chevallm Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Quite pleased with my work on a photo of the Angel of the North, I decided to export it so as to print it on another PC of mine my Canon ip7250 is plugged into. The file looks good in Affinity before export, it looks fine on my other computer, using another software. And yet when I print it it looks terrible. Of course I checked the cartridges and I have no problems printing other documents or photos, I tried different papers and settings. I tried printing a TIFF export and a JPEG. Same result. What can be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I know you said that you can print other things OK, but if that printer has any kind of option that will print a nozzle check pattern that's where I would start. On my Epson printer it's in the Maintenance tab of the detailed printer preferences.

carl123 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If you can upload the exported jpg here, someone else can try printing it Which should help determine if it is the exported jpg at fault or the printer Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

chevallm Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Carl123 has asked for the Jpeg. Here it is. As I said in my post I have no problem printing other photos, the nozzle test is OK. I printed a calibration chart pretty accurately considering the printer, as it's far from top of the range... The result I get with my angel is so way off the mark that I'm at a loss to explain it. So if someone can print it, I'd be happy to know the result. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It prints fine for me. Sorry.
