Have any of you you had any experience with replacing your D500 with with the D850 used in DX mode? From the videos I have watched the D850 actually produces as good or better images than the D500. Would like any first hand knowledge any of you might have. I know some on here stay locked and loaded to way in on any subject with only an opinion not based on actual experience. Please save it for someone else. Thanks


In DX mode you can shoot up to 30 fps. Get a good book on the D850. If I remember right it is "Mastering the Nikon D850. This is good for other things like shooting sports for the local paper.

Friends - I’d like an all purpose, workhorse of a printer for photos, nothing ultra-fancy or too expensive. What are my options under $350?


The pixma pro 10 is a good pigment ink printer that lists for $700. but can usually be found on sale for $350.
Plus when I bought one it came with 50 sheets of luster paper 19x13 for free, a list price of $100.

currently i am shooting with a Canon 6D MarkII. I like to have my photos enlarged and put on metal or acrylic. I am looking to have some really large sizes done 36Lx48H. The problem i am having is when photos are blown up to the size they become really pixelated and look terrible. What am i doing wrong? Is my camera just not suited for that large print. The last print Photo I took with my T3 Rebel and it prints to a 24x36 and doesnt look pixilated..


This is probably well known but here I go anyway. Any good quality sharp picture should be easy to enlarge.ON1 does a good job a little better than PS but PS does well and if using PS to enlarge for resample select preserve details 2.0 for the best results. I have no difficulty enlarging by 400%. With 27" on the long side this is plenty.

Ok I think 'Quality and Media' is media on a PC. But if I use the profile in photo paper I get a low quality picture. I have somehow managed to print with the proper profile in art papers and got good results but I have been unable to duplicate the process.

I do not select art paper the software does. If you look at my third image above it will not allow me to print without changing to art paper. I do not select art paper the software does.
Also I can not find - Quality and Media>Photo Papers>Matte Photo Paper


I can not find:
Open 'Printer', verify 'Quality and Media' has Matte Photo Paper, then Print.


Ok I found printer in the first image above but can not find 'Quality and Media' it may be on the preview page but I can't get there now because I am not near my printer.

OK. I don't use PS. I do use LR, (on a Mac) so I don't know if the print dialog is the same, but I'll try ...

This is, as I said, LRCC/Mac combo. It may or may not be similar to PS:

Open 'Page Setup', select Pro10, Paper Size A3+ (borderless or border but NOT "Art Paper Margin 30"), check OK

Open 'Print Settings', go to 'Layout'>Quality and Media>Photo Papers>Matte Photo Paper. DO NOT USE THE FINE ART dialog, or you'll repeat what has already occurred. Save

Open 'Printer', verify 'Quality and Media' has Matte Photo Paper, then Print.


IF YOU SELECT "ART PAPER MARGIN 30" YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PRINT "FULL OUT"!
--------------------

Using the dialog you show in screen shots, in the second shot, you *probably* you can get to the "...prevent abrasion" under "maintenance" following a similar dialog previously mentioned.

And in shot 3, get out of 'Art Paper, margin 30'.

IF you get to the 'prevent abrasion' screen, you *may* be able to use the "rear", or upper, tray. In my experience, anytime you check "art paper...", you *have* to use the manual tray.

Again, though, this is YMMV, because even though I use LRCC, I do not use PS, and do not know their print workflow.

Anyone else out there?

True, but it works!

The manual doesn't tell you how to get the 14x24 prints, either, but you can.

But, to use the thick stuff, open up the printer's menu, go to 'Settings>'Utility'>'Open Printer Utility'>'Custom Settings'>and check everything except Align Print Heads. The 'Prevent Paper Abrasion' button gives a smidgen more clearance - and I have run "Canvas" type papers through just to see if it works. In fact, I don't think I've ever turned the '…Abrasion' button off, even when I print plain, thin, crafting (i.e. origami) type papers.

By the way, do NOT use the not-too-flexible poster board or 2-ply mat board, you will be greatly disappointed.

And DO try art (as in acrylic/watercolor/oil, etc painting) papers. You'll get some "old-tyme" style results, or you can bump up the contrast and/or saturation. Don't be afraid to experiment.

(Another little trick: To help prevent paper curling on the edges, store the boxes 'upside down'. The paper goes through the unit soooo much easier when it's flat!)

The problem is the printer will not let me print on art paper except with a large margin leaving a small space for the image.

I ran into this when trying sample pack papers from Canson & Red River. I just picked a different paper type eg. , Matte .semi gloss, etc. No problems. You might need to burn a few sheets to get the right choice but.., part of the game. The only other work around is to purchase a larger printer & trim the paper to size.(or send it out for print) You could check jose rodriguize you tube channel & / or join his facebook group. Someone there should have a work around.


Are you saying that I might be able to print if I use non canon paper?

By art paper I mean all paper that shows up in the art paper section of the Pro 10 paper selection section.

What do you mean by "art" paper?

My main paper is a fairly thick and stiff 16.5mil/310gm Red River 'Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag' and I have yet to have an issue using the 'rear' tray. I have printed up to 425gm/18mil (and up to 14"x22") using the 'manual feed' tray.

So, perhaps I can be of assistance, or at least point you in the right direction.


If you are using a Pro 10 that paper is too thick or heavy according to the manual.

A little more clarification. I would like to print on Canon Photo Paper Pro Premium Matte 19x13 however the only way I can do this is with a large margin which really limits the available space.

I have a Canon Pro 10 printer and would like to print on art paper but the pro 10 has very limited ability to do so' If anyone has a work around for this problem please let me know. Thank you.

If you haven't tried this yet give it a try before you buy a new head. Soak it in a solution of 50% isopropl alcohol and 50% water. do this for 5 minutes, if this does not work soak it overnight.

The focal plane is a flat plane onto which the lens focuses its image. The film or digital sensor is located on this plane. This is where the term "focal plane shutter" gets its name -- the shutter is located just in front of the focal plane, as opposed to an in-lens shutter, which is located (not surprisingly) somewhere within the lens.

You are confusing terms.


As has already been mentioned the sensor is the focal plane.

Some Canon and Epson dye inks are estimated to last 100 years. They generally come with six-color (or more) photo printers. Dye inks produce brighter images than pigment inks, but don't last as long.

Pigment inks last from 100 to 400 years under the same conditions as dye inks. They come on the most expensive photo printers.

Dye ink printers are generally more reliable (fewer head clogs).

Conventional wet-process photo papers are good for 20 to 50 years under the same conditions... Some lab prints won't make it five years if they were processed without proper washing and stabilization treatment.

Do not use common office printers to make photos you want to keep longer than five years. Off-brands tend to be short-lived when displayed in room light or (worse) sunlight. We once had an HP home printer. My wife bought the cheapest off-brand inks she could find from a strip mall refiller. A print she tacked to her office bulletin board under daylight fluorescent tubes lasted about three months before fading. The same image, printed on an Epson with Claria ink, looked new after a year.

Thanks, which type do you think gives better looking prints?
