Product Description
Today's digital cameras provide image data files allowing large-format output at high resolution. At the same time, printing technology has moved forward at an equally fast pace bringing us new inkjet systems capable of printing in high precision at a very fine resolution, providing an amazing tonality range and longtime stability of inks. Moreover, these systems are now affordable to the serious photographer. In the hands of knowledgeable and experienced photographers, these new inkjet printers can help create prints comparable to the highest quality darkroom prints on photographic paper. This book provides the necessary foundation for fine art printing: The understanding of color management, profiling, paper and inks. It demonstrates how to set up the printing workflow as it guides the reader step-by-step through this process from an image file to an outstanding fine art print.

 Fine Art Printing for Photographers October 30, 2008

IF I had never read any color management books in my life and IF the schools I attended did not address "how things print to paper" then this book would be ideal.
For the accomplished printer of anything having to do with "ink on paper" this book held no "extra" secrets.
I had expected a guide to the Art Community's use and acceptance of inkjet printing. Alas, no such luck.
I do believe "Geclee' was mentioned once, in passing but, not elaborated on.
As a basic color management book this is not bad.
 Almost There! Really impressive! July 26, 2008

After reading some excellent reviews from "Fine Art Printing" Uwe Steinmueller and Juergen Gulbins, I am truly convinced that this book must be seeing for those who really would like to learn, in low level, the best printing technics. But there were a important missing in this book. What are the best steps to preserv the best integrity from Raw files and them print.
If you in Lightroom and could send your Raw file directly to printer is one option. In second, you can choose edit in Lightroom and go thru Photoshop in TIFF convertion. And third way is export in DNG thru bridge and still in photoshop. So what is the best ways, aproaching printing resolution?
 Great Book for Detail Oriented Photographers! July 17, 2008
Great book with lots of good information, but I am a little perturbed with the lack of profiles, and information for people with a common printer that is a generation or two older. I have an Epson 4000 printer, and it is still going strong, and was also a very popular printer. The authors have chosen to skip these printers and go straight to the 3800 and 4800 printers instead. I wish they would go back at least a generation to help us out. I DON'T replace my printers EVERY time a new model comes out. I do so when the need arises--which often will mean I might skip a new model or two. I think that most people are the same!
Otherwise, I'd recommend this book highly.
Make Magic With An Inkjet!! June 20, 2008

The thing I love about niche books is that they stand out from all the others in the market. Nice books can be risky, being independent either the market is new or unknown and its kind of like throwing darts, not knowing whether you'll make a big hit or not when you toss that sharp projectile in the air. With 'Fine Art Printing for Photographers: Exhibition Quality Prints with Inkjet Printers' this is certainly a niche market, that being inkjet output for photography lovers. Does the dart find its mark or trail off, careening off the wall??
Bullseye!!
I think that this is a great book for professionals or hobbyist photographers that are looking to get the best quality hard copies of their work from a (much) cheaper alternative way of printing. From looking at different kinds of equipment to settings to sample images, this book does every kind of examination that I would want and does it well.
