Our 15 step guide will help you take your images from screen to print, making sure the end result looks exactly as you want it to.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133841 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-SpyderX-Pro.jpg\" alt=\"Better prints SpyderX Pro\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-SpyderX-Pro.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-SpyderX-Pro.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-SpyderX-Pro.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-SpyderX-Pro.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>1. Calibrate your screen<\/h3>\n<p>All too often, your printed photos can bear little resemblance to the digital image you see on screen. The prime culprit is your computer monitor, which is likely to need calibration. Even screens that have dedicated sRGB and Adobe RGB modes can lack accuracy, and settings can drift over time, so it\u2019s worth investing in a calibration tool like the Datacolor SpyderX Pro or Elite.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>2. Choose the right paper for your photographic prints<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s quite a chemistry between printer ink and photo paper. These two components are carefully formulated by inkjet printer manufacturers, so that they work together to give optimum colour and tonal accuracy, and the best definition without colours running into each other on the page. It\u2019s best to stick with the printer maker\u2019s own photo papers (or a directly supported alternative) to ensure the best results and resistance to fading.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133883 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-inks.jpg\" alt=\"Better prints inks\" width=\"630\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-inks.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-inks.jpg?resize=300,143 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-inks.jpg?resize=562,268 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>3. Don&#8217;t use cheap inks<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s often said that printer ink is more expensive per millilitre than the nest champagne or perfume, or even the cost of human blood for hospital use. It\u2019s therefore tempting to substitute genuine ink cartridges from the likes of Epson and Canon, in favour of cheap alternatives. However, cheap inks may contain impurities that can block print head nozzles and generally result in poor colour accuracy<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>4. Check your printer regularly<\/h3>\n<p>Communication is mostly digital these days and some of us only use a printer quite rarely. Even so, avoid leaving it on the shelf for too long, as the ink can dry in the print head nozzles and become very difficult to shift. Most inkjet printers run a mini-cleaning cycle at or shortly after switch-on, so it\u2019s worth at least turning on your printer for a few minutes each week.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>5. Supersize your prints<\/h3>\n<p>A4 prints tend to look a little lost and insignificant when hung on the wall. Trade up to an A3+ or \u2018Super A3\u2019 printer and you can create photo prints up to 19x13in (483x329mm). Top choices include Canon\u2019s PIXMA PRO-100S and PRO-10S, which run on dye and pigment-based inks respectively. The PRO-10S has a \u2018chroma optimizer\u2019 cartridge in its line-up, which enables unusually smooth output on glossy paper for a pigment-based printer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133840 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-printer-properties.jpg\" alt=\"Better prints printer properties\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-printer-properties.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-printer-properties.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-printer-properties.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-printer-properties.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>6. Set your printer to the right paper setting<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s not much point in using the printer manufacturer\u2019s photo paper if you don\u2019t tell the printer what you\u2019re feeding into it. For example, Canon makes Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, Pro Platinum glossy, lustre, matte and fine art papers, all of which require different amounts of ink for the best and most accurate results.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>7. Choose the right type of printer ink<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no beating dye-based inks for smooth output on glossy paper but some A3+ and larger printers run on pigment-based inks instead. These are generally better for printing on matte and fine art media, delivering better-looking and more robust, fade-resistant results. Additional grey inks are often featured, for enhanced delity in black &amp; white photo printing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>8. Run the\u00a0print head alignment procedure<\/h3>\n<p>The chances are that your new printer has been bounced around quite a lot in transit, between leaving the factory and arriving at your home. A print head alignment procedure normally forms part of the initial set-up routine, and it\u2019s best not to skip this step if you want the sharpest-looking output. It can also be worth repeating the process every few months, to maintain optimum results.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133836 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-nozzle-check.jpg\" alt=\"Better prints nozzle check\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-nozzle-check.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-nozzle-check.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-nozzle-check.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-nozzle-check.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>9.Check your printer nozzle<\/h3>\n<p>If you notice faint lines across your photo prints, it\u2019s likely that some of the nozzles in the print head are blocked. Run a nozzle check routine from the printer properties dialog box, or onboard menu, and select a cleaning cycle if required. Stubborn blocks may require a \u2018deep cleaning\u2019 cycle, if featured.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>10. Visit a professional printers<\/h3>\n<p>Home printing is unbeatable for immediacy but there are advantages in having your prints created by an online lab. There\u2019s much more choice in sizes and aspect ratios, typically ranging up to around 60x40in poster prints. You\u2019ll also get a wider selection of finishes to choose from, often including acrylic, aluminium Dibond, boxed canvas prints and more. Our favourite labs for large-format printing include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loxleycolour.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loxley Colour<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitewall.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whitewall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133842 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-pigment-based-inks-1.jpg\" alt=\"Better prints pigment-based inks\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-pigment-based-inks-1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-pigment-based-inks-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-pigment-based-inks-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-pigment-based-inks-1.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>11. No touching<\/h3>\n<p>Photo prints that are created with dye-based inks on glossy paper are pretty much touch-dry even as they hit the printer\u2019s output tray. That\u2019s because the ink passes through the paper\u2019s protective glossy covering before fixing into the paper. Even so, it\u2019s best to let them dry for a few minutes before touching the surface. With larger molecules that remain on the surface of the paper, pigment-based inks take much longer to dry and are prone to smudging if you touch them within a few minutes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>12. Take advantage of professional framing<\/h3>\n<p>Another plus point for getting your large-format prints created by an online lab is that many include mounting and framing services. You can therefore get the complete, finished product delivered to your door, ready to hang on the wall. Job done!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>13. Choose the best quality mode<\/h3>\n<p>The standard photo print quality setting should enable rapid results and is generally fine for outputting postcard-sized prints in just a few seconds. When printing at A4, or larger sizes if you have a bigger printer, it\u2019s worth switching to the best quality mode. Prints may take about twice as long to create, at around two minutes for most A4 printers, but the higher resolution enables more detail, better tonal definition and smoother colour gradations.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133837 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-photo-enhancement.jpg\" alt=\"Better prints photo enhancement\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-photo-enhancement.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-photo-enhancement.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-photo-enhancement.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-photo-enhancement.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>14. Avoid\u00a0\u2018photo enhancement\u2019 mode<\/h3>\n<p>Many printers use a \u2018photo enhancement\u2019 mode by default, intending to make photo prints look their best. However, the results can sometimes look over-saturated, too high in contrast, or downright lurid. It\u2019s generally better to edit your images so they have your desired brightness, contrast and colour rendition, and to switch off any enhancements.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>15. Check the printing colour space<\/h3>\n<p>The standard colour space for digital imagery is sRGB. The main alternative is Adobe RGB, which is often favoured by landscape photographers for its extended range in the cyan and green areas of the spectrum. Whichever you use, you\u2019ll need to ensure that the printing colour space is the same as the working colour space, otherwise the results will be hugely inaccurate.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Matthew Richards began his career as a broadcast engineer for the BBC in London and for companies across Southern Africa.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/01\/Better-prints-print-setting-e1579535107461.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 11:39:15","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117488"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":133937,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117488\/revisions\/133937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117488"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=117488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
