Master Streamlined Digital Workflow & Inkjet Print

 

From RAW to hands-on inkjet printing. The Nikonians Academy concept for teaching digital workflow takes an easy, yet comprehensive, approach with two main goals. First, instead of "work" it makes it a streamlined, simplified, repeatable "no-pain, no-frustration" process. Second, it will lead you into elation as you see the prints you can make from your own images.

Since a good workflow is a big part of printing, we'll be showing off how you can use the latest RAW processing software to demonstrate time-proven methods for developing your images in the digital darkroom.

We are supplying wide-format printers, software and calibration tools for this one-day workshop in order to teach you how to set up your own computer system to achieve great prints. We’ll show you how to create a repeatable process that results in beautiful prints every time.

Since the best way to learn is by working in a hands-on environment from a knowledgeable instructor, we’ll have computers, printers and calibration systems setup to help teach the methods and approach for high-end workflow and printing. Our instructor will be working directly with you while you make your own prints on our professional inkjet printers.

Our printers will be wide-format inkjet systems capable of printing 13� x 19� fine art prints on a wide variety of papers at a resolution up to 4800 dpi. You will create gallery-quality photos and fine art prints with archivable, pigment-based inks.

Our calibration tools will be state-of-the-art to demonstrate LCD, CRT and laptop calibration.
