What COULD be next?<<<<< Austin old buddy, That bad eh ? ;-) Well I've been doing some neat things with the Epson Photo750 ( well OK I thought they were.) ;-) which has quite amazed me, so this old dog whose getting older faster by the minute thought I might like to try a serious run with new technology in case they don't have it on the other side of the Pearly gates. ;-). Certainly after seeing Tina's and BD's wonderful prints last year in Boston and at the seminar, my curiosity was peeked to maybe give it a try. The final straw was the receipt of a John Brownlow Piezo print, one of his wonderful "Human Traffic" photos shot in London. That finally triggered me into playing with the Epson printer and PhotoShop to make B&W prints. So in a couple weeks we'll go bigger printer with Piezo inks and I'll find out if I'm right or wrong. If I'm wrong ,then I'll have a printer to sell and a lesson learned, but at the moment I feel very positive about the move. However, be assured the wet darkroom wont be dismantled for a very longtime yet! ;-) Relax Austin, as I've got hypo in my veins and developer on the brain so I just couldn't walk away from it after 51 years of hands in the soup with prints! :-) As far as being in Boston this year? Unfortunately we wont be through your fair city as the Leica Seminar is held in Kennebunkport, Maine and we fly into and out of Portland. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - ----- Original Message ----- From: "" <darkroom@ix.netcom.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 4:03 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] Piezo printing > > > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Ted Grant > > > I am about to switch over to a larger Epson > > printer and Piezo inks in a couple weeks > > > Next thing, Jim will get into Piezo printing...I've got to check out my > window to see if there are any pigs flying by... > > Call the medics...help, I can't get up...this may take DAYS to recover > from... > > > when I return from the Leica > > Seminar. > > Will you be in the neighborhood? > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html > - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
