Third, active oil - photo printing paper

Active oil characteristics: dedicated to Shujin, falling. One of the characteristics of this oil is "specialty". It is highly targeted and cannot be abused at ordinary times, but it is an indispensable medicinal oil in the home.

Photo printing paper is the same as active oil - "special", special paper, if you use photo paper to print documents, it is not impossible, but the cost is too high, the overall effect looks really awkward. This is similar to active oil and can only be used for Shujinhuoluo. It can't be used to cure mosquito bites, and good active oil is expensive. It can be used for overkill for general symptoms. Photo printing paper is much thicker than ink-jet printing paper, and the surface has undergone special treatment, which can greatly improve the expression of color, can prevent ink penetration at extremely high print resolution, and thus effectively avoid the Paper failed due to the cause of the paper.

Some unscrupulous merchants resort to high profits and unscrupulous measures to reduce the production cost, so that the quality of photo printing paper is mixed and the consumers are allowed to interact. I can't understand my head. Here are some users who need to watch out for:

1, the category should be clear, choose to refresh

Good horses are equipped with good saddles, and of course, photo printing papers must be used for printing. However, not all photo printing papers have the same printing effect. According to the difference of the coating layer and the paper media, the photo printing paper is divided into ordinary photo printing paper, glossy photo printing paper, glossy photo printing paper and thick photo printing paper. Its quality and weight relations are progressive from front to back.

1 The weight of ordinary photo printing paper is usually 170 grams. Because of the thinness of this type of paper, the printed picture may appear to be “through the paper”, and fading occurs over time.

2 Glossy photo printing paper, compared with glossy photo paper, glossy photo printing paper is more finely detailed, and the surface has a strong gloss. However, it is not as thick as glossy photo printing paper, so its price is relatively low. Printing some of the more demanding art photos and some materials with a lot of text is more cost-effective.

3 glossy photo printing paper, glossy photo paper is the biggest feature is the printed photo surface has a layer of gloss, and the texture of the traditional photo, as well as a good moisture effect, suitable for printing some high-quality photos, album covers and report covers , is the preferred paper for printing photos. Glossy photo print paper weighs 256 grams at this level.

4 thick photo printing paper, high-resolution paper coating is slightly thicker than ordinary ink-jet printing paper, the surface is more flat, so the printing effect is also better, can make the output almost the traditional photo quality, when you need It is an excellent choice when using high-quality color output to create eye-catching images.

2. Simple Way to Identify Bad Photo Paper

1 Visually inspect the surface for scratches, punctures, or dark spots. If the above situation appears, it proves that the photo paper is not qualified. Because the coating workshops used by high-quality manufacturers are all dust-free workshops, under normal circumstances, the surface of the coating will not appear scratches and black spots and other issues.

2 look smooth and flat surface. A good photo paper feels smooth on the surface. There is a plastic texture, and the poor photo paper is dry.

3 Look at the whiteness of the paper. There are two kinds of white in the identification of paper whiteness. One is white (red) and the other is fluorescent white (blue). Research by foreign experts shows that Languang has a considerable damage to human eyes, and the added phosphor also has a carcinogenic effect.

4 Pull the paper out of the bag and lay it flat on the table. After waiting for half an hour, see if the paper is curled up or down. If there is a serious tilt, it proves that the paper is not acceptable. The paper will not feed or jam during printing.

5 To identify the waterproof performance, a little water can be dripped onto the surface of the photographic paper, and after a few minutes, observe whether there is water leakage in front of the paper.

6 Adjust the printer to the appropriate DPI, observe the print quality of the paper, and the quick-drying speed of the ink.

7 Take out the entire pack of paper and see if the trim is neat.

8 Check the website of China Trademark http://sbj.saic.gov.cn/. The brand you use is registered.

Therefore, we must buy according to the special specifications marked on the printer's instructions. Do not understand and fill the hero. After all, this paper was also bought with hard-earned money, and if it didn't play well, it could have been drained.
