Photoshop Tutorials – Printing on Paper

A user creates or edits the image in Photoshop either to get it printed on paper or to use it on the web and in other programs. Today we discuss printing the Photoshop work on paper. One can print an image from any kind of printer. The printers also have clarity in the form of dots per inch popularly known as dpi. It refers to how many dots per inch the printer can print. The higher the dots per inch printed, the clearer the image prints on the paper. It is also true that the higher the dots per inch, the printer will be more expensive.


The most common types of printers used to print Photoshop Images are:-


1) DeskJet Printers – These printers print on paper by spraying jets of ink on the paper. The ink is water based or solid which melts just before printing on paper.

2) Dye – Sublimation printers – These types of printers are more expensive then DeskJet printers but the quality of inks is better than that of DeskJet printers. These printers contain a continuous ribbon of color panels in a roll, which is the same width as that of the ink and also a panel is used only once. The print head’s tiny heating elements can melt dots of dye over a range of 256 values to generate 16.8 million colors.

3) Thermal Wax Printers – These printers use blocks of wax that are melted and sprayed directly on the paper.


Hence we see that Photoshop images can be printed using the above printers. Laser printers are widely used in large organizations as they print with good quality and also print the images faster than other images. Any type of Photoshop image can be printed on paper. It is essential to go to page setup option and enter details regarding the width and the height of the paper used in the printer.

One can also mention the orientation of the page whether it will be portrait or landscape. In the print dialog box one can enter options like the number of pages to be printed, the scale at which the image should be printed and also whether the printing should be done in economy mode, best mode or normal mode. There are a lot of other options also, but they depend on which type and model of printer is used.
