Advertisement Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here New Epson P807 ready to go. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest Posted September 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2015 Hi Neil With a bit of care you will quickly have acceptable prints, pos a bit hit and miss at first and a fair amount if not all your sample paper "in the bin" . However a print on the wall is what it is all about to many of us. I would suggest you calibrate your monitor and printer . Life becomes a lot easier and to start with have a look at a ColorMunki Photo. Your epson driver has already installed Epson colour profiles in your computer. You will be able to make your own profiles with a colourmunki but the Epson ones are pretty good so for the time being just get the colour you see on the screen and coming out of the printer the same or at least close.If you have connected your printer via WiFi reconnect using a USB cable.I assume you are printing using raw files so definitely no WiFi just to be sure. You will soon find a work flow that works for yourself. BrianP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted September 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2015 Is the printer's wifi connection only for use by the restricted AirPrint driver? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianP Brian I have been waiting a while now for a new Ezio monitor so hopefully that will arrive soon and I believe that has its own calibration The few prints that I printed off yesterday looked fine but not 100% as seen on my Mac Pro monitor.....having fun learning new tricks though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted September 16, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 16, 2015 Get Jeff Schewe books, The Digital Negative, and The Digital Print. And consider Scott Kelby and/or Martin Evening books (LR, PS) as reference. Watch Julieanne Kost free LR videos. Read this... http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/reviews/printer/epson-sc_p800_review.html Read this old FAQ on the 3800.... http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3800/faq.html Might provide some ideas to explore...I don't use much of this advice, but it provided some useful info. Get the basics down first (read the manual) and experiment.... a lot....then you can consider custom profiles, RIPs, viewing booths, ink and paper options, display options (matting, glass and framing, lighting), etc. The whole workflow counts.

Guest Posted September 17, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 17, 2015 Hi Neil Which monitor have you ordered. I am toying with buying an Eizo and using a Mini Mac. I was about to place an order for the Hi Def 27 ins iMac but I am still undecided on which way to go.The mini mac bit is the ?. Can not see the point in my case of the Mac Pro.

Can not see the point in my case of the Mac Pro. BrianP Brian I ordered the Eizo and use it with a 2012 Mac Pro. I like the fact that you can upgrade the 2012 Mac Pro which I recently did buy adding 16 TB of internal hard drive space plus 4 x USB 3 slots. My current monitor is the Mac 27" monitor but decided to get the Eizo due to recommendations from fellow photographers........I do like my Mac monitor and the iMac also looks sweet but looking at what I have printed up to now with my new printer the output is very nice but not the same as what I am looking at on my monitor.
