Tools for Graphics Pros
The essentials for pro-quality output are resolution, colour fidelity, and print durabilityââ,¬"and many inexpensive printers qualify. High-quality paper is essential to good photo output, with coated glossy or semi-gloss producing the best resolution. Photo pros may opt for dye-sublimation printers, though dye subs typically max out at 300-dpi resolution and cost more than inkjets. Best all-around are high-end inkjets, which range from under AU$600 to AU$2000.
The HP PhotoSmart P1000 Photo Printer delivers 2,400x1,200-dpi enhanced resolution, fast print speeds, 8MB of RAM, and the ability to print envelopes, labels, card stock, and transparencies. The 1,440x720-dpi Epson Stylus Photo 2000P offers archival-grade inks. The Epson Stylus Photo 1270, similar to the 870, prints sheets up to 33x111.8cm.
