I printed 300 fine-art photos to learn these three lessons...

Today I share three BIG ideas about printing photos that I have learned from making over 300 prints of my landscape photography.

Your enthusiasm for printing your own work was one of the biggest reasons I purchased a Pro1000 and started printing my work. Best feeling in the world!

I would love a video of you reviewing how you took each photo and then what paper type you chose.

There is something so satisfying about seeing a print come out of the printer. A bit like when you develop an image from film and a dark room. Although that felt far more magical. I use some of my images to make cards that can be shared with people. A way of saying hello, you've been thought of and appreciated, a way of showing some care and love for that person. Or sharing in their moment of sadness too. It's a way of connecting.

At 12:43 you talk about the possibility that your great grandchild finding your work and that choked me up a bit!!

"Stop waiting". We love that! ❤ (Also that print at 6:09 🥳)

[AlphaSphere]

Wow, the fine adjustments you can make with the canon software is actually very impressive. I wonder if there is software out there like that for printers of any make and age.

I make my own frames. I made three today for some A2 prints. My mounting is all fully archival. I enjoy it as much as the photography and printing.

every time my printer (an old Canon Pro 10S) gets near to empty I say that's it, no more money on ink. and then I give in and buy more of the bloody stuff. it's a rip off I know, but what else can you do other than give up?

Adam. Great vlog as always. If Cannon paid you according to the number of printer sales ( my Pro300 included) your channel has prompted you would be a very rich man. My problem with loads of prints is that my walls are just not big enough!! Keep it up mate.

[NigelRoberts-en]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks. Feeling inspired so signed up to the workshop. My prints never look like the on screen image. Alas there was no apparent way to use your discount code though.

Any word on an update to the Canon Pro-1000? I want to pull the trigger but I’m hoping a new version is coming this year.

[billz]

Thanks for sharing, always enjoy.
Where can I find a similar Canon work shop in U.S. ?
Do you have a ratio preference?

[copisetic]

The one thing I found out was don’t print small, 3x2ft min.

[wellwhatthen]

All very good advice and i think that printing your own prints a has to be the best feeling ever but one thing that you forgetting is that not all of us can afford the out lay to get the pro model printers . in fact it is easier than having a small house printer as they can have ICC infor and you can get all the different types of paper from a large range of manufactures that informs you of the setting needed to get the correct colours. But there is never a video on how to get the best from a normal house or standard printer i have a pixma TS 8250 and i have never seen a video nore can i get any info from canon what are the best settings to use di i use the graphics card to print from. or do i use the screen calibration colours or do i use the canon colour codes. no info at all . and it is a lot of money to take a jump and get the Pro 300 or one of the other pro models just to try it out. I think not so if someone that nails their printing why don't they try using a cheaper model like most people have at home first. and when you say check this out here there is nothing up in the right hand corner of the screen to click on sorry but that does not work

[sunnymind]

Does Epson have a similar test pattern function?

[AR-vfvg]

13:09 strikes me how you're hiding in plain sight the data that ..whopsss 13:18 too late..!

[Hightower]

Purchased the Canon Pro 1000 having watched a few of your previous videos, it's sat in the box since August 23. 😂

[garyrowe]

I see how pattern printing shows you exactly how it will print, but that's not the only reason for having a profiled screen ... any editting you do on an unmanaged screen is hit-or-miss, and that can become very expensive very quickly, and stop you learming how to get it right first time.

Recently got my Epson P900 and I’m loving printing especially at the A2 or A3+ plus sizes although for the really nice paper at larger sizes you will feel it in the wallet haha .. but it is worth it.

Great video Adam and love the printing part of my workflow and interesting discussion near the end. I have a draft blog which discusses legacy and currently updating a part of it off the back of both my retirement from the fire service and a current family situation. Looking to see if I can attend Birmingham as it would be a pleasure to hear your presentation and other presenters too
