doug Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Having had some printer problems due to dodgy cartridges have been trying to print Rebels Banner but the print out was very blurred. Thought at first I had bleeding cartridges but close examination shows that there are artifacts on the original image which are aggravated when printing. Must have a good clear image for the forum banner. Have tried using PSP8 by both erasing the defects and also painting over with white. In both cases have saved the image as a new jpg file. Close all down, re-open and the original faults are still there. Have also tried saving as a bmp file but this results in just black and white - limited to only 2 colours. Any suggestionsBanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Now that image has come out sharp and clear! What's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Don't know what was going on folks but now have a crisp clear double sided print. Slight hint of the image showing through from the back. Have used HP premium 120 gsm heavy weight premium paper. Would I be better printing 2 copies and see if I can get those laminated together?

Rebel=UK= Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 so is it ok now doug mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Yes looks fine. Really had my knickers in a twist for a while. Would be a better display If I can get 2 copies laminated together. Does this work anybody. Someone must have some info on laminating. I used to get one of the girls to do mine so only know the general principles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Ah but can I print on both sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I would print each side on 80 gm paper and sandwich some kitchen foil in between to stop the light bleeding through. Then laminate the sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
