Will colour prints reproduce adequately?
There are two key points to remember. Firstly, each stage of any reproduction technique will erode the quality of the image slightly. Secondly, if an image is poor at the outset (for example, if it is blurred or too dark) it will not improve when reproduced. You get out only what you put in. However, you will be amazed at what is possible with computer image enhancement and retouching. Seek advice from a graphic designer or your chosen printer. Different printing processes produce different quality results, so make sure that you tell the printer what your requirements are. Check the proofs to ensure that they meet your expectations. Prints should be larger than the space they will take up on the page, so that they can be reduced to fit. Enlarging a small picture to fill a large space inevitably causes the quality to deteriorate.
