UNIT 3 Comparing and Evaluation Part 1

Comparing and Evaluation


 This is my original image from my computer screen. This is how it’s supposed to look when being printed out at ProAm and printed.





This is my laser printed version of my album cover. The quality of this print compared to the computer screen is worse, the background of the image specifically because it looks more out of focus than it actually is. The highlights are also represented worse because the light that reflects off this record is much brighter than the original. 


 The shadows are brighter compared to the computer screen. The original image shows different shades of black but in the print it looks like the record blends in with the black background. The paper quality of this image is very weak and not durable at all meaning that you get marks on the image which makes it look worse. Compared to the image on screen this print looks like a completely different image. 


This is the ProAm print of my image. In comparison to the laser print and computer screen this is by far the best version. The sharpness quality of this print is much better than the laser print and is almost identical to the computer screened version. 

The highlights and shadows show much more clearly than the laser print; and also shows the reflection of the light perfectly. Compared to the laser print the paper quality is better because it is more durable although due to its glossy finish can show finger prints easily. In conclusion this is the best print and in comparison to the computer screen it looks the exact same. 



This is my original image from my computer; this is how it’s supposed to look when being printed out at ProAm and when using the laser printer.





This is my laser printed version of my print. The quality of this print compared to my computer screen is at a lower quality, the original image compared to this print is very different because when printed out on A3 the image looks like it has been stretched out.  The highlights of this image are of a decent quality but do not show all of them. With the shadows as well, as you can see on my computer screen the shadows are very visible but when printed out the shadows are darker. The paper quality of this image is terrible because the ink seeps through the paper and is not very durable.  


This is my ProAm print of my original album cover, In comparison to the laser print this is the best print of both. The quality of this paper is far better because it is durable and the quality of the image looks almost identical to my original image on my computer. The highlights of this image are much better than the laser print and the shadows have also improved a lot more on this print.  In conclusion compared to the laser print this ProAm print is much better.
