Prints of your favorite photos can make wonderful, meaningful gifts. Here are a few tips for making sure your digital images look as good when printed as they do on screen.
Calibrate Your Monitor. Factory calibrations are too bright, with oversaturated colors, so images can often look dark or muddy when printed. Calibrating your display ensures a more accurate view of what your image will look like printed.
Calibrate Your Printer. Your specific printer, paper and inks all affect how your printed image will look. Calibrating your printer creates an ICC profile specific to these elements for accurate color prints.
Correct White & Black Points. Shadows and highlights can get lost in the transition from screen to print, so editing your black and white points can ensure details aren’t lost.
