Enhance Your Image Prints
Introduction
No matter how stunning your photos are, their impact can be lost if they aren't displayed optimally. By using simple techniques and paying attention to detail, you can ensure your images look their best. The materials used in printing play a crucial role in the quality of the final print.
Choosing the Right Printer
When selecting a printer, consider the materials you'll use. If you plan to print large formats, invest in a printer capable of handling rolls of photographic paper. Although these printers are more expensive upfront, they offer savings when buying paper in bulk.
Selecting the Best Paper
Photographic paper varies in size and texture, and experimenting with options from different manufacturers can help you find the perfect fit for your needs.
Choosing the Right Ink
Always purchase inks from your printer's manufacturer. While third-party inks might seem economical, they may not be compatible with your printer, compromising print quality.
Printing Considerations
Planning ahead when purchasing a printer, paper, or ink is essential. If you’re only printing occasionally, using a local photo lab might be more cost-effective. However, if you're planning to produce and sell a large volume of images, owning a printer is valuable. It enables immediate order fulfillment, providing a competitive edge with prompt delivery.
Outsourcing printing can lead to delays of a week or more, which may negatively impact your business.
Presentation Matters
Once you're satisfied with the print quality, focus on presentation. Avoid cheap frames that can diminish your print's impact. Consider adding a white border in Photoshop before printing or mount your image before framing for added emphasis.
After printing, compare your prints to your computer screen. If discrepancies arise, you might need to calibrate your computer, which is a common issue for home printers. Most advanced photographic software includes a basic calibration tool to improve results.
Printing Tips
Before printing, perform a final check to ensure colors are accurate and the image is flawless. Ensure your printer settings are optimal and always select the best printing options available. When using heavyweight paper, load sheets one at a time to prevent jams.
Allow prints to rest for 24 hours before handling. Store them with a sheet of plain paper between each print.
Additional Tips
Although many ink and paper brands claim quick drying times, it’s crucial to follow these steps before framing:
1. Let prints rest for 15 minutes post-printing.
2. Place a sheet of standard white paper over the print to absorb gases from printing. Let this process continue for 24 hours.
3. If the paper is crimped after removal, repeat for another 24 hours. If not, the image is ready for framing.
By following these tips, you can ensure your images are not only displayed beautifully but also maintain their impact.
