 Canon EOS 10D, 600/f4 IS, gitzo 1548/1381/wimberley head. Manual exposure mode f7.1, 1/1000, iso 200, AWB. RAW image processed in Capture One; sharpened in Photoshop CS; full frame. I’ve been using this image to test the new Epson R1800 printer so I thought I might as well post it, together with my thoughts on the printer; I have been using an Epson 1290 until now. The R1800 is a bit larger than the 1290; in operation it is much, much quicker and virtually silent – all plus points over the older model. I’m a little disappointed with some aspects of its performance, however. Blue tones were always a bit of a problem on the 1290, which always had a bit too much magenta present. This aspect has been improved in R1800 – in addition to the CYMB colours, the R1800 has a blue cartridge and a red cartridge. The disappointing aspect of the R1800 is the more restricted range of tones at the extremes - the blacks and the whites. There is a significantly greater range of tones in the underwing of the gannet and in the black parts of the primaries when this image is printed on the old 1290 than there is when it is printed using the R1800, even using the new R1800 driver and profiles released last week. Photography – its always a compromise. Phil Shaw
