Re: Epson Print Academy -- Difp remarks

John - What struck me about DIFP (www.difp.com) was the speakers were clearly acknowledged leaders in their fields (Color Managment, Photoshop image procesing and output to Epson printers -- 2200, 7600 & 9600) who were concise and opiniated in their thoughts on their respective topics. Though the event was sponsored, they weren't afraid to take a shot at a feature of a sponsored product that they felt could better solved by a third party source -- e.g. Epson Drivers v. Image Print RIP's - and yes, Mr. Rodney was indeed present. I've been following this and WAY too many forums and lists for the last year, and needless to say the disparity and variety of opinion and information is endless. I've been sorting thru all this, attempting to find methods that work for me. What the speakers -- Andrew Rodney, Jeff Schewe, and J.P. Camponigro -- did was to present information and techniques, show how and why they worked and why that method was superior to other alternatives. Clear and concise. And yes, the Epson prints that Greg Gorman showed were beautiful and "Dead nuts neutral" to coin his phrase. I left feeling not quite as stupid as did I walked in.
