Before you edit your photos that you want to print, you should definitely calibrate your monitor! Without calibration, your printing results will most likely be a hit and miss game.

The final part is the actual print workflow by setting your printer up and loading the correct ICC profile into your printing program. One of the huge advantages of using high grade paper from Hahnemuehle is, that they supply you with the correct ICC profiles and a PDF with paper handling and printer setting suggestions. You can download all this on their website. And this is the key to getting a very high-grade of consistency in your printing workflow.

Hi,
I am really interested in printing and like to give it a try. I am wondering where you get a Pixma pro 100 for around 100€? Is this offer only in the US? I checkt checkt the price over the last month and just find a price around 300€? I would appreciate if you help me.

Hi Chris, I've found those prices on the B&H website and they add the discount into the price. The lowest price I saw the Pixma Pro 100 at B&H was for $80. But this seems to be Canon's strategy in the US as I have not seen them this cheap over here in Germany, yet.

Travis tould us, to start with 4 different images printed on a sheet of paper, to get knowledge which paper fits best to which kind of image.
but I have learnd, that you should make use of the ICC profiles for each paper and to correct the saturation of colors that wont be able to be reproduced on the specific paper.
Travis: How do you work with your test on image, when you print on different papers. Are you changing the saturation to fit it to the accourding paper, before you print?

I‘ve just ordered my first printer ans the glossy and matt test pack of Hahnemühle. I will do this test prints in he next week.

Hi Marc, the way I do it is to use the Hahnemuehle icc profile for the paper that I'm printing on. Make sure that you set that profile also insite the LR print module, too - not only in the proof mode. Then edit each images in the way that it looks good to you on the screen (given that you've calibrated your screen and brightnes).

On the printer side when the menu pops up make sure to use the settings that are recommended by Hahnemuehle for that specific paper. The PDF with the settings usually download at the same time when you download the icc profile.

Now print the images with the settings and take a look at what kind of images (landscape, color, portrait, etc.) give you the look that you desire. Now you can use this paper for these kinds of prints and try out other papers for a different look on those images that did not turn out the way you like.

I just listen to this episode, which was quite nice. You forgot to talk about the ink price. I am happy with an epson xp-950 (multipurpose printer that can print A3) and it costs me around 100€ to get the 6 inks kit. So, we you don't print often, I'm not sure it's interesting to own one. I also have nice paper (Ilford) that costs me around 1€ per sheet. but I'm happy with the result and don't really care about the price (currently).

I have one question regarding prints : I have a nice panorama (with Hugin) and don't know how to print it on multiple pages.

Thanks for your podcast.
Are you planning to go to Paris Photo in September ?
