I like making prints-which is a good thing, since I’m writing a book about printing! Before You Print
Of course, as always, there are some potential roadblocks and technical issues (I call them “gotchas”) to be aware of. Once you’ve got your image prepared, and you’ve soft proofed with the appropriate profiles and tweaked the image just so, it’s just a matter of printing them. There’s certainly less about theory here, and more about the mechanics. If you have survived the chapters on color management and preparing your images for printing, you’ll find this chapter relatively simple. The image was scanned on an Epson Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner at 4800 ppi. I used a Sinar 4x5 camera with a 360mm lens on 4x5 Ektrachrome transparency film, which I processed with one of the first E-6 home processing kits from Kodak. It was shot in 1976 for a school assignment.
