Print/Printer questions!
17 years ago
I was wondering if anyone of you is selling prints. Not that I wanna buy anything (I would if I could >.>) I was jsut curious how you make them.
Do you use an own printer and print them at home? Or do you use a printing service (like some online printing services)?
I made a few prints already, I used online printing services. But for printing portfolios they are not that good, are they?
Is printing at home cheaper than such a printing service? (consider the fact that with an online printing service I have to pay shipping costs, since we don't have a them here where I live).
When printing with an own scanner do you use special paper and how expensive would that be? (I asking that, because I have no idea about printing. I still try to figure the whole resolution/dpi thing out.)
And when printing digital images do you work with a high resolution or a high dpi? Or both? (in case there is a difference, as I said, still try to figure that out myself :/)
Uhm, yeah, I really need help here.

Than I guess I'm fine when I work btween 150 and 300 dpi. ^^
Another thing: What is a difference between dpi and the image size? In PS I can use for example 300 dpi with 850 x 850 pixel image size, but I can work with 150 dpi and the same image size. That always confuses me.(I'm fairly new to the whole computer/printing thing, I have a comp since three years and I draw since than too.)
But since I have really not much money I searched for a cheaper one and found the Canon PIXMA IP 4500. I cannot buy it now, but I heard from other people who use it since years that it is a really good printer and it has a pretty low price.
ein hochwertiger druck auf fotopapier verbraucht ink in rauhen mengen, selber schon probiert...
der einzige vorteil ist, du kannst das resultat direkt begutachten.
ich habe leider keine erfahrungen mit online-anbietern, und meine prints will eh keiner. XD
