Types of photo printers
Photo printers
The printer you choose depends on what you want to do with it. Do you occasionally want to print a photo and isn't quality very important to you? You can choose one of the inkjet printers from our assortment. If you print photos more often and you do value quality, it's best to choose a photo printer with more than 4 cartridges. These printers are specially made for printing photos. The extra cartridges include photo black ink or light tones of cyan, magenta, and yellow. This allows you to print photos with deep colors and a beautiful contrast. In the following article, you can read more on how to choose a photo printer.
Pocket printers
Choose a pocket printer if you want to print small photos, like ones from Instagram or Facebook. A pocket printer has a compact size, so you can easily take it anywhere with you. Some pocket printers work with ink, while others use a technique that doesn't require ink. Print a nice photo at a party or during your vacation. Give it to your friend or put it in your calendar or photo album right away.
Choose special photo paper
In addition to the number of cartridges in your printer, the photo paper that you use is also important. The thicker the paper, the more beautiful the photo and the longer the photo stays beautiful. Make sure that your printer is suitable for the thickness of the paper. Choose a glossy or high gloss for a beautiful shine on your photos. Finally, the settings are important when printing. When printing, choose the highest print resolution that your printer supports and always select high quality in the print menu. This means that printing takes a little longer, but your photos look much nicer.
