Samsung CLP-13-series printers are junk. I know. I bought one around 15 years ago, and it was great for a few years. Then it turned into a nightmare of nonfunctional garbage: Wouldn't initiate to functional status, kept powering on to an unusable state, removal/reinsertion of imaging drum did...

I'm gonna take it to the air for my next one:

I'll agree with the halftone assessment, as well as dithering. In the infancy of printers becoming common in businesses, then consumer-grade, it was common for printers to use halftoning and dithering heavily. This put a more realistic image to the paper as desired by most users. It made for a...

And as far as introductions go, this may have been better served by posting in a more-appropriate sub-section of the forum.

Settle in and post questions, then!

Welcome to the forum Redox, but you may get more information by posting in the appropriate forum section. This is a place for people to introduce themselves, not to ask technical questions.

A fellow photographer here to welcome you, Petemi. Would be a person named Pete, in Michigan? Your username might suggest it.

Yeah, we were all Irish on that day, gobbling up tons of corned beef. :drool I welcome a fellow Michigander to this forum. :thumbsup

Instead of silicone, look for something which carries Teflon in it. Here in the US, I can get something called Tri-Flow. It has Teflon in it, carried by light petroleum distillates. Wiping away a freshly wet application leaves well-lubricated and clean part(s). For an application such as your...

Or how about a 1932 Auburn Speedster Boattail:

Here's a Rolls-Royce Vutotal Cabriolet, 1939, Phantom III, by Labourdette: Largely one-of-a-kind, and this one continues to tour the world circuit.

For what it may be worth to you, Gary, another option to protect the paper and give it a glossy surface, is to apply heavy clear packing tape. The super-thin cheap stuff isn't such a great option, while the thicker premium stuff is a better option. It's easily applied to paper, easily trimmed...

Should have been 'Great Britain' and Queen 'Elizabeth', if spelling counts. Nevertheless, I feel the loss as a US citizen, as well. The Queen has always been a part of my existence, and her passing ends a significant era of my life. It used to feel that the Queen would remain throughout my...

As mentioned, confirm that your paper selection is for glossy laser output. Notwithstanding the fact you've made cutouts on the result you prefer, I notice a lot of wrinkling or shrinkage to the paper: nothing is smooth. Seeing as your print appears to be some sort of mechanical control panel...

If the paper is the same, is the toner different? Laser & LED printers operate by heat-fusing plastic powders to paper. If the formulation of the toner material has changed since your successful printing job(s) is different, that could account for the difference. It's also possible that...
