in order to let users know more about the influence of different printing paper on the printing effect, we choose two sizes to output photos, one is A6 size, and the other is A4 size. Printing A6 size photos can be closer to the actual use effect, and printing A4 size can reflect the overall picture and flatness of the paper.
In the contrast of smooth printing effect, the paper type and thickness will be marked on the photo, so that users will not have to guess what paper it is and how thick it is, and it is more convenient to compare it with their own printed photos.
A6 size photos
Six kinds of photo paper proofs (135 high-gloss adhesive, 17 high-grade pearlescent 18g high-gloss waterproof, 2 high-gloss waterproof, 235 high-gloss waterproof and 235 high/calendering) were used in the test; There are 11 kinds of ink paper (95, 1, 15, 18, 11, 135 backed, 14 double-sided, 16 cards, 21 beige cards, 22 embossed cards, 22 double-sided cards).
Reminder: If you like to print photos at home, don't change to another brand or printing paper if you choose the ink and printing paper that suits you. Because this will change the printing effect, but the photos can't achieve our satisfactory effect. Therefore, the quality of printing effect is not the reason of the printer, but the choice of ink and printing paper.
question 2: what paper is the best for printing photos with a printer? First of all, we should make clear the classification, use and characteristics of printed paper. According to the quality classification, it can be divided into plain paper, inkjet paper and photo paper, and the paper should be selected according to the printing requirements. The simplest and most common printing medium of ordinary printing paper is the printing paper that we usually use to print all kinds of text files. Color ink-jet printing paper The basic characteristics of color ink-jet printing paper are fast ink absorption speed and non-diffusion of ink droplets. The picture is clear and has certain water resistance and light resistance. It is advisable to record images or characters on it. High-gloss inkjet printing paper The coating of high-gloss inkjet printing paper is based on RC(Resin Coated) paper, which is suitable for image output with bright colors and photographic effects. It has a high resolution, generally at 72dpi. The printed images are clear and bright, with good luster, and the indoor furnishings have good light resistance and color fastness. Generally, it is equipped with high-grade inkjet printer. Matte ink-jet printing paper Matte ink-jet printing paper is based on RC paper, which has medium gloss and high resolution, is suitable for image output with photographic effect, and has bright and full colors and good light resistance. Rich and full of color. After figuring out the above problems, it is easy for us to choose printing paper according to our needs. When using an inkjet printer to print photos (or photo-quality pictures), you must use photo paper. If you care about the printing effect of photos, it is recommended to buy the original photo printing paper from the printer manufacturer, use Epson's printer, and it is best to choose Epson's printing paper, so that ink and printing paper can form the best match. You must use photo printing paper to print photos, and you can use ordinary printing paper to print ordinary documents.
Question 3: What are the specifications of the photo paper used to print photos with the printer? In terms of specifications, A5, A4,A3,B4,B3, etc., A4 is the standard specification
Generally speaking, the manufacturer of the printer will advise you to use the original photo paper of the same brand. Is this statement right? The answer is: yes and no.
It's right, because for printers, ink, nozzles and paper are an organic whole, and the manufacturer knows the performance of ink best. Therefore, if compatible photo printing paper is used, ink may penetrate into paper fibers before drying, which directly leads to color distortion and image resolution reduction. It is wrong because the quality of some compatible photo paper is even higher than that of the original photo paper. For example, Kodak's Royal Premium Inkjet Paper is the top photo paper on the market, and its effect is better than some low-end original photo papers. At the same time, if some daily photos are not prepared for long-term preservation, there is no need to use original photo paper, and ordinary photo paper can be used.
At present, the giants in the field of inkjet printing include Canon, Epson and Hewlett-Packard, which hold more than 8% of the market share and have countless printing patents. Here are the original photo papers of these companies and several other compatible photo papers.
Ultima product series is Kodak's best photo paper. It can provide professional output results, with a weight of 27g/m2 and a storage life of about 1 years. Therefore, Ultima is the highest quality and longest-lasting ink-jet printing photographic paper at present, so it is the best choice for you to use in photo albums, display windows and photo frames to collect your most precious photos. Ultima belongs to heavy photographic paper, which can be divided into Ultra Glossy and Satin Finish, and can be used to make photos with full and bright colors. Ultima is a high-end photographic paper, and the price is definitely not cheap.
the price of its matte paper is 112 yuan (standard A4, 15-sheet package).
