large format printing : Black and White Photo Conversion
Most images were produced in black and white for nearly a hundred years after the invention of photography, but now colour images have become commonplace. Creating strong three dimensional images on a piece of paper is one of the best attributes of black and white photography, as the effect can be more striking than with a colour photograph. Without the colour to distract us we become more aware of the subtle tones which can be found within a black and white image. In this article I will share the technique I use that will help you create beautiful, striking and moody black and white images from your colour photographs.
Digital cameras have a black and white mode but more information and detail will be recorded in colour, which will also create a higher quality printed image. This is why I always shoot in colour then convert images later. There are several ways of converting an image to black and white using Photoshop and many other image editing programs. You could simply desaturate the colours, but creating a black and white image with real tone and definition goes beyond this. Levels, curves and the Unsharp Mask can be used creatively with black and white conversion to provide further control over tones and contrast to create a stunning image.
Channel Mixer - I have found that using the Photoshop Channel Mixer is the easiest way to convert an image to black and white and produces the best results. The Channel Mixer allows you to control how much red, green and blue contribute to the final monochrome image.
The Channel Mixer can be selected from the adjustment layer popup menu in the layers palette or you can also access it from under the image menu.
Clicking on the left tick box entitled Monochrome will convert your photograph into a greyscale image, and gives you the ability to blend the red, green and blue channels. Adjust each of the sliders to produce an image to your liking. As a rule make sure that the total values for each channel adds up to 100%. This creates monochrome images that are the equivalent of ones shot on black and white film through red, green or blue filters. For example if you wanted to maximize cloud contrast in a blue sky, then a red filter would achieve this. I usually set the red channel to 0 and the green channel to 100 to cut down on the amount of noise, or sometimes a combination of red and green depending on the image.
Curves and Levels - Brightness and contrast can be adjusted in Photoshop by using the curves and levels tools, which can be found under Image > Adjustments Curves/Levels. Both curves and levels allow you to adjust the tonal range of an image. When using the levels command you can make adjustments to just three variables, highlights, shadows and midtones. I prefer to use curves as it gives you more precision. With curves you can adjust any point along a scale while keeping up to 15 other values constant. By adjusting the black point and white point in curves you can give your image more contrast. At opposite ends of the diagonal line you will find a small dot. When you grab hold one of the dots with your mouse and drag it around you will see the image change. To create more contrast drag the black point lower and the white point higher, so that either end of the diagonal line is curved. Practice using curves and levels and explore the different effects you can achieve with your images.
Unsharp Mask – The Unsharp Mask is my preferred tool for sharpening images, which can be found under Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask. It is a traditional film compositing technique used to sharpen edges in an image and corrects blurring. The Unsharp Mask locates pixels that differ from surrounding pixels by the threshold you specify and increases the pixels’ contrast by the amount you specify. In order to get the look which I desire in my images I use the Unsharp Mask twice. I begin by using a high radius and lower amount, such as a radius of 50 pixels and an amount of 30%. This gives the image a much more intense look and details will stand out. The second time I use a lower radius of 1 pixel with a higher amount of 30%, which will correct any blurring and sharpen the image.

large format printing : J - JPEGs :
What is JPEG? It’s confusing for some and you might feel you need to be a genius to understand it. But you don’t.
A lot of people make a lot of fuss about it, but, basically, a JPEG file is an image type. It has a fancy name but it is just the format in which your image is stored. We could also store images as TIFFs or RAWs. But the commonest is JPEGs. When you take a picture your camera will write the image onto the memory card – this is likely to be a JPEG file.
Your camera and computer will do it all for you. The image you take is usually very large so the camera or computer compresses it into a JPEG file. And because JPEGs are smaller than normal files, this means you can store more images in the space available.
There is, inevitably, some loss of quality in the image as it is compressed into a JPEG, but you are unlikely to notice it unless you are being very observant or printing large prints.
In fact your camera might have different “qualities” of JPEG – large, medium, small. The larger the file the better the quality but the greater amount of space it takes up on you camera’s memory card or computer. Conversely, the smaller the file the less the quality and the less space it requires.
You should experiment with different JPEG settings – in most cases and at normal sizes you won’t see any difference.

