For those of you into digital processing rather than sloshing chemicals about, I thought I'd just give you my first impressions of my very new inkjet printer - the Epson Stylus Photo. This differs from most of the opposition in using a five colour ink cartridge (plus black), and it certainly lives up to its claims of much subtler gradations in prints. It is, of course, designed specifically for photographic reproduction. Comparing some original Leica prints from my recent trip to BC, Canada with the inkjet output confirms that 'Leica warmth' has survived thru the digital mangle. It's reasonably fast too - a full A4 print takes about six minutes, and a 6"x4" less than two. Software is easy to install on a Mac out of the box, and you can choose between automatic colour balancing and a wide range of manual adjustment. Believe it works on PCs too. Anybody interested can find specs. on the Epson home page. No commercial connection - just very impressed.
