I am using PS Cs4.
My printer is HPC5580 and is set to "presentation - best"
The paper is smooth card stock 110 lb. Have tried index and copy paper with no change in quality.
PS is set to Working CMYK and Perception.
I have printed out one sheet with Smooth, Crisp, Sharp and Strong type in 14 pt Arial. Smooth is the best but pretty lousy.
Word documents and other software print excellent quality so I don't think it is the printer. It is also a few weeks old.
This is a presentation document so the type needs to be vg or ex quality. Is this possible with PS CS4?
I have used this printer with Word and other programs and the type is sharp and clean.
I am not sure if PS is set correctly or if I am missing anything. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Is the resolution (DPI) suitable for the size you are printing? |

72 DPI is very low, unless it's going to be a really tiny print. Photos should be at least 200, 300 is better depending on how large they are printed. |