Premium is photographic paper with resin coating, which is suitable for reprinting and enlarging favorite photos, and can make printed photos have the appearance and texture of traditional photos. At the same time, it has excellent photo quality, and it can also be divided into Ultra Glossy and Satin Finish. Compared with Ultima product series, this kind of photographic paper is much lighter and the texture is obviously weaker. However, there are many sizes and packaging specifications of this photographic paper, which gives you more choices.
the price of super glossy surface is 14 yuan (standard A4, 15-sheet package).
Double Sided Glossy Picture is suitable for printing daily photos, which can make photos rich in details and easily print high-quality photos. Its double-sided design allows you to easily load it on the printer and share it with everyone. It is a wise choice for you to make small-sized photos. The specifications of this photographic paper are also quite a few, and its 25 sheets are packed in 88 yuan (standard A4).
On the whole, Kodak's photo printing paper has excellent quality, but the price is higher. Suitable for the collection of the most precious photos.
Epson is also a leader in printing. Epson's ink technology has many advanced patented technologies, and Epson's photo printing paper is to cooperate with its printer-related products.
Epson high-quality glossy photo paper, specially designed for family needs, with bright white paper and bright colors; Its sense of weight and thickness is comparable to that of real photos; It has strong scratch resistance and water resistance, and is suitable for printing all kinds of high-quality color photos and pictures. Epson's high-gloss photographic paper is sold in 12 yuan (standard A4, 2-sheet package).
Epson photo paper (economic photo paper) has bright and full colors and is not easy to wrinkle; Excellent cost performance, printing effect comparable to photo quality, suitable for printing all kinds of color photos and pictures. Such as daily photos, digital photos, high-resolution portraits, previews of finished advertisements, posters, poster samples, etc. Affordable prices provide the demand for extensive production of personal works!
the price of economical photo paper is 5 yuan (standard A4, 2-sheet package).
However, buyers should note that compared with Kodak photo paper, Epson photo paper has a relatively short storage time. There is also the compatibility of Epson photographic paper. Generally, it is better to use a matching printer.

question 4: which kind of photographic paper prints the photos well? It's better to say that Kodak is an old brand, and the brand's popularity is wide, and Fuji's photo paper is not bad, but now many physical print shops are forced to reduce the cost of photo paper by the low cost of online print shops, which can be imagined that the quality will be reduced, so if you want to develop photos, you'd better go online and find a professional print shop.
according to youfu. com's more than ten years' experience in digital printing and color management, Kodak's photo paper is more suitable for people's photos, while Fuji's photo paper is more suitable for landscape photos, one soft and one bright. In addition, photo paper can be divided into glossy paper and suede paper. Smooth paper has smooth surface, good definition and high brightness, and is generally suitable for product photos or artistic photos. Velvet paper has a rough surface, feels sanded, is not easy to leave fingerprints on photos, and has a low brightness, so it is generally suitable for life photos.
question 5: what kind of photographic paper do you usually choose for developing photos? Photographic paper is divided into civil photographic paper and professional photographic paper.
civil photographic paper is used by general print shops, mainly Kodak, Fuji, Le Kai and DNP (formerly Konica Minolta). The familiar Kodak Royal Photographic Paper, Kodak Regent Photographic Paper and Kodak Olympic Photographic Paper all belong to civil photographic paper.
professional photographic paper: as the name implies, it is used professionally, mainly for printing wedding photos, photographic works (works of professional photographers) and advertisements in the printing workshop. Professional photographic paper is only supplied by Kodak and Fuji, and other brands use civil photographic paper as professional photographic paper. Pay special attention to this.
since most consumers develop 5 or 6 "photos, the imaging requirements for photographic paper are not very high. However, most of the professionally developed photos are large-format, even as large as 4, and few are smaller than 8. Therefore, the imaging requirements for photographic paper are much higher than those for civil use.
as for the printing effect, this is a matter of opinion. Kodak emphasizes color reproduction and tends to warm colors, while Fuji pursues sharp colors and tends to cool colors.
