unit 310 ~ Print Images

From previous research it is clear that if choosing printed images it is essential to ensure that the printer used is of sufficient quality, to make a faithful image of that seen on screen.

Most printers are either ink-jet or laser, ink-jet work by squirting minute amounts of ink onto the chosen medium, whilst laser printers use a xerographic printing process, the image is produced by a laser beam scanning across the printers photoreceptor.   The printers ability to accept a wide range of paper sizes and weights also needs to be considered.

Higher resolution printers will give better results with some printers able to produce up to 1440x720 dots per inch, (dpi).  However, the way in which the printer uses these dots has a significant impact on the printed image and it is better to compare results rather than the number of dpi.

Following the decision to print images, whether in house or using one of the many companies offering this service, the decision then has to be made as to what form final image will take.  Whether it be on canvas, contemporary acrylic or box framed.  It could also be presented on white card or mount board, fibre or foam board with various finishes.  Framing should also be considered and there are many types and sizes available.

Another alternative is to present as an album, see an example below:
