M8 Printed on Transparency
Not sure if this is correct place.. please move this if it isn't.
Being as I'm fairly new to this, I've printed some of my shots and been wholly disappointed by how they appear. Printing generally makes things 30% darker than what you see on screen, and relies on the reflective light around bouncing off the paper and into our eyeballs, invariably distorting the colours or making the field uneven depending on the rooms lightning conditions.
So here is an experiment printing to transparency from a commercial printer, which cost $27.50 for an A4 here in Byron Bay.
I'm quite pleased with the result. This kind of printing is normally used for night outdoor advertising but if I can find a bright enough lightbox frame that I can swap photos in/out of it would probably a neat solution for indoors wall viewing. The print itself is higher resolution than a typical computer screens lowly 72dpi so you get the best of both worlds.
