Last Updated on June 16, 2020 by Christian Ralph

Whether your business centres around colour accuracy, such as the requirement for printing brochures or you simply want to create vibrant and eye-catching new business proposals, you’ll be searching for the highest quality colour calibration possible.

When the quality of your print-out drops, it can reflect badly on your business to customers and clients alike.

To avoid this sticky situation, there are a few tips to ensure you’re getting the most out of your colour printer and keep your company on top form.

Ensure that your printer choice is known for colour excellence

If you’re working in either the graphics or photography industries, it’s crucial that your chosen printer goes above and beyond when it comes to colour output.

Regardless of how good your camera or work is, if the device you are using to print it can’t keep up with this quality then it can cause you to fall at the last hurdle.

For example, this Lexmark printer not only delivers PANTONE colour matching, but it also offers a colour display, allowing you to view and manage your documents. This ensures your graphics are of the highest quality before you’ve even pressed the print button!

Look for a high-resolution printer

Achieving the best colour printing possible extends to other industries beyond those in the graphics sector.

For example, if you’re planning to create your own in-house marketing materials, you don’t want to create pixelated images which don’t do your business justice.

Take note of the Dots Per Inches (DPI) offered by each printer you consider. The Lexmark CS417 series offers an incredible 1200×1200 DPI, which ensures all your graphics remain crisp and clear and catch the attention of potential customers everywhere.

Use genuine consumables

It’s pointless splashing out on the best colour printer just to cut back on the consumables cost.

Using third party consumables can not only invalidate the warranty on your new model, it will also do your documents a huge disservice.

If you purchase a Lexmark laser printer, you should also only purchase Lexmark consumables.

We would always advice that you only use genuine Lexmark toner cartridges when printing. This will give you the best possible colour calibration and ensure that any materials you create do your work justice.

Third party toner can also often be more abrasive than genuine consumables and damage the printer’s internal components, meaning you may have to spend more on a costly repair.

Making these changes in your business will boost your colour prints to a whole new level, however if you still have questions around this process then feel free to get in touch with our team today. We are always more than happy to help with any queries.