large format printing : Get The Most Out of Your Digital Camera Today!
Point and click. The new life of digital cameras gives us all the opportunity to capture images as we go. Whether you simply hit the shutter button to take pictures of your friends and family or if you want to have your camera with you at all times in order to capture the beauty of life wherever you find it, getting the most out of your digital camera can be easy.
Let’s imagine ourselves with the perfect set up of digital camera and a few accessories to make things just right. My personal and professional recommendation is that we start with memory. Get more today. If you only have one memory card for your camera it is time to add to the collection. If you have more than one then good job! The more memory you have for your digital camera the less likely it will be that you get stuck wanting to take more pictures and have no more room on the storage. Memory is relatively cheap, takes up no space in your kit and gives you total control over creativity.
Your camera comes with a variety of quality settings to work with when taking images. Don’t use TIFF, leave it on one of the medium quality level settings and your camera will take fine images for you and not eat up all your memory. If you use the highest setting you will get very few images onto your card. They will for the most part be of very high quality but you would only want to shoot at that level of quality if you are intending to make high quality large format prints of your images.
Now if that child of yours is just so incredibly cute and your wall is aching for a portrait of his or her shining face then by all means do it on the highest quality. The key will be to use good software to process the image and then a printer that can make a large format, high quality print of your image. They exist and for not unreasonable prices I might add.
I was stunned at a recent art show in my neighborhood to be looking at a photographer’s exhibit of large size prints (18x24 and up in size) to find out that he shoots exclusively in digital now. He was a former film photographer who switched over in recent years and now makes stunning prints from his digital images. His landscape images were simply amazing and to find out that he shot them on a good digital camera made me very curious about the process, but that is fodder for another article.
Juice is the answer to your next question. Always have more juice. I spent 20 years in the TV news business and my mantra was always have extra batteries ready to go and an extra tape under the back seat in case of emergency. For TV cameras the batteries were always big and heavy rechargeable NiCads. Lithium batteries are the rage nowadays as they are lighter in weight, have no memory problems, and run longer. Digital still cameras can take advantage of Lithium batteries but the cost is often slightly prohibitive for most of us. Some camera systems use proprietary battery systems. I would recommend not buying into that sort of system. Try to buy a camera that uses universal types of batteries such as AA’s. I use a camera that takes AA’s and I have three sets of rechargeable batteries so I can rotate through them and never be caught short. Total cost for three sets of batteries is about $30, and they will last you several years if you treat them right. If you just buy regular AA batteries and shoot a lot of images your battery cost might triple that over a like period of time.
Edison did it and now we consider him a genius. Experimentation is the name of the game. Digital images cost you nothing but time and a little battery life. Play around and take lots of shots of things, people, events, you name it. Look at magazines, newspapers and notice what images look cool to you. Try to take shots like that yourself so you can see how it is done. This will get you thinking about how to make your everyday shots better. Look for new and different ways to frame things, take both a vertical and a horizontal shot of the same thing and see how it changes perspective. Get closer to your subject, or get farther away to see which looks better. Find something unique about your subject and look for a way to exploit that for a better image. Here is and example, say for instance you have a great looking car you want a picture of, well don’t stand across the street from it and zoom in on the car, get right up close with the sun behind you so the car is sparkling shiny and fills the whole frame of the image. Find it’s best feature and center that in the shot say the awesome lines of front of the car or snazzy wheels.
Print something from your camera every week to remind you of the beauty of everyday things. Take shots all the time, pick one and print it out and then put it in front of you for a day or a week. Live life as though you want beauty around you all the time. If you are madly in love then surround yourself with pictures of that love. If you live in a beautiful place then take pictures of it all the time to make sure you never forget how special it is to be there in your life. Don’t let those images hide away and not be seen. Wallpaper on your computer can be another place to put your weekly image, change it regularly with images from your family, work, life, hobby and you will get more smiles and more joy out of your camera than you know what to do with. My current wallpaper takes me back to a wonderful day on a mountain lake this past summer paddling kayaks in the afternoon breeze. What about yours?

