Note
The quality of the prints can vary between printers. You can usually achieve the best print quality by
using good quality ink, for example using the printer manufacturer's own ink. The type of paper used
has a significant effect on the way the ink is applied. Using paper that does not match the paper type
selected can often result in a very poor quality print. You should always use the paper that matches the
selected paper type, for example, photo or glossy paper.
How to print a set of images
You can print, adjust and change the layout of the images that have been dragged on to the Print Bar.
