Do your prints truly match what you see on your monitor? Are you in control of your printing workflow, or are you just hoping for the best?

Creating gallery- or exhibition-quality inkjet prints isn’t easy and certainly isn’t intuitive. If it were, everyone would be doing it—and doing it well.

Join Eric Joseph of Freestyle Photographic Supplies for an in-depth, hands-on workshop designed to give you the tools and confidence to take full control of your printmaking process. You’ll learn the six essential steps to producing consistently beautiful inkjet prints.

Throughout this workshop, Eric will guide participants through key topics including:

  • Choosing the right monitor for print-based editing

  • Monitor calibration: what it is, how to do it, and why it matters

  • Selecting paper that supports your artistic vision

  • Choosing the best printer for your needs

  • Understanding and using custom printer/paper profiles

  • Evaluating your prints under proper lighting

Who Can Attend?

Darkroomers Weekend Workshops are typically reserved for current members of the Darkroomers Photographic Club. However, this special event is open to all members in good standing of any SCACC (Southern California Association of Camera Clubs) affiliated club. We welcome our fellow photographers from the SCACC community to join us for this educational opportunity.
