Set up the printer so you can print out the most satisfying photos to

For their own satisfaction with the picture always want to be able to print out, so that more people to share. However, due to the improper selection of shooting and printing, often backfired. So how can you print out a beautiful digital picture? What should you pay attention to before and after printing? The following talk about their own for more than a year to print some humble opinion, I hope netizens can correct and communicate.

I. Selection of pixel and compression rates for shooting

Different digital cameras have different pixels, even the same camera can choose different image file format and different compression rate for shooting. The size of the pixel is an important factor affecting the quality of the image, in general, the larger the pixel, the better the image detail performance. Therefore, when you need to print out the picture, in the shooting should be as far as possible select the pixel higher equipment or the most elephant image file format.

Image files for digital cameras typically have raw, TIFF, and JPEG formats. The JPEG format can also be stored according to different compression rates. With raw or TIFF format, although the image file is larger, but it retains the largest color, level and detail image information. In particular, raw format, which preserves the CCD or CMOS RAW image information, for the future adjustment of the image provides the greatest leeway. Therefore, in order to achieve the best printout effect, you should choose raw or TIFF formats as much as possible. In the case of no more than two formats, you should choose the JPEG format with the lowest compression rate for shooting and saving.

Two. Choice of printing size

In the case of image pixel and image file save format, the choice of picture print size directly affects the print quality of picture.

For high-precision picture printing, I personally think it is best to control more than 300DPI to ensure that it needs to print. According to this requirement, you can calculate the size that the picture can print, that is, a high (or wide) pixel ÷300= the size (in inches) that can be printed. X2.54= the value to the CM size that can be printed.

such as: Picture Pixel for 2540x1900, in order to ensure high-precision picture printing Select 300DPI, then you can print the size of 8.47x6.33 inches, or for 21.51x16.08cm, taking into account the left border, that is, the basic near A4 format picture.

If the same image file printed into A3 format of the picture, because the pixel is low, its printing DPI value will be reduced, the picture quality will not be as A4 format. and print A4 The following format picture that is absolutely no problem. I used Canon's G1 to choose a JPEG format without compression, and I could print out a picture that was satisfactory in A4 format.

Therefore, the choice of large pixel storage image, should be based on the needs of the output to choose and set. If only to browse on the computer, 800x600 is also more than enough, because the computer display requirements only 1024x768.

Three. Choice of printer:

If you want to print a high-precision picture, you should choose a printer that reaches the standard of the photo-level output, such as a laser and a sublimation printer. But these printers currently have a higher price. In fact, a dedicated photo-level inkjet printer has been able to meet the basic needs. k&

My Canon S800 inkjet printer prints pictures that are by no means worse than negative photo prints. Only about 2800 yuan, the average family may also be difficult to bear, while the laser and thermal sublimation printer price far more than inkjet printers. As a general printing, I think the photo-level six-color inkjet printer is basically enough to meet the needs. and four color because of lack of two kinds of middle color, the color of the transition tip, its effect is far less than six color good

Four. Selection of print media

Different print media also directly affect the print quality of the picture. Canon's printer is best to choose Canon's print media. This is because the various manufacturers have taken into account the design of their use of pigments can be produced by their own printing media the best absorption and performance.

I have tried canon, Kodak and Epson 3 different grades of paper on the Canon S800 on the printing, and canon of the most white and exquisite printing, print out the best results. Printing paper In addition to the size of different, according to its different materials are divided into high-resolution, general photo printing paper and high-light photo printing paper. High-light printing paper has the best effect, but the price is the highest.

Use that kind of paper, also need to choose according to need. The general requirements of the use of lower-priced non-high light printing paper, high demand can choose a better high light printing paper. The sample can choose High resolution printing paper.

Five. The setting of the printing software

The print driver that comes with a photo-level printer has a variety of settings, such as output quality and output paper and output size options, and even the ability to optimize the image processing when printing. The following sections should be selected primarily for use:

1. Select the high precision print of the photo level;

2. Select the type and size of paper according to the printed paper;

3. Set the printing precision at 300DPI;

4. Choose whether to optimize the image according to the need;

Various printers are set up differently, and are carefully chosen according to their operating manuals.

As long as the print output required to make the right choice, is generally able to print a satisfactory picture of the

One into the Print settings page

There are 3 main settings:

1. Printer: Some installed more than 1 printers, you need to select the printer you want to use.

2. Resolution: You should set the resolution you need, such as: 200 or 300DPI.

3. Gamma correction: To improve the use of contrast, you can choose according to the need, while the right side of the screen can be rough to see the effect of correction;

Two Property Settings page

1. Advanced PHOTOS: Should choose to print high quality high-quality photos;

2. Media type: According to the media used to select the appropriate type of media;

Three Advanced Settings page

1. Print Quality: The general default is 75%, you can also choose 100% higher precision, but the printing speed is slower;

2. Photo Optimization experts: can choose according to need, but on the screen can not see the effect of optimization;

Four Page Setup page

1. Paper size: Because a variety of paper size is not standard, can not ensure that the printing in the correct position, preferably according to the actual size set for good;

2. Direction: According to the direction of the paper placed to choose, before printing can be seen on the screen printing effect. If the setting error can be set again;

As for other settings with general printers
