Where is it cheaper to print a digital photo in Moscow? I compared the prices of 13 digital photo printing companies and found that the most low prices at Netprint.ru. Only they have a seal digital photography 10x15 costs 2.99 rubles. Everyone else usually has more than 4 rubles. In addition, they have a whole network of collection points in Moscow, and you can also print via the Internet with delivery. See detailed information about digital photo printing studios:

Printing a digital photo costs 8 rubles. Order via the Internet. What is convenient is that there are many salons where you can call for an order. (over a hundred collection points)

Printing a digital photo 10x15 costs 7 rubles. You can send it by e-mail, but they always ask you to call back later. Well, this is one of my favorite salons, because they take very high-quality photographs, and do not stamp them as usual on the machine. Rec.

Envelopes with printed photographs.

Digital photography allows you to view the results of shooting directly on your computer, so today we print much less often than in film times. However, it is precisely due to the “exclusivity” of the task that the requirements for the quality of hard copies grow: having spent time on selecting and processing the best shots, we expect to see no less high-quality results on paper. But how to achieve the maximum match of our image on the monitor and photographic paper? When preparing files for printing, many (even experienced) photographers have questions, and I will try to answer the most common ones.

• What are minilabs?
• How to control the sharpness on the print?
• What paper to choose - matte or glossy?
• How to make the print match the picture on the monitor?
• What is color correction in printing and why is it needed?
• How can I find out the color correction parameters that the operator entered when printing?
• Is it possible to print real b/w?

What are the ways to print photos?

The most common technologies today:
* photo printing in a chemical process;
* inkjet printing.

In the first case, the picture is projected in the dark onto photographic paper; then the imprint enters the chemical
process - developing, bleaching, fixing, washing. Everything is like in the good old days, right down to drying. Only there are no glossers now, and the reflective properties of surfaces are implemented in the materials themselves - these are matte, glossy, embossed paper, as well as paper with a metallized coating (metallic), translucent film (duratrans), etc.

In the second case, the picture is formed with paint. The list of inkjet printing materials is huge: it is not only plain paper, but also canvas, denim, mesh fabrics, transparent and metallic films, vinyl banners, watercolor papers and many other materials, up to exotic ones.

Both printing methods are of great interest to the photographic audience. Each of the technologies has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Usually, when comparing, they consider such parameters as the print format, the range of materials, the cost of the print, its durability, print speed, output speed, color gamut, equipment cost, requirements for space and operating conditions, stability of print parameters, the possibility of replication, subsequent finishing ( varnishing, laminating, knurling), etc. It is difficult to call inkjet printing and photo printing competing technologies. Different options are used for different tasks.

According to expert estimates, the share of chemical photo printing today is 85-90% of the total volume of photo prints appearing on paper. For example, PMA (Photo Marketing Association) in the report for 2005 gives a figure of 90%, and the opinions of participants Russian market, according to research by The Boston Consulting Group, conducted in September 2007, tend to 85-95%. The rest of the prints are mostly from home inkjet printing. In this article, we will talk about the most common printing method - chemical photo printing. Although most of the issues discussed are quite applicable to inkjet and other printing methods.

What are minilabs?

In modern photo labs, most of the photographs are printed on special machines, which are called minilabs. This equipment is focused on printing small and medium formats - as a rule,
from 10 x 15 to 30 x 90 cm inclusive. A feature of minilabs is the optimization of processes for mass photo printing of standard (not arbitrary) formats. Using a special laser or LED head, an image from an RGB graphic file is exposed to photographic paper with a photosensitive emulsion, then the print enters the classic “wet” process. Modern minilabs in conjunction with technologies for working on local network allow you to print 1000-1800 digital prints 10 x 15 per hour or more. When printing from film, a negative or a slide is scanned by a special built-in scanner, then work with the picture is built in the same way as with a regular file. In smaller labs where production shutdown is not too business critical, there is usually one machine. In medium and large laboratories, less than 2-3 high-performance minilabs are rarely installed.

