Canon IR 5185, prints documents perfectly fine. photos are the problem. Photos are so dark sometimes that it is unusable. changing the darkness on the machine does not seem to affect the photos. even on the lightest setting, the photos come out too dark for use.similarly, Canon IR3220 having the opposite problem, where photos are coming out too light. changing the light/dark settings does not change the photos. does not happen to everyone who prints to it.

Re: print jobs are coming out too dark/too light
To be honest, i'm not quite sure what you are suggesting I do here. if you are suggesting i place the real photo over the dark one and make a new copy, that will not work in this case as we couldn't print the photo to begin with. it would come out too dark or too light.Comment

Re: print jobs are coming out too dark/too light
I should be more clear in my presentation of the issue. The issue is not with scanning a document, but rather printing documents with photos in them. Documents with photos come are fine, except the photos, which are too dark. This issue has nothing to do with the scanner.Comment

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Funny crap. There are some suggestions in this thread that may help: http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/ca...ters-bold.htmlThe chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein. -Fred HoyleComment

Re: print jobs are coming out too dark/too light
It has everything to do with the Scanner when u SCAN a document/book/newspaper/or magazine with a Picture/Photo in it--
All trained Color Tech are aware of this-- DPI of pictures all depend on how they were originally scanned/inserted into the original document
POST a copy of the document u are talking about
in service mode make sure this setting is set to "1"
in Level 2/
for level 2 >u hit add funct(*) 2 key after u are in service mode Level 1
COPIER>OPTION>BODY>SCR-SLCT is set to "1"
Use low-line-count screen
Select a level of sharpness to make the document more legible.EXAMPLES:1. Photographic images in news papers or magazines2. Blueprints or faint pencil-drawn originals3. For more defined outlines of charts, graphs, photosLowIf you make copies of an original containing halftones,such as a printed photograph using the Photomode, screen clash may occur.

Re: print jobs are coming out too dark/too light
Have you checked the machine or print driver for PHOTO MODE?Photo mode changes the machine settings so pictures are more of a half tone.The light Photo prints could be set for photo mode @ the lightest setting.If it were the copier, everyone would have the same problem. Sounds like OHS. (Operator Head Space)Why do they call it common sense?
If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?Comment
