Amazing what one photo can do....

[shesells]

Brian, how did it look on paper? I was just wondering if it could possible look as good as it does here. I'm surprized you haven't advertized your stuff, it's amazing and if you're work doesn't have a market, no ones does. You mentioned getting the 2200. Isn't that the same process as the R300? Won't prints last the same amount of time. It's ink jet right? Well, try those links of Kelly's and let us all know. Your work should be shown in my opinion. Maybe you could set up a show in your town.Yes, you could get them printed like Hodgy said and charge accordingly.

Yes the 2200 is also an ink jet, but it uses Ultrachrome pigment inks - the longevity of the print is determined by the ink/paper combination. The longevity for the Ultrachrome/Premium Glossy Photo combo is 85 years. I think the max for the Ultrachome is 108 years with one of the matte papers.

I'm thinking of purchasing the 2200 so that's good news. I have read a few reviews that are not positive, so I'm stalling till I hear more. I currently have the 1270 so time to upgrade.

Nice shot - great light! I guess I'm with Hodgy about the custom lab thing. I don't own a printer and send my stuff out - the number of prints that I do isn't enough to justify a 2200, and from past experience you really need to use it if you've got it. An 8x10 might run from $2 to $6 at a lab and they're probably using high end equipment. Get a couple prints from other places and compare the results.

For pricing, you might also want to go to local art fairs to see what other people are charging. Sure, it's not the best business plan - to copy someone else's prices - but look at what a few others are charging and you'll get an idea of what you can get away with. Are you going to matt and mount the prints?

Like I told Hodgy, I'm defintiely going to see what a lab can do, but I will be buying the 2200 (or comparable) for sure. I'll keep it busy.
I don't have any plans to matt and mount the prints. I want to deliver them in a professional manner, but I coudn't afford the up front costs of doing that, at this time anyway.

They look even better printed. A computer monitor cannot come close to a printed image when it comes to sharpness and detail. As for the printer question, Mig answered that for me. Thanks Mig!! ;)
