Seems like everything is going digital these days. For us, you just can't beat film, slide film that is. I have not seen a digital camera (at least one that I can afford) that can reproduce the colors and shadows that film can. Where we do differ is once the photo is taken we then digitize it on Nikons newest high density scanners. We shoot both 35 millimeter and 4x5 inch field cameras. My 1950s Pacemaker Speed Graphic is still a great camera. I would not part with it for anything. The duct tape not only holds parts of it together it gives it that personal look. The only difference is that I do use new Nikon lens with it. PRINTING: We use both the Epson Stylus® Photo R2400 for smaller
prints and the Epson Stylus® Pro 4800 plotter for larger prints. These r With its expanded ink set, these printers ensures a wider color gamut and superior midtones, highlights, neutrals and shadow details making it ideal for professional quality prints. With their Black, Light Black and Light-Light Black inks, we can easily achieve amazing black and white prints. And, since the inks are pigment-based, they deliver fade-resistant works of art that stay brilliant for up to 108 years in color and over 200 years in black and white.¹ The Epson Stylus® Photo R2400 delivers studio quality
results on virtually any artistic media. Three convenient paper paths support
matte, glossy, canvas, roll, posterboard, and many artist papers, so it's easy
to expand your creativity. And, with its powerful production speeds, the Epson
Stylus Photo R2400 lets you create brilliant displays in no time at all, and
quickly move on to your next show-stopping exhibit. PRINTING PAPERS: We only use EPSON made inkjet printer papers. An inkjet
print is the product of a closely interrelated system of printer, ink and paper
working together. Epson does extensive research during all stages of product
development to optimize this system to ensure high levels of both image quality
and print permanence. Products from third parties labeled as "compatible with"
or "suitable for" are often one-size-fits-all claims that rely only on the
lowest common denominator. While there may be certain combinations of third
party ink and paper that yield acceptable results on certain printers, there are
numerous examples of prints made with combinations of ink and media that will
produce poor image quality and/or lead to print fading in only a few years.
