Photography and Writing by A. Cemal Ekin

Digital Printing Workflow and Paper Choices

Creating work using digital printing is both a challenge and a great reward for photographers. Printed photographs are not limited to the museum or gallery walls, they can be proudly presented on the walls of your home or those of art lovers.

Printing workflow has potential pitfalls that can be avoided with reasonable ease once they are understood. The paper selection is one such variable. This presentation will cover the overall printing workflow and particularly focus on paper choices.

I have made a series of presentations sponsored by Red River Paper to camera clubs in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. These well-received presentations offered a close view and inspection of various substrates using carefully made prints in addition to presenting a solid output workflow. 

Here are some links that are part of the presentation. Although they may make more sense after seeing the presentation, feel free to visit them anyway and see if you can make any use of them.

Read the posts on this site about color and color management.

Red River Paper, a good source of digital printing paper. Take a look at their tips page.

Photodisc test target, modified by Dry Creek Photo. I used the small version. 7×10 inch size. Do not edit or change the file for testing purposes.

Below are some photographs from previous presentations with sample prints I made for this purpose and the close inspection this format affords.

Below are some snippets of information I found interesting and noteworthy to share with the visitors of this site. They will change from time to time, have your bookmarks if you like any; they may disappear from here without notice.

Meet Adnan Onart

Adnan is a fellow countryman and a photographer from Boston. I missed his recent exhibit due to the weather and my being under the weather! But, he has put together a small website to make the show available online with explanations for each photograph. I highly recommend you visit the site, you will not be disappointed.

A Shadow, Adnan Onart

WordPress Themes

I use and recommend StudioPress Themes. They are reliable, well-designed, and well-maintained. Actually, I started using a theme much before it became a part of StudioPress, Revolution!
