Fine Inkjet Printing with Amadou Diallo October 17, 2009

You know your way around Photoshop and Lightroom, but are you producing prints that faithfully communicate your vision? In this hands-on workshop, advanced students experience the benefits of high quality print workflows for both black and white and color images. Using Epson 3800 printers you will have the opportunity to print on high-quality photographic papers.

This is a chance to experiment beyond the standard matte and glossy options shown in the print driver, and see how to create custom printer profiles. For the highest quality black and white prints, we'll explore the use of QuadTone RIP as a replacement for the Epson driver. Learn how to evaluate an image with regard to both output size and the paper on which it will be printed. Explore how paper choice affects saturation, sharpness, dimensionality, and tonal range. Discover how to soft proof an image and make specific adjustments for a given paper.

At the end of the workshop you will have a practical understanding of the media choices available for digital printing along with a methodology for getting professional results on the media best suited to your work.
