Sample text
The idea of the photographer dictating how their final print looks underlies my operating principle that each photographer should be the director of his or her final print. Just like the director of a play or movie, or the conductor of a symphony, each photographer should take control of the printing process so that each print embodies their artistic intent. The best way to do so is for a photographer to do his or her own printing, but the same principles also apply if a photographer is working with somebody else, whether a distant Internet-based printer or a local custom printmaker.
The advantages of electronic images, in terms of cost, availability, and flexibility, are just too overwhelming. Fewer and fewer people are likely going to want to buy or display an actual physical print and hang it on their wall. Fewer and fewer, however, does not equate to zero. I absolutely believe there will remain a passion and desire for physical fine art prints, just like there is such an interest in many other types of art (or other displaced technologies such as LP records for music) that were long ago considered outdated.
Printer Size The actual physical size of your printer, and the maximum size of print that you can make, are defined by the printer’s carriage width . Carriage width is the maximum width of paper that a printer can handle (printers with large carriage widths are often called large format printers) ( Figure 2-3 ). The maximum width essentially defines the short end of your maximum print size. A 13" printer, for example, can print on paper that is 13" on the short end, such as the commonly available 13" × 19" paper.
