The whole point is that such images are specially created to show problems in printing - yours (and mine) are not. They often come with a guide as what to look for in the different parts of the ...

I'd still suggest using a known test image and the Epson profile - it's a different printer, so settings are unlikely to be similar. Just trying adjustments is a great way of using up paper/ink ;-)

Have you used a known good test image to test your print setup and settings? Most people have great difficulty in meaningfully describing what's 'wrong' in a print, when it's not an obvious fault. ...

For smaller artwork 50MP 5Ds + TS-E90 Stitched multi shot shifted images for higher res. For really high res I'll use longer focal length and take a series of shots to stitch. Resolution is rarely ...

Ah, I should have mentioned in my reply that I was only speaking for my experience of the UK market - like many, I sometimes forget this is an international list and practices vary. That said, if a ...

In general I won't put text of any sort on prints.  That goes for commercial sales to companies, such as large prints for foyers/boardrooms etc and also to private sales (in someone's house). Where ...

Then enjoy the experience! if not bellows then a few cheap extension tubes? Here's a 28mm M43 lens (£2.50 at a charity shop) reversed, and stuck to some extension tubes with hot melt glue This from ...

The camera method is fast - although shooting tethered is absolutely vital. Other advantages  I've seen mentioned are being able to view the results in processing software (with adjustment presets) ...

Have you checked other epson sites round the world? I know from talking to people here that each region handles its own software support. I looked at Epson.co.uk and there was newer Mac software ...

I did look at the V850 a while ago and used the Epson software for testing, but for serious use I'd pick Vuescan (over the silverscanSE software it also came wit) http://www.northlight-images.co.uk ...

Ah, that could make things problematic. Much of the advice in this thread is aimed at reducing uncertainty and variability in a workflow. Follow the various suggestions here, but do be aware that ...

Is this the original iSis model? I did wonder if they introduced license management in the Mk2 version? My (very) old one needs either the dongle or an i1Pro plugging in.

Whilst that's a very valid observation, by far and away the largest proportion of people who've asked me about this over the years have got an improvement by turning the monitor down a bit. Of ...

None for 15 years I'm afraid... I usually enjoy seeing their pitch at Focus/TPS which always reminds me of a market stall ;-)

The simplest (and most common) cause of this is having your monitor set too bright. The ideal way to approach this is to calibrate your monitor to a lower light level. If upon lowering your monitor ...

If you can wait until The Photography Show at the NEC, Marrutt are a regular feature ;-) Here's a bunch of willing punters wanting to hand over cash at Focus 2010 They've been in the replacement ...

These people made all the frames for several exhibitions of mine https://www.pmtrading.co.uk They are in Leicester - I visited them directly to see what they could do. Worth checking if you want ...

Some good questions that all too often are not given enough attention. In terms of suitable source material, it does depend on what size prints you want to produce. If I was limited to 13"x19" then ...

"Similar ... without the need to re-profile" Something I'm minded to think I'd only hear from someone selling inks ;-) Nope, personally I wouldn't use non OEM inks. I'd have to reprofile everything ...

That's a fascinating project - I look forward to hearing how it goes. I've spoken to several suppliers here in the UK and whilst the import costs are regularly mentioned as a problem, the real ...
