Hello,


I have been using an Canon personal pro 9000 mark 2 and every time I print a transparency to burn, I have to print it twice to get the ink dense enough. I have asked some other printers and they said they use accurip because it has a format to program dense coats but I want to know if there is another method to printing them without having to use the program or double print my transparency. Any tips?

I use Accurip, and it IS pretty handy... but maybe a few things to try. Make sure your printer is printing at the highest resolution possible (lpi, dpi, ppi). If you are printing from illustrator make each plate a 60/40/40/100 CMYK and then output your film as a composite, not separations.

Probably a few other tricks but I am not too familiar with Canon printers and not sure what software your using to output your artwork.

...Also, they have toner aids to help darken positives, however I have only used with laser (non inkjet) film

what is your printer setting? Use matte paper and text quality

The canon you definitely want the photo highest quality setting. They dont print like the epson printers.

In epson text quality prints black but photo quality prints in cmyk. With canon does photo setting print black with black inks only?
