One of the great things about digital photography versus film photography is that you only have to make prints of the photos that look great. Printing your best photos at home is easy and cost-effective, as long as you have the right printer and techniques. Here are some tips to help you get the best results.

For high-quality digital photo prints at home, it may be best to use specialty photo paper.

Glossy or matte photo paper works much better than standard printing paper. However, because specialty photo paper can be expensive, you want to make sure you only print your best photos on it.

Another important aspect to consider when printing photos at home is to make sure that the image you want to print has the same aspect ratio (the ratio of the width to the height of the image) as the paper you are printing the image on.
