Hi Jon,
On a wall at home is the use I'm thinking about. Feeding them sRGB'ed
4-6 megapixel images and printing from 8-12 to A3 size in order to
frame. I'm not really looking for critically good quality (I doubt
anyone will take my images down from the wall and give them a good
hard look, or use a loupe) just want to get a general feel.
Very good response though, and I think I might look a bit further
afield..

Depends what you mean by quality Adam? if it is to be viewed from a
car as a billboard, or a wall at home, or in a portfolio? this is
proportional
to the resolution you have it printed at. Also what surface you
print it on. Is if photo lab quality stock, or other. Calibration
and white point are
other considerations, though with a Mac, you are generally pretty
safe with this. D65 is the standard gamma for quality photog output.
Ii regularly use Custom Colour and Chroma Copy/Churchills for my
photographic output and the quality is perfect, but it does depend
on what I
am going to use it for. This governs the quality. I often produce
billboard ads and prints for galleries where the viewing distances
can be from half
a meter to 20 meters away. Find out what system they use; Pegasus?
Light-jet, Lambda or other? they all have pros and cons!
Cheers
Jon

Hey all,
Does anyone have any experience printing large prints (8x12 up to
A1) of photos at Camera House Leederville? Just want to know what
people felt about quality etc.
