Why do my photos look different when printed?
The fundamental difference between a screen and a sheet of paper is that one emits light while the other reflects ambient light.nnAs a result, photos viewed on a screen appear to be brighter and more vibrant, while printed images can seem darker and duller.nnIf your printer is low resolution this can also result in images that appear duller than they do on a monitor, since the monitor's resolution will offer more detail.
