Print testing

New prints in making. Strips of test printout laid over originals (and in a couple cases, previously calibrated printouts) for color matching by eye.

There is no other way to achieve color fidelity. No matter how good the hardware is, in the end you have to test the actual printout - and tweak, tweak, tweak. You can see my notes on the test strips, specifying what needs to be done to the spot colors and the source images overall.

Primary colors

The pink of sakura flowers is precisely the same pink of spring kimono fabric.

We also have all primaries - red, green and blue - here.

Modern art

Photographs of  incidental urban textures. Celebrated modern art icons. Sheer brilliance.
