8/16/2023 0 Comments Photo paper for laser printer![]() ![]() Resolution 300-600 has little or nothing to do with it.Īre your expectations based on manufacturer description? Their claims of quality are usually wildly optimistic, borderline criminal!Īs part of my job, I print high quality portfolios for photo, art, graphics and illustration students from the local university. ![]() It sounds like you got lucky with a couple of images from a laser that costs a few hundred bucks, or the photo lab did a bad job. I think your expectations are waaaay too high, and totally agree with Zone 8. It is possible, bearing in mind your first comments, that in a similar way, the image file PPI might be "incorrect" to suit the laser DPI output that shows on some (if not all) output prints? Worth checking and comparing any printed output that looks good with any that don't and then checking the file details - as mentioned, especially the PPI for the image file as 300PPI or 600DPI is more suited to the laser output as different sequence of DPI (hence best output you mentioned of 600DPI). if you are using the PPI setting you also use for the laser. That alone could explain why your inkjet does not get the best photo quality - i.e. Especially the PPI of the image file - as one example, for Epson inkjets, use 180ppi, 360ppi or for the very best, 720ppi (check QImage recommendations and samples) as so many use 300PPI and that does not equate to getting the best quality output. Perhaps you could expand the information a bit - like what inkjet make/model, what settings and paper/inks/profiles being used, etc. 600dpi laser compared to even the basic 1440dpi inkjet make a huge difference alone but perhaps your image files need checking for the inkjet work? Certainly to my practical knowledge even the cheaper Epson inkjets can well exceed any laser output in terms of photo quality. ![]() If your inkjet is not greatly exceeding the laser output - then you need to query why not. I gave you an honest opinion, based on practical up-to-date knowledge. With the single problem I described in my original post, showing in some printouts (still, most of people would not spot it at all). I have a cheap (not the cheapest one) inkjet and my laser printer beats it hands down, also in quality aspects. It was true a few years ago, but not now.
