Photo printers

By: Canon Australia

Now that digital cameras are so affordable and easy to use, people are taking more pictures than ever. However, because you can see the photo instantly and share them via email, the majority of people find themselves with a backlog of pictures that need to be printed. One solution to this problem is to purchase a photo printer that makes it convenient to print pictures at home.

What are photo printers?

Photo printers are printers that are printers that are designed specifically for printing high-quality photos. There are two types of photo printers. Some function much like standard printers in that they sit on your desktop and can be used for printing other documents. Others are standalone printers dedicated solely to pictures and do not have to be connected to a computer. Both types are built to do the same thing: replicate the look and feel of a professionally developed photo.

Most photo printers are inkjet printers. However, they’re different from standard inkjet printers because they use six rather than four inks, with additional cartridges to enrich the colours of the prints. Typically these additional colours are photo yellow, photo cyan, lphoto magenta and photo black. Black and white photos are also enhanced by the photo printer’s increased use of shades of gray and black.

Obviously any inkjet printer can produce photo images. The difference is that true photo printers offer a level of quality and brilliance that standard printers just can’t compete with. Also, many photo printers offer features and options that help you create the best picture possible.

Some photo printers are portable and don’t need a computer to print. These are dye-sublimation printers. These printers employ a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye to a medium such as photo paper. The process is usually to lay one color at a time using a ribbon that has color panels. Cameras or memory cards can be plugged directly into this type of printer, for easy printing on the go.

Benefits of photo printers

The main benefit of photo printers is convenience. There’s no need to drive to the store to have your film developed. You can have the picture in your hand in a matter of minutes, even seconds. If you need a picture at one o’clock in the morning, you can have it!

Another benefit is the ability to tweak your photos until you get them just right. Particularly those who enjoy the creative and artistic aspects of photography will want the ability to print a picture multiple times after making adjustments. You can also use your printer to create cards, calendars, origami and photo montages for the fridge!

Some photo printers are extremely high-tech. As mentioned above, standalone printers are portable and don’t require a computer to print photos. Most connect directly to your camera or have slots for you to insert your camera’s memory card.

Where to buy photo printers

When shopping for photo printers, you’ll find that you have more places to choose from than with standard printers. In addition to computer and office supply stores, you can also find photo printers in stores that specialise in cameras and camera equipment.

Of course, you can always shop online for your photo printers as well. The best way to buy a photo printer is to head to a manufacturer’s website and view their photo printer range.

When printing out digital pictures, we all have the same goal. We want photos that look like the “real thing.” We don’t want pictures that look as if they were printed from a computer. The best way to print your own pictures and get the quality you want is to purchase a photo printer.
