Page 5 of 5 Other Settings. These generally tend to be unique to printers, such as the ability to print a borderless print, or are used with other programs, such as printing in a certain page order.

Working With A Digital LabWhile we’d never give up our inkjet photo printer, for some projects, we’d rather leave the printing to professionals. For extra-large output or big-volume print jobs, it’s hard to match the capabilities and speed of a professional lab at home. Online labs like Miller’s Mpix (www.mpix.com) make it easy to order digital prints at standard sizes all the way up to 20x30 inches at very affordable prices. Online labs typically give you a discount when you order lots of reprints. Try getting a discount from your home inkjet printer. In addition to standard prints, though, you can order all kinds of creative photo gifts without having to spend time in front of the computer designing them. Mpix, for example, can turn your photos into a deck of playing cards, a magazine cover or baseball trading cards, in addition to the typical photo gifts like calendars, books and greeting cards. Your local photo lab likely offers many of these same services. The advantage of working with an online lab is that everything can be done from the comfort of your desktop darkroom. Just upload your images to the lab, place your order, and your creations are shipped to your home. It doesn’t get any easier.   |