large format printing : Large Format Scanner Plotters
The original idea behind scanning an image is in many cases reproducing it. This requires a plotter or a printer in addition to the scanner. Scanner/plotters, which have plotting facilities in addition to scanning, are growing in popularity today. Their main advantage is in the uninterrupted workflow from image acquisition to reproduction. They also result in saving workspace. Total self-sufficiency of the unit is another remarkable feature. They are available in color as well as black and white, with good accuracy and high image quality. Copiers are also available with optional scanning and plotting facilities. The main field of application of scanner-plotters is in reproducing engineering drawings, graphs, charts, figures and other documents. Cartographers and city planners have great use for scanner/plotter with good optical resolution. The resolution of both the scanner and the plotter are usually chosen to be the same except in cases where enlargement is required.
Though flatbed scanners are more popular, drum-type scanner/plotters are also in great demand due to the virtually unlimited length of medium they can handle. The plotter is usually of ink-jet type. They have an excellent resolution and can reproduce a very wide range of colors on paper.
The chief drawback of a scanner/plotter is, however, the reduced flexibility of operations. For example, if any one of the scanner and the plotter develops a complaint, then both will have to go out of use. Again, since the weight of the combined unit will be about twice that of the individual units, transportation for repair and maintenance also costs more.
HP DesignJet 815MFP large format scanner and plotter is one versatile scanner/plotter commercially available. It has a resolution of 2400x1200 dpi, handles paper up to 42 inches wide, and prints at a speed of thirty-six square feet per hour. KYOCERA Mita’s KM- 4840W is a large format copier with optional plotting and scanning facilities. Screen and Contex are among other leading manufacturers.

large format printing : Large Format Document Scanners
Document scanning is the first step in upgrading to electronic document management, which promises enormous storage capacity, high security and easy retrieval of office documents. Large format document scanners come in a wide variety, and choosing from them according to your need is as demanding yet worthwhile task. Most document scanners are of flatbed type. They come in color as well as black and white. Black and white scanners are much cheaper and would suffice for much of the day-to-day office document management. A duplex scanner can handle pages with one or both of their sides printed. Document scanners with video card interface are available for processing bar codes or patch codes or for increasing the quality of scans.
The speed of the document scanner is an important factor and is expressed in inches per second or meters per minute; some scanner speeds are also expressed in sheets per minute. Some of the high-end document scanners also have the capability to print the documents they scan.Document scanners are rated for a duty cycle in number of pages per day. This is the number of pages that the machine is designed to handle per day and should not be exceeded in order to ensure maximum life. The parts of an overloaded scanner wear out much more quickly. So a scanner of optimum duty cycle should be chosen for maximum economy.
Though most document scanners are of the flatbed type, with the document lying stationary on a glass pane, vertical scanners, in which paper is fed through the top and moves downwards past the sensors, are also popular. Some of the newer scanners are equipped with the revolutionary iJet technology, which allows the user to take printouts from a large format printer connected directly to the scanner. It also lets the scanner be connected directly to an existing LAN without an attached host PC.
Lanier, Canon, Visionshape, Fujitsu, Vidar, ACTion Imaging, Contex, IDEAL and Oce are among the leading manufacturers of large format document scanners.

large format printing : Large Format Printer With Scanners
Large format printers are a very convenient and often indispensable tool in producing hard copies of digitalized images such as technical drawings, paintings, maps, and office documents. It is an important part of electronic document management, in which the first step is scanning. So it is, in many cases, desirable to have printers with scanning capabilities. This need is all the more evident when it is required to produce enlarged images from drawings stored on microfilm. The conversion of actual drawing into microfilm requires a scanner with medium resolution. But when a microfilm is being scanned, it must be done at very high resolution so as to have good image quality in the print and to show the details in an enlarged copy. The printer is generally of inkjet type. UV curable inkjet printing is a relatively new technology in printing.
HP DesignJet 815 MFP is a printer-scanner with a resolution of 2400x1200 dpi. This makes it suitable for scanning microfilms as well as for any other scanning purpose, and it handles even thick, rigid media. It is designed to handle CAD output, GIS and graphics. It is capable of scanning and printing both color and black and white images. The printer is of thermal inkjet type. It can manage widths of up to 42 inches and media as long as 50 feet.
Epson Stylus DX4800 is another all–in-one color printer, scanner and copier. It can give a resolution of up to 5760x1440 optimized dpi on qualified media. It is a fast printer capable of producing as many as 20 pages per minute. The scanning area is 216mm x 297mm. The printing width is also not very high, but the quality is excellent. The scanner has a maximum resolution of 1200dpi and a scanning speed of 30msec per line at this resolution. At lower resolutions of 600dpi and 300dpi, it gives better speeds of 15msec per line and 10msec per line, respectively.

