I remember ordering cibachromes with longer lifetime expectancy than myself. These days I have less delusions about the legacy factor of my images. :-D Jostein Den 7. mars 2016 08.23.18 CET, skrev mike wilson : >As we're having an opinion-fest.. > >My experience

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

As we're having an opinion-fest.. My experience has been that inkjet prints are much easier to produce to an (at least) adequate level of quality. I would guess that the effort required to produce the equivalent of a highest-grade optical print is less than an order of magnitude different.

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

Costco offer a number of different print options, but you can still get RA4 C-prints up to 12x18 (and if the operator knows what he's doing 12x36 panos). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You think inkjet prints are better. I don't. On 3/6/2016 2:48 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Costco

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

Costco prints are inkjet. Most stores print on Epson 7880. Some are Noritsu. Not many shops print optically any more. In my opinion, inkjet are better. Paul > On Mar 6, 2016, at 2:11 PM, John wrote: > > On 3/6/2016 12:30 PM, mike wilson wrote: >>> On 06 March 2016 at

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

Thanks Mike. Fortunately Google-Fu is my superpower, so have turned up some interesting things to investigate. The idea of layering two less dense laser transparencies (carefully registering them) opens up some possibilities (although the downside is using obviously more transparency material). I

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

Urgh... you're asking me to _remember_ something? It's a very long time ago but I think I used one of the "artistic" filters in PS to pick up the edges of an image, turned that into a negative as it made the edges light against a black background before reversal, and then printed that onto the

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

Mike, I'd love to have some links on how to do digital negatives for cyanotypes on LASER printers. Didn't know that was possible. I've got access to good laser printers at work (including a copier that can do 11x17) and I've got a Liquid Cyanotype kit from Photographer's Formulary sitting here

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

I tend to agree with you Mike. With the prices at places like sharpprints.com I find it hard to justify the expense of an inkjet. In many cases you are going to have to gamble on $100 or more for a set of ink just to see what you've got. I'm in that position right now with an old Epson R800. It

Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

This is a side discussion to Ann's purchase of a lightly used R2400. I agreed with Mike Wilson's caution, but not necessarily his view of "Irrecoverably". Using Epson's print head cleaning utility is guaranteed to use up a lot of ink, if not actually unclog the print head. I like (much better)
