I switched out the B-GN print head for a new one and cleaned the print heads a couple of times more shook both the cartridges and the print heads vigorously and the Diagnostic image looked good. ...
By diagnostic image do you mean a reference print? No, I haven't. I have a reference print and the software somewhere but can't find it right now. As I mentioned the printouts following...
I have had an HP Z3200 printer for the past 3-4 years. I also have the extended warranty. Recently I have noted some significant color abberations especially in the blue or cyan areas (read sky...
Does anyone have any thoughts about or experience with the new Mac Pro computer? My current Mac Pro is getting a bit long in the tooth and I am thinking of replacing it. I'm wondering if my current...
Actually, this was not a stupid query. I have a lot of large (some 40 x 60) mat boards, foam core and some glass leaning against the wall in a garage. They fall down. They get beat up. Mice...
Does anyone have a good solution for storing mat boards of multiple sizes? The largest are 60 x 40 inch sheets. I am looking for a cart with wheels. I know that they exist but am unable to find a...
I would definitely get the longest warranty available for the HP Z3200 if you decide to get the Z3200. I am on my 4th--- that's right 4th ---formatter board for the Z3200. If I didn't have the...
Thanks for your replies. I'm excited about this trip. Any Suggestions about the Mt. Shuksan area? Good spots other than Picture Lake. Lodging near Mt. Shuksan?
I am planning a trip to Mt. Ranier National Park the third and fourth week in August. My understanding is that the has been quite a heavy snow pack this season and some of the subalpine meadows are...
I am contemplating a trip to the Moab area of Utah this fall. I would like to know the degree of difficulty getting to the False Kiva site. I know that this is a Class II archeological site and the...
I will be traveling through Nevada next week. I was considering photographing the Fly Geyser near Gerlach but know that the geyser is on private land and wanted to get permission to visit the site. ...
I will be visiting the Cotswolds by car October 5-3. I am wondering if anyone was any tips about where to stay and recommendations as to various venues and general photographic "hot spots". Would...
Actually, I don't attempt to photograph it with the sun "in" the hole---it's way too many EVs (too bright) different from the face of the rock and water in the foreground. Having the sunlight strike...
Get Douglas Steakley's book, "The Photographer's Guide to the California Coast." Set your odometer to 0 at the Carmel River Bridge and proceed down Highway 1. I live here and have found it to be...
Hi Dan, The Ruxxac cart that you recommended looked great to me but ,alas, it appears to be discontinued, at least on the Amazon website. Do you know if it is available in the US? My understanding...
With the passage of time it just isn't any fun (actually, never was) to lug my photo backpack on my back any more. I have a Lowepro Road Runner Mini which is adequate to hold all my stuff. I've...
Actually, the Snow Leopard OS does partially work with Nikon Scan. What does not work for me is Digital Ice. I was told by technical support at Nikon that it will perhaps work by the end of...
Hi Eric, Yes, I am using and liking the Phase One back. Two things- 1. I have a very large library of images that I would like to scan that I have shot over the past 25+ years many of them were...
Quandry. I have a Nikon 9000ED film scanner that I'm reasonably happy with. The Snow Leopard OS for my Mac is not supported by Nikon Scan (yet). The question is whether to shell out the big bucks...

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. Our plan is Bar Harbor, Maine Northern and central NH and then the environs of Woodstock, Vermont. My wife is a non-photograher and I think she will do well...
I am going to be in New England from October 9 to 19. We plan to go to Acadia National Park for 3-4 days and then head to Northern New Hampshire around Conway and Mt. Washington. I have a few...
I have been using the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED with my Intel MacPro. The Photoshop plug in does not work with the Intel Macs as of a month or so ago. I called technical support at Nikon and...
I have done this trip four times. The last time was about five years ago and was led by Gary Ladd. Gary has written about and photgraphed extensively in the Grand Canyon. The trip was sponsored by...
I will be travelling in Egypt in March. Has anyone had experience getting permits for and/or using tripods in Egypt? We will be visiting Cairo, Luxor, Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel among other...
We are leaving shortly for a photo workshop in Tuscany. Before the organized portion of the trip we will have a few days on our own. I am planning on visiting Vernazza in the Cinque Terre area for...
Thanks to both Ted and Eric,
I'll see about aquiring a Nikon.

Thanks, Ted. Do you think that I should also get the optional glass medium format film carrier? I have heard about problems with flatness the glassless unit. Is there a problem with Newton's...
I have been using the Minolta Dimage Multi Pro scanner for scanning my medium format transparancies. Recently the unit has had a series of problems with the transport mechanism and is not recognized...
In an effort to bring my personal decision making up to date on this thread, I have purchased and installed the Z3100 24" printer. So far I have been quite pleased with the set up and the the...
I find myself in the market for a new printer. I make a lot of large prints and have been looking at the variuos Epson iterations. It was interesting therefore to visit one of the high end...
You should take some Tecnu with you. It's available over the counter. Take a shower as soon as you can and apply it to all exposed body parts. It removes the oils which cause the problem. If you...
Okay, perhaps I was unclear about the "instant gratification" bit. "Instant confirmation" would have probably been a better choice of words. It it would be nice to know if you "got the shot" or not...
I know that it's insanely expensive but I've been thinking of taking the jump into a quality digital back for my Hasselblad equipment. I have followed Charlie Cramer's odyssey with interest from...
I will be taking an organized tour of the English Lake District and Scottish Highlands in mid September. After the organized tour we will have 7-9 days of independent travel in Scotland starting...
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. We probably will spend a few days in Taormina and then somewhere else in Sicily, we haven't decided where yet. As our organised tour appears to be fairly...
I will be on a two week organised trip in Sicily during mid April and will have a week free after the formal tour to do some independent travel. We were thinking about renting a car and visiting...
Thanks everybody for your helpful suggestions. I frankly don't think that it is a problem with the Zeiss lenses either but I had never heard of that explanation before. I do have the Gretag MacBeth...
I recently attended a workshop where we were asked to bring along a portfolio of our recent work. Some of my color prints were rather harshly critisized (albit mainly by the b&w folk) for being "too...
