Hello! I have been using a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 5100 P4 with 1 gig of RAM for B&W, printing 8x10 with MIS inks on an Epson R220 with glossy paper and sending out for larger prints when I want them. My main purchase will be a better scanner in the coming months.
I have been curious about color. I am reading through Real World Color Management by Fraser, Murphy, and Bunting. My head is spinning. To do justice to a color workflow means a new scanner, but also a new computer, monitor, printer, as well as a host of profiling materials.
I don't think I'll be popular in the house if I purchase all this at once.
I have read that the half lives of LCDs is about 18 months, so I am way down on the curve with my laptop. Is this true, or can I get reasonable results and a longer life span of the laptop's monitor with frequent profiling? Best regards.
Mike
