Printing Pictures

Yesterday evening I spent a couple of hours at my friend Scott’s studio having him help me print a few of my digital works. We printed them with his Epson printer on 13 x 19 inch hot press fine art paper. We were able to get two different sizes on the same page, a 10 x 10 inch and a 5 x 5 inch picture. We had to do a bit of fiddling with print and color settings before finally coming to a solution to get the colors right. It was as simple as using a slower print setting. They ended up printing beautifully.

Four printed digital paintings inspired by scenes of the California central coast and hills above Bakersfield..

First printing. The colors are not as rich and full as they should be. The greens appear more yellow than they should be. Although the blue water in this version is a nice color is not as rich and full as it should be.

Second and final printing using a slower print speed. The colors are richer and fuller. The greens and water colors are richer and more fuller as they are intended to be.
