?It is an ongoing challenge to produce digital files in-camera that are optimized for printing, and then to work with the best contemporary software and hardware tools to produce quality prints. In this brand-new, nearly 7 hour video tutorial, Jeff and Michael explore in-depth virtually every topic that needs to be covered ? from camera settings, to printer settings (both Windows and Mac), RIPs, paper types and choices, softproofing, current printer models, color management, profiling options, rendering intents, monochrome printing.....(you get the idea). If it's about printing, we cover it ? in depth.?

I myself actually purchased this tutorial because I couldn?t find it anywhere online & knew that I would really benefit from the information so please share these links.
Also, if you would like to see my personal photographic work, visit www.magikximaging.zenfolio.com for my portfolio (which I?m adding to everyday since it?s fairly new) or http://www.flickr.com/photos/magiktrik/ to see more pictures with all of the information & notes about each shot.
If there are any problems or dead links please inform me, since I did purchase this myself I will always have access to the original files so they can be reuploaded if needed.
