TIPS AND TRICKS
Get the most out of
your digital-imaging gear
Have you considered putting vodka in your printer? Or that your scanner might support resolutions
as high as 2,800 dots per inch, but performance might improve at lower resolutions? Or that not using
your camera’s zoom lens might result in a better close-up?
*
We’ve tested printers, scanners, and
digital cameras since they arrived on the scene, and in that time we’ve amassed a wealth of inside
knowledge about how these devices work.
*
To share our expertise with you, we asked our digital-
imaging experts—Sally Wiener Grotta, Les Freed, and Alfred Poor—to compile their top tips
for scanners, cameras, and printers. Some of the suggestions may surprise you. If you’ve ever been
frustrated with your digital-imaging gadgets, take heart: There’s always an answer.—Jeremy A. Kaplan
