Modern machines have excellent software and technology that has improved the maintenance of ink blockages of these heads but good practice requires head cleans from time to time. The more a printer works the better these photo printers nozzles remain unblocked. So if you are going to enjoy printing lots of photos, this can be a nice option. But don\u2019t forget your ink heads maintenance!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"4\"><\/h2>\n<h2 aria-level=\"4\">Printer size<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The most popular photo printers are A3. If you go bigger, you do need a large format printer.\u00a0 So if you are printing wall art that is bigger than A3 you need to spend allot more and extra space in your home,<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/products\/photographic-frames\/contemporary-black-frame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Framed photo prints<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To frame a photo well it is imperative that the photo is mounted on a backing board so that the print remains perfectly flat and will not change shape in changing climates. If you crop your print to a custom size, you should cut your frame and matt board to the aspect ratio, but be aware that extra tools are required for this.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/products\/mounted-prints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mounted photo prints<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mounting photo prints requires a stable backing board that should ideally have its own laminating adhesive, otherwise you can use double-sided tape. At Printwild, we use a roller laminator for prints to make sure we do not get any of those nasty bubbles between the print and its backing board. When laminating it is important to ensure the print is completely dust free. If you get this wrong, you will end up spending more time and money re-printing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"4\">Media Profiling<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All media has its own porosity, tint and texture meaning that you must use the correct profile for that paper. Most good paper manufactures will have these paper profiles available on their website. My favourite method is to load the paper profile and then run a bunch of test prints like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{\"335552541\":0,\"335559684\":-1,\"335559685\":720,\"335559991\":360,\"469769242\":[65533,0],\"469777803\":\"left\",\"469777804\":\"%1.\",\"469777815\":\"hybridMultilevel\"}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Match your monitor to the print after the first print.
