Digital BW, The Print

Try contacting Tyler Boley, he uses a Howtek drum scanner for scanning film as well as both K3 and Cone ink sets. If he's willing he'll be able to advise you properly.

Hi Bill,

I considered Cone Editions (it's only a 3 hour drive) but was hesitant as most of his workshops are based on Piezography - I would prefer using Epson K3 inks if possible. There are so many varying opinions as to inksets, RIPs, it's making my head spin. I've considered 'outsourcing' my printing but it's costly and complicated and I want to do it myself :). I've had some wonderful results with my old Canon dye based printer but now that I am printing big (44") I've had to resign myself to the duller look of pigment inks.

I would consider traveling if I 'knew' it would be helpful. What does your one-day workshop cover ? Do you offer any 3-4 day courses ?

Many of the workshops I've read about involve taking pictures, raw processing, discovering artistic intent, learning about curves, etc. Not that it wouldn't be beneficial but right now my stumbling block is B&W inkjet printing (or so I think). I have a hybrid workflow that begins with drum scanned black and white roll film negatives - ideally I would like someone to assess and criticize my work and my processing methods and suggest ways of improving them, trying alternative printing methods such as using QTR or ImagePrint. Well at least for starters :)

Paul

Paul-

I can highly recommend the workshops taught at Cone Editions: http://www.cone-editions.com/workshops.html

Tyler Boley, one of the finest inkjet printers I know, occasionally teaches there. Not sure what part of the country you are in, or how you feel about travel, but if you're interested in one-on-one training check with Tyler: http://www.custom-digital.com

I'll be teaching a one-day workshop on inkjet printing at my university in May, part of a Santa Fe Workshops weekend we are hosting, if that is convenient for you.

Subject: [Digital BW] Master printing workshop recommendations

Hi all,

While I can make a decent black and white print I am unable to produce a true museum quality print on my Epson 9890. I recently started a sabbatical to pursue a career as a fine art photographer but my printing skills are lacking and there's only so much I can learn on my own or online... Could someone recommend a master printing workshop, or maybe someone you know that would be willing to teach advanced B&W printing one on one ?

Thanks,

Paul
