I have some greetings card blanks made from a pretty good
quality plain white card with a nice smooth satin finish but I'm
struggling to get the printer to put a photo quality image on it.
All settings so far come a bit grainy. Does anyone have any
experience or advice they can share ? I'd prefer to not have
to resort to cut and paste.

TIA

Chris

Hi

Photo quality printing requires the proper coatings on the paper. Look for
photo quality card in Canon's catalogue.

I used to get fairly decent color prints from an HP printer using heavy
card stock, but same used on a Pixma was not as good... the paper's
"tooth" seemed to prevent a similar same degree of ink absorbtion.

Perhaps your smooth satin finish is rougher than you think. Could also be
the difference between HP pigment inks and Canon dye inks.

I think that this is the key point. The fact is that the printer
is designed to work best with photo paper designed specifically
to receive dye inks. It will write on other surfaces but it
works best with that which it has been designed for.
