Message: [QUOTE="leogrant, post: 231076, member: 27644"] Hi everyone, I’ve noticed something a bit odd and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this... I use a mid-range inkjet printer (Canon PIXMA series), and when I start printing [B]right after turning the printer on[/B], the first page or two often has slightly duller colors or less sharpness especially when printing high resolution images. But if I let the printer sit idle for a minute or two after startup, or if I run a quick nozzle check first, the next prints seem to come out noticeably better. I did some digging and learned that many printers have a [B]warm-up or calibration cycle[/B] when powered on, but I’m not sure if that really affects ink delivery or head alignment right away. Has anyone else noticed this kind of difference? Could skipping the warm-up or jumping straight into a print job be affecting print quality, especially for photo or graphic-heavy documents? [/QUOTE]
