Hey everyone. I dropped aCD last night at Wal-Mart to have some prints made. 2 5x7's and 2 8x10's. I must say that they are even clearer on the prints than they were on my computer screen. These are the first matte prints that I have gotten made from digital and I am so much more happy with the matte finish than I have been with any of the prints I have gotten back with a gloss finish.
So, here is the question: How does the Fuji machines that walmart uses to priduce these prints from digital files work? Does the machine some how convert the digital file and project it onto photo sensitive paper? Just curious? I really like these prints better than any I have ever gotten back on Kodak paper. These look more like prints from a film camera than any other prints I have ever gooten back from digital files.
Thanks peoples!

Basically, I think a laser scans the paper through a series of RGB filters, duration and/or intensity of exposure at each point dependent on the color value of the pixel from which it's derived. You need enough pixels in your original file to make sure the laser spots are small enough to be imperceptible.
The paper is ordinary photo paper reacting to varying amounts of colored light.
Photos imaged to Kodak paper (like at Ofoto) are imaged with the same or similar equitment.
I like the matte finish too. It's also available at Ritz/Wolf Camera. |
