How to Print Pictures

With color printers, it has become much easier to print pictures that have a considerable amount of quality to them. On top of that, now that there is inexpensive picture paper available, the quality of picture that can be printed is even greater. So long as the printer is of a good enough quality that it can handle specific details, the pictures that come out of it will look intense.

Printing Pictures
The first step is to open the Windows Photo Gallery program. You can find this under all programs. Then, pick the actual picture that you want to print. Click open and then select the image that you want to print. If you want to have multiple different pictures print, hit the control button and then select each one. Then on the gallery, there will be a scroll feature so you can go from picture to picture.Print Pictures
Now that the pictures are up on the screen, add the type of paper you want to print on to the printer. It is better to use photo paper because then the pictures will look like actual photographs. However, you can use simple printing paper and the picture will come out relatively clear.

Once the printer is prepared, hit the print button. Select the printer and the paper size. On top of that, you can also select the number of photos you want, the paper quality and the layout of the picture. These are all details that the printer will use to print a clear, good picture. Hit the print button and then the pictures will print. Because they are pictures, they take a little longer to print than if they were documents, but most printers today can process a picture much faster than when color printers first came out. Once the printing is done, close Windows Photo Gallery and enjoy the photos.

Ink Cartridge Refills

Official ink cartridges are expensive when compared with the cost of illing them. The price of new cartridges is so high, some consumers resort to buying a new printerwhen they run out. The printer manufactures argue that without expensive cartridges, printers would cost a lot more. That is probably true, but the consumer doesnt have to play that game.
Messy Refills

Ink cartridge ill kits contain everything required to fill an empty cartridge . The no-brand kits have an ink bottle and syringe, while the professional kits have an ink-filled bulb with a needle attached. Almost all kits come with rubber gloves, and for good reason.
Refilling ink cartridges can be messy, but most people become good at illing after a few attempts. The bulbs are the easiest and cleanest method, and they can usually be found next to the official cartridges.

Risky Refills
Using illed ink cartridges voids the warranty of most printers. The latest trick is to use a unique computer chip on the cartridge that tells the printer its genuine. If the same chip is found after a certain number of prints, the printer will permanently record this as proof that illed cartridges were used.
Printer manufacturers argue that illed ink cartridges can damage a printer. While the occasional no-brand kit will have watered-down ink that can ruin printers, many professional ills come with a warranty against printer damage. Besides, new printers are released every six months, cheaper and better than the last model. The main concern for consumers should be how well their prints look when using ink ills.

Print Quality
Black and white prints should not look different with ink ills, but color prints may have different colors, or the colors will be less vibrant. However, even ill kits cant compete with department store photo labs for price quality and convenience.

As long as you dont expect top quality photos, and dont mind a bit of mess, illing inkjetcartridges can save you a small fortune. But the most satisfying part is beating the printer manufacturers at their own game.
