    • To print a quilt's original photographic image, you have many choices. Some of these choices are:

      • You can print the image on your home printer.
      • You may print the image by taking this CD to a professional print shop.
      • You may use a Kodak kiosk and following the instructions, select the file you want to print.
      • Be sure you read Tari's documentation before you print.

    • To determine the file to print, you must know the entry number of the original quilt image and the folder in which the original photo image file resides. This information is given at the bottom of the quilt info page for each quilt under the section entitled “Original Photos for Printing”.

    • To see an example of how to find the file names click here and scroll to the bottom of the page. Many photos were taken of the Best of Show quilt and you will see links to the photos at the bottom of the page in the section entitled "Original Photos for Printing". The original images can be found in the “originalphotos” folder on the CD.

    • If you are going to print on your home computer, select the file name from the originalphotos folder, and print the way you normally do on your printer.

    • If you are going to print at a photo processing store like Walgreens, Kinkos, etc., write down the name of the files you want to print so you can either tell the photo processor or select the files using the Kodak kiosk.

    • Remember to take the CD with you when you go to the store!