large format printing : 2006 brings unprecedented changes to the wide format printer industry
New this month is the start of FLAAR Reports on bio-solvent ink, made from corn. We have articles already in press and a brief notice on this website. Corn-based lactate solvent ink was a bit hit at ISA 2006.
We are also adding coverage of Staedtler’s innovative Lumocolor ink, that prints on uncoated paper (literally on the lowest cost ordinary paper, such as brown Kraft paper, cardboard, as well as all signage materials).
We are adding a dozen updates to UV-cured ink flatbed printer reports.
Get a hold of our “Quick Peek…What’s New for 2006” with prognostics on what is left of Encad and whether this hard-working company (under Kodak) will survive two bulldozers heading for each other at full steam: the two industry titans are both preparing new products for 2006; all will be fabulous printers. Will there be any market share left for Encad, Kodak, or Xerox at all? Just ask for Quick Peek when you fill out the Survey Form.
The new printers that were shown at PMA ’06, Graphics of the Americas ’06 and ISA ’06, such as the Mimaki JV5 and Roland AJ-1000, are unprecedented in the history of inkjet printing. No year of fabulous technology launches has happened before to this degree. Additional printers will be introduced at SGIA 2006.
When you fill out the request form for free reports, if you are from industry (manufacturer, distributor, dealer) just say so clearly; we still send the free reports, to everyone who asks appropriately. This is not like filling out a trade magazine card: you don’t have to fake how many people work in your company.
If you are an end-user, whether you already own a printer, or have not yet bought your first inkjet printer. Either way; you will each receive as many free reports as you ask for.

large format printing : New site-visit case studies of UV-cured ink flatbed printers
Nicholas found a print shop that had two ColorSpan 72uvr printers. We interviewed the print shop manager and the printer operators. Did they find the ColorSpan 72uvr a good decision? Now you too can learn what it is like to have a ColorSpan UV-cured inkjet printer in your print shop.
Then we made the effort to track down the owner of a Gandinnovations Jeti 3150 UV flatbed printer. He has had the Gandy UV printer for 8 months. So now, at last, you can obtain first-hand reliable information on what to expect.
We have updated our reports on the NUR Tempo, on the Gandinnovations (we have two reports on the Jeti, a comprehensive evaluation and the site-visit); we have updated our reports on the Dilli / D.G.I., and many other UV printers. We have also updated several of the UV Series 1 and UV Series 2 reports. Plus there is now a new UV report, on printheads specifically for UV-cured ink. We have updated our reports on the Inca Spyder 150 and on the Inca Spyder 320 as well.
In late March we did a site-visit case study of a Luescher JetPrint in Athens, Greece and are receiving information from a new installation of a Luescher UV flatbed in the US. If you are thinking of a Luescher, or comparing it with an Inca or NUR Tempo, you ought to purchase these FLAAR Reports to double-check the pros and cons of each printer. Every model has a few quirks that you owe yourself to learn about. Become a savvy buyer; get the inside info from FLAAR.
FLAAR now has over 60 reports on UV printers. Since we are a non-profit institute at a university, our Reports ordering system has a few quirks. If you get lost, or have questions, please contact CustomerService@FLAAR.org. If that fails, fax us at 419 372 8283, and explain what reports you wish to order. But usually you get quick response from the e-mail address.
Variable Data Short Run Digital Press
Imagine being able to speak directly to your customers with relevant information that generates a significantly high response rate. This is all possible on a variable data press, allowing you to communicate on levels that were not possible before. To give you an upper hand on variable data printing, FLAAR has initiated a new site, www.variable-data-digital-press.org. We will be developing reviews and reports on printers, workflows, software, archival printing, as well as 1-1 marketing that will be available for download to help you succeed in the printing industry.
Five of the FLAAR+BGSU staff were flown to the Xerox technology display center in Rochester for a complete technology briefing on variable data short run digital presses.

