Printer Calibration

I finally got down to calibrating my new Epson T50 printer. It's a typically tedious business, getting the output to match precisely (or as close as is practical for precision adjusted by Eyeball Mk. 1) what my monitor displays. After 5 max quality prints, I finally managed to squeeze out something that looked pretty much how the picture was displayed on my monitor. *Happy happy*

That might sound a bit anal, but frankly I'm never happy seeing something come out of my printer that doesn't look almost exactly like how I've seen it. I mean, it's bad enough that my jpgs will invariably look different on someone else's monitors. Since the print is the true litmus test of a properly exposed image, that's something I really can't live with.

Anyway, now that my printer's finally doing precisely what I want it to, it's time to get down to doing my actual photowall project. Yep. A wall...covered in photos. That oughtta keep me occupied for awhile.
