Hewlett-Packard DesignJet ColorPro GA

Article Abstract:

HP's $1,995 DesignJet Color Pro GA is a color inkjet printer designed for use by graphics professionals. The device can be used as a proofing printer or for printing short-run projects and samples. The printer will handle projects ranging from 4- by 6-inch cards to 13- by 19-inch two-page spreads. HP claims only 600dpi resolution for the printer, but its Real Life Imaging feature uses a stochastic screen with variable dot sizes to produce the equivalent of 1,200 dpi. The Color Pro GA is network-ready with built-in Internet connections and installation is easy. An $850 upgrade, the Imation Matchprint Inkjet system, produces proofs that simulate Imation Matchprint contract proofs.

Epson takes printing into the future

Epson America Inc's $899 Epson Stylus Photo 2000P is a color inkjet printer that employs a proprietary micropiezo printing system to extend both the life and quality level of printed materials. The new model is the first desktop printer to employ this new technique, which, according to Epson, creates prints that can last for up to 200 years. The printer has a relatively large footprint of 24 x 30 inches, and offers solid paper handling and color management capabilities.

Digital legacies: an efficient workflow can help preserve images for the long haul

Article Abstract:

Photographic film is fragile, and images on most media are susceptible to light exposure and moisture, although archival-quality paper and inks can last for 50 years or longer. Digital image archives can store images quickly and inexpensively, particularly since the advent of recordable CD-ROMs. CD-recordable disks have long lives and are based on a read technology that will likely be around for awhile. High-end digital archiving uses CD-recordable technology, high-resolution scanning and color control to store photographs and artwork safely and flexibly. PivotMedia worked with five colleges in New England to archive their art museum collections and make them available online to students, staff and, eventually, the public. The company first photographs and processes the collections as 4-by-5-inch color transparencies, then makes 80MB raw scans that are burned to a CD. The scans are saved as PC-format TIFF files with LZW compression.
