Longevity stated in years is a comparative rating measured under a fixed set of temperature, humidity and lighting conditions in a lab. It tells you which combinations of paper and ink last the ...

If M4/3s would apply this to their cameras they'd be a lot more popular.

The spray will help protect them from water and fingerprints but not scratches. For that you'd have to apply one of the aqueous coatings used for canvas.

All pro printers can print some of the colors in the ProPhoto color space, so it's always a good idea to do all your work in that space--and yes you can see the difference even though it's slight.

I think what Mark is saying is that if you want to neutralize the slight yellow cast of the paper just spray a thin coat of blue ink over it.

I haven't been doing this for more than a few years and so far so good. But I have no idea how it will last or look in 20+ years.

Fascinating and unexpected information Mark, thanks. Have you come across any "archival" flat mounting techniques like glues or other adhesives?

A all too common problem. Just switch to Canon like a lot of us have done.

The best way I know of is to vacuum mount the print to Gatorboard cut slightly smaller (1/2" all the way around) than the print then glue that to the inside of the frame. You can also use acrylic, ...

Your question was perfectly clear. I have an 18" and 24" Rotatrim but for anything larger I use my 40" matte cutter with the straight cutter head and it works fine.

If Canon hadn't cut their display life almost in half then I'd happy to consider one. In fact I still use my ipf6400, but it has the older much longer lasting ink.

Matte cutter.

K2 ink is no longer made. Consequently the prices for what's left are going up. I have a 9600 and am contemplating either converting it to B&W exclusively or buying refillable ink cartridges and ...

Nor do I think anyone makes leaf shutter lenses for digital cameras.

Just put enough caps on the output and they'll absorb the ripple.

I hope Sigma follows through with their plans for smaller but high quality lenses. I own several of their A lenses and love the quality but hate the size and weight. As a landscape photographer I'm...

It's just that being from a large format background I hate noise (grain) and so shoot at the lowest tolerable iso in order to minimize it. I love the perfectly clean sky and shadows the SD14 ...

Not having the math background you have I just tested mine to see what exposure produced the best image. Using my Luna Pro as a reference the best iso tested out to be 64. This produced the ...

You can try it but I don't think it will work. Both Epson and Canon have too many "fail safe" mechanisms built into their software to let you do this.

First, there are no 16x24 papers that I'm aware of, and even if there were the software wouldn't normally let you do that as the first step the printer does is verify the paper size. You would ...
