It's All in the Presentation--Including Graphics and Images in Your Documents
Excerpt quoted
http://www.lexmark.com/US/solutions/home/develop/articles/create_presentations.html
Are you getting the most out of your printer? The answer is "no" if you aren't using it to create visually pleasing business documents, attention-getting signs, colorful greeting cards, eye-catching presentations and other well designed works. We all know looks aren't everything, but the appearance of the various documents you produce---whether they include business cards, letterhead, brochures, proposals or family calendars--affects the recipient's perception of you. For example, if you received two take-out restaurant menus in the mail--one in full color with appealing photos and the other in plain black and white text, chances are the latter will end up in the trash. So how can you produce documents that will wow your family, friends and customers? Use the myriad of resources on the Internet to your advantage, and unleash the power of your printer!
Fortunately for the home or small business user like you, there are so many resources available on the Internet including free clip art, photos, fonts, trialware and more! So even if you don't have any experience with designing a brochure or putting together a family newsletter there is help at your fingertips. read compete article*Note: Lexmark also has a section for Crafters - it is linked on main printables page, but you can visit site by clicking

Some of my own tips:
When I want only to print a graphic or particular part/wording of a webpage:
I highlight it by dragging my mouse over what I want to print -
unclick mouse, when area is highlighted, then from file/print option
choose "selection" - and the highlighted section you have
highlighted, should be all that you will see printed.Also you can choose from your file/print menu - if you only want to
print out a partcular "frame" from a web page. As sometimes - just pressing
the print button on a "framed" page will get you the "main" or sidebar frame.Make sure that you check the properties for your printer - to save ink,
print out webpages with just wording on it, in grayscale. Unless you have a need for color.
You may also want to print some pages in landscape mode
vesus portrait - so check that property too (usually under paper size).
*Rememer - sometimes printers
will save your last usage settings, so just double check, just how your printer is set to print,
before you print anything important.

Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Inkjet Printer
The Printer
Since we were replacing a wide format inkjet printer,
the replacement also had to be a wide format printer.
The Stylus 1280 is capable of printing on paper up to
13" wide and 19" long. This allows us to print 4 sided
brochures up to 8.5 x 11 size format. The Epson Stylus
3000 inkjet was also capable of printing 11x17 format,
but the biggest difference is the Stylus Photo 1280 is
capable of borderless printing and the Stylus 3000
couldn't.
