Interesting to compare them to Tod Gangler's floral prints. Beautiful. Interesting to compare them to Tod Gangler’s floral prints.

Queen on her thrown. Suppose I should comment on post content. Instead I write about Lulu. This is why YOU print and I pay! :) Oh Lulu you command the place as you should! Queen on her thrown.

]]> Comment on Mel Curtis- “Body Works” at Sisko Gallery by dennishermanson http://www.custom-digital.com/2011/06/mel-curtis-body-works-at-sisko-gallery/#comment-2078 dennishermanson Mon, 08 Aug 2011 21:09:19 +0000 http://www.custom-digital.com/?p=1209#comment-2078 I like these images very much, and appreciate that you have put them up for us fellow artists and art photographers to enjoy. I also could wish (and will persue) getting some of my best printed at the sweet size of 35x 46" or thereabouts. That's perfect for smaller gallery shows and real client needs. The museum size is great if you are wealthy or require vast cimema imagery appreciation (yeah, like Andreas Gursky) but most of us live in the real world. I especially was drawn to your word of painterly, since my own imagery is photographic/blur internal to the photo/photoshoped... often with blank areas that I hand color or draw/paint into. I wish Mel good luck with these. They are certainly intimate and erotically appealing without being anywhere near appalling.

However there are always tradeoffs and these procedures allow the user to maximize performance in all areas, dottiness, resolution, linearity, neutral axis performance accuracy, etc etc. One must often weigh these factors and others against each other accordingly for different media. An obvious example would be recent ink setups for uncoated Arches Cover, selecting dot sizes, light link limits, individual color ink limits, total ink limit, and of course each of those channels perfectly linearized over which a superlative profile can be made... all this allows for an unusual but beautiful print process on a very pleasing media for suitable for particular work. This would be impossible using the OEM driver. I could not say there is a single most significant advantage, other than putting every aspect of how ink goes down into the hands of the user. For many the learning curve would far outweigh the individual's needs. But for a printmaker it's great stuff.

Makes my head hurt just thinking about it. I vividly recall spending excruciating weeks trying to build a usable profile for an Epson 2000p, back in the digital stone age, with its horrid metameric failure. What's the biggest benefit of such precision in color management and ink limiting? Greater relative color accuracy, or pushing the limits of the gamut map a little further outward? Wow.
