Printing at home vs store — USA best practices

[Francis Ramirez]

If I create a passport photo online for USA, should I print at home or at a pharmacy photo lab, and what paper, finish, and color settings best preserve sharpness and accurate skin tones on the final 2×2-inch output?

Use photo paper with a matte or glossy finish and high-quality settings, or a lab with true photo printers. Avoid ink streaks and off-white paper. Generate a lab-ready 2×2 USA template at passport-photos.net/
