Paper problem

[lotusoftheleaf]

I just got in my new laser printer and I bought some glossy legal sized paper to print covers on. The first one I tried printing came out looking horrible. Patches of colors were missing. I tested a sheet of regular paper and the colors came out fine. The paper says right on the front that it's intended for use with a laser printer, so why are the colors coming out so awful? Does anyone else print their covers on glossy paper?

Are you sure you are printing on the right side of the paper.

I was printing covers on semi-gloss and some came out fine some where super blurry, I then noticed that some papers where back side up!

Or you might have to select different paper type from the printing menu, glossy paper sucks up more color than normal paper.

Both sides of this paper seem to come out about the same, but I switched the paper type to "glossy photo" and now they're coming out looking awesome. *kicks self for not thinking of changing that* Thanks!

First cover I ever printed: Tetris on Game Boy.

No problem!

Now the bragging starts!!!

After all I'm from Finland, the best country in the world according to Newsweek.

For example our education level is in it's own league, that is why I'm so smart

Next you think were smart because we go to expensive schools, but no, our education is pretty much free, they even pay us minimum of 180 euros a month to go to College or Vocational College, and don't get me started on the other benefits we get)

Your only American, your country got only 89.44 points on education, and was 26th 

Don't believe me? See for your self:

BTW: Finland's original score on education was 100, but Newsweek realized that didn't do justice to us so they raised it to 102!

Like 102% out of 100%?

[Arseen]

No that is not percentage. best gets 100 points, rest less.

OK I'll give an good example of other benefits we get.

I studied to be Practical Nurse, education was free, We only had to pay for some books and paper, and nick nacks.

On my second year I wanted to go to abroad to see how is the working there.

So I went to Canada. School, government and one private society gave me total of bit over 5000 Euros to do it.

Flights cost 800, housing for 6 weeks cost 300. With the rest I did what ever I wanted: I went to see NHL game, David Copperfield show and Niagara Falls.

Half a year later I went Sweden for 8 weeks. Got 3500, used 700 for flights and housing.

Add to that the 350 a month that government paid me for going to school, they even paid the gas for my car during the school time (about 4 times what my car used).

Not too bad school time.

I'd have to disagree with Newsweek. I think Japan is the best country. Just look at all the awesome stuff they come up with!

Seems like we got the next contestant country here to file for bankruptcy.

Nope, we have good way of saving money, we steal from the poor , sick and old.

I know, I work with them!
