Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads
As we're having an opinion-fest.. My experience has been that inkjet prints are much easier to produce to an (at least) adequate level of quality. I would guess that the effort required to produce the equivalent of a highest-grade optical print is less than an order of magnitude different. The really big difference is when multiple copies of a print are required. The jury is still out on equivalence of durability, although modern inkjets are likely to be better than early mass-printing colour processes. > On 06 March 2016 at 20:53 John wrote: > > > Costco offer a number of different print options, but you can still get > RA4 C-prints up to 12x18 (and if the operator knows what he's doing > 12x36 panos). > > Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

The treasures you find while going through boxes...
A modest discovery today... While going through boxes (trying to find my Gossen Luna Pro F) I discovered a minty (still in snap case) Pentax AF240FT flash. This apparently came in an SF1 kit (that was probably purchased for the F50 f/1.7 lens) Some googling reveals that people used these with Pentax DSLRs and one source: http://dpanswers.com/roztr/volt_finder.php shows that it has a trigger voltage of only 2.7v The manual with specs is here: http://www.go-gddq.com/down/2011-04/11042113228781.pdf It seems to be prized especially for its AF Spot Beam Will have to give it a try. It is a LOT smaller and less weight than my (admittedly more powerful/versatile) Metz 58 af-1. -- “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I’ve had my new Epson V600 scanner for a few months now, and ironically I’ve been using it more for document scanning than film. But today I’ve stole some time to try it out on some color film. This was taken with my Pentax MX, and along the film edge it says Kodak Safety Film 5035. Anyone have any idea what that means? If I once knew, I’ve long since forgotten. Of this series, this has always been my favorite. I did some dust removal, but I can see more work needs to be done. Also, does it look like theres a bit of a blue color cast to it? Or does it look ok to you guys? Scanning quality doesn’t look too shabby for a $200 scanner, though if the expertise of the list says otherwise, I’m willing to be schooled.

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads
Costco offer a number of different print options, but you can still get RA4 C-prints up to 12x18 (and if the operator knows what he's doing 12x36 panos). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You think inkjet prints are better. I don't. On 3/6/2016 2:48 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Costco prints are inkjet. Most stores print on Epson 7880. Some are Noritsu.

B&W Film Developer Master's Class
This may be of interest to only a few, but I pass it along anyway... If you want a "Master's Class" in B&W film developers, you have to get a copy of the 1998 "The Film Developing Cookbook". WOW. Just received my copy and it is a well-organized, easy read on the various families of developers, what they are best at as well as the formulas to make your own. There are also chapters on Films (obviously dated), Developer ingredients, Development Procedures, and After Development Processes: Stop Baths, Fixers, Washing. The book has "three special emphases: how to use different developers to achieve a wide range of pictorial effects, how to mix and use solutions from scratch (and how to create new ones), and how to process film for maximum archival permanance." "Much of the information in this book have never been published before." A quick perusal allows me to say that this includes a formula for HC-110 gleaned from its 1971 Patent information. (However, convenient, versatile and economical as HC-110 may be "it produces coarser grain than D-76, and is not as sharp as many high acutance developers." Page 67 contains Edwal formulas, including Edwal Super 20: "The official formula for Super 20 has never before been published, though several popular authors have (incorrectly) claimed to know it." The book was begun as a response to difficulty people had getting good images from Kodak's Tmax film. (I have about 13 36-exposure rolls of Tmax 100 in inventory.) If you are interested in B&W film developing, I can't recommend it highly enough. -- “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” ― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - the one that flickr picked
A stark reminder of a terrible business. Just a rusting hulk in 2009 I presume? My maternal grandfather (Swedish) was a marine engineer with the old Union Whaling Company which operated from Durban. He spent about 7 months each year in Antarctica. There were many photos in his albums of whale catchers like that, crows-nest, harpoon gun and all. Some were used as sub chasers along the Natal coast by the SA navy during WW2. My father was on the T33 when it ran aground at the Umgeni river mouth in 1942 during a gale. Whaling operations ceased in 1953.

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads
Thanks Mike. Fortunately Google-Fu is my superpower, so have turned up some interesting things to investigate. The idea of layering two less dense laser transparencies (carefully registering them) opens up some possibilities (although the downside is using obviously more transparency material).

Urgh... you're asking me to _remember_ something? It's a very long time ago but I think I used one of the "artistic" filters in PS to pick up the edges of an image, turned that into a negative as it made the edges light against a black background before reversal, and then printed that onto the film. This gave a predominantly blue background with a white image. It was only for a class on photochemistry, so the quality of the image wasn't important to anyone but me.

Re: Q about flickr
It is a secret how it works, so people don't game the system, but my sense is that Flickr has a special stream set up for Explore moderators to view. The photos included in that stream are those that get a lot of favorites/to views ratio. More immediate reactions and time of day (or day of week) can also enter into it. But I think a human moderator picks from that stream (and probably has a certain number of votes per day that each moderator can use). There may even be a Super Moderator that looks at the lower moderator's choices and picks from them. (These are all just guesses). But once you are in Explore you are in a stream that a LOT of people look at. You'll find a lot of people will favorite, but few will comment (based upon my experience). That made me realize that a photo that people take the time/effort to COMMENT on is probably better than one that people just favorite. But it is still an honor and a nice way to indicate which photos might be saleable (resonate with the public). Would you mind sharing the link to your Explored image?

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads
Mike, I'd love to have some links on how to do digital negatives for cyanotypes on LASER printers. Didn't know that was possible. I've got access to good laser printers at work (including a copier that can do 11x17) and I've got a Liquid Cyanotype kit from Photographer's Formulary sitting here itching to do some watercolor paper cyanotypes of a particular digital image that I have. I've got a pack of transparency material also. Thanks in advance!

Re: Q about flickr
Thanks Darren! You're right. There was something about explore. Is that some kind of curated photostream?

Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads
I tend to agree with you Mike. With the prices at places like sharpprints.com I find it hard to justify the expense of an inkjet. In many cases you are going to have to gamble on $100 or more for a set of ink just to see what you've got. I'm in that position right now with an old Epson R800. It was given to me and I assume there will be heads clogged (which is why I'm researching). I'm mostly interested in using it to print on overhead transparency material to make digital negatives for contact printing/alternative processing. I think I remember seeing a process that will allow you to use only three black/grey inks (that you can put in any three working positions on your printer (forget the clogged ones)... so may try that approach if I can't get all of them unplugged. If I can learn the transparency digital negative technique, I might think about a wide format printer for the same purpose, down the road.
