For most the traditional film photography was one tedious process. First
waiting for the entire roll to be completed, which would sometimes take
months and then spending on developing the entire roll, with the
probability that the photograph one really wants could have been damaged
in the lab or for other reasons. So, for most people it was fingers
crossed situation when giving their rolls for development.
This entire problem has been done away with the digital photographs.
Firstly, for printing digital photographs, one need not wait to reach
the end of the memory card. In fact, as soon as it is clicked the image
can be downloaded on a computer, edited and printed on any of the color
printers, though a digital printer is preferred. These pictures can be
printed at home, or then at a photo-studio.
Many prefer to print their own photographs, however, it is not such a
cost effective idea, as printing images on photographic paper consumes a
lot of ink and considering the cost of every cartridge, it could be
rather expensive. Yes, one odd image here and there can do no harm,
otherwise a standard postcard size photograph can be printed for Rs. 8
to Rs. 12 at studio, whereas could cost up to Rs. 50 to Rs. 90 at home,
depending on the ink consumption and the paper quality.
One can print digital photographs using the three color, plus black
printers. However, for the best of results one should ideally select the
six-color, plus black printer. Also the paper one needs is coated
photographic paper, which prevent feathering of the print. One needs to
also wait patiently while the print process is on, as it is not the same
as printing any word document. It takes time for the printer to record
the image and then provide the final print.
This entire process is better managed at a photo studio, as they have
top-of-the-rank printing machines that work faster. Because they deal in
bulk where paper and ink is concerned, the costs incurred is less than
that of the at-home-printers and so they can price each print at as low
as Rs. 8 (postcard size).
