I do all my color processing and printing using traditional darkroom methods. Making small prints for a portfolio to give
to a gallery can be a very time consuming process in a darkroom. I do make master prints of each composition I develop.
I use the master print as a standard to insure consistency from print to print and my website images.
I have been considering using a digital solution for making portfolios. My intent would be to scan the master print and then
print it using a digital printer. I believe this could be faster for making portfolios. I have looked at prints made from inkjet printers,
but I have not been impressed with the images. Kodak makes a series of digital printers using a dye-sub process which is supposed
to produce photographic quality images. In particular, I am looking at the Kodak 8500 printer as a possible solution. Has anyone
had any experiences with this printer? Can you comment on the quality of the images made from this printer?
