Learning to print This book has been very helpful as I learn to print digital images. Author does not skip details. I have researched many books to learn more about the printing process. This one is the best for my needs. Bill Brennan
Best guide so far Many photographers use their digital cameras as all inclusive gatherers of visual information, then spend hours with a computer photographic tool to "fix" their photographs. This guide book takes the stance of the photographer getting the best composed and exposed photograph with the camera, then needing only slight enhancement with the computer program, the result is a better photograph with less time wasted. The guide concentrates on getting the best possible finished product: the photographic print!
very nice, but... This is a beautiful book, very nicely done. But, having already read quite a bit about color management and inkjet printing, I was hoping for more specific technical details. The author makes many statements which I'm sure are true (I do believe he knows what he's talking about), but aren't illustrated with examples. For example, he says 200 to 360 ppi is the ideal range when sizing an image for printing, and that going over 360 can actually be detrimental. Ok -- how about an example to show exactly what the effect would be? Yes, I can spend the time (and cost) to run my own tests to see, but the book should have done that for me.
OK for beginners If you are looking for the intricacies of the different Epson Printers and their output, like I was, this is not the book. For Beginners in Ink jet printers it is good.
