New Epson Complete Guide to Digital Printing

I've been printing as long as printers have been decent; back to the Epson 785. The 785 was followed by a series of Canon's top of the line Pro printers which took printing to a new level for me. I still use Canon printers and an Epson 3880. The point being, I print a lot and I know how to get a good print. Stress often rears it's head sometimes while trying to match my prints to the monitor. Color Monkey, Spyder, One Eye... Rob Shepard took some of the stress out of printing for me with one simple thought. An awesome print doesn't always have to match the monitor. Really.

Not exactly what I was looking for but still packed with info on my printer. Clear concise pictures and guide help a lot

I appreciate Rob Shepherd's simplified approach. This is a practicle guide on workflow for printing that I found immediately useful. It's good for both beginners and for more experienced photographers who print their own work.

If a book or magazine is written by Rob Sheppard, it will be very good. He has a way of making the complex side of photography seem easy. His ideas work for ordinary folks like me. I was headed off to Ireland for three weeks and ordered this book this guide to read on the "red eye". I have an Epson R2880 and get good results. However, there are times when what I want to do is NOT what the printer wants to do. In those cases, the printer ALWAYS wins. After reading the book and returning home, the printer and I have reached an agreement and it now does what I want with GREAT results. Thanks to Rob Sheppard for taking the time to write the answer to the dozens of questions that all of us have when printing photos. New Epson Complete Guide to Digital Printing

This book had little useful information. The first four or so chapters tell you to start with a good digital image. Well no kidding. There is limited info on managing color profiles, how to set up printing, how to decide between printer managing color or managing from photo editing software, etc. from a logical step by step approach. Good for the beginner but not if you want to set up a true light room and get exhibition quality prints.

An excellent entry to digital printing on Epson printers. Gives an easy to follow process providing an understanding of the variables of inkjet printing.

Useless and superficial, filled with generic information. Not technical or useful for printing or troubleshooting. Save your money. Use a good Google search instead. I am very dissapointed.

A tad dated and too Photoshop-skewed for my liking, but contains good advice and useful hints.

un bel libro, fatto bene, chiaro e esaustivo, pieno di spunti di riflessione ed utilissimo per cominciare ad approfondire il discorso della stampa...

Those who send their shots away for commercial sites to murder/perfect are snappers rather than photographers. The skill in post-shoot processing absolutely makes or breaks an image. In the days of film, no serious photographer would surrender the developing & printing processes to someone else (who has no idea or knowledge of what the photographer tried to capture). Whilst this is Epson based, there is loads of generic good practice/information. Written for adults, it presents advanced concepts in a manner that makes it easy to grasp the concepts and issues. Has none of the padded off-subject waffle found in most photography books (which camera/software the author uses/recommends - appalling puns and lame jokes etc) Should be compulsory reading for all photographers.

I was hoping for a lot more advice and technical details. Far too much of the book is spent on what makes a good photo and, only incidentally, a good photo for printing. That's fine, but that topic is covered far better in many other books. When it come to actual printing this book contains not much more that the printer manuals. I have a hard time understanding who this book is aimed at. My advice is to stick to the manual or, better yet, get a book like Martin Evening's Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers , which covers printing in much greater detail.

Acquisto totalmente inutile. I contenuti sono un condensato di banalità e ovvietà. Livello di approfondimento: zero. Decisamente sotto il livello minimo accettabile per un pubblicazione che promette di essere un manuale per la stampa digitale, specificamente dedicato ai prodotti Epson. Il libro è stato restituito. Un ringraziamento ad Amazon.it che permette questi ravvedimenti.
