Overlooking necessities
It has become evident by my recent visits to various print labs and photography companies that every printer has a optimal profile and requires colour matching.
What this means is if you prepare your images using a stock Adobe RGB profile when it comes to sending this to a print lab take ‘The Print Space’ in Shoreditch, the colours which you think are perfect and exactly how u want them may vary to what you expected in the physical print, therefore being a waste of funds and time.
The way i have overcome this issue is rather simple and straight forward, find a trustworthy lab who offer such profiles free of charge and try them out. I have tried Print Space and have found that the colours produced in the profile they give you are exactly whats printed.
paper
When printing images for mounting at exhibition or for commissions, the sheer volume of paper choices is rather daunting. I purchased a test pack from Print Space offering the paper choices they have available.This allows me to quickly evaluate and judge which paper i feel will suit my image the best and show it off to its full potential. All these little things add up to a major difference when it comes to producing work at a professional standard.
