How to Use WinRar

Introduction:

WinRAR has become one of the most popular archiving programs for Windows today.

It enables users to put multiple files into one archive, which also reduces the over-all file size using “compression” schemes.  Once files have been “zipped,” they can be stored (as the one file) on disk, sent across the internet, and more.  WinRAR’s strength lies within its ability to handle multiple file types, as well as its advanced compression options.

Opening WinRAR:

WinRAR is pre-installed on all Rutgers University computers.  To open the program, go through the “Start” menu in the bottom left of the screen.

Start >> Programs >> Utilities >> WinRAR

Note that very rarely will you have to actually open WinRAR like this.  Once installed, it integrates seamlessly into Windows, allowing you to perform functions with WinRAR by simply right-clicking files and making selections within, for example, the Windows Explorer environment.

How to Get a High Quality Print from a Color Printer

If you have invested in a high quality color photo printer and have a basic understanding of Adobe Photoshop, you should be able to get a very high quality image out of it. Here’s how.

Step 1:
Invest in a quality paper. Cheap or generic brand inkjet papers generally do not hold ink very well. Most manufacturers develop their papers, printers and inks to work the best together. The same goes for the ink you buy. Your printer will work best if you buy the inks that are designed to go with it, rather than a generic.

Step 2:
Pay attention to your settings. If you are printing an image from Photoshop you have a great deal of control over this. Go to "File," then "Print." In the print dialog window, click on "Properties."
