All About Print Quality and More

Aside from the camera itself, when it comes to Fine Art reproduction, everything -- and I do mean everything -- speaks in a whisper from the mouth of a printer: quality doesn't need to shout, and it doesn't just happen on its own. Here is my beautiful workhorse, a 400-pound Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8000 professional printer, which uses world renowned Canon Lucia™ 12-color Archival Pigment Ink, permanent for 75+ years when, like all quality art, its images are not subjected to harsh or direct Sunlight.

The Printer

"MO", my sweetheart Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8000 44-inch Professional Printer. The print coming off is a 1:1 exact-size Premium Matte Canvas Limited Edition (artist's proof) print of my original 36x36" painting, Plant & Dresser. Here, it's being printed on 44-inch-wide Canon Canvas Paper with 4-inch borders. This is the same painting that won First Place, Painting at the prestigious Stockley Gardens Annual Ghent Arts Festival. Click here or the "About my Art" button on the navigation bar to the left for more information. The photo of the printer in action above was taken with a Canon 5d Mark II camera, in this instance, hand held in low light during the first ever printing session. Look at the detail circle below. Whenever I convert original artwork to image files I ALWAYS use controlled lighting and -- a TRIPOD! NEVER hand held. All indispensible tools of the trade. Truth is, if the original digital image is not captured perfectly in focus and properly exposed right off the bat, the subsequent fine art print reproduction process won't make it any better.

Here I am placing the first of 12 Lucia™ Pigment Ink cartridges

Amazing: Sure looks like an oil painting to me! Look at the size of those suckers. And they're the small size!

That's me. Yes. Sometimes I really do read the manual!
