It is nice to not have to worry about the book anymore since James ordered it on Friday. I was working solo today and that's alright since James worked a few hours by himself last week. I got James to send me all the final edits of our pictures from his desktop so I could begin printing them. The purpose of printing was to display the images in the halls of Lovett to show off our work and also to display them during our presentation to the committee to act as a visual aid. I wanted to print out the images to be as big as possible. The printer in the photo room has a paper roll instead of pages so it can print an image that is as long as the roll. The roll is only 16 inches wide so the pictures were printed out to be 16x24. The roll of paper in the printer was thick, matte, and grainy so after printing one image on that I had to exchange the roll for one that was semigloss. When I put the semigloss roll in I had to adjust the printer settings to maximize the image quality. The printer is very high quality but that also means high prices, ink is $70 per color cartridge and there are 11 cartridges. In order to avoid bankrupting the entire photography department Karey and I decided that I should only print out a few images from me and a few from James. James texted me some suggestion of photos of his that he wanted and I printed out four of them. I also printed out four for myself, one of which was the panorama. The panorama I took from the top of Bell Mountain printed out to be 16 inches tall and fifty inches wide. After printing all eight images I put them in a drawn in the photo room and went home.
