There’s definitely something about holding a physical print! Thanks for this informative video … I’m just starting out with inkjet and recently printed my first B&W landscape. Very satisfying to view that image on matte paper! 📷☕️🇨🇦🙂

Fantastic!! There’s nothing quite like holding a print

If coet were no issue, I would always go for Platinum Palladium prints, and they are also the most archival. But the cost is prohibitive for me. They can also be made using a technique called Digital Negative, if using a digital camera. I simulate it and then print it using my Epson 3380. They do look very similar to tradtional PP prints but the tones are a little less deep and the print may not last as long as PP, but they do. exceed human life time if not exposed to direct sunlight.

Sounds awesome!!!

[@frankiacone6642]

Paul what setting do you use on the Q2 M. I have one and your pictures are amazing.

[@paulreidphotography]

Oh man I use various settings depending on subject.

I’ve often wondered how other q2m owners edit their images 👍🏻
Love a good print it’s the ultimate end of the process imo

[@paulreidphotography]

It certainly is!!!

This was a great video I love all things to do with printing. My personal experience is with c type and giclee but how do you do a traditional silver print from a digital file? I had no idea that was possible and I would love to learn more.

[@paulreidphotography]

Thanks so much. It’s done by a machine. Not all printers have them

[@larryboothby3687]

I've printed a few of my Q2M images with the Giclee Fine Art process. I would love to have some platinum palladium prints, but the cost! Hundreds of dollars US.

[@paulreidphotography]

It’s not cheap at all! Beautiful but expensive

[@tonyhayes9827]

Do you do your own printing?

[@paulreidphotography]

Some of it! The rest RJ Printlab does for me
