Large Format Printing with Michael Gilbert

Learn the techniques for making large-scale digital prints, 40” or larger. This half-day class covers methods of creating high-resolution digital files, color management, roll papers, and archival printing on Canon printers. Participants discover how to maximize print quality, balance color, increase the dynamic tonal range, and preserve detail in shadows and highlights. For many artists and photographers, the scale of large prints creates a physical presence and an expressive power that you cannot achieve with smaller scale prints. See the unmatched quality of today's digital hardware and software for creating extremely high quality high-resolution prints from consumer scanners and mid-level cameras.
