We have to admit it. Printing your photos yourself can be very expensive. You might end up spending too much on photo paper, ink cartridges, and photo printer to get the photos you want.
You don't have to spend a lot to get high-quality, affordable photo prints. Either you can spend your time learning the basics or hire a professional to do the processing.
If you are going to print your photo printer paper by hand with an inkjet printer at home, it is important to understand that printing quality may differ from professional prints. It wouldn't hurt to test printing your photos yourself.
When using an ordinary printer, there are several factors you should consider: the printer, the quality and size of the photo paper, ink quality, print size and print settings.
- If you want to print high quality photos and get better results from your inkjet printer, adjust the image to 200dpi (dots/inch) before printing.To check if your photo's pixels are within the acceptable range, you can simply hover over the icon of your image file to view the details.
- Photo paper is a key component in creating a high quality photo.There are two types of photo paper: matte or glossy. People prefer matte photo paper because it is less reflective and certainly less smudgy.
- If you have to buy new cartridges for your printer, make sure it is made by the manufacturer.Non-branded ink can cause more problems, and could also ruin your printer.
- Did you check the settings on your printer?You want high-quality photos from your inkjet printer, so make sure you don't set it to Econo mode or draft mode.
- Before you use a photo paper on your printer, make sure it is working properly.If necessary, print a test page. When the printer is not being used, its nozzle and head can become clogged and dirty. Printers that are used frequently tend to last longer than printers that are not used often.
That's it.
