Get your best-ever prints

However big, bright and beautiful your computer screen, there’s always something magical about seeing photos in print. Whether they are arranged in an album, framed on a desk or hanging on the wall, paper prints have real retro charm. Moreover, the high resolution of a photographic print, compared with even the latest 4K ultra-high definition monitor screens, does full justice to the levels of fine detail and texture that you can capture with today’s digital cameras.

Rather than sending your digital photos to an online print lab, creating your own photo prints at home can have several advantages. First, you’ll get your prints within seconds or minutes, rather than having to wait for anything from a day to a week or more for them to turn up in the post. Second, you have full control over the process and can fine-tune the results. In most cases, the cost of paper and ink for inkjet printing at home also work out cheaper than using a lab, especially when you factor postage into the equation.
