Inkjet Printer Photo Paper

Inkjet printers have become a consumer's gateway into the art of professional photos. Before photo printers, users had to go through the hassle of taking a roll of film or a digital camera to a drug store or super store to get film developed. There were two options—wait an hour or wait a week. One was expensive but got prints to consumers quickly, while the other was slow and inexpensive. Nowadays, though, there is a way to get professional prints right at home that are just as good as the prints the lab creates. Printing photos at home will also save consumers a good amount of money and will be instantaneous, unlike having them professionally developed.

Photo paper helps make photographs printed from home look more realistic than standard papers. It also will give photos better contrast and realistic detail that won't be found with multipurpose paper. Photo paper helps give deep black outlines, smooth skins tones and rich color all the way around.

Plain paper is much thinner and lighter than photo paper. When photo paper is purchased, it looks and feels just like professional prints directly from photo labs. The coating on photo paper helps hold printer ink into place. Plain paper has a much rougher surface. Photo paper keeps the inkjet prints from bleeding or creating murky images, and it is also coated with light-sensitive chemicals that will help make photos look true-to-life and realistic.

Glossy photo paper works great with inkjet printers to create high quality prints with vivid colors. These results look great whether the consumer prints photos to put into picture frames, photos for work or photos for scrapbooking. No matter what the photos are for, photo paper is what stands between photographs looking amateur and professional.

With an inkjet printer and photo paper, forget about waiting in lines or paying outrageous prices. Instead, print outstanding photos quickly, easily and affordable, right at home.
