I tend to leave all digital file prep to the fellow who does my prepress -- he has more experience than I'll ever have. Initial sharpening is via the drum scanner. Secondary sharpening is via...

Paul,



I've just checked and I seem to have thrown out my original layout sketch for the image panels. I'm attaching an image to give you an idea. The panels were 1850mm x 1350mm. We scanned to...

Hello Paul,



As usual I had the transparency scanned at 12px/mm (a little over 300ppi) at the size it was to be printed (about A0). Primary sharpening was by the Fuji Celsis 6250 -- better than...

Hello Paul,



I'm attaching a small 1:1 crop of one of my 300 ppi A0 scans from 4x5 Astia together with a small version of the whole image. This was made by Andrew Budd -- the fellow I always...

Just bolted up today. I'm very pleased with ACM as an outdoor medium for large prints. (Direct printing to substrate by a Durst Rho 600 set to 600dpi.)

Thank you David. It would be good to travel and this may happen yet -- though it would be a bit of a performance: around thirty 1850x1350 mm digital ACM (aluminium composite) panels. Easy enough to...

Dear Michael,



To my mind a somewhat curious reading ... Having quickly gone over the thread I merely see a few individuals indicating that yes they do still find a use for large format on...

Yes, Jens, it really is a pity that many threads do tend to degenerate, and often surprisingly quickly. So often, it seems to me, it appears to be forgotten that photography is really just about...
