PRINTER: I print with Canon PRO-1000 (southern hemisphere site) or Canon PRO-1100 (northern hemisphere site); although the differences are subtle, quality is better with PRO-1100, the newer version.

PAPER: I exclusively use Hahnemühle FineArt inkjet papers, and order supplies direct from Hahnemühle in Germany. After much experimentation, the papers I use, depending on the image and the artistic style I wish to create, are:

Hemp Gloss Baryta

Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth

Museum Etching

PRINT SIZE AND BORDERS: After much experimentation, I print on A3+ size paper, with a white border of 30mm, surrounded by a black border of 20mm using the Adobe Photoshop plug-in, MBP Fine art Border Tools.

PROTECTION: I protect the prints with Hahnemühle Protective Spray

MOUNTING: I mount the prints on 5mm thick adhesive white foamboard with aluminium reinforcement – the outcome looking like a framed photograph.

HAHNEMÜHLE FINEART INKJET LINEN ALBUM: I am also experimenting with the Hahnemühle FineArt Inkjet linen album, A3 size, using 20 pages of Photo Rag® Satin for black & white images and 20 pages of Photo Rag® Pearl for colour images.

BOOKWRIGHT by BLURB: I have also been experimenting with publishing an album with BLURB, large landscape on Mohawk proPhoto Pearl paper.  The book can be improved.
