Keith's Photography Stuff

At Northlight, we have a general policy of not supplying images to clients in CMYK, unless they know what to do with them.
I’ve written up some advice and information aimed at photographers who would not normally stray outside of the world of RGB

We’ve used ImageNest for a while, both on our printers here at Northlight, and on many of those that we’ve reviewed, such as the most recent of Canon iPF6300.
It’s a great way of making use of the printing capacity of large printers to lay out images onto the paper. In fact I used it when reviewing [...]

During our recent testing of the Canon iPF6300 I was able to try out the True Black and White printer driver software from BowHaus.

It works very well and should be able to deliver extremely good quality B/W prints from the Canon large format printers.

Mounting your canvas prints on a ‘pizza box’ – sounds a pretty odd idea?

I was pretty sceptical when I first saw the JetMaster print mounting kit in use at a trade show, but after trying out several different size canvas prints, I have to say that on the wall it looks [...]

We’ve had a Canon iPF6300 printer on loan from Canon UK for a while and have just published a review.
It’s one of our longer reviews to date, but there’s a lot you can do with a printer like this.

The short version is, that barring a few minor gripes, this is one [...]

I was recently asked about my current approach to black and white printing, in connection with an upcoming magazine feature.
This short article is an extended version of my comments, which includes links to relevant articles and reviews I’ve written for the Northlight Images site.
Digital B/W printing is still evolving quite rapidly and we’re always [...]

A big thanks to Canon UK, who today turned up at the Northlight offices with an iPF6300 printer.
I’ll be writing up a detailed review in a while, after I’ve put this new printer through its paces.
If you’ve any specific questions – please leave a comment or email me?
It’s a 24″ width printer, which means that [...]

Some time ago I discovered that Sainsbury’s bathroom cleaner in the UK was an excellent cleaner for dried up and clogged inkjet printers.
For those of you outside the UK, Sainsbury’s are a big supermarket chain, where I happen to get a lot of my food
Unfortunately, the formulation was changed – probably to make [...]

Canon iPF8300 | i1Profiler | HP z5200ps
There is a lot of new and big stuff at IPEX – I’m not a great one for trade shows, they are great for visiting a few key people, but the larger ones can quickly feel a bit of an ordeal.
This blog covers a few products I went to [...]

I’ve recently tried out the updated ImageNest V2.1 (a “Multi-Image Layout Tool for Mac OSX”)
I normally use it on our Epson 7880, but tried it on the Epson 3880 that I recently reviewed.
It actually works on any OSX printer, and in the past I’ve tried it on the Canon iPF6100 and HP z3200ps
