The most
important i
part of
the t photographic
process is...
The Print!
Certainly, in the mechanical
process of making a digital ppr
rint,
th the feel e ing of “magic” isn’t thhe

sa s me m as s it was when we werr

a lo lot t of excitement watching a
pr p in int t he head a moving back and

to express my unique artistic
signature. Look for papers
with an A++ rating on our inkjet
