When I was in college I walked the outer cape beach from Eastham to Provincetown. Perhaps the most spectacular scene I saw was a view like this at Newcomb Hollow. This image is from a revisit to Newcomb Hollow many years later. But always spectacular. ~Robert
A note about printing: I’ve done darkroom and now digital printing since my college days. I know how to make a good print and I know what is my favorite print equipment. I know what are the good papers and the good inks.
A year ago I purchased a $200 Ecotank all in one printer by Epson (model 2800) - this is new territory for me, the other printers in my studio cost $2,000 and up.
I popped a sheet of my favorite coated card stock paper, 8.5x11, into the 2800 printer and out came an archival print of one of our calendar covers that is 99% of the quality I can print on the more expensive equipment.
The lesson I take away from this is “you can try this at home- and get a good print”. This means that my audience can make a print at home that I am happy to have shown as a piece of my work .
In principle any $200, or less, inkjet printer with color photo capability cab make a high quality print with this file using photo quality inkjet paper. All my experience is with matte paper, but if you prefer a gloss or satin finish this should do just fine as well
Instructions: print this file at 100% on 8.5×11 photo inkjet paper, cut it down neatly to 7×10 using the cut marks provided, fold, and you have a fine art note card.
note: any matte paper for photo inkjet will give excellent results. I always use matte, but glossy and satin should work, I just have no experience with them. For your reference and convenience here is a link to the amazon listing of a typical low cost photo inkjet paper that I have experience with. The output quality on my $200 dollar printer is SUPERB.
