Many people are attracted to the “convenience” of printing their own photos. Today’s printer technology allows the any person with a personal computer to print some very nice photos. But there is a price to pay for this convenience and some long term risks.
Besides having to purchase a photo printer, the ink needed to print high-quality photos can be costly. In addition, good photo paper must be used which is another cost.
Quality photo paper is a must for those important photos. Photos printed on average paper will fade over time.
Photo paper manufacturers make high-quality archival paper which is expensive. They also make archival ink that should be used with the archival paper. Archival ink and paper is the only option for photos that are important enough to be printed.
So what is the solution? Let the pros print your photos on quality paper with quality ink. I use Kodak Gallery.
I just email or upload my photos and Kodak prints them on Kodak paper. Kodak then mails me my photos in just a few days. I now have my photos on quality paper. No ink, no expensive paper, and the convenience of having them delivered.
Consider letting the pros print your important photos.
