Epson is the company at the cutting edge of quality digital photo printing, and their superb equipment makes it possible for everyone to print sparkling photographs at home. With the help of Rob Sheppard, editor of Outdoor Photographer and PCPhoto magazines, amateurs can enter Epson’s brave new world with all the latest information.  This latest edition of the Epson guide reflects the increasing sophistication of ink jet printing, with its faster speed and better tonal and color reproduction. It helps today’s photographers select a model that has the right features, choose from the new options of quality papers and inks, and succeed in creating excellent prints—and have fun while doing it.  Sheppard passes on valuable knowledge on developing a consistent workflow, sizing and sharpening images properly, making black-and-white and panoramic prints, and much more.

very nice, but...4
This is a beautiful book, very nicely done. But, having already read quite a bit about color management and inkjet printing, I was hoping for more specific technical details. The author makes many statements which I'm sure are true (I do believe he knows what he's talking about), but aren't illustrated with examples. For example, he says 200 to 360 ppi is the ideal range when sizing an image for printing, and that going over 360 can actually be detrimental. Ok -- how about an example to show exactly what the effect would be? Yes, I can spend the time (and cost) to run my own tests to see, but the book should have done that for me.

OK for beginners4
If you are looking for the intricacies of the different Epson Printers and their output, like I was, this is not the book. For Beginners in Ink jet printers it is good.

Finally, a guide to Epson printing5
So many books on cameras, so few on digital printing, and even fewer devoted to the marvelous Epson printer line. This book is the perfect combination of technical detail and easy to use instructions. It will help anyone get more from their Epson. If you want to know how your printer works and how to optimize your output, you need this book.
