Printing Picture CD Images

With color printers hitting rock-bottom prices, chances are that you have a printer and are interested in printing your Picture CD photos. After all, with Photoshop, you can improve and add some creativity to your photographs.

So, what's the best size and resolution to print your Picture CD images? Well, the answer depends on what the meaning of “best” is.

If you have a low-quality printer, you can print your Picture CD images at any size. The quality of the images probably exceeds the quality of your printer. On the other hand, if you have a medium- to high-quality printer, you will notice a reduction in the image's quality the larger you print your image. So, it's really your call.
