To Set the Paper Size for Mac OS X
1. Go to Page Setup or Print Setup.
2. Under Format select the Stylus Photo 2100 printer driver.
3. Bring the Paper Size menu down and select the desired page size – because we are
printing to an inkjet printer, we need to tell the printer driver what our standard
paper/shirt image size is. You can also make your own “paper” sizes for odd size
items. Or you can simply work on a 32 x 47cm (adjust this size to your
measurements) page size and make a printing Template to work from.
4. Bring Page Attributes menu down.
5. Select Custom Paper Size.

8.3 Creating Custom Print Modes for Mac OS X

High Speed, Process 360dpi, Process 720dpi and Process 720dpi High Speed.
Solid 360dpi for Mac OS X
To make the ink colours stronger and brighter when you are printing a solid image or a simple
spot colour image you will need extra ink colour saturation. The following instructions explain
how to do this but should not be used for full colour images or photographs as over saturation
can dull the image and make the colours appear muddy.
1. Go to File/Page Setup or Print Setup. Under Format select the Stylus Photo 2100
printer driver. Bring the Paper Size menu down and select the desired page size.
Click OK. This step needs to be done before you print from each file. This setting
CANNOT be saved.
2. Go to File/Print. Select the Stylus Photo 2100 printer driver. Bring Copies and
Pages menu down and select Print Settings.
3. Leave the Media Type set to Plain Paper and Print Quality to Normal - 360dpi.
Note: High Speed is checked but is not available
4. Bring Print Settings menu down and select Color Management. Choose Color
Controls and Gamma 1.8.
5. Set the Mode to Vivid.
6. Saturation should be set to +25%.
7. Magenta and Yellow to +5%.
8. Bring Color Management menu down and select Ink Configuration. Set the Color
Density to +20%.
9. Save this setting as Ksk-Solid-360. Bring Presets menu down. Choose Save As. Name
the Preset to Ksk-Solid-360.
Remember: when you go to print again, re-set your page size. Then go to File/Print. Bring
the Presets menu down and select the new Preset
of Ksk-Solid-360.
