Best printer photo greeting cards
Could I have some advice from the experts on the "best" color inkjet
printer options for doing moderate quantities of 6x9" glossy prints that will be glued to the face of greeting cards? I want them to look as much like store-made photos as possible. Recommendations for a suitable paper would also be appreciated. I prefer bright rather than soft prints. Many thanks, Robert Wilson |

I want them to look as much like store-made photos as possible. Why not print them at a decent photo store then? You can get much better quality prints off a well calibrated Fuji frontier a lot cheaper than you could ever get even with a high end colour inkjet on the best media. There is a compromise to be had with inkjet printing - the dots of ink absorbed onto the front surface of the paper necessarily increase light scatter when compared to a top grade glossy print. Not so obvious on silk or matt surface finish. Recommendations for a suitable paper would also be appreciated. I prefer bright rather than soft prints. You may need to try a range of settings to calibrate your system to generate ideal prints on the local kit but it is worth doing if you intend to print moderate sized batches. Regards, Martin Brown |

Many thanks, Robert Wilson Depends on what sort of paper you want, for gloss an Epson R800 or R1800 or HP Designjet 30. For matte an Epson 2400. These injet will give you much more control than store prints and last longer. With store bought prints (even those from a good lab) you are at the mercy of the operator and how much lattitude the shop allows for reprinting when you don't subjectivily like the print. Those who don't like inkjet prints either haven't seen one made by a compentent printer or have never mastered the skill themselves. Printers like the newHP Designjet series are self profiling on any paper, and with the correct paper have 70-100 year before noticeable fading. Tom |
