I am printing my first larger digital negatives today, 9x13.5 and 10x15 inch. I will probably print my 50 exhibition prints in this and slightly larger sizes. It seemed to work fine.
I ordered more Epson P800 inks x 2-$1296 CAD more platinum-palladium printing materials $800 CAD plus. Also got a new larger coating brush for $148 CAD.
Lots of money going into this platinum printing series (50 11x14ish framed and matted exhibition prints) for THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP and THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY but such is life! You gotta spend some money to make something beautiful. Platinum Prints might be the most beautiful way to print your b/w photographic work!
This will be a fun project to work on in my early retirement time, starting in March. I will of course continue the work on the wet plate project and am planning a trip to Southeast Asia as well.
Note* I meant to order only 1 set of Epson inks but instead ordered 2 by accident. Oh well, I will no doubt use up both sets pretty fast with all the digi neg work I am planning. Just need to find the money now, to pay for all this.
