Some Printing Suggestions


Some times in printing, you just grab onto any kind of paper you get hold of. This is a bad habit in printing. The print quality is sacrificed if you use a paper with poor quality. Since you are using a high quality printer, then you should set off a nice paper too so both would work together well.

You should also know how to set your printer’s default setting to different ranges. The higher the DPI or the Dots per Inch, the more prints get precise. If you are going to look closely in the prints, it is sharper and smoother.

Setting the DPI will depend upon the type of printing application. If you are using printing with Photoshop oriented images, the DPI is set on 720 or 360. If you do not set it, your printer sets it for you. Your printer automatically matches the pixels of the images to the nozzles.

It is very important to consider the DPI so that prints will be precise and produce vivid images that are top of the notch and elegant. Setting it to a lower DPI may create crooked images that may not be acceptable.
