I've been shooting 8x10 for a few years now. I've recently graduated from the School of Visual Arts.
I no long have acess to an 8x10 enlarger, so I'm wondering if I can make digital C-prints with an
LED printer using scans from consumer scanners. I've been reading a lot about the Epson 4990 and the Mircrotek i900. Would it be
viable to print at the 40-50" range or the 50-60" with a scan that I get from these machines?
I've made some 20x24" prints with the LED from an old School Epson flat bed and they look just fine.
My main concerns are Newton Rings, shadow detail and of course image sharpness.
Should I even consider this route or should I toss the 8x10 and just start shooting 4x5 and go the Imacon way?
Thanks for the help,
- Jeremiah
