I spent the day making large prints of my images, and I have to say that it is really rewarding to see them blown up. It’s easy to forget that even today’s entry-level digital SLRs capture enough detail to make poster-sized prints, and looking at them on a monitor just isn’t the same — that is, unless you happen to be the lucky owner of a 30″ Cinema Display (which I am not). ;)
Having said that, inkjets and color are a pain in the ass. My system is color-calibrated very well (as much as it can be, without having my own RIP and printer profiler) and even I have problems getting blues to behave. grrr….

Just because I have been doing the whole calibrating/printing targets/display calibration/profiling thing in the last few days…I just had to comment. I borrowed an Eye-One Design and have been tuning up displays and inkjets (with multiple papers). So far its looking like the effort is going to be worth while since the customer profile for my epson 1280 is markedly wider than the bundled profile.
Maybe picking up a 30″ Cinema Display might also help the process out a bit..
I picked up the following book and it did help clear up some questions I had:
