Digital Photo Print Guide
Introduction
In recent years, dramatic advances have been made in printer performance, and now it is possible to
output very attractive prints of image data obtained with a digital camera or captured from a scan of
positive or negative film stock. Nowadays even black and white photographs can be printed by a digital
novice, achieving results equaling that of silver halide prints. Consequently, photographers are now
holding exhibitions of their printed photographic works.
