看了下面這段話其實很受啟發。。。照片都在拍，但是像我們這樣的能流傳的不多。不列印出來，這些圖片哪怕再好，也只是自己在電腦上看看，或者在網站上看一些被壓縮得不成樣子的小片。。。列印出來一者視覺效果不同，還可以通過送人等手法流傳出去。。。either embarrassing or admiring....
Over the years, we have printed dozens of these on a variety of Canon, Epson and HP 13x19 printers. But there's only two of them on display here. One framed and hanging on a wall, the other framed and standing in an easel. We flip through the stack of the rest of them once in a while for inspiration.
Mainly what we do is frame them and give them away.
That can be embarrassing, though. We found ourselves admiring one in the living room of a friend we hadn't seen in a while, wondering why it looked familiar. Did we know the artist? Why was that image so familiar? Uh, yes.
There are in fact, quite a few more of our 13x19s in circulation than we realize. When you print 13x19s, you aren't printing photos, you're making something else.
The thought occurs to us if there shouldn't be just one 13x19 printer in every family. Like there used to be one wagon or one television.
Or one artist.
Because when you get into big printing, your images are either going to scream at you or sing to you. If you know what you're doing behind the lens and at the keyboard, they're going to sing.
And you'll want to put them on that stage dressed in more than photo glossy. Suddenly your work can be printed on fine art paper. Fine art paper can be stock as heavy as a board, stock made of cotton rag, stock with texture, stock that's a warm creamy color instead of that bleached blue photo glossy look.
You may accidentally find just the right combination of image and paper support. Which is when you'll realize there are no 13x19 frames around.
Our Aug. 31, 2007 newsletter article "Framing a 13x19 Print" (and the Letters column in the next two issues) is full of advice, but the gist is to buy 18x24 inch frames and mats and have the mats cut with an opening of 12.75 x 18.75 inches for a 2-5/8 inch border all around.
So the truth is, big printing is a different kind of printing. One gorgeous print at a time, the paper carefully considered with a framing system you can live with. |
