At Ken Allen Studios we have been testing light panels and transparencies for inkjet printers over the last year and are excited about the combination of materials we have assimilated.

First is...

Thanks for the reply Bob.

I suppose we are really looking for 2 solutions. One being the best of the best for a more fine art usage. Most even lighting, best color, modern classic profile.

We have begun to experiment with Epsons DisplayTrans Backlight Media. The first roll we received had lots of pinholes in the coating when held up to a light source. After speaking with Epson they...

We use the Crystal Clear Polypropylene bags from ClearBags that others here have also recommended. They are acid free, affordable, and do the job they were intended to do, i.e. protecting prints from...

Hi Ron,

Sorry to say we have not. We also use the Museo Portfolio Rag and the Lexjet Hot Press Rag which are very similar papers (slight differences) and both are priced very closely with the...

We received the Harman Gloss Baryta and I think it prints beautifully. It is much more glossy then some of the other Baryta papers but still very nice, and it has minimal surface texture. We will...

Thanks for the information. I will follow up on these resources. We are getting okay results with MacTac PermaGard Luster and we just ordered a roll of the glossy but I am also wondering if it an...

We were printing on both the Museo Silver Rag and the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Bartya papers for this "in between" option. We began noticing changes in the Museo paper from batch to batch (different...

Hello,

While Laminating fine art prints has been somewhat looked down upon by the conservation community because of shrinking, peeling, etc. we are seeing more and more fine art exhibitions where...

We recently completed an interesting job involving photographing large prints and reproducing them on canvas using inkjet printers. We achieved some very nice results and want to share our workflow...

Thanks for the info everybody.

Jim: It takes about 5 passes to cut through the Sintra. I think the blade would probably snap in half if we tried it in one pass! Keeping the blade lubed is a good...

Sintra is a very popular substrate for mounting. It is rigid and can be used for displaying a piece without a frame or in a frame. We also mount to Dibond but Sintra is less expensive and we have a...

We have been mounting inkjet prints to Sintra in our printing studio with some success and I am wondering if anybody has advice on cutting Sintra and mounting to it.

We are currently using a...

The 2200 has metameric failure in many of its prints, due to the number of inks and the proportions that the printer uses to create colors. As much as a 20 point shift from UV to Tungsten is the...

You should try the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta (glossy) or the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag (Matte). The Baryta is a great paper for the Photo Black. It is not a high gloss, more of a luster, and is great...

I agree with Greg Miller's advice. Also, what kind of monitor are you using?

You can also do a soft proof in Photoshop which will at least give you an idea of how the image is going to look when...

Just made an action in Photoshop to expand the canvas and flip the images so you do not crop when you wrap. You will have to manually adjust the movement of the layers but it still saves a lot of...
