Unless you have the proper profile for other papers you'll get less than ideal prints. The printer (when working correctly) will spray the correct amount of ink onto the paper, but it's matched to Canon paper. IF you use any other brand it may absorb more ink or less than the printer is set to spray. That has a major effect on the look of the photo.</P><P>Also note that most people edit using their monitor set at full brightness, but when they print it's not the same. It's very important to set your monitor's brightness to match what your printer produces.</P> Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:36:54 GMT cicopo 2012-11-29T13:36:54Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Poor-quality-photo-printing/m-p/5175#M165 <P>I am getting very poor quality prints from my new Canon MG6220. I have it set on the advanced photo with glossy paper. Am I missing something?&nbsp;</P> Thu, 29 Nov 2012 05:18:02 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Poor-quality-photo-printing/m-p/5175#M165 pmreagan11 2012-11-29T05:18:02Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Poor-quality-photo-printing/m-p/5187#M166 <P>Are you using Canon brand paper?
