Product Description
Product Description
The recent technological advances in inkjet printing from Epson have created a true revolution in printmaking, making fine-art production a real possibility for all. It is an increasingly inexpensive process that is open to every photographer, both amateur and professional - but it brings with it a new set of challenges unfamiliar to those photographers who grew up in traditional darkooms. The Art of Printing Photos on your Epson Printer guides you through equipment and materials, detailed instructions on how to prepare digital images, as well as experimenting with alternative print media, showing how the craft of printmaking can be just as creative as the act of taking photographs.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is beautifully printed, with many colorfull pictures and covers many aspects of printing, generally and relative to your Epson.
So you will find these chapters: 1-PRINTER AND INKS, 2-PAPER, 3-COLOR MANAGEMENT, 4-PRINT COMPARISONS, 5-THE CRAFT, 6-PRESENTATION AND DISPLAY.
The layout is beautiful, and there are many nice pictures and explanations. The only problem about this book is that it does not deliver
what it promises: the best from you printer. Let me explain what I found out. Page 84 is about Software setup and resolution. Any digital image
will have alpha x beta pixels, a resolution measured in pixels per inch, and a size: Width x Height. (In fact if you divide alpha by Width you will get
resolution). A picture you want to print will probably have a different size than the "native" size of you image, so you will have to resample it.
(It is better to do it in Photoshop than to let your printer do it)
Usually (but not necessarily) you will reduce it. So the author is suggesting that you set the resolution to 300 pixels/inch.
Apparently though, from research done on the internet most Epsons have a "Native" resolution of 720 pixels/inch.
This means that the optimal setting will be 720 pixels/inch (or at least a multiple of this figure like 360/inch), otherwise the printer
will have to "resample"/"interpolate" and the quality will be reduced. Anyway, I did try it on my Epson and with help from a magnifying lens I could
clearly see the difference between 300 and 720 dpi.
(So honestly...not alot of difference but still enough that it could be seen; why shouldn't I be getting the most when I just have to type a number?)
Now what disturbs me most is that the author doesn't even have a clue about the 720 dpi number, and I wonder
how much he really knows about these printers and how to get the most from them.
If such information is not covered or even mentioned in this 192 page book, where will I find it? Does this book deserve to call itself: "The art
of printing"?. Are the authors really masters of this Art? I leave the answer to you.
