Hi Andrew,
My sincere appreciation for a great and long-overdue book.
Howard Schatz/Ornstein photography has some great flower images saturated with (usually two…) artificial colors right to the edge of the color gamut. Can you advise me on the best Photoshop technique to achieve this as well as any suggestions (ProPhoto?) to achieve similar results on my 7800?
Thanks
Mike Lord

Hi Mike:

Thanks for your very kind words. There are a few things you can do to optimize saturation. On pages 247-249 of 301 Inkjet Tips, David Tobie covers this. I would start with the profiles made by Bill Atkinson for the 7800 and also choose a paper that can hold the color and give you the look you want. Fiber gloss/semi-gloss papers can really help. Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl and Epson Exhibition Fiber come to mind right away.

All the best,

Andrew Darlow

Book Reviews

"301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques" is terrific. It's a very thorough "encyclopedia" of how to make prints, and what you can do with them. In my view, it should be called "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Making and Using Inkjet Prints But Were Afraid to Ask."
The book is also filled with wonderful photographs contributed by Andrew and his very accomplished friends and clients.
Great information, and well worth the price.
