Photo Printing Tips
If you are to buy a printer, you’ll want a printer with at least four ink colors. For colorful, crisp, and professional looking prints, choose a printer with at least 600×600 dpi (dots per inch). Remember, file size is very important. In order to achieve the best results, you should print your photo files with a resolution of at least 240. If you print less than that, you will get result with a noticeable pixilated look. Thus, the higher the resolution, the finer the printed image quality.

It’s imperative to use the most current version available for your printer. Most of printer maker today provide their printer driver for free. So you shouldn’t be worry about it.

Unless you intend to print a lot of photos, you actually won’t need a special photo printer. Today, there are many general purpose printer that can print good photos. What you need to provide, however, is a fine quality ink cartridges.
Yes, they are commonly expensive, I hear you. I myself believe that quality inkjet cartridges shouldn’t cost more than my printer. I don’t hesitate to invest on a fine printer, but I’ve fed up with paying their cartridges prices.

I do my research in order to find high-quality compatible and remanufactured inkjet cartridges at affordable prices. Then I found carrotink. I must say their service is so reassuring. Every toner cartridges you buy has been manufactured under stringent ISO 9001/2000 standards. Well, not that I care so much about that. What I care the most is the result and the price. Their cartridge cost 30-70% less than that of the name brands, and the printing output is simply satisfying.
Whether you want to use canon inkjet cartridges or the other, as long as you have a fine quality yet affordable cartridge, then you have nothing to worry about. Just make sure your inkjet printer is set to the highest quality for the type of paper you are using, and enjoy the results.
