IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE MADE color prints to a very exacting look and feel. So, I am extremely pleased that, after a little (very little) printer maintenance followed by number of calibration settings test prints, my 20 year old Epson 7800 Stylus Pro is banging out perfect prints one after another, no adjustments needed. The prints in question are for inclusion in an An Adirondack Survey folio-actually 2 identical folios-that will be submitted, along with a 55 picture photo book of the same name, to gallery and art institution directors.

Re: the photo book. The proof book has arrived and, no surprise, the 6-color printing is right on the money. A couple images required minor adjustments, 2 pictures are being swapped out for pictures that are variations of the same scenes, and I am adding 4-5 additional pictures to the book. I like the flow of the book as is so no changes there. Next up is the printing of a 12x12 final book.

Assuming that the finished book is A-OK-there is no reason to believe that it won’t be-it is off to the races.
