Some of us get tired of pretending to always have the right politics. We would much prefer to be genuine - who we really are.
I remember the fast trackers telling me how I should play golf so taht...
True. There is no way I can seperate the spiritual, evolution, and my world view from my work. In the Lounge, or elsewhere on the board.
I am not complaining. In the end, who cares, right? LF is...

Thanks for sharing your experience folks!
That type of customer service should be rewarded. Your sharing will help us all make good decisions and compare on more than just price! :)
Getting late in the year for some parts of Alaska. Don't get stuck somewhere.
I thought we all had to be rich and famous photographers to post here? :confused:
Looks like typical Craigslist fare. Much better than many in fact.
The problem is whether they have enough...
Geez you scared me - I thought it said "Upcoming snow in Michigan." :D I was hoping it was an old thread from January.
Congratulations on the show! Too bad no-one in the state has a job...
Which brings up a question for the OP: Are you printing in color or B&W?
Ron assumed B&W here.
Overall, have a look at Eric Chan's web site on the 3800. Great advice om papers, some profiles,...

The Hahnemuhle in rolls is not bad price-wise.
The Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta is $123 for a 24"x39' roll at Calumet. The Illford Gold Fibre Silk is $110 for a 24"x40' roll. Very small difference...
Thank you for the info!
Printing on the Epson Premium Semi-Gloss, I tried one 2nd pass GLOP coat after waiting overnight, and one within an hour. The overnight coat seemed to reduce contrast and...
Thanks again Tyler for sharing those prints with us all! That in itself must have been quite a bit of work. :)
I am just now starting to use GLOP myself. I am printing with Hahnemuhle Fine Art...
I agree, the Mobil are wonderful units!
I have already changed my modelling light to 100w using the existing Mobil. You can use 1 head at 100w, or 2 heads at 50w. So I upgraged my heads to 100 w...
I just mixed up a 4K + GLOP glossy ink set over the weekend for my Epson 7600, mostly to play with.
I used some Epson Ultrachrome K2 Photo Black ink that I had around. I made 4 dilutions and set...
I don't know anything about it, but Epson has the V500 Photo refurb on sale at $150. Sounds like a good price:

Find Eric Chan's web site. He has a lot of info, profiles, etc.
You should (usually) get just an inch of snow here or there up to Thanksgiving in the LaCrosse area. There are exceptions of course.
Fall colors should peak by first or second week in October....
The Claria inks are the best dye inks you will find, no question. For best longevity you are better off with the Epson OEM inks. Don't trust anyone elses numbers!! :D
That said, I have been using...
Tell her you are just warming up for the Tour De France and the Olympics. :)
We don't get much on our basic cable. Are the shows available online anywhere? maybe on DVD later?
Thanks!

Along with "soft proofing" to verify your output before you print.
Is your monitor calibrated with a hardware calibrator? It really is a **must**.
Search for Andrew Rodnet's website for a good...
I have a Palm M125 that only has a few months of use if you are interested. I tried it a few times for a month or so, then went back to paper for to-do type stuff. I also have a nice leather...
Ironically enough, one of the core rebellions inherent in conceptual art was a protest *against* the fine art marketplace. What was/is there valuable to own or possess about a "concept?" That...
Thank you jnanian!
I am reminded of a young woman at a Buddhist meditation session complaining about how her Catholic parents were hypocrits.
I responded that, although we had just chanted a...
Mark,
That is a bit of a "strawman" argument - setting up your opponents argument for an easy fall, via a weak and somewhat skewed presentation. (I know you are only trying to help though. I...
Thank you Kirk for taking on this responsibility.

Here a couple of sets from Claumet. $129 on the first fixture.

Thanks Jim, interesting. That should be something that they know - it is pretty imnportant. It would be nice to see a graph, but that sounds unlikely. They would already have it on their web site I...

Exactly!

You should try to find a "CRI" rating for them.
Somre bulbs have gaps in their spectrum, so that it will never be enough to just color balance for them. They just won't be emitting certain...
Maybe after the next elections? We should see the rules relaxed, even with McCain (I hope.)
I was seriously planning to go with Maine Photographics Workshop - or on my own - before Bush came in....
I have come to regret shooting on B&W film in the past. I **love** the control that Lightroom gives me in mixing color channlels from my scanned color images.
It gives me much more control than...
Agree with Kirk.
The traditional view from production photogs that have high volume is that slides are best, because you can get an exact match to a reference image (the slide.)
For those of us...

Short answer:
First, go read (or re-read) "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." Just don't follow the argument quite as far as he did. :D
Then, go sit meditation for 1 year (20...
I have been using Astia and Portra 160NC for 10 years, since I started scanning and doing digital output.
You can always add saturation and contrast at the scan stage. But if you have too much...
Bert, I apologize for the long delay! I am on vacation in Orlando with my 9 year old son. Sea World today. :D
Which other printers use the same carts as the 5500? I see that MIS has...
If you look at the price of Cone's inks, Lyson Cave Paint, etc. in the 220ml carts, they are almost as much as Epsons. Like $79 versus $82 for Epson.
The savings comes through buying in bulk.

Midwest Photo Exchange is just slightly more than Atlex, but they have free shipping on Epson orders over $75. Great shop too!
