Keith looks at using the Canon G550 A4/letter 6 ink 'megatank' printer to produce high quality greeting cards. The video covers preparing images to print, printer and media settings and how to address colour management concerns. The G650 is the same printer (but with a scanner), In the US the 650 is the G620 Wireless MegaTank Photo Printer. Custom profiles ensure optimal colour reproduction and black and white printing. 00:00 Start 00:42 Types of media 01:21 A 310gsm card and paper tray capacity 01:37 Double sided needs double sided media 02:05 Using correct inkjet media 02:47 Loading media 03:40 Using a template 04:28 Borderless printing 05:20 Setting the front image position 06:52 Print settings 07:20 Colour settings 08:40 Printer media settings and quality 10:10 Print area on the card 10:40 Paper feed 11:11 Print times and quality 14:10 Borderless printing and printer cleaning 16:13 Colour management choices 16:35 Comparing test prints 16:53 Using Canon printer colour 17:35 Using a profile 20:10 Print quality and settings The card templates are discussed and available for download at: https://www.northlight-images.co.uk/greeting-card-paper-and-printing/ Printer test images are discussed and available for download at: https://www.northlight-images.co.uk/printer-test-images/ Profiles (Mac) for the following card Paper Spectrum card types have been produced: 310 'etching' 300 Lustre 300 Matte (double sided) 300 Semigloss 240 photo glossy Contact me directly via the Northlight site if you want to experiment with a profile?
