Our
new E-Book: The Art of Digital Fine Art printing
"....I am very impressed
with the book you are about to read. It’s information like
this that has helped to raise the quality of digital output and
reduce the traditional art world’s resistance to the use
of digital tools in art. It is a book written by someone who KNOWS
fine art digital printmaking. Uwe’s style is concise and
to the point. This comprehensive and complete guide to fine art
digital printmaking should be included in the library of anyone
who is serious about making fine art digital prints...."

B&W Photographers: Soft Proofing for B&W We
are sure that some of you may have missed this important
article. We are currently working a lot with B&W
prints and you probably know that this is quite challenging.
With the help of Roy Harrington's profiling tool we were able
to get
much better B&W prints / previews on both Hahnemuehle
Fine Art Pearl and also InkJetArt Micro Ceramic Gloss. We will
use
now
the MCG
paper
for our proofing of glossy media. Read our update for using these
profiles in the B&W print process.
