Digital Printing Start-Up Guide

by Harald Johnson

Springing directly from the digital photography revolution, "Digital Printing Start-Up Guide" walks beginner and intermediate readers through the process of digitally printing and sharing their photographs. Differing from other books, this is the first on-the-shelves book to cover this subject from a non-branded perspective. By introducing the basics of image creation, editing, and printing; explaining the advantages and disadvantages of inkjet and other digital printing technologies; and showing readers how to make better digital prints, this practical guide offers advice on improving the digital imaging and photo-printing process. The ability to share and print photographs digitally with high quality is considered one of the most important consumer trends in the world today. The huge success of its parent book, "Mastering Digital Printing", is an example of digital photography's growing popularity. Varying from its parent book, this new book concentrates on photo printing as opposed to fine-art printing. With plenty of sidebars, charts, diagrams, and photos illustrating the book's contents, this guide can be used as a standalone and also as the perfect companion for "Mastering Digital Printing".

About the author

Harald Johnson is an author of both fiction and nonfiction, a publisher, and a lifelong swimmer—who actually swam nonstop around New York’s Manhattan island. His debut novel (NEW YORK 1609, 2018) was the first-ever to explore the birth of New York City (and Manhattan) from its earliest beginnings. He followed that with the three books of the NEANDER time-travel trilogy (2019, 2020, 2021), and then the modern suspense thriller EL NORTE (2022). THE TWILIGHTS is his sixth novel (and twelfth book).

Harald lives with his wife deep in the woods of central Virginia.
