<< Hello all.

I moved into the digital darkroom a few months ago and I've learned a 
lot from this and related lists. I now have  a question and hope that 
somebody may advise me. Is there special ways to "proofread" a 
picture without printing it on expensive papers. Is there okay to 
print it on cheaper paper and if so what are the things one should 
keep in mind. I usually make print on EAM papers with a 1290 printer.

Thanks,

Hi Jean:

I'd recommend that you print sections of your image on the paper you plan to 
use for the best final output.  You'll not only save paper, but ink and time 
as well.

If you use Photoshop, you can select an area of your picture with the square 
marquee and then in the driver, check Print Selected Area.  The area you 
selected will now print in the center of the sheet (or change the paper size 
to 4"x4" and it will print in the bottom right hand corner as it comes out of 
the printer.  Print Options offers further control.

I have a lengthy tutorial on this in the first installment of my monthly 
newsletter called "Inkjet Tip of the Month Club".  I started another 
newsletter months ago for my consulting clients and past students, but after 
some requests by others to join, I decided to have a separate one open to 
anyone.  

A new issue will come monthly with information on color and b/w inkjet 
trends, tips, tutorials, great books/magazines and special offers from 
various merchants.  The newsletter also helps me to keep in touch with a 
cross-section of friends in many of the arts.  

If you or any other subscriber would like to join, please send e-mail to:

Inkjettips-subscribe@yahoogroups.com      

 -Just to clarify, this is a newsletter, not an open forum, and I encourage 
any information from the newsletter to be discussed here on Digital BW or 
other newsgroups if you feel that it is appropriate.  I also hope people will 
quote sections from my newsletters and share them with other newsgroups if 
they think it will benefit their members.  If so, please just indicate from 
where the information originated. 

All the best!
