301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques: An Essential Printing ... (ISBN 1598632043)

dstar:
Very well done book. With great detail. Just what everybody exactly need when work with photo printing

Sets the Standard:
This is an extraordinary book. Even as printing technology advances, it will remain the standard by which books on ink jet printing will be measured. If you are interested at all in printing photographs, you will benefit from Darlow's outstanding work. (PS - I now live in Corvallis, OR.)

Great Resource!:
I took a one day workshop with Andrew Darlow in August and found it very helpful. His book is a great resource for any photographer who wants to learn more about digital output. Too many of us have computers loaded with images begging to be printed. Andrew's workshop and companion book have given me the support I needed to try some things I never would have done on my own. I bought a new printer and I'm trying new fine art papers. The book also contains lots of general information such as putting together portfolios/albums, how to save ink, choosing appropriate lighting for proofing, etc. At first, I was borrowing the book from a friend, but I finally decided that it was well worth the price!

Awesome Book:
Terrific detail, no skimping on information. Well written so everyone can understand, beginners to experts.

A Geat Reference Book:
If you want to know everything about printing from ways to exhibit your work to printing over deckled paper edges, this 499 page book is for you. The link to Darlow's website for more information about specific issues is a great idea and easy to deal with. I did find myself skimming a lot of the book just to make myself aware of what was availbale for possibe future reference. For me, some of the chapters were esoteric and beyond what I can imagine ever doing, and that's why I see it as a reference book rather than a step-by-step printing book. Would I buy the book knowing what I know now after reading it? Probably. Would I recommend it to others? Maybe, depending on their needs. Is it an "essential printing resource for photograpers?" No, for the non professional; yes, for the professional.
