sorry guys lemme me drift alittle,
so someone was going some of my photos some days ago and he asked me to print one of my shoots for him, told its not a problem but will get it next year.
The problem is that I know little about printing . I need to know somethings about printing like EVERYTHING

I shouldn't be asking but who's asking for your prints? A client or someone who's just interested in your pictures. I'm asking just for work protection. If it's a friend then it's Ok. If there's need for a print i'll explain all you need to know later. It's unusual to be asked for prints except if it's from clients. Just concerned as a friend

Just concerned This article explains it better than i can put into writing.

First, use a program like Adobe Photoshop or the properties menu of the image file to find the exact dimensions of the image. Afterward, multiply the height by the width, then divide the result by 1 million – because 1 megapixel equals 1 million pixels. For example, an image measuring 4,608 x 3,456 equals 15,925,248 (in pixels), which equates to roughly 16 megapixels after you divide by 1 million.
When figuring out print size, simply divide the width and height dimensions (individually) by 300. Why 300? That’s the number of pixels per inch (ppi) – also a type of resolution – suitable for high-quality printing. Referring back to the last example, a 4,608 x 3,456 (4608/300 and 3456/300) image would yield a 15 x 11 inch print. That said, you wouldn’t even think of printing a 640 x 480-pixel image larger than 2 x 1 inches.
Depending on the software, you may notice ppi referred to as dots per inch, or “dpi.” Despite being technically different, you’ll often see the terms used interchangeably. It’s a confusing topic, sure, but you should have little trouble if you remember to keep the dpi or ppi set to 300. We also recommend increasing the resolution using the photo-editing software of your choice if an image is set to 72 dpi, while making sure to deselect the “resample image” box if you do. If your software doesn’t offer such fine-tuning – some offer “best” or “normal” as options – simply recall the aforementioned math to calculate just how large an image should be.
If you are willing to sacrifice quality in order to gain a larger print size, there is the option of slightly cheating and lowering the resolution. However, we do recommend you check the final print quality to assure it’s up to your liking. Simply put, quality will suffer if you lower the resolution and increase the print size.

Got one strawberry for taste sampling today and two spare ones in case the first one wasn't as delicious as the strawberry farm owner boasted. They all tasted deliciously sweet

thanks bro, about the dimension thing, what about some of the pictures which was resized during some editing process?

and any specific paper type for printing

Same procedure applies. But I'll advice you get the original or source file then do the editing or cropping on it and then follow the same printing process explained.

They look delicious

When next you have strawberries, try placing them in a white bowl and take another photo. I'd love to see what it'll look like.

Matte or Glossy? Anyone would be fine.. Depending on the type of look you want. For durability you can go for Matte but if you want that rich colour and tone then it's glossy and can be expensive to maintain. But I'll pick Glossy tho with a thick paper. It'll be much better to go anywhere they print so you can see for yourself.

Hi guys, y'all are doing a beautiful job here. You inspire me, especially victoriousvic. Keep it up.
So I was on the rooftop the other day and I thought, why not take a picture and see if you can do what vic and all those talented artists on that thread do, and tadaa!!
I know it's not all that, but still I tried my hands on it. And this picture was taken with my phone.

Cool shot and erm. . .welcome!
