New Epson Complete Guide to Digital Printing

Like all individuals, printing is a hit & miss affair and a subjective subject as to what looks good or doesn't. Like artists you're rarely happy with the final printed result compared to what you have seen on the screen.Well, that was true until I read this book and finally upgraded to a screen that told me the truth about what I was really looking at.This book has made my life so much easier in the studio and my images come out every time, first time the way I envisaged.Soft Proofing on screen did not work for me before, but it does now and I don't waste money on paper or inks which were quiet frankly costing me a fortune. Even my Epson Inks are printing more pages than previously that how good a result I got from reading this book.More importantly I've made more sales of Prints than previously as well. So my advise is get out there, purchase, read and become a wiser & wealthier photographer.

I was hoping for a lot more advice and technical details. Far too much of the book is spent on what makes a good photo and, only incidentally, a good photo for printing. That's fine, but that topic is covered far better in many other books. When it come to actual printing this book contains not much more that the printer manuals. I have a hard time understanding who this book is aimed at. My advice is to stick to the manual or, better yet, get a book like Martin Evening's  Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers , which covers printing in much greater detail.

If a book or magazine is written by Rob Sheppard, it will be very good. He has a way of making the complex side of photography seem easy. His ideas work for ordinary folks like me. I was headed off to Ireland for three weeks and ordered this book this guide to read on the "red eye". I have an Epson R2880 and get good results. However, there are times when what I want to do is NOT what the printer wants to do. In those cases, the printer ALWAYS wins. After reading the book and returning home, the printer and I have reached an agreement and it now does what I want with GREAT results. Thanks to Rob Sheppard for taking the time to write the answer to the dozens of questions that all of us have when printing photos.

un bel libro, fatto bene, chiaro e esaustivo, pieno di spunti di riflessione ed utilissimo per cominciare ad approfondire il discorso della stampa...

Although this may sound odd as I have a Canon printer, this was a good purchase. I'm new to printing my own photos and it's not as easy as I thought, this is the dark art of photography. Surprisingly I couldn't find anything written about using a Canon printer. Rob Shepard writes about the principals of printing in an easy and relaxed way. Through reading this book, although it's aimed a Epson printers, I now understand more of the principals of printing and use it as a guide and hope it will help to improve my approach and attitude to printing.
