Hi Gang,

I just got my new Epson 7800 in and boy is it a monster! The prints, however, are fantastic! Here's an image I took of the printer with my first print. The image was taken with a bounce flash...even so, see how well the print matches the image on my display. I calibrated my monitor wih the Eye-One Display system and am using the Moab Entrada Natural 300 mill paper with profile privided by Moab. I'm amazed at how well my monitor image matches the printed image. Just thought I'd share. :) Oh BTW...that's a 23" x 34.5" print.

PS...a big thank you to Mark for his helpful suggestions and advice on the printer, paper, and other stuff.

Cool, Mahesh! Isn't it great just to toss away twenty bucks just to see what a photo would look like printed big?

I use the 8.5x11 size paper for test prints and since the Entrada 300 is so thick, I can use on both sides.
Have fun with that baby, call if you need any help.

Thanks, guys!

Kevin...actually, I cleaned it up a bit before I took that picture. :)

Nice! :toast: Can I come over and play? :wink:

Hey, how much of your PS work is done with your Wacom?
Posted by Mahesh Thapa on June 7, 2006 at 2:50 PM
Curtis, sure you can come over. :)

I use the Wacom tablet a lot! As you can see, I have better access to it than to the keyboard...should tell you something. :)
