I just acquired an Epson 3800 photo printer. Oh.. It's exiting! Yes I know I'm a nerd.

As with any new piece of equipment equipment I'm still in the learning phase. I'm learning about color management, and the different paper types, and all kinds of little things you need to know to make perfect prints.

The greatest part of having in house printing is that it won't take 3 days to get prints. If they are a little patient I can even give people a print or two right after the portrait session. I like that idea.

The second greatest part is that I am now have absolute control of every step of the process. Even a great photo lab has to guess what an image is supposed to look like. No two printers or monitors display things exactly the same. So when a photographer sends an image to be printed by an outside lab, the lab often has to make little tweaks to an image to get it to looks right on their machines. Their interpretations aren't always what I intended. They are allays good, just a little different. Now that I'm doing the printing they look exactly like I want them to, so I can guarantee your prints will be exactly what they should be.
