Let’s take it step by step
- Open the full home-printing guide and check that your purchased file suits the physical size you want.
- Choose paper that works with your printer, then follow the printer’s paper-loading and quality instructions.
- Open the purchased image in a suitable printing application. Keep the original proportions and choose a complete-image fit rather than an automatic crop.
- Check paper size, orientation, scale, border and the visible signature in the preview.
- Make one proof first, let it dry as the ink and paper maker advise, then judge it in useful light before committing to a larger print.
What to expect
You have a small proof to assess before using more paper and ink.
A few things to know
- The detailed Mac, Windows, colour and troubleshooting instructions are in the home-printing guide; printer controls vary by model.
- A bright screen and printed paper will not look identical. Changing a resolution label alone does not create image detail.
