Printing Photos from Your Computer

Printing has changed since the very first printing press to our capabilities today.  We have a myriad of choices when it comes to what we create on our computers and subsequently print out.  We can create invitations, calendars, thank you cards, and much more.  For instance any pictures we take no longer have to be created at a photo lab.  Instead, we can have our own photo lab at home, as long as we're willing to invest a little in a printer.

It takes more than a cheap printer to get quality images printed.  It takes research to make sure the projects we want to create on paper will turn out alright.  There are hundreds of printers on the market, but only a select few can really recreate a photo on paper. 

Rather than name any products we're going to discuss what you should have in a printer to help you understand the needs required for printing off your photos. Here are some tips to getting quality images on paper whether it is from a camera or computer file.

• Make sure you have a photo printer.  There are products on the market which do colour prints, but they are not necessarily designed for photos.  Instead, they are meant for colour graphics for presentations and the like. 
• Even if you have a photo capable printer, you may still run into quality issues.  In printing the cheaper the product the lower quality you will have for images.  What you require is merchandise with more than one colour cartridge.  Multiple colour cartridges allow the colours to blend easier.  You also do not use as much ink.
• What you run into with cheaper products are lines, clear pixilation, and thus low resolution and grainy reproductions. 
• You do not have to buy a £300 printer to get high quality results.  Spending £100 can get you good results, not professional photos, but good enough for most of our projects.  The higher end printers provide higher quality like a professional photographer might want.

When printing photographs, you can help the printer resolution based on the image you are recreating.  For instance, if you want an 8x10 photo it is best to start off with that resolution rather than increasing a 4x6 into an 8x10.  If you go from a smaller image the resolution in the print will definitely be less.
