- Are you making the best prints possible on your Canon or Epson inkjet printer? Do your prints look like what is on your monitor? Do you really feel like you have control over your printing workflow?
Making beautiful, gallery/exhibition quality inkjet prints isn’t easy or intuitive. If it was everyone would be doing it and doing it well.
This class provides a brief overview of the six steps you need to consider when setting yourself up for success in making perfect inkjet prints.
Topics covered include:
1.Recommendation on choosing the right monitor for editing still images for printing
2. Calibrating your monitor and why it is important
3. Choosing a paper that matches your unique artistic signature
4. How to select the?right printer for your needs
5. The importance of using custom printer/paper profiles
6. Discussion of and recommendations for the quality of lighting conditions when viewing and evaluating your photographs
Eric Joseph is a photographer and Co-President / Chief Products Education, Sales & Support Officer at Freestyle Photographic Supplies. Eric graduated from California State University, Northridge with a B.A. in Art, Specializing in Photography. He began his career at Freestyle Photographic Supplies in 1986, where he worked his way up to his current position. Eric has traveled extensively across the United States performing workshops on fine art inkjet paper, color management and professional digital fine art printmaking. Speaking at colleges, universities, commercial labs, photo clubs, art centers, trade shows, events and professional photographic organizations, Eric teaches digital printmaking with an emphasis on empirical knowledge allowing people to make informed decisions about their digital output and how to obtain consistent, reliable, repeatable and controllable results.
Wish I could be there for that class.
Pay attention to everything my man Eric is saying. When it comes to printing this is the one to listen to.
This is what I been looking for, thanks for sharing. Ps please keep sharing
Invaluable information. Thanks so much!
I’m really enjoying your presentation. I already have the BenQ 271 and have just ordered the Calibrite Color Checker. I’ve been very nervous about entering the print part of the photography process, thank you for making me excited to try it.
Pretty hard to sit through but great information.
The "World of Inkjet Paper Comparison Chart" discussed @ about 1:16:00 in the video is an absolutely fantastic resource for researching paper. I've used it for years. I think it only contains papers that Freestyle sells, but they sell most MAJOR brands found in the US except Red River. The only way it could be improved would be if they gave the price per sheet for one common size across all the papers, say 13x19.
This is amazing! Thank you.
Try the waveform D5000 Absolute Series LED strip. It is advertised as having a CRI of 99, and produces amazing light. It ain't cheap, but it's much less than a GTI viewing station.
When you said that a sports photographer shot JPEG because he couldn't wait for the camera to process raw images, this was a slip of the tongue.
The camera shoots raw images to begin with.
For its JPEG versions it does raw processing (so in camera) and actually applies a profile to that. In my camera's case, there are several profiles I can choose from that the manufacturer defined, but I can create my own profiles, alternatively.
With its processor and firmware that are specialised in image processing, raw processing is done very fast, and so is the data compression that JPEG files got subjected to.
The time saving is not in "not raw processing" but in having to write smaller files (compressed, JPEG) to a memory card that is not as fast as the camera's internals.
Note, in the case of mirrorless cameras with an electronic viewfinder (eVF) that each frame in the eVF is the result of raw processing and data compression because the eVF has a much lower resolution than the actual image - that eVF may run at 60 fps.
with what you previously mentioned about profiles for monitors I have a 24inch iMac with the M1 chip what is the best one for it
The Color Sync Pro software program he mentioned. It is only for use with Apple/Mac computers? Although I soft-proof for printer-paper combos, it would be useful to see those graphs rather than colored highlights over the image when choosing a paper. Rite now if it shows some colors out of gamut, I will print a small test image it looks ok. If not, move on to another paper.
PS. I'm a bad printer. (lazy!) Haven't reprofiled my monitor in a while, but do take a ambient light measurement & profile for that before a print.
Great presentation! Thank you.
Hello Thomas. Colorsync Pro is available for Windows as well. It is not exclusively a Mac program. While it gives great information and I use it for teaching purposes, to analyze and verify the quality of the custom profiles we create for customers, it is more of a technical tool. I would urge you to calibrate your monitor once per month at least. Measuring ambient light in the room doesn't do much for me. I don't really do ambient light measurements on my monitor as the light in my office is very constant and I am interested more in whether or not my monitor is projecting color correctly and at the correct brightness for printing. I don't think adjusting the brightness of my monitor at different times during the day helps me very much. It is more about how the monitor is projecting color at a certain brightness and the consistency and accuracy of the light I am viewing the print under that works for me.

You can scale UI globally if it's too small in 4k, look at settings in control panel of Windows. There are also similar for many Linux distros.

It's 'Pronunciation'. There is no such word as 'Pronounciation'.
Great info presented here, but I find it somewhat odd that you go on a rant about pronouncing Baryta correctly, but then you butcher the name Hahnemühle repeatedly.
Yup. You are totally correct Dimitri. It is hard to get ones tongue wrapped around the oomlats in Hahnemühle. I am trying to be better.
