Don't miss this book!!!

Don't let the title of this book fool you! There is so much more here than just Inkjet Tips! So much, in fact, that Andrew Darlow should consider a new title when the inevitable second edition comes out!

I came across this book after hearing an interview with Andrew on Scott Shepard 's Inside Digital Photo podcast. When he started to explain what was in the book I really took notice and ordered it immediately. I originally expected the usual collection of tips and tricks to make your inkjet prints better but Andrew's interview had me expecting more.

In the first part of the book Andrew covers everything you need to consider to make top quality, gallery grade, professional prints. And I mean EVERYTHING. How to prepare your files, how to choose a printer, black & white conversion, and on and on. Along with all of this extensive and in depth information, Andrew provides help with putting together a portfolio, business cards, matting, you name it. The first part of this book alone is worth the admission. Andrew's style is easy to read and his information is easy to work into you personal workflow.

The remaining chapters are a treasure chest of guest artists' tips and ideas. Phil Bard, Edward Fausty, C. David Toble, Derek Cooper, Amadou Diallo, and Dorothy Simpson Krause are some of the guests you can learn from. Each artist brings their own experience and style to the art of printmaking and presentation. This section was a real treat.

Andrew Darlow has far exceeded the expectation of his book's title. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and will keep it as a valued reference as I hone my printmaking skills. Don't miss this one!

A Geat Reference Book

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2009

If you want to know everything about printing from ways to exhibit your work to printing over deckled paper edges, this 499 page book is for you.
The link to Darlow's website for more information about specific issues is a great idea and easy to deal with. I did find myself skimming a lot of the book just to make myself aware of what was availbale for possibe future reference. For me, some of the chapters were esoteric and beyond what I can imagine ever doing, and that's why I see it as a reference book rather than a step-by-step printing book.

Would I buy the book knowing what I know now after reading it? Probably. Would I recommend it to others? Maybe, depending on their needs.
Is it an "essential printing resource for photograpers?" No, for the non professional; yes, for the professional.

Chock full of really useful information!

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2019

I didn't expect such an extensive amount of information regarding inkjet printing but the size and volume of content in this book almost overwhelmed me! To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I must admit that I haven't had time to read the entire book cover to cover yet, but that isn't necessary. The content is so well organized to use as a ready reference, and that is what I have done on a few occasions already since this book arrived.

I am a Photoshop user more than a photographer and the information is just as useful - I don't know the number of times that a problem with printing my graphics files has stumped me. This book has already been worth its' weight in gold for the answers I have found inside. The fact that this book was designed to address a need that has not been addressed in other photography and/or graphics-related books is brilliant! The author has compiled the most useful information available regarding specific printing issues. I plan to get many years of time-savings as well as paper and ink savings as I use this as my go-to source for information regarding inkjet printing tips and techniques.

More like an options book than a tip book!

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is basically a book that lists basically all the options you have with different equipment and situations. Instead of giving you a tip on say, sharpening. Instead of giving you a tip on how to best sharpen for inkjet printing. It gives you several instructions in a row on how to use each type of sharpening option. And they are not just for printing (what the title of the book says). It does not tell you one is better over one or the other. Just how to use each way. Not really a tip, just instructions. Very dissapointed in this book. I returned it the day after I received it!

This book is by a long mile the most easy to read and to understand regrading inkjet printing, including wide format printing and colour management. The writing style is very engaging, memorable and slightly humorous, with everything explained in bite size portions.

This book is aimed at photographers who have some working knowledge but are looking for a book that is easy to read, easy to digest and is full of really helpful tips and techniques!

The book is split into 16 chapters over 500 odd pages that go through the following in very easy to understand and easy to read bite size portions:

Chapter 1.
Deals with deciding wether inkjet is right for the reader, explains costs, different print technologies, knowledge require and so on.

Chapter 2.
Specifically deals with digital file preparation, and digital jargon / imaging terms.

Chapter 3.
Advice choosing printer model, including reviews of a range of HP, Epson & Canon Wide format printers, as well as desktop variants. - This section does seem a little outdated and could do with updating!

Chapter 4.
Colour management tips & Techniques, and understanding Software, calibration, profiling etc.

Chapter 5.
Black & white - an entire section devoted to black and white imaging, and tips.

Chapter 6.
Deals with various standard and non-standard inkjet papers, including canvas, and a section on coatings.

Chapters 8-9.

Exhibitions, Editioning and image tracking/organising your images.

Chapter 14.
Packing, Lighting and framing tips.

Chapter 15.
Unique Art Application tips.

Chapter 16.

Conclusion.

This book contains invaluable and condensed information for anyone, from photographers looking to start out, to print providers and so on.

We actually use this book to train our production facility staff in the print basics, as the information is so easy to absorb and cleverly written, without appearing heavy, monotonous or boring to the reader!

Highly recommended!

Das Buch versucht alles zu betrachten vom batteriegetriebenen Thermosublimationsdrucker bis zum Epson Profi-Drucker. Wer schon einen besseren Drucker hat, und mit verschiedenen Druckerpapieren "gespielt" hat, findet keine Neuigkeiten.
