- It’s easy to turn ordinary snapshots into extraordinary masterpieces! And you can get that "photo lab" look right from your home printer.
- The DPI, or dots per inch, tells you how clear and detailed the printer can reproduce your pictures. The higher the number, the better. You’ll want at least 600 DPI.
- Digital prints will last longest if you use photo paper made by the same company that makes your printer.
- Try printing all different size, including 8 and a half by 11.
- Iimages can be printed with or without a border (figure A).
- Consider using acid-free matting to display prints. It will keep them from sticking to the glass.
- Photos with similar frames and matting (figure B) create a bold, unified statement that will give your room a very stylized look.
- For a timeless look, you might want to experiment and print in black and white (figure C) or sepia tones.
Web Extras - Photo printers also come with special features?big image displays, multiple memory card reads for printing without a computer, 4 by 6 photo paper trays, editing functions like red eye removal and fun color effects and borders.
- There are two basic types of photo printers, the ink jet and the dye sublimation kind, which is much like a laser printer. For printing a large amount of pictures, a cost effective ink jet is the best option.
- Heat and humidity cause the photo to stick to the glass and can ruin it.
- Ink jets with the best quality have a small ink-drop size (about 1 picoliter or 1 trillionth of a liter).
- Many printers have dye-based inks but pigments inks may last longer.
- Higher-resolution sensors on digital cameras keep image quality when you are cropping or enlarging pictures.
- Four by six inches is the standard size in photo printing and has the best quality.
