A new member, with a shopping list

2004-11-08 by Pieris Berreitter

I'm jumping into digital darkroom after many months of browsing this 
and other forums. I hope to participate in the print exchanges but 
first, I need to make sure I've got everything I need. Much of what 
I've compiled here has been recommended by this forum. Is there 
anything an experienced digital printer would add to this list? I 
don't believe I need a colorimeter for profiling the printer as I 
hope I can trust other peoples curves.

- Epson Enhanced Matte paper for experimenting
- Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl for portfolio
(other papers will follow once I gain experience with these)
- Epson 1280 printer
- MIS UT2 inks
- Lascaux Fixative spray
- Colorvision Spyder with Photocal
- Solux 4700K lamp for proofing (I'll be working at night)
- Photoshop CS
- Logan 450 Mat Cutter, mats, and tape
- flat print boxes for storage
- Big tupperware box to cover printer when not in use (I will throw a 
wet sponge in here as well to keep the heads happy)

Do I need anything else? A head cleaning cartridge?

Regards,
-Pieris
