Ever wonder why your prints don't match what you see on your iPhone, camera LCD, or computer monitor ? Well, it doesn't always have to do with the Printer. Most modern day printers are calibrated to make their best prints at around 300 PPI (pixels per inch). PPI should not be confused with DPI (dots per inch) which is a characteristic of Ink Jet printers and has more to do with how many small dots of ink the printer can put on a piece of paper. There could be from one to several dots for every pixel. High quality printers usually have a higher pixel density, or DPI than lower quality printers(more dots per pixel), but one of the determining factors whether you get a high resolution print or not, has more to do with File Size and PPI. To avoid getting too technical and to get a better understanding of what PPI actually is, a good example would be your computer monitor which is fixed at 72 PPI. That should mean that a printer set to print at 300 PPI resolution, can actually show a wider array of colors, detail and resolution, right ? Unfortunately that is not really the case, our computer monitors have other characteristics such as 'back lighting' that give the appearance of a much higher resolution display. In any case and again to avoid getting too technical, please follow the easy steps below, to get the best looking prints possible.
1) Use the Right File Format for Print Only send images that have been saved in JPEG, DNG, PSD, TIFF.
2) Make Any Last Edits
.
Take advantage of the final opportunity to make necessary edits to your photos. Use photo editing software to enhance the brightness, sharpness, color, contrast, and other settings to make your images stand out. This final touch ensures your photos look their best when printed. Please keep in mind that although we might make some minor edits, Major Edits are not part of our Workflow, so make sure that your files are right before they get here.
Currently C&J Photo offers 6 print sizes (please check highlighted Print Sizes in the chart
below). In order to print an 8X10 image at its highest Resolution of 300 PPI, you would need a 7.2 MB(mega byte) file. These days it's easy to achieve those file sizes with digital cameras and even iPhones produce images from 2-5 MB. Unfortunately, C&J Photo does not accept images of .5 MB (500 Kilobytes) or less. So please check the size of your photos before sending. To do this, download your photo-file to a computer. Right Click the photo-file, you should see a pop-up box with labels such as(Cut, Copy, Delete, Properties). Click on Properties. You should see something that looks like this: "Dimensions 3200 X 3200". This is the actual size of your Photo-file (width X height). So, if you do the Math: 3200 X 3200 = 10240000. Then if you eliminate the trailing zeroes, and round-off the last integer, you have a photo-file size of 10.2 MB. Go to the chart below to determine the best resolution and size that fits your needs....
