Printing a Picture in Easy Steps

By Baddy Badllio


The advent of digital photography technology makes it possible these days for amateur photographers to take impressive photographs. Using this technology gives people the ability to take as many pictures as they want. Another important advantage of this technology is the ability to take out pictures that do not meet your standards of quality. AT the end of it all, you end up with what can be the best quality photograph for you.

With digital photography, you can really print something out almost immediately and have it ready to be framed and displayed. There is nothing really particular to know whenever you want to have a photo printed. However, it will help you to know the basic key steps to make sure you get a good quality printout. We list some of the basic steps to be able to get a good printout from the comforts of your house.

The important thing you have to do is benchmark. Using high quality photo paper is important because your photographs can last a long time when printed on these. Once you have a benchmark, you can observe any changes in quality, good or bad, when you change the ink or the paper or the software that you use. Take note of these settings carefully with complete details such as which paper or printer that you use to print your photograph. These will be important when you need to replicate a successful result.

Use a good quality printer. Bad printers will often output bad printouts. Also make sure that you keep a good maintenance record on your printer, cleaning it often and keeping it clear of dust. Put a cover on it when you're not using it. And if you do not use it frequently, make sure to print once in a while just to make sure the ink doesn't dry up. Also remember to it take to your repair shop for annual service.

Make sure that you have everything set and ready before you begin to print your photograph. Make sure that you have set your parameters such as orientation and paper size properly. Take a look at a preview of your printout to assure yourself that you've set the correct layout. At the end, do check that the paper has been placed properly into the printer paper tray. These things will make sure that you get a correctly printed photograph.

Don't handle your photograph once it has come out of the printer. If you touch the wet ink on your picture, it will smudge. What you should do is leave your printout on a flat surface for a few minutes before you handle it. Follow these steps and you can be sure that you get a photograph printout that meets your standards.
