We're so used to capturing photos on our phones, but how often do we really scroll back to look at all of the memories in our camera roll? Printing photos — whether it's a canvas print, a small polaroid, or a photo book full of memories — is an amazing way to cherish these moments. Plus, printed photos make touching gifts for family and friends.
When it comes to printing photos at home, achieving high-quality prints seems impossible, but is it really? Here are three easy ways to get started.
1. Mini Printers
If you're wondering how to print photos from your phone, a mini photo printer is a fun, fuss-free entry point. Mini printers for phones and other devices can be used to print out all of your favourite images — whether artistic shots taken on your DSLR or happy snaps from your smartphone. As they are often Bluetooth compatible and compact, these mini photo printers can go wherever you go.
Not only are mini portable printers super convenient, they start at affordable prices too, like the budget-friendly Fujifilm Instax Mini Link Printer. Plus, if you love a print so much that you want copies to hand out to friends and family, you can print them immediately.
For a mini printer with more features, take a look at the Polaroid Lab Mobile Instant Printer — another great option for printing your own photos at home.
2. Ted's Online Printing Service
Whether you prefer heading to your local Ted's Camera store or using the online service from the comfort of your own home, our excellent and reasonably-priced printing service has you covered.
You can create anything that takes your fancy — from prints and enlargements to poster prints, canvas prints, and photo books. Photo books are a great way to add text to your images, such as descriptions detailing the time and place each shot was captured.
If you want to add a touch of personality to your living space, our large-format prints such as posters and canvas prints are the perfect solution. Canvas prints come stretched and ready to hang. Don't forget to browse our photo frames and photo albums to find the best display option for you.
3. Inkjet Printers
If your budget allows and you have some desk space, consider upping your photographic game with a high-end inkjet printer. Modern photographic printers produce incredible quality prints, featuring different ink configurations to achieve stunning deep blacks and vivid colours. Some printers are capable of A4-sized prints, covering all of your favourite classic print sizes.
With the wide range of printing papers available, a home printer lets you experiment with different tonal varieties and textures to create a photo book that's truly one-of-a-kind.
Top Tips for Printing Your Photos at Home
- Calibrate your monitor and printer to ensure accurate colours in your prints.
- Choose the right paper — it makes a significant difference to print quality. Select the inkjet paper best suited to your needs.
- Before printing, edit your photos to remove imperfections and make them look their best.
