How To Choose The Best Digital Photo Printer

You've got a great digital camera and are on your way to taking photography as a hobby, but printing your digital photos in regular shops is way out of your budget. How can you share digital photo prints with friends and family without burning a hole in your pocket? Invest in the best digital photo printer.

There are a lot of digital photo printers in the market today and varied brands, a long list of features and different price tags make it difficult to choose the best digital photo printer. Following these simple tips, though, can help you narrow down your choices and lead you to the perfect digital photo printer for you.

- Decide on how large your prints will be. If you're happy with printing 4 x 6 pictures, then you don't have to buy an expensive, full-sized printer. Most entry level printers can print on standard US letter-sized paper, and unless you plan to enlarge your photos, you can settle for a basic digital photo printer.

- Inkjet or Dye Sub? This is about the most important question you have to ask yourself before deciding on the best digital photo printer. Dye sub (sublimation) printers make use of heat to transfer dye onto thicker paper such as digital photo printer paper, fabric or cards. Inkjet printers, on the other hand, print images / text using tiny dots of ink. While dye sublimation printers are the obvious choice for high-quality digital photo prints, they are more expensive than inkjet printers and are not as versatile. Choose an inkjet printer if you plan on using your printer for both images and text.

- Figure out how much resolution you need. DPI (dots per inch) refer to the amount of ink dots the printer uses per inch to form text or graphics. The higher the dpi, the clearer and more refined your photo print out. The standard is about 2,400 dpi for good inkjet printers, and 300 dpi or less for a dye sub printer.

- Read digital photo printer reviews. Customers who have bought digital photo printers usually post user reviews in tech sites or even blogs. Research and read digital photo printer reviews, and ask your friends about their ideas on the best digital photo printers.

- Pay attention to different features. Many additional features are offered in the latest digital photo printers, and these will give you a lot of options to play around with. Many printers have memory card slots, so all you have to do is insert your camera's or your phone's memory card in the printer's slot to be able to print images. Still other printers have an LCD screen, so you can make simple edits to the photos (such as adding a date or time or removing red eye) straight from the printer. The best digital photo printers feature PictBridge direct printing (available in most new digital cameras), wherein you can connect your camera straight to the printer via a USB slot, without having to pass through your computer.

- Factor in additional costs. You can save money by printing your photos on your own digital photo printer, but if the ink cartridge of that particular printer model is hard to find or expensive, or if your printer needs a special kind of paper to print quality photos, then you'll spend much more than you bargained for.

Make sure that the printer's ink cartridges and digital photo printer paper don't cost an arm and a leg, and are easy to find. Some printers will also work well with third-party ink cartridges, so it's good to check if the printer you're eyeing will work with those.

Technology nowadays has given artists and photographers an affordable, easy way to share their work and their masterpieces. Don't get left behind and leave your photo printing to your regular neighborhood photo stand; choose the best digital photo printer to help you realize your Anne Geddes dreams.
