Digital Coin Photography – H. Craig Hamling – October 2001

Printing

Every printer has its own quirks.  I have achieved good results with several different moderately priced ink jet printers using glossy paper.  Some of them come with a setting for digital camera images and some don’t.  All of them enable you to select a paper size, orientation and type.  The best printed pictures are made on photo quality glossy paper.  I am able to print out four nice pictures on a single piece of paper by enlarging the picture 120%, rotating 90 degrees and changing the margins so that the image is printed in four different corners of the paper.  I also either use the built in setting on the printer for digital camera images or use an auto balance image enhancement in the Photo editor program before printing.

Here is a picture as made:

And here is that same pictured which was “auto balanced”:

They just seem to print out nicer after the auto balancing…
