And a final few words of advice about printing
from Rob Howarth – Professional Photographer

  • Calibrate the computer screen with a Spyder device to make sure colours are right, cost around £100.
  • The more variety of ink the better the print will be (9 inks) 3 inks is not enough.
  • Best format to print from is a TIF file, the best colour space to use is Adobe RGB 1988.
  • If you have a jpeg print it from that, don’t bother changing it.
  • If you shoot raw you can save it as a TIF file.
  • A 16 bit file is better than 8 bit file, although your computer may not be able to handle 16 bit.
  • Small prints you can just print out as it is, but prints of A3 and more, then the above applies.
  • Match the paper to the ink. i.e. If it is Epsom paper use Epsom ink.
  • Use ink recommended by printer.
  • Match paper to the printer
  • Epsom is the best, then Canon, then everyone else (personal professional point of view).
