Daughter's coming back from Japan with 100s of photos & is looking for portable photo printer. I've been out of the printing biz for ~20+ years so I'm reaching out here for recs.

From her:
"I'm mainly looking for scrapbooking reasons, so small prints I can print multiple images onto one print(like 2-3 images on a 6"x4")".

Looking for something that could handle sticky-back & possibly archival stock.

Difficulty: No HP #printers if possible

I work with computers all day. After I started processing my 8x10 negs at home, I realized that doing post on my 8x10 was a lot like work. So I decided to try contact printing this week. My chemicals and paper arrived yesterday, but not my contact printer or safelight. So I borrowed same from @bosak and last night, after it got dark (no blackout curtains) I started printing.

This was the neg I started with:

The negative I decided to try to print.

Hey! I ordered two new frames for my #photos!
Not black but brown and one A4 and one A5 for the Windowsill directly next to my work place.

I think I'll re-print the a5 version a bit smaller 🤔. But the frames are really ace! The printed photos are great. But frames really add another level! 😍

The black frames look very stylish but also quite cool. The brown ones fit excellent to the nature photos.

A person holds a framed photograph featuring a scenic mountainous landscape. The image within the frame shows a rocky hiking trail surrounded by large stones and lush greenery, leading toward towering mountains beneath a partly cloudy sky. The indoor setting where the photo is held has a wooden floor and some indistinct objects in the background
A framed photograph capturing a peaceful countryside scene. A large, solitary tree stands in an open field, with a winding path leading towards a cluster of trees and a distant house. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner of the frame. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.

Good morning friends!
Yesterday two frames arrived and I put the latest #prints into. I was really really pleased by the result! ❤️

Just unfortunately, the peacock is a false print: The right frame is larger than the left. 😭 So I replaced it with an older print from my #pristineWinter collection.

It's really so much different from just looking at #photos on the phone. Totally worth the buy. And a great start into my Saturday 😊

Enjoy!

A picture frame is placed on a white surface in a room with a dominant color scheme of grey and white. The frame contains a photograph of a tree in a snowy field. A small plant is also visible in the room. The image is focused on the rectangular frame, which is large and encompasses most of the photo. The room appears to be indoors, indicating that the frame is likely hanging on a wall. The overall composition gives off an artistic vibe, with the frame serving as the focal point in the room.
In this image, we see a hand holding a picture frame. The picture frame is rectangular in shape and has a black dominant color, contrasting against a brown background. The frame is being held by a person indoors, standing on a floor. The scene also includes a vase and a painting in the background. The composition suggests a sense of art and creativity, with the focus on displaying a print within the frame. . Overall, the setting conveys a sense of sophistication and aesthetic appreciation.
A beautifully framed picture of a majestic peacock is displayed indoors. The image showcases the intricate details of the peacock's colorful feathers, with shades of grey and black dominating the background. The peacock, positioned prominently in the center of the frame, captures attention with its vibrant plumage. The painting exudes artistry and elegance, making it a captivating piece of decor. The peacock's image is the focal point of the composition, expertly captured in a close-up view that highlights its graceful form. This artwork is a stunning representation of nature's beauty, perfect for any art enthusiast or animal lover.

Ever heard the name Ottmar Mergenthaler?

His late 1800 invention: The #Linotype machine - literally made typesetting many 10x faster, leading to a printing revolution, especially for the newspaper industry.

Really worth watching documentary: youtube.com/watch?v=HUtJO59eKJ8

It for sure played a big role on spreading information and knowledge, accelerating all sorts of innovation. Including everything later becoming digital too.

Thanks Ottmar! #history #printing #typesetting

🎂 pdfimpose is 10 years old! How did it start?

I was visiting my sister in Switzerland, when we stumbled upon the "Atelier-Musée encre et plomb" ("Ink and Lead Workshop and Museum" encretplomb.ch/). It is an awesome printing museum: they have printing presses, from Gutenberg to the Linotype, and THEY USE THEM IN FRONT OF YOU! So you actually *see* their improvements over the centuries. There was also a part about binding, where they talked about imposition…

I don't understand why some print shops ask for sRGB source documents *without* providing a gamut limiting icc profile so you can see what the hell you are doing.

I get taking in sRGB files for non-vector printing. But without that gamut limiter you're guessing what kind of gamut narrowing will happen so you should still have access to an icc profile.

At least, in my opinion as a self-made expert 😅