large format printing : IPEX and ISA
We now have the most comprehensive coverage of all wide format printers: all kinds: eco-solvent, UV, mild-solvent, textile printers, printers for giclee: everything, all available in two formats. You learn facts from the FLAAR Reports that are not available from the manufacturers themselves, such as that Encad seems to have closed their offices in San Diego. There is no evidence of any future new NovaJet printers any more. We will learn more at ISA, but there was not a single solitary Encad printer at PMA (but lots of new HP and Canon printers, see www.digital-photography.org).
You can select lots of free publications by filling out the Survey Form.
Or if you prefer to get reports without having to fill out a form, you can buy all the FLAAR Reports form www.wide-format-printers.NET.
Worldwide sales of solvent-ink printers in the $30K to $40K range are booming. Every day FLAAR receives requests from readers who want us to recommend which mild solvent ink printer they should consider. We cover these printers primarily on our sister site, www.large-format-printers.org.
Just beware that some kinds of solvent inks may dissolve the Epson printheads on some retro-fitted Roland printers. So you need to distinguish the after-market SolventJet from the SolJet (made by Roland itself). Also realize that not all “solvent inks” actually function on economy vinyl. Most of the lite solvents require costly coated media, which nullifies the reason for going solvent to begin with. Furthermore, some of the solvent ink printers are not really using true solvent?
Ahhh, all the things that the enticing advertising brochures at the trade shows don't tell you. Now you see why we use end-user reports to reveal what tradeshow booths don't warn you about.
UV-Curable Ink Flatbed printers
We cover UV-cured flatbed printers primarily on our sister site, www.large-format-printers.org. We gathered information at DRUPA, Photokina, SGIA, ISA, FESPA, and GraphExpo trade shows over a five-year period. FLAAR now has over 53 publications to help you learn to understand the differences between ColorSpan and Raster Printers, between Gandinnovations and Vutek, the pros and cons of the DuPont Cromaprint 22UV and Inca Spyder 320. It is all there; also check out www.wide-format-printers.net; go to the link on UV.
Eco-Solvent Printers, Mild-Solvent Printers
We cover these printers primarily on our sister site, www.large-format-printers.org. We bring information on eco-solvent printers from ISA and other signage trade shows. We have three new titles on the Roland SolJet, based on three different site-visit case studies. We also cover Mutoh, Gerber, and all the mild-solvent printers too (pros and cons with warnings about misleading advertising claims). We are updating our coverage of the Mutoh Toucan LT and its hybrid flatbed also.
Featured shortly will be the new mild-solvent HP Designjet printers that use the Seiko ColorPainter 64S chassis. Remember, HP has a licensing agreement with Seiko.
Printers for Giclee and Fine Art Photography
We cover giclee and fine art photography, and printers, on two websites, www.FineArtGicleePrinters.org and www.digital-photography.org. Our new report on the Epson Stylus Pro 9800 is now available, free to everyone who fills out the Survey Form.
This month (July 2006), FLAAR is issuing evaluations on all three Epson printers: Epson Stylis Pro 4800, 7800, and 9800.
Even Mutoh is now trying to produce a CAD printer: their Mutoh DrafStation RJ-900 and RJ-901. Canon is trying with their new imagePROGRAF iPF 600. HP had earlier come out with their Designjet 4500 to quickly replace the Designjet 4000.

large format printing : Dr. Hellmuth's relationship with Wide Format Printers
Dr. Hellmuth is the Johnny Appleseed of wide format printers. His goal is to help newcomers, pro-sumers, as well as corporate in-house work groups, departments, and seasoned pros from government and educational institutions, prepress, graphic design, sign shops, quick print shops and other commercial enterprises learn which model of wide format inkjet printer would best meet their specific needs.
Dr Hellmuth has also been described as the " Ann Landers" or "Dear Abby" to end-users. He helps them overcome the pros and cons of large format digital imaging. When you marry the wrong printer, when you have a one-night stand with an inappropriate ink or media, when your relationship with a cheapo Internet source of low-bid equipment has gone sour, then "Ask Dr. Nicholas" and his staff at Bowling Green State University, will do their best to make reports available to assist and resolve your problems.
If you or your company needs serious professional consultation, then Dr. Hellmuth is available as a consultant. He can visit clients’ facilities anywhere in the world, or clients can visit the FLAAR facility at either university for consulting and training

large format printing : Having It Large
The cost of buying a large format printer has decreased and investment from major vendors across the product range shows how much attention is being paid to the market. With advancements in technology, large format printers (LFPs) are also breaking into new markets areas. Growth is so high in the Middle East region that HP has announced that it will hold its 2006 EMEA LFP Academy, an event attended by over 500 partners, in Dubai.
“I’d imagine only 35% to 40% of our business is with repeat customers. The rest is all coming from new customers and we are winning market share across the Middle East. All sectors are growing,” says Chris Govier, production business manager Middle East and Africa at Xerox.
The best thing about the LFP channel is that it presently has breathing room. Resellers such as Jordanian distributor NAF, which started out as a small print shop, are doing a healthy business with their LFP offerings. “I was the first person to take HP LFPs into Jordan. They asked me how many I thought I could sell in one year — I said around 50. That first year I sold 300 printers. By the time they had got me stock of 24 large formats to Jordan, I had already sold 17 of them,” explains Nedal Odeh, general manager at NAF Engineering Equipments in Jordan.
While there is still a slice of the pie up for grabs in the large format market, exactly where is not so easy to define, as it covers a very broad area. An LFP is usually defined as anything larger than an A1 printer; anything above 64” in width is usually described as a super wide format, or grand format machine. The market is also split into different sectors, divided by the printer’s application: technical drawing and line printers (usually black and white) used by construction sites, and the graphic market (usually colour machines). These products are then split between indoor and outdoor offerings. Typical large format resellers will stock A1 to 64” printers, though vendors usually require partners to work on either the industrial or graphic side.
“The partners have to pledge their allegiance one way or the other. In some small markets one partner can cater to both but we prefer a focus on one area of the market. LFPs require expertise and it is full solution selling — for example, with graphics, partners have to calibrate the printer, install it and train users,” comments Ernest Azzam, business development manager, large format printing at HP’s IPG group.

