This was posted in another thread, but I think this thread is more suited.
Original post:
Hello,
I have recently bought a Canon IPF 8300 inkjet printer that will allow me to print 44" wide. Im a landscape photographer who is new to the process of printing/presenting work, and I seek advice.
I enjoy the work of artists like Peter Lik, Rodney Lough and Michael Fatali.
They mostly use halide process with Crystal Archive Paper, giving the prints an almost backlit sensation to them. Im trying to get as close as possible with this printer/my prints, and therefor Im seeking advice on the following:
1. What type of inkjet paper would you recommend me?
2. How should the prints be mounted, would you recommend behind glass, acrylic or without?
3. What machine will help me complete the "lamination" process of large prints up to 40x60". Am I looking at Dry Press, warm/cold or cold roll lamination?
4. What adhesive would be recommended to start with?
And I know this is the artists self interest to experiment and figure out the exact technique to present his prints. But I am a beginner in this field, so any advice at all would be greatly appreciated and would help me find my way in this vast field of equipment, products and styles.
Thank you very much!
