Hahnemühle does recommend MK for printing on Photo Rag Satin with the PRO-300, specifically the „Heavyweight Fine Art Paper“ media type and quality set to Highest. Have you been using their ICC ...

It is quite likely that something dried up and to be fair to prospective buyers you should run at least a nozzle test sheet - all you need for that is a plain sheet of printing paper, so that ...

I use Hahnemühle‘s A3+ sheets for 30x30cm prints. They also have 17“ rolls, but for 30x30cm the unused paper area would be only a little less with the roll. The roll is 43cm wide, A3+ has 48cm. I ...

Hi, I am looking for software that can generate an ICC profile for my scanner from an IT8 target  . I already tried CoCa/Argyll but the results were not good. Tested all algorithms, but the ...

Probably won‘t help, but here in Austria the PRO-1000 has a stated list price of 1,299 Euro at most shops, Canon even sells it online for 1,399, but some shops currently offer it discounted to ...

If you are not concerned with longevity or protection, I‘d say you can mount any prints without glass. I‘d maybe avoid matte papers and go for (semi-)gloss instead, they have a more durable ...

Have you looked at Photoshop actions to help you with the automation? Maybe you can record an appropriate Photoshop action and trigger that one from your Phython script?

Apologies if it has been mentioned before,  but have you checked out Whitewall? It is a German high-end online photo lab, and they also deliver overseas, including to Canada. https://www.whitewall.com

That is a very good point and definitively something to watch out for when working with highly saturated colors. When I compared the color space of my monitor to that of my printer, there were some ...

To be honest, better ignore the advice from that video. I would also recommend ProPhoto RGB as working color space. Nowadays you‘ll find both monitors and printers that can display or print colors ...

I really thought this works differently, but after testing it a bit more it seems you are right. It really seems that the Lab values in the color picker do represent the color in the Lab color space. ...

Earning a living from photography does not necessarily speak for the artistic value of one‘s work. I have seen too many „professionals“ producing mediocre output to believe that, and too many ...

What you can obviously see in this thread is people being interested in the finer technical details of the printing craft. But what in the discussion gives ground for your devaluation of the ...

So, you are saying when using the color picker in an image in the ProPhoto RGB color space, the shown RGB value represents the color in the ProPhoto RGB color space, while the Lab value represents ...

Yes, I agree that once you convert to the Lab color space, clipping occurs. But as long as you stay in the ProPhoto RGB color space, any values displayed or entered in the color picker's Lab ...

Hmmm, if you say "look at" you mean look at a file in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB, set a color to fully saturated green (R=0,G=255,B=0) and then check in the color picker what value is displayed for a? ...

I have been trying to wrap my head around this statement. Do I understand this correctly, you are saying that during the conversion actually colors are clipped not due to limitation of the target ...

Also from my side thanks for the video, very interesting! Actually the destructive editing is the only point where I disagree. I‘ve always tried to follow a non-destructive wokflow as much as ...

If you do black and white, use the paper for those prints, with the printer’s black and white mode. You don‘t need an ICC profile for that.

Somehow I am still not done with this, there was one more thing nagging in the back of my mind: I still wanted to get a better feeling for which results are closer to neutral, and to do that I ...
