Keep Your IJP Head Unclogged
I’ve been using an Epson R1800 for about 5 years with a CIS (constant ink supply) from InkJetFly.com and pigment inks from InkSupply.com on Calumet Brilliant Supreme Lustre paper. I love the rich colors and wide tonality of this combination. All my prints for public viewing are printed using this system. Here are several that were recently printed. Regular readers will recognize the middle photo as a winning entry in the 2010 San Diego Fair.
The only downside to most 3rd party inks is a tendency to clog Epson heads unless exercised every day. When I’m in the office, that’s not a problem because I can open the Epson printer controls and print a Nozzle Check pattern. However, when I travel, especially during the summer when the temperatures in my unoccupied office can reach 95°F, the heads tend to dry out and clog almost immediately.
In the past, I’ve used a witches brew of programs and tools to automatically print a test pattern every day. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. It certainly wasn’t for the faint of heart and keeping the program running was almost as much hassle as it was to unclog the heads. Now, there’s an (almost) painfree solution. Click to read more

Here’s What’s New at Strobist- On Assignment: Reed Quintet May 21, 2012I shoot a lot of individual artists for the Howard County Arts Council. But when Bassoonist Eddie Reed (center, above) asked if we could instead shoot his military reed quintet, I jumped at the chance. Really, how often do you get a chance to photograph a reed quintet? One condition: we'd have to do something cool, and with a little attitude… Read more […]
- Anatomy of a Project: Miller Mobley's Re-enactors May 21, 2012When I worked at The Sun, a lot of emphasis was put on always having multiple projects in the hopper. Self-generated projects are the lifeblood of any good paper, and they promote exploration and serendipity. Since I have gone out on my own, I can honestly say projects have the single most important vehicle for developing my photography. I always have at lea […]
