Most laser printers print documents with black lines or
objects on white paper. The casual observer usually judges
a printout by the contrast between light and dark. More
contrast, and even blacks, may seem better. Unfortunately,
the trained observer has a different perspective.
From the read-ability point of view, a print engine can
be too black. If the printer is too black, the circles in
letters fill up, and the letters look jammed together. The
difference between bold and regular printing is not distinguishable.
Printed versions of scanned photographs look too dark. Scanning
the photo over and over again does not solve the problem.
Avoid trying to print any page that has solid black objects.
They never look good even out of the best laser printers.
Most laser printers have a print density dial. If the difference
between bold and regular printing is hard to see, try changing
the position of the knob. You could be wasting toner as
well as producing ugly documents. Also, toner costs more
per page than the paper. Most laser printers warm up within
a minute. The colder the room is, the longer it takes. The
fusing assembly has to heat up so that toner (printer cartridges)
can melt into the paper. This is what takes so long.
