance for any assisstance. Michael Keller
