Digital BW, The Print

Tyler, Yes, this group does seem quite proud and for the most part, that is
a good thing. I just quickly scanned the first ten responses and while some
were on Robert's topic, much went off in directions more advanced
users/printer would appreciate.  However, Robert simply said he was a
novice; not in photography or printing but just a novice. The History of
Inkjet that was recently kicked around on perhaps three or more forums would
give him a good place to get some background on the topic of INKJET/B&W
printing. There are certainly camps set up for each group of out put
workflows; QTR, Qimage, Image Print, Nikon, blah blah blah. The quality of
Inkjet prints has certainly gone up over the last few years so to say with
any of the modern Epson Printers, X800 series, and a reasonable capture
device, Canon 1,2,or 5 D, Nikon 200, one should be able to make pretty darn
nice prints quickly. 

 

Any complicated tool will take time to learn, and these are complicated
tools with very easy interface to quickly get going. The additional tools
such as profiling packages are really getting much more accessible to the
end users. The shake down of fact from personal in campments will take some
time. One just needs to look at ink sets to get an idea of the personal
quality of the colors and lack there of, to see that many printers disagree
as to what is best. 

 

Way out side the hardware cost is just the time to learn it all. So Robert,
the best solution for you might be to get the front end, camera, lens,
software and out source the rest. Invest in plane tickets and go visit the
labs that make the "best" prints for you and concentrate on that.  But hey,
without input from Robert, it is hard to move forward with more solid
advice.

 

Any one can search vendors for best price, etc.  It is hard to Google for
best relationship you can build with a vendor whether that is a print vendor
or a complete package set up, camera, printer, profiling software, etc. 

 

 

 My 2 cents

Good luck Robert

Well, no one is better at making wind than this group here, and we're proud
of it thanks.

My main point was that the "state of the art" is a perception based on all
kinds of things, 
including experience.
People need to actually see this stuff to make those determinations. I
honestly don't know 
how to answer.
