 Re: Photo Printer to get started | |
If you're having issues with prints coming back wrong, then might be your screen calibration. Is it calibrated?
But also consider your room brightness and the brightness of the screen. I recommend (and have been using successfully) the following:
Dimmed room ambience. (Stop the daylight coming in and run daylight interior lighting dimmed to a level where reading from a book is possible but feels a bit dim). Then set your monitor to 80cd/m2 brightness. Ideally you don't want strongly coloured walls but a dimmed environment helps with this anyway.
If I ever get prints done out of house I use GraphiStudio, and with my setup I get perfect prints every time, (as with my in-house print set up).
If you do get a printer, (I use an Epsom P800), then you will want to get a custom profile made for any particular paper & ink combo that you use. PermaJet offer a cheap service (free for with their papers). Then use this profile instead of the printer's profile. (Note with Macs, you need to be very careful how you set things with colour management - some research may be required).
