Today's digital cameras provide image data files allowing large-format output at high resolution. At the same time, printing technology has moved forward at an equally fast pace bringing us new inkjet systems capable of printing in high precision at a very fine resolution, providing an amazing tonality range and longtime stability of inks.

Moreover, these systems are now affordable to the serious photographer. In the hands of knowledgeable and experienced photographers, these new inkjet printers can help create prints comparable to the highest quality darkroom prints on photographic paper.

This book provides the necessary foundation for fine art printing: The understanding of color management, profiling, paper and inks. It demonstrates how to set up the printing workflow as it guides the reader step-by-step through this process from an image file to an outstanding fine art print.

Fine Art Printing for Photographers - 2008-10-30
Reviewer Rating:
IF I had never read any color management books in my life and IF the schools I attended did not address "how things print to paper" then this book would be ideal.
For the accomplished printer of anything having to do with "ink on paper" this book held no "extra" secrets.
I had expected a guide to the Art Community's use and acceptance of inkjet printing. Alas, no such luck.
I do believe "Geclee' was mentioned once, in passing but, not elaborated on.
As a basic color management book this is not bad.

After reading some excellent reviews from "Fine Art Printing" Uwe Steinmueller and Juergen Gulbins, I am truly convinced that this book must be seeing for those who really would like to learn, in low level, the best printing technics. But there were a important missing in this book. What are the best steps to preserv the best integrity from Raw files and them print.

If you in Lightroom and could send your Raw file directly to printer is one option. In second, you can choose edit in Lightroom and go thru Photoshop in TIFF convertion. And third way is export in DNG thru bridge and still in photoshop. So what is the best ways, aproaching printing resolution?
