It's easier than ever to get a good digital photo onto your computer, but then what?
What are people doing to get the best prints possible from their photographic/creative efforts?
Are you printing from home with all Name Brand ink/paper? Meaning, stick with OEM inks, OEM papers, and rely on their color matching? (I've done this for years, but....)
Are you using other inks, other papers, and doing your own print/color calibration?
Or somewhere between, OEM inks, but name brand papers with download able ICM profiles to help you match up?
Or do you do you own color matching/profiling for every type of media you print to that is not OEM?
I'm asking because I've just upgraded printers and am noticing some different results right away compared to what I was used to with my old setup.
Lastly, have you ever done the best setup you can at home, then also send out the same image to be printed by one of the big online shops, or even your local Ritz and compared results? How did you do? How do they do?
Just curious to hear what different people are doing with their "best" prints. Stuff you show off or print for customers...