Personally, I think the shooting quality is the root of the picture quality. If the shooting is not good, it is impossible to get the best effect with the best materials, although there are various softwares that can "remedy" it now.
smooth surface is more suitable for landscape photos and advertising pictures
suede is more suitable for portrait photos, because it reduces the smoothness indicated by photographic paper to a certain extent and has the effect of a soft mirror, so the printing companies that serve wedding photo studios often use velvet paper.
the thickness of photographic paper is only a matter of paper base, and the key to the quality of photographic paper lies in the photosensitive materials on it. Photosensitive materials with different formulations can be made into professional or civil photographic paper with different effects.
for ordinary consumers, there is almost no difference in the quality of photographic paper, but from a professional point of view, there is definitely a difference, and some differences are still very big.
question 6: what paper is used to print photos … there are special photo printing papers, which are sold in places where consumables are sold
question 7: what is the best photo paper for professional photos? RC photographic paper.
RC photographic paper is also called gap-type photographic paper. Like traditional photographic paper, the base paper is coated with waterproof PE coating RESIN
COATING on both sides of the base paper. Its coating is made of nano-scale silicon dioxide material (the particle diameter is below 15 nm), forming extremely fine inorganic-organic composite particles. After the ink is sprayed, it is quickly absorbed by micropores similar to a honeycomb, hence the name of gap-type photographic paper.
question 8: what are the best photo papers for printing ID photos? Introduce his college graduation certificate. It's not ink-jet printing. It's a professional photo paper for thermal sublimation machines, such as Mitsubishi and Kobelco, and the machines are not cheap.
You can use the RC printing camera in Le Kai to print ID photos.
Question 9: What kind of printer should I use to print pictures? I study advertising, and I come into contact with such things every day. Tell you my experience.
if you print the pictures as you say, there are some limitations.
At present, there are two main types of drawing machines
1. Inkjet printer. 2. Machine-optical printer.
(1) Ink-jet printer is the most widely used drawing medium in the market at present. Simply put, it is characterized in that color ink is sprayed on the paper surface in dots, and finally an image is formed.
it is not waterproof, and its speed is slow, but its color is bright. It can be sprayed on more media, such as photographic paper, background paper and white cardboard. It has a wide range of uses, ranging from small household use to huge advertisements seen outside, all of which are inkjet.
(2) Laser printers are rarely used because of their high cost. But the drawing speed is very fast, almost every second. The image is fine, without texture and dot matrix. The color is gray. Waterproof.
let me introduce the brand to you.
two optional brands are suggested: EPSON and HP.
Epson is a brand used by the public, and its products are more suitable for families, and its consumables are lower than HP's. I use the machine Epson R25, which is very easy to use.
HP is suitable for companies and other institutions, and its consumables are also expensive.
There is no difference in the chances of drawing effect between the two companies. I prefer EPSON.
finally, talk about consumables.
inkjet printer (press R25), generally four ink cartridges (CMYK) each with an average of 6-8 yuan. Four down. 24-32 yuan. The plotting quantity is between 6 and 8 sheets (A4 paper).
so it is more laborious for the average person to bear it. However, there is an external ink cartridge in the market. If you transform the machine and buy other brands of bulk ink, the savings will be high. Although the color quality will be slightly reduced, the impact will be small. But it seems that we can only transform EPSON.
laser machine, if you are ... "ten thousand households", and your home use area is more than 1 square meters or 24-hour ventilation can be considered, that thing, you need to change four toners and four tin drums. Come down a thousand times! Can buy another machine. Moreover, if you use it at home, the ventilation is not good, and the toner particles will float everywhere, which is not good for your health. So I suggest you give up.
don't talk about being too professional. You have to thank me for playing so much.
question 1: what kind of photo paper does the laser printer want to print? At present, there are 127 ? 152 and 23 kinds of photo papers on market letters. The professional photo red is Kodak ? Fuji, and the two kinds of photo papers have their own advantages: Fuji is thin, but rich in color, and Kodak is thick, but the color is blue!
