I have just been reading through the book "Secrets of Digital Quilting
- from Camera to Quilt" by Lura Schwarz Smith & Kerby C.
Smith......lots of interesting and logical thoughts expressed by the
authors - perhaps the most important one to consider is to organize
camera setting with computer and printer settings for the best
results. ppi (pixels per inch) should match dpi (dots per inch) for
best coverage. If scanning a photo - scan to the desired finished
size so that the pixels are filled in before being sent to the
printer. Save photos as TIFFs not jpegs for best fabric photo
printing - do not alter an original photo file but make copies to play
with.
Another useful chart in the book is a comparison of various methods
both after printing and again after washing....with photos.

The authors use both Epson and Hp printers which use pigment based
inks rather than dye based ones. jennellh
