-=PCTechTalk=- Re: printing photos

Just remember... the XP software is really best for printing and doing so on 
the standard photo sizes. If you need to modify the images, or maybe retouch 
'em, or possibly even print at odd or custom sizes, you're gonna need some 
other packages out there. I can give you some recommendations as well on that, 
should you need it. I do a lot of photo printing.

| WOW !  Thank you!
| I thought there was something on xp for this, but couldn't find it!!
| I apprecitate the wonderful instructions!!
| I have some Kodak paper - Costco Sized 100 high gloss sheets for inket
| prints. -only 8 mil though - I have an HP printer. Also have some HP premium 
10
| mil injet - and some matte that I think came free with the glossy.And a small
| pack of kodak inkjet  'photo' paper -
| I need to put a new color ink cartridge in before I start - I'm working on a 
low
| cartridge!
| I ran the program part way - up until actually printing, and it was 'pretty
| slick' !! My choices of paper were HP photo and HP premium photo - so I'll 
guess
| on that one !
| If this is successful, I have a bunch of photo's I'd like to print!!

| If you're using XP, you already have a very good photo printing application, 
the
| built-in photo viewer. Double-click the image and when it shows onscreen just
| hit the print button. It'll then opn up and allow you to select multiple other
| images. Through the various menus, you select which photos, as well as how 
many
| of each photo you want printed, and what size you want them printed at... from
| wallet, 3.5x5, 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. And, you also go into the printer options 
for
| the best settings, which I'll explain real quick in the next paragraph.
| Most of today's inkjets are more than sufficient to print photos. You just 
need
| two things, and these two things determine how GREAT your photos can look.
|
| First, you need photo paper. Forget about the matte finish paper. Its not the
| true matte finish like you get in a photo developing shop. Its crappy matte. 
Use
| the glossy photo paper. You can get it fairly cheap. And, buying a STAPLES 
brand
| as opposed to an HP or KODAK brand DOES make a difference. I've tried many
| different brands, and STAPLES actually stinks real bad. I have an HP printer,
| and the HP brand 10 mil glossy is great. The KODAK 10 mil is equally, if not
| better, superb. The 10 mil, in case you don't know, refers to the weight of 
the
| paper. The higher the number, the thicker the paper, and usually, the better 
the
| photo. Unless you get brochure paper, don't go under 9 mil. I think the photo
| stores use 10 mil.
|
| Second, when you print, you have to make sure you tell the printer that you're
| printing to specialty paper. Select glossy, matte or whatever paper you use.
|
| Hope this info helps.
