    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    Google's Picasa does 80-90% of what I need to do, quickly and intuitively. Easy to email an image from. Biggest complaint is the lack of some traditional right click functions, but they are doable from the menus on top. Limited printing templates. Irfanview for the quick look and a hundred...

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    I'm adverse to Adobe for a number of reasons, the most prominent being I utterly lack Adobe DNA. By that I mean, for me, the total opposite of intuitive. Nothing makes sense to me. This goes back almost 20 years. I just recently revisited Elements 8 that came with my Canon 9000. I can't...

    OBA or FWA good or bad? UV-cut or not?

    @Roy, I've suspected just what you say, but without actual proof or reading about it. I come across old bond and note paper because I live in The Verizzo Family Ancestral Estate, as I jokingly call this house of 55 years. And not one piece even very cheap paper is yellowed or falling apart.

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    Your rant stands on firm typographic ground, and I enjoyed it. Especially can appreciate your refusal to pay MS again. I don't see MS Comic Sans anywhere...........except in my informal letters. Hmmm...... Although I stick to one font per piece, no borders. For my text on photo prints, I...

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    YOU may want different border adjustments, I don't. Why you think a person needs the aforementioned programs is beyond me. As is your sense of modesty. This is 2015, not 1915.

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    I'm sure you are right, except...........as explained, some kind of bug about margins in WordPerfect. Yes, I know it is and I'm a dinosaur, but I've yet to find anything better for me. I won't pay the extortion fee to MS to legally use Word (overlooking the new Word online progams), and I find...

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    OK, but why would I want to spend big money and learn a whole new software to do what I do just fine in LibreOffice?

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    The Album function has a few very limited pre-made formats. Birthday, Wedding, stuff like that.

    OBA or FWA good or bad? UV-cut or not?

    Actually, Smile, very rarely. The only papers where inherent paper pH would play a role are ones not PE/resin coated. Yes, there are a lot of "art" papers out there, but I would like to believe that the Inkjet Press, Hannemuhls, Red Rivers have vetted the basic paper stocks. Non PE coated...

    No Difference in My Pigment Ink Fade Test.

    The South Florida Print Hades continues...... A "behind glass" batch is on the rack right now.

    How the thickness of paper affects printing

    A very interesting observation! You didn't mention the printer models. Are these "consumer" types with only the standard top/rear feed, or "pro" types with a single sheet only rear feed? 350 gsm is some fat cellulose!

    Colour fading in food dyes worse than in printer dyes

    I bought the high gamut PRO-100 version............

    Printer Test Images

    I haven't printed it. I just noticed while on the screen there were jaggies. I guess it doesn't really matter if they are there or not for this purpose.

    OBA or FWA good or bad? UV-cut or not?

    Yes, OBA's skew color perceptions with different lights. But are these "skews" outside of the auto-correction of the human eye? I doubt it. Like Fuji's Velvia that catered to the human brain by using increased saturation, OBA's do the same. We just sorta automatically love that very white...

    Technique for making prints with text and borders

    Maybe I reinvented the wheel here. As a step in promoting The Verizzo Family Photographic Estate www.vphotoestate.com , I wanted explanations, credit, and copyright information on the front. The actual image to be quite a bit smaller than the paper size. For instance, 6-7" on the long side...

    Printer Test Images

    Emulator, where can I download a good, full sized image of the PNG one? The one I did was like 260KB and showed jaggies on the monitor.

    Printer Test Images

    I first thought, "Why?" Then some of the comments, especially in regard color shifts and drying time establishment, well, that's cool. If a printer and it's ICC profile is as good as can reasonably be expected to translate from JPG/PNG, then whatever the monitor shows is the suspect party if...

    Pro 100 Quality setting

    As I was just reminded a few days ago! I printed to full 13x19 but wasn't particularly seeking high dpi. Banding. Oops.