Over the past few years, the market for minilab manufacturers has narrowed to two giants - Noritsu and Fuji.
According to unofficial data, at that time attempts were made to unite the relevant divisions into a single corporation, but the Antimonopoly Committee of Japan did not allow this. As a result, today both companies produce almost the same minilabs, but under different logos. All other minilab manufacturers have ceased operations. Recently, Chinese manufacturers, in particular Sophia, began to appear on the market. Despite the fact that their minilabs are actually copies of Noritsu, the quality of these machines leaves much to be desired, so these machines are used mainly in laboratories without any significant requirements for print quality. Apparently, the share of such machines in the world is still insignificant.

In addition to minilabs, there are printing machines for large formats. The leader of the "large format" in our time is the Italian manufacturer Durst. In general, the printing technologies on these machines are the same as on minilabs. The main differences are in the possible print formats, resolution and color gamut, which tends to be slightly higher for larger machines. If minilabs are focused on standard formats, then large format machines allow you to print arbitrary sizes within the maximum possible.

What is the maximum file size that can be printed?

Before submitting photos for printing, many photographers begin to search the Internet for tables of correspondence between megapixels of the matrix and possible print sizes. Such tables do exist, but it is important to understand that they are conditional. The fact is that the perception of the image directly depends on the viewing conditions and, in particular, on the distance from which we will look at the picture. Remember street billboards on the walls of nine-story buildings: if you come close to them, we will see grain or pixels the size of a horse's head. Moreover, we will not see anything but a few similar spots. But is such an image intended to be closely driven in front of him with his nose? Of course not. Can we really get that close? Hardly. Therefore, before proceeding to compiling a table of sizes, let's wrap it up: it can only help us orient ourselves for viewing conditions at close range. From close, because only in this case we can evaluate the optical resolution of the print. The larger the print format, the more distance we will look at it, therefore, with the growth of the format, the importance of print resolution for eye perception decreases.

Approximate Print Size Chart

* Practice shows that in the case of chemical photo printing, due to the optical properties of the photo paper emulsion, sufficient resolution for quality printing is 200 dpi. Based on this resolution, the table below was calculated. I remind you that the larger the print format, the greater the distance we are at it
we look - accordingly, the optical resolution of the press can be less.

In practice, print resolutions, for example, for street billboards, sometimes reach 20-30 dpi and below. And I have repeatedly printed my photos from an 8-megapixel camera in a format of 76 x 112 cm. If you look at such a picture point-blank, then the pixelation effect will be noticeable. If you look at it in normal conditions(from a distance of twice the diagonal of the image), it is difficult to even suspect that the print resolution is slightly more than 100 dpi.

What is the difference between 10 x 15 and 11 x 15?

Initially, print formats were calculated for the most common frame formats. At the dawn of the film era, most amateur cameras shot on type 135 film in a 24 x 36mm frame format. The aspect ratio of such a frame is 2:3 - it was for it that print formats of 10 x 15, 20 x 30, 30 x 45, etc. were created.

With the advent digital cameras manufacturers began to focus on the format of computer monitors, which in most cases is close to the aspect ratio of 3:4. To date, both types of cameras are common: * with an aspect ratio of the frame 2: 3 (usually small format reflex cameras);
* with a frame aspect ratio of 3:4 (as a rule, small-format amateur cameras).

If you print a 3:4 frame in 10 x 15 format, then a significant part of the image will either remain outside the print area, or wide white areas will form in the picture (depending on the print mode). To eliminate this misunderstanding, photo labs began to actively offer customers new format prints - 11 x 15, whose aspect ratio is close to 3:4. Today it has already become standard - photo albums, frames, envelopes, boxes, various accessories are made for it.

If you print photos without cropping, then in order to select the most optimal print formats, you need to find out (calculate) the aspect ratio of the frame in your camera.

The following are some common print sizes in relation to aspect ratios:

Frame bleed or whole - how to set the print mode?

Since in general view Since any file has arbitrary sizes (arbitrary aspect ratios), then when printing it in any standard format, the question always arises of how to crop. Mathematically, there are only three options for placing an image on the final print. IN software minilabs, the corresponding print modes are indicated as follows: * overall (whole frame);
* cut (frame bleed); * real size (real size).
