New Epson Complete Guide to Digital Printing (A Lark Photography Book) (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Epson is the company at the cutting edge of quality digital photo printing, and their superb equipment makes it possible for everyone to print sparkling photographs at home. With the help of Rob Sheppard, editor of Outdoor Photographer and PCPhoto magazines, amateurs can enter Epson’s brave new world with all the latest information.  This latest edition of the Epson guide reflects the increasing sophistication of ink jet printing, with its faster speed and better tonal and color reproduction. It helps today’s photographers select a model that has the right features, choose from the new options of quality papers and inks, and succeed in creating excellent prints—and have fun while doing it.  Sheppard passes on valuable knowledge on developing a consistent workflow, sizing and sharpening images properly, making black-and-white and panoramic prints, and much more. To complete the picture: the guide includes gallery sections from well-known photographers who are all Epson spokespeople and users.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars very nice, but..., September 10, 2008 By  David Wilson (Northville, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This is a beautiful book, very nicely done. But, having already read quite a bit about color management and inkjet printing, I was hoping for more specific technical details. The author makes many statements which I'm sure are true (I do believe he knows what he's talking about), but aren't illustrated with examples. For example, he says 200 to 360 ppi is the ideal range when sizing an image for printing, and that going over 360 can actually be detrimental. Ok -- how about an example to show exactly what the effect would be? Yes, I can spend the time (and cost) to run my own tests to see, but the book should have done that for me. 22 of 26 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars OK for beginners, July 31, 2008 By  Gerardo Jose Beretta Buckley (Mexico,DF) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Amazon Verified Purchase If you are looking for the intricacies of the different Epson Printers and their output, like I was, this is not the book.

If you are looking for the intricacies of the different Epson Printers and their output, like I was, this is not the book. For Beginners in Ink jet printers it is good.
