What Is A High-Quality Print?

You may be wondering how to achieve a high-quality print. Sometimes it does not necessarily mean to be a professional to obtain a high-quality print. There are some helpful ways to enhance your prints and eventually get high-quality prints.

High-quality print is sharper and more detailed. The resolution of the image is very essential in terms of quality. If you want to achieve a beautiful and professional look of images, make sure that the resolution is high. A higher resolution provides a high-quality print of an image. 

Here are some tips a newbie can consider:

Use photo paper

If you want to achieve a high-quality print of images, it is best to use matte photo paper. It yields an old-fashioned look of the print. Make sure to use the photo paper specific to your printer.

Heavy papers

Another option to photo paper is heavy paper, especially if you will use an inkjet printer. Otherwise, if you will use regular weight paper, expect that it will buckle or wrinkle. Examples of heavier paper are white matte 65lb. card stock. You can achieve high-quality print using heavier papers if you will use an inkjet printer.

Printer settings

The printer settings are significant to achieving high-quality print. Adjust the print setting and select the option that can yield the best results. However, the quality of the photo paper should also match the printer setting. Likewise, a printer that uses pigment inks is perfect to achieve high-quality print. The pigment inks are both fade-proof and waterproof.

Laser printing

If you engage in image transfer, the best way to realize a high-quality print is through laser printing. Many shops offer laser printing at a reasonable cost. It is best for printing invitations, programs, and others.

Color of ink

The color of the ink is also essential for the quality of the print image. The RGB or red, green, and blue are a digital-only color scheme that results in a more vivid color. However, if you want a more realistic color of the image, use the CMYK or the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black colors.

Takeaway

Achieving high-quality print requires higher resolutions. But the resolution depends on the printing project and the size. If you will print business cards, brochures, leaflets, and flyers use resolutions as high as 300 DPI. Posters require lower DPI as they are larger in size. The print quality means a lot to the output of your printing project.
