Conserving Color

Being able to print gallery quality prints at home is one of the many advantages of digital photography. There so many papers and ink combination's to choose from however I tend to get overwhelmed. The site that I tend to migrate to when I am thinking of trying new papers or inks its www.inkjetmall.com.

I was fortunate enough to attend a week long workshop with Jon Cone several years back. Not only is he a master printmaker he also has a black belt, is an excellent cook as well as down-to-earth and attentive to every question regardless of how mundane it feels like while asking.

The continuous inking system that he has pioneered is very environmentally friendly. You don't have to recycle used ink cartridges because you buy in bulk 8 or 16 ounce containers that you simply pour into your existing container. I have set this system up in labs before and though it looks like an octopus coming out of the ink cartridge area of your printer it works seamlessly.
