I am using a NEW Canon MG7520 printer, my old one that had to be 12 years old, at least, gave up the ghost. I was able to find a new, unused printer, that matched my old one, which I loved. It prints beautiful color photos, it's the B&W problem.
I posted the following question years ago, on this site:
Is there anyway, on my Canon MG7520 printer, that I can print a true B&W photo. I have scanned B&W photo's, gone to Photoshop and saved them in greyscale. I am printing from an iMac computer. When you set the printer to grayscale, you get a photo that is a sepia color, not B&W. The printer always uses another color as well as black to print out. I have tried all settings and paper, but can not get a photo print that is "B&W", like the photo's that I had scanned
I found this answer somewhere and it worked.
I found how to do it myself. Set printer for plain paper, even if using photo paper. DO NOT SET it for borderless printing. Go to Quality & Media, set for Standard Printing and Grayscale Printing. It will then print in true B&W. If you set it for borderless printing it will not work. Try it let me know if it works for you.
But now when I print, I get beautiful B&W photos, BUT, they have a super fine black line going through them, the lines are about an inch a part, hardly noticeable, but still there. If I print the photos any other way, the lines are not there, but the photos are no longer true B&W. As I said it prints beautiful color photos with no problem.
Any suggestions?
Mike
