Re: [Digital BW] Starting out
2003-03-23 by Keith Cooper
Hi I've been doing all digital printing for a year or so now (that¹s when the dark room was turned into a printer/server room) For my B/W printing I use an Epson 1160 with Lyson Small Gamut inks, while colour is a 1290 with Epson Inks. This list certainly is the place to find out more info, although note that there are some very personal views expressed on the pros and cons of different set-ups. It is very much a personal choice where only you can know what you like the best. For getting the images in the first place I either use 35mm film (mostly for B/W) or an Olympus E20 (editorial/product pics) I use a canon FS4000 scanner for the film. Software is mostly Photoshop, and all my computers Macs :-)) Be sure to browse the back issues of this list and its files section. I've also tried to collect links and references to much of this on the site below, in the photolinks and maclinks pages*. bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 *If anyone has suggestions for additions I'm always happy to hear of them...