large format printing : Large-format-photo workshop to focus on the art
Much of the photography world has moved with glee to the ease and speed of digital cameras, but for a growing number of artists, this is cause for rebellion.
Many of these artists concede that there really isn't a debate over whether to go digital, since most commercial work is now done with computers.
But for artists like New Jersey's George Losse, the only way to go is to work with actual film, to process work with his hands and to create art with photography.
``I would say 99 percent of the commercial world is digital or will be digital,'' Losse said. ``But in the world of quality images and where speed is not as important, in the world of handling a photograph by an artist, digital hasn't taken the same foothold.''
Losse will be at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts to teach a workshop about large-format photography beginning Aug. 9. The five-day workshop's aim is to give students some shooting tips from a 25-year veteran in the field and to develop techniques using 4-by-5-inch, 8-by-10-inch, and ultralarge-format panoramic cameras. The workshop will emphasize technique and developing a personal statement.
But the class is not just for the expert. Losse plans first to go over the students' work to see where they are in their careers and what kind of help they need.
Although there is a prerequisite of intermediate-to-advanced experience in black-and-white printing, the class will review the basics as a refresher.
``I know a lot of people have rebelled against the digital craze by stepping back in time and picking up the large format,'' Losse said. ``And there are a lot of people who may have pretty limited skills in it. So we're going to be conducting the class for the broad range.''
The Art Institute of Philadelphia graduate, who has published two books, has been taking pictures since 1968. ``You can go in and work for a couple of hours in the dark by yourself, and it's almost like therapy,'' Losse said. ``You are alone most of the time, and that's a good thing, because it allows you to explore all the different things just in your head.''

large format printing : Print Your Photos Like A Pro At Home
Even with the lowest pixel available in your digital camera, you too can produce photos and prints at home that can look better than those made in photo labs. Digital photo printing has come to a point where everybody is given the choice to either produce the output by themselves or to get assistance from outside. So when you opt to do it yourself, avoid the two mistakes often made by first timers of digital photo printing.
Mistake # 1: Digital camera is not set to the highest image quality.
Solution:
The first thing you should do is to set your digital camera to the highest picture resolution available. This can be found in the camera's setup menu, and usually indicated as either "quality" or "size".
In addition, when your digital camera offers you to select between TIFF and JPG when saving your photo, opt for TIFF. TIFF images appear much cleaner, crisper, and more detailed than the JPG version. However, you have to take note that TIFF files have larger sizes than JPG that your digital memory card may not be able to save many photos. Moreover, most digital cameras have memory cards that could only hold a few high resolution TIFF images. To answer this problem, you could either buy a larger memory card that will cost you almost $100, or just settle with choosing images you like best and discarding those not at par with your tastes.
Mistake # 2: Printer is not set up for the right resolution and paper type.
Solution:
Second, when you go to your printer's settings in your computer find your printer's setup and put to highest quality color digital photo printing. This is sometimes indicated in dpi (dots per inch). Still, some printers have a "Quality versus Speed" setting which makes you choose between faster printing or better looking photos. When you're doing documents, it is better to use the Speed setting, while for photos, go for Quality.
Finally, choose a photo paper rather than plain paper. The reason why manufacturers produced and named them "photo" papers is because they're definitely for this type of use. Photo papers come in either glossy or matte finish.
And take note of the brand of the photo paper. Particular printers choose to work only with photo paper of the same brand. It's not that manufacturers wanted to get even the paper market to their side; it's just that printers and papers are usually designed around each other.
For better results, just stick to the same brand as that of your printer. Even with the introduction of third party substrates, certain problems such as smearing and unnatural color balance will just show in the end when you choose to use other brands.
