Things You'll Need:
- Photo
- Photo paper
- High quality ink
- Printer
-
Step 1
Use a good digital camera. For good 4 x 6 inch and 8 x 10 inch prints, you’ll want a camera with at least two or three megapixels.
-
Step 2
Buy photo paper. Spend that extra dollar to get specially designed, high-gloss photo paper that is specifically designed for your printer.
-
Step 3
Use photo ink. High quality photos take high quality ink. Don’t use the same ink that you use for documents.
-
Step 4
Optimize your settings. Open up your "Printer Properties" in the "Control Panel" and find the "Preferences" or "Quality" tab. Set the quality to the highest or choose a photo preset.
-
Step 5
Edit photos on your computer. Import your photos from a CD or your digital camera. See your camera’s manual to find out more.
-
Step 6
Crop and resize. Cut out anything extra in the background that you don’t want and resize the picture so it will fit on the page.
-
Step 7
Select "Print Preview." Make sure everything looks good before printing.
-
Step 8
Print!
