Excellent point Mark.
R
LOL! Of course it does! I would make the point though that an image is a sum total of related parts that include dark black. Photography is so vast that one could spend a lifetime using deep black...
I am lucky to have found him. He is a talented individual who not only makes sure that we know the technical end but, he makes us throw it out there and he says "Expose your soul"!
I know that this thread is kind dead but I read this thread when I first started my beginning digital class this semester after taking a class in film photography using B&W film, develop, and making...
I ended up getting the 3880 and I am happy with it. Software is very good and connected to the hub it is very fast and trouble free.
Just to give an overview about how I came to this decision....
Wow! Thanks guys. After all the input for the money it looks like the 3880.

Thanks for the link Paul.
Concerning the problem of not printing enough I have seen some general ideas of flushing the system with solutions to better battle the clog situation. I would consider...
I am glad to hear that you don't have any problems with the 3880. The reason that I am asking questions in this forum is that most people here are "real" about expectations concerning equipment and...
Thanks for the tip!

I am just starting to head down the wormhole of printing high quality images at home. I have been using an Epson 3880 printer at a college class that I am taking and I find the images incredible...
Are only large format images allowed here?

Thanks. I was thinking there was something that a pro shop would do to make the ink more durable like special drying techniques or something along those lines. So the only way to get a more durable...
I do understand the part about oils on ones hands. I find that even with gloves the print will show signs of touching the black background. I know that if I go to a paper with a harder finish that it...
I am new to this level of printing. I have recently been taking classes at a college nearby and for the first time I have printed on an Epson 3880 printer. WOW! just about says it all. I printed on...
Thanks everybody. Your input so far is helping me close in on what I need to do.
Thanks,
R
Now, that is funny! The only thing wrong with that scheme is that you might possibly be taken for a pervert of some sort! You know, the coat? Guess it is ok if you are wearing all your clothes! LOL!...
I guess you all are right. I was hoping something like Digimarc would be helpful.
R
Wow! I was expecting to find some way to secure my images. This is disconcerting!
I have been getting very active in shooting and scanning and taking the time to get fully back into photography. I am about to get a web site going and the question of image security is really...
Very nice image!
Thanks a million.

I have a new camera and would like to find another mounting plate so that I can switch cameras easily. Here is the camera plate. It measures 50 mm width at the base of the wedge and is about 90mm...
Thanks for the download link. Very good information.
R
That sounds good. I just need something that doesn't take up to much room in my backpack.
Take care,
R
I am the same way. Somehow....I seem to leave behind just as much as I take away! Go figure!
R
The whole series of Ansel Adams' , The Camera, The Negative, and The Print are very good. Do yourself a favor after you read them and take a beginning college photography class that deals with...
First of all the vacuum that a seal-a-meal gets to is not a true vacuum and I have found no scratches that have been made by the slides. The big thing is to keep the dirt off the holder to start...
I have never see a post on this proceedure but, as we all know we fight dirt on our film at all stages of the process and I have discovered a very good way that really helps. Of course I vacuum and...
That is an outstanding image!
R
Very nice shot....
R
That is what I did. Read the paragraph just before the tables. It says that the "stock solution" is mixed 1:3. Very poorly written if I may say so myself. If you go through the math in the first...
I made a mistake and everything is NOT fine! Not to highjack but this is along the same lines. I made a mistake mixing HC110. I have been using concentrate at 1:7 for developing Ilford HP5.:( So.......
Nice Jeff!
R
Thanks for the compliment. I am new to B&W and it is very difficult for me to get used to the differences of using color. Strange medium.

If I may suggest a site. This gentleman is on top of night photography and this site has tons of information about night photography. I know that he is using digital but his articles on star scanning...
Just kinda look through the night shots and do some research on the web to see what times and apture they were using. City environs you might be able to meter. Country shots, in the middle of...
I do not know if 45 minutes after sunset counts but here goes.

Once again thanks for the heads up. I asked about printing 4X5 and he said no problem.

There is a complete darkroom, of course. I do not know about tank. I have read that tanks are the best way to go for consistency and I am not opposed to tank developing at home. The cost would not be...
