New printer

[Matt. K]

Purchased a new printer recently...Epson SC600. Cost $999 from Teds Camera store. Print quality is outstanding....and black and white prints even more so. The shadow detail is superb and much better than anything I could ever get out of a darkroom. Can highly recommend.

Congrats Matt. What papers are you using?

I've forgotten how to print anything...

So far using Epson Premium Glossy and archival Matte. Haven't experimented with art type papers yet.

Hi Matt
I got a sample pack of epson worth papers last time I order some others. I use Ilford Smooth Pearl and Canson Rag Photographique and Platine Fibre Rag and Pro Canvas.
The smooth pearl and Platine are very similar I prefer the smooth pearl as the paper colour is a little bit whiter and it gives me some hue in the landscape whites.
I find it a great joy to print out a photo and hang it on the wall. I have a framed white board in the dining room and I put a print on that. I find this is for me a great way to see if I like over time.

So far I done two of the trip the first did not make past a week and half the second is looking good and had some good comments on it.

Interesting idea.

Living in a small abode has its problems (and positives). I printed a lot of stuff and alas, they’re still rolled up in the cupboard. Nowhere to hang them. There is however a great satisfaction in printing photos large.
