5 Steps for High-End Photo Inkjet Printing

5 Steps for High-End Photo Inkjet Printing in Colour and Black & White

5 step Guide to High-End Colour and Black & White Photo Inkjet Printing for 2018  “This is a brief five – step video course which the busy pro photographer, studio, or photo lab will find useful, but it is also a ‘How-To’ guide which an enthusiast or newcomer to photo inkjet printing can follow.

Each of the five short videos cover current best practice as used by top photographers and studios worldwide.  It is High-end; this means printing to the quality of a top professional digital printworker.   I intend to cover colour AND black & white in this short video course, because modern pigment inks allow us to print awesome colour and black & white using the same printer and paper stock.  Each of the five subjects within this mini video course is split down into separate stand-alone ‘How to’ video clips, so you can watch these videos in whatever order you wish, or individually”

Like me, the average creative person tends to have an extremely short attention span, so I have tried to make these tutorials as short and to the point as possible.  In the references at the end, you will find links to far more comprehensive in-depth training on the subjects we cover here – I hope you enjoy these movies”……
