Re: epson 2400

Yes, I believe you are right. And the ink may be drying out. When I want to have prints of my photo's. which is not very often, I use the internet services of the local shops which do it far better and probably cheaper than I can. Henk Op wo 22 mrt 2023 om 20:59 schreef Comcast : > I would guess

I would guess that the lousy colors are the result of mismatched calibration and/or letting the printer (rather than photoshop or Lightroom) control color. Paul > On Mar 22, 2023, at 3:40 PM, Henk Terhell wrote: > > Never had any luck with printers and I estimate their life time on my desk >

Never had any luck with printers and I estimate their life time on my desk is around 3 years. My current printer for about a year is an Epson 2410 which prints B/W OK, but has lousy colours. I just came across a new funny YouTube video 'Why Printers Are Designed To Fail: The Frustrating Truth'. H

That's fine, I don't terribly care that you don't look at them. I'm up to my asshole in storm damage, have no power or Internet at home, I hope you won't feel offended that I don't spend an hour and a half paying something on Flickr so you can see it . On March 22, 2023 8:29:27 AM PDT, Bob W

I did a mini portrait shoot on Sunday using the X-T5 and Viltrox 75/1.2 lens. I'm absolutely delighted with both this camera and lens. These were done with a single beauty dish using a wall to get some fill. The first was shot at f/2.8 https://flic.kr/p/2oorozf The second was shot at f4 https:/
