I have made the first test with standard BW paper and the sharpness and contrast is not as expected or comparable to the original photographs.<br /><br />Have you tried using standard color paper to print black and white photo trade books?Ramon Clementehttps://www.ramonclemente.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-58361428532013375932017-11-18T07:22:50.727-08:002017-11-18T07:22:50.727-08:00I just did a small Trade Book and totally agree wi...I just did a small Trade Book and totally agree with Andrew. I even used the cheapest paper, because it is warm toned, and that's what I was after. I did the small 5x8 version because that is the same size as the small saddle-stitched booklets I print on my Epson 3000. The Trade Books are inexpensive, so I think the best way to approach a project with them is to just do it, order one copy, and then make layout and other changes. I guess a lot depends on one's way of working and philosophy towards projects. What I have learned is that if I sit around and fiddle too long with layout and print optimization, I never get around to doing a book, so I just 'do it,' get the proof copy into my hands, look at it for a while, let it sit around, get other peoples comments and then make the changes I think will get me where I want to be. I think it was HCB who never really cared for the fine print, but was only interested in what his photos would look like reproduced in magazines - I am beginning to think that way too because, for one thing, I am running out of wall space to hang prints.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057172033456543944noreply@blogger.com
