Printing on a Fuji Xerox C450 Document Centre

Hi all,

We have a Fuji Xerox C450 Document Centre at work. This will print in A3 and A4 full colour. When I print on plain paper, the prints are pretty good (well, very good, but not 100%).

So, I had a brainwave, why not find some gloss paper and these will then print out far better! I went to a photo store and they sold me a box of "Ilford Gallerie Smooth Gloss Paper" assuring me that it would work fine.

Well, it doesn't. I am told that it's because I need to add a profile to the print job, or tell the printing software that it's printing on "Gloss" paper. The printer driver doesn't have a gloss or matt option, though and I can only find an ICC profile option.

Can anyone give me any pointers here? Or should I stick to getting A3 sized prints done at a lab?

Regards,

Simon....

Did you ever get some help with the C450 Simon. There is plenty of online support these days and I know the Xerox boys in Perth office.

I just chucked Fuji Xerox into a search to see what came up as I work for them and wanted to see if anyone was printing images on Xerox digital colour.

Cheers
Andrew
