If you want good quality prints, you need to choose the printer carefully.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Ink: quality and number of cartridges <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of ink cartridges used in photo printers and they here\u2019s what you need to know about them:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Colouring agents-based inks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; These are more affordable because they\u2019re just colouring agents mixed with water. While they are suitable for regular printing and you can get good quality pictures from them, they\u2019re not light-resistant and will eventually fade. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Pigment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><b>based inks \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These inks are more expensive but they\u2019re also light-resistant, vivid, and will last for a long time. These cartridges also have a higher colour gamut, which makes for better pictures. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Printing accuracy<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Printing accuracy depends largely on the size of the droplets and how well they\u2019re applied onto the sheet of paper. Some printers have a standard value of 4,800 x 2,400 dpi and others 2,880 x 1,440 dpi. The latter offers better printing accuracy, but the difference is only noticeable if you look closely at the pictures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Printing size<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people choose printers based on the maximum printing size. Brands offer printers that can print up to A4, A3, A3+, A2, and roll printing for panoramas and other such pictures. You need to choose printers that can print the size you\u2019re likely to sell or need more often. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Brands<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to photo printers, most people have to choose between Canon and Epson. Canon is more expensive but provides better quality pictures while Epson is more affordable and still provides good quality pictures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to know more about printers and their toners, don\u2019t hesitate to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonercity.com.au\/contact\/index\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at <\/span><b>Toner City <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and we\u2019ll be happy to help you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The quality of physical photographs relies largely on the quality of the printer so if your printer isn\u2019t good, you can be sure your photograph won\u2019t be as sharp and clean as it appears on your camera viewfinder or computer screen.
