If you only do two or three prints a month it will be a nightmare of clogged heads and wasted ink. You would be far better off spending your money getting the prints made for you.

I have the large one. The small one might be different. Take the screws out from around the base and the head should come apart. I know there are some other things to do as well but it has been a...
I neglected to say above that I like her work. Some of it is incredibly beautiful. I just find the affectations distract me from the beauty of the actual image.
The early work with her family and her later work of her husband are really good. Some of the stuff in the middle is disappointing. Her work with cadavers was calculated to be shocking but it had the...
You should probably stay away from anything that isn't pretty simple but simple is good in my opinion. You want a design that shows off your photographs not the design. If you are looking for an easy...
Steve, I have mixed Phenidone with Propylene Glycol and it lasted a long time. I couldn't give you specifics but it was at least a year. I would store it in glass or PETE containers if you are...
It will make the drum smell like sh$t and make you want to throw up, but other than that you should be ok. :)
I don't particularly like the merit argument, I.E. a print is more worthy because of the difficulty of the process. You can beat your head against an inkjet printer or your dye matrix or your...
I use a two sided one for drying prints fast, sometimes for ferrotyping and also for flattening dry prints. To flatten dry prints I crank the heat all the way up, stack the prints, close the top and...
Just be honest with your description and have a policy of no refunds. I actually stated for a long time in my auctions that "if you are a pain to deal with or if you are going to have remorse please...
Profiling the film would be your best bet unless your lab is causing the crossovers. I don't know if Epson software has the facility but Vuescan does. I have never profiled a film through Vuescan...
Add a polarizer before the red filter as Peter suggested above. I put the polarizer in front of the red filter.
The other alternative is to go to the Desert Southwest or extreme elevations. You...
I think Elinchroms give some gorgeous light. I used to have a few Style mono heads and I ended up selling them because I never used them. I still have a Ranger battery powered setup but I will...
You basically need 100% humidity and the dew point the same as the temperature. Still winds help too. Most forecasts give the dew point and the rest as well. When these three factors collide there is...
I was just looking at this today because I wanted to get Viewfinder Pro which I found out won't run on my IPhone since Apple decided to obsolete it even though it is only three years old. Gotta love...
I have done a few lenses now and it isn't all that difficult. Make sure you mark the lens before you separate the elements. I use a pin to score a line on the edge which works fine and makes it easy...
I use Lightroom 3 with 600 meg scans and don't have any real problems, only the occasional slowdown but that is on a new Mac stuffed with ram. Odds are if you are running XP your machine is older and...
I have been using the Peerless dry dyes the last few years. They work fine-

They also come in...
Andrew Smith, Verve, PhotoEye and the Monroe Gallery are the best photo galleries. Andrew Smith has more classic works. Verve is more contemporary and Monroe deals more with photojournalism. These...
I am not convinced Pyrocat is all that great. I drank the cool aid for seven years but there were many anomalies along the way. Frustrated, I switched to Rodinal (1+50) in a Jobo 3010 and I have not...
I think prices are up and they are going to keep going up. Take a look at Leica lenses over the last year. It really comes down to the look-what-I-have-that-you-don't-so-I-am-better-than-you crowd....
While Rodenstocks and Schneiders are the most common lenses you will find don't overlook others like Fujinons and Nikkors. As long as you get a clean lens you will be fine. Leave all the testosterone...
Leave the mods alone. Jeesh. This thread was a train wreck right from the beginning comments and only got worse as it went along with the bad reaction of the OP to some pretty lame comments by...
Wally if the pods are crystallized then it is better to just open them up and develop the film.
Ken- IIRC the negative was a Kodak film and it could have been something like Panatomic-X or...
You are probably much better off going to Focal Point than to Nikon. Focal point will do much better than Nikon on these type things assuming Nikon doesn't have any spare parts. I doubt Nikon could...
If I am not mistaken, if you are concerned about polluting with Pyrogallol than don't pee in the toilet either. :)
In other words, don't worry about it.
Foma has it's issues sometimes but it gives beautiful tonality. I read somewhere recently that the pinholes may be due to little pieces of cutting artifacts and tapping the film before loading gets...
More than likely it was perhaps a drop of water, or something similar, on the front of the lens. I have had the same thing happen to me in the rain unfortunately. Sucks! You can't see it through the...
Just throwing it out there Frank but I have a Foba Superball and have been using it for over a decade now. One of the nicest things about it is a simple flick of the locking lever locks it down solid...
I agree with the Weston quote, whichever one said it, but that is also why Jeeps exist.:D
I wish there was a link to all of them or, better yet, I wish I could see them in person. Thanks for posting this.
I have noticed that I get significantly more dust with images done in Grafmatics than in regular DDs even though I try to be careful.
The cheapest way would be to dry mount them to foam core and then use Swiss Clips without an over mat. Leaving off the over mat would keep the weight down too. Foam core is pretty inexpensive. It...
Lana Aquarelle Hot Press is a great paper. It is nice and smooth. Great paper to start with and it is easy to find in almost any art store.
I won't touch on the different methods of making negs. As long as the print is good how you made it doesn't really matter. I made some prints in the mid 90's with negs from a crappy Epson that were...
I would go with a Saunders/LPL (which I think is an Omega distributed product now) 4550 XLG with a color head since you want to make color prints. It works fine for b&w as well. If you are only doing...
Take it apart and clean it yourself!
I have the big Foba Superball that gets "mushy" every few years. I cleaned it recently for the first time in about 4 years and it went from "mushy" (with a...
I usually use distilled for mixing developers and filtered tap water for the rest, even the final rinse. One thing to note for the PUR filters I use is that they have two types, one is a two stage...
I am with Turtle. While not legally wrong, it is morally wrong.
The kiddies are cashing in though! I doubt Eggleston has a whole lot to do with these sales. I bet Eggleston does some epic signing...
