Now that I’m back from a quick trip to photograph the Android Open conference, I’m getting everything ready to do the big print run of the iPhone at Macworld 2007 photo. That means tabulating spreadsheets, finalizing the print dimensions, and buying supplies. I’m also iterating through test prints to fine tune the image—tweaking contrast, sharpening, and more—for the paper I’ll be using until I’m happy with the result.
There’s nothing like hanging a print on the wall to judge it. From left to right, these are the 8½"×11", 13"×19", and 17"×22" prints hanging over my print area. That big beast, by the way, is the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 I’ll be using for this set of prints. The image sizes I’ve settled on are 6"×9", 10"×15", and 12"×18", respectively. This provides a generous margin for matting as well as allows display of the photograph in a frame without a mat.
I’ve probably got a few more rounds of test prints to go before everything is ready to go, but it’s close. Speaking of close, Friday—tomorrow here on the west coast, but today for those of you on the east coast and in Europe and Asia—is the last day to place an order.
