About every customer that sends one of their digital photos for photo enlargement likes to work with, or enhance their photos. I don't blame them. It's always fun to make digital enhancements and color adjustments to alter the original image. The only problem is that although you would think everyone would realize the enhancements they are seeing on their monitor may only apply to their particular monitor, and they don't. This is the way I like to describe the situation. Have you ever walked into an electronics store that displays a wall of TVs all on the same channel? They are all receiving precisely the same color embedded signal, but what a difference there is on the screens. This same principal applies to monitors and digital color. It's called additive color and the way the color gamut is interpreted depends on how the color generating elements are calibrated. All digital systems use "color profiles" as a type of standard to generate and display color. Digital image files are usually embedded with a standardized profile to help keep the color consistent during display and printing. This is where color management comes in to play. The first and most basic step in achieving correct digital color is having some sort or calibration and profiling in use with your monitor. The first part of this process is to take a look at the type and direction of ambient light you are using around the monitor. You should not have any direct light shining on the monitor screen, and using fluorescent lighting will alter displayed colors. Other types of light directly on the screen, especially bright light, will alter the brightness, contrast and color temperature levels of the display. Next you want to establish at least a basic color profile for the monitor. This will help the colors displayed to be closer to the actual file embedded color. If you are using an image editing program such as Photoshop, you should try to calibrate the monitor first using Adobe Gamma, or whatever system your image editor may provide. Doing this will help to attain correct color, brightness, contrast and color temperature levels. The monitor profile you set in the operating system should be based on the type of digital image you are working with. As an example we will say you want to set the profile for editing and enhancing digital photos. Virtually all digital cameras use the sRGB color profile as the default color space when capturing photos. You should set your monitor to this color space ...

Screen printing is a tricky, messy process, but it's the less than perfect areas that create that distinctive look. Here, Computer Arts regular Derek Lea reveals how to simulate silk-screened imperfections in Photoshop
Most large format pieces are designed to be viewed from a distance. Be sure to use large text sizes that are very easy to read. Try to stay away from really fancy fonts with details that will blend into your design and may fall apart when printing. You???ll also want to consider the contrast and how busy your design is so that your type doesn???t get lost in your creative.
It doesn't matter how good your photos are, if your images aren't displayed to their best advantage they will lose impact. It is often the simple things that spoil an image. Using simple techniques and a little care, you can easily give you images the attention that will do them justice. The materials used in printing your images play an important factor in the quality of the finished print. Printer: When buying a printer think about the materials that you'll be using. If your are going to be printing your images in large format buy a printer that can handle rolls of photographic paper. These printers are usually more expensive, but great savings can be made when buying paper. Paper: Photographic paper comes in many different sizes and textures. It doesn't do any harm to test a few different papers from different manufacturers to see which one suits your needs. Ink: When buying inks for your printer I would strongly recommend that you buy from your printer's manufactures. Third party inks will give you great savings but may not be suited for your printer. When buying a printer, photographic paper or inks, it is advisable to plan well in advance. If you are only going to print a small amount of images it may be better using your local photo lab. If you're planning to sell a large amount of images, your own printer will be very valuable. Having your own printer will ensure that you can process orders immediately after getting them. In today's world, offering a speedy delivery can be the difference in making a sale. Using a third party to print your images may take a week or more before you'll get your images back. This will not be good for your business. Presentation. When you are happy with the quality of your printer you now need to consider presentation. Placing an image in to a cheap frame will not do anything for your prints. Presentation is all about giving your images the impact they truly deserve. Before you print your images start thinking about presentation. It is often very effective to add a white border in Photoshop before printing. If you decide against Photoshop I would recommend that you mount your image before framing. When finished printing match your prints to your computer screen. If you think you have a problem with your final print you may need to calibrate your computer. This is a common problem with a lot of people printing at home. Most advance photographic software comes with a basic calibration program, which can be simply used in ...
Here are 10 things you can do to make sure red is red, no matter which device has to render it. 1. Buy a good monitor. OK, this is an open door, but by "good" i mean a monitor that you can calibrate. That rules out all the office monitors, the Apple Cinemas and leaves you with LaCie 300 range and Eizo ColorEdge products. 2. Buy a good calibration and profiling application. Even if you can't afford an Eizo ColorEdge, buy Color Solutions' basICColor Display. This software comes with a high-quality GretagMacbeth Display 2 colorimeter (called the "Squid 2" by Color Solutions), and has a feature called "software calibration". The latter calibrates any monitor by storing the calibration data (the Tone Response Curve) in the video card's lookup tables. The only requirement: your video card should support it. ATI's Radeon range supports this. 3. Calibrate and create a colour profile for your monitor once a month. Calibration is different from profiling. Calibration means the colour lookup tables in the monitor are put into a known state, while a profile merely describes the monitor's perception of colours. With calibration you tell the monitor that it must render "pure red" by setting its colour channels in a certain manner. The profile you create will tell your image editing software, or graphic design application that pure red for this monitor means a specific mixture of its colour channels. 4. Buy an inkjet printer which has non-clogging printheads. Ideally, printheads should never clog. If they do, you can rest assured your colours will come out awful. If they don't, you can still have bad colours, but now at least you can something about it. Good printers are a bit more expensive than the bottom-price inkjet printers you can buy these days. Think of paying something like 200 USD at a minimum. For top-notch printers like the HP Photosmart Pro B9180, expect to pay 700 USD. 5. Drive your inkjet through a Raster Image Processor. Many high-end printers support a RIP, but not all RIPs are created equal. EFI makes good RIPs, as do the vendors that develop more expensive RIPs for large format printers. EFI has a decent RIP, with support for ink limiting, black start setting, etc, for a very decent price. It's the EFI Designer Edition. 6. Profile your printer and use that profile with your RIP to get accurate colours, and save money on ink consumption. Through the profile settings, you can actually determine how much ink gets sprayed onto the page. For some paper type...

Well, that’s about it. All you have to do now is click the “Print…�? button. Depending on your printer, a dialog will appear that will let you customize printer properties. For example you might want to print three copies of the image or tell the printer to use more or less ink. It’s really easy to print images through Photoshop. I use this software all the time mostly for the “Scale to Fit Media�? check box I mentioned above.

Let's say you've taken some photos of your recent family vacation using your digital camera and you want to print out some 4 x 6's on your printer. We know now that in order to achieve professional quality prints, we need set the resolution of our images to a minimum of 240 pixels/inch, although 300 pixels per inch is the official standard. Let's look at both of these resolution values though to see how large of an image, in pixels, we'll need out of the camera in order to print 4 x 6's with good image quality. First, let's look at 240 pixels per inch:
