Digital BW, The Print

Welcome Elizabeth!

Here are a few brief tips (based on personal experience/opinion):

1.  Visit luminous-landscape.com website and read reviews of using Canon D30 vs. film.  That website also contains a wealth of information about digital print making.  

2.  I recommend the Canon D30 and use it.  Visit the dpreview.com website for the Canon SLR forum to read other users' opinions too and suggestions for lenses etc..  That website also has forums for other digital cameras including the Fuji so check that too. 

3.  Turn your 1160 into a PiezoBW machine.  The easy to use software and paper profiles will save you much time in the long run...and we all know time is money.

4.  Contribute some prints in the next Print Exchange and you will be hooked when you see what you get in return. 

Good luck and clean nozzles.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Just when I thought I had it figured out.


  I'm new to this group...

  Brief Introduction... I've owned an Art Gallery / Framing Studio in
  Ontario for the past 10 years.  I've always been techno minded so over
  the past 2 years I've been learning the digital market.  (I still wish I
  had more time to paint though)  I currently tell people that digital is
  merely my current form of expression.  4 months ago I bought both an
  1160 and 1200 and yes finding them was difficult but I succeeded on
  Ebay.  The 1200 running fantastic on Generations Enhanced ink and CIS.
  The 1160 still has the packing tape on it :-(  I've put of buying the
  Piezo because of cost (keeping in mind it feels like I almost have to
  double the price because of the exchange difference)  I've become very
  interested in the MIS V quad tone so I came here to research...

  So far the only thing I've learned is that...  To much information can
  be a bad thing, and I'm no closer to figuring out what to do with this
  poor printer than I was 3 months ago...

  I truly do appreciate all of the information though.  My goal is to have
  an exhibit of B&W prints, deckle edged and gallery framed with a float
  mount by the end of the next summer.

  Does anyone have any recommendations on a Digital SLR camera, I'm
  looking towards the Fuji S1 Pro?

  Thanks
  Elizabeth
