Print info
I make my prints using the digital process using high quality paper, such as Epson Archival Matte or Ilford's Galerie Smooth Pearl.
For the digital capture I use one of two methods, either scanning an original transparency or using high end digital cameras such as the Nikon D200.
The image is then output to the computer. The computer has a highly calibrated monitor and profiled to ensure that colours are accurate. The scanner and printer are also calibrated and any adjustments to the image that are necessary are carried out using Adobe Photoshop. When I say 'adjustments' I don't mean adding elements to the image that weren't there in the first place or drastically altering colours. I mean removing dust specks and making sure the original is faithfully represented and will be sharp when printed.
When I am happy with the image on the screen, I output the file to the Epson 2400 printer using the UltraChrome ink system which, together with the above mentioned papers, that each have their own profile gives a wonderful print.
