Spend a Saturday morning at Light Work and learn about fine art inkjet printing in this three-hour workshop with lab manager, Becky Marris. Participants should bring a selection of digital images on a hard drive that have already been retouched and corrected. We will discuss the different variables of printing before everyone chooses one of their own photos to focus on and carry through a full printing workflow, to ultimately make a 17×22 inch final print. From choosing a paper type, to learning color management and proofing your image, this workshop will give you the tools you need to start printing your artwork!
**Please note that file prep time during class will not include retouching, so please only bring files ready to be printed.
Compensation for participants who cancel will not be available.
