New Project Update

Did the test printing for the floating black portfolio. Not bad. Good aspects included beautiful rich black borders on the images; however, images lacked the print quality I desire for the final portfolio (ie dark images and tonal balance inconsistancies). Saw other test prints on the Epson 2200 with arches paper and found that the color, tonal, and even a rich black on a matt-ish paper that looked great. The tests on the back to back mounting looked perfect so that looks the way to go. On a last note, I am waiting for a book to arrive on book binding that might be perfect for the final presentation of the portfolios.

Side note: Had an idea to adjust the layout for the Ma house. Essentially, switching the left side, except the sitting room, with the right side, excluding the living room. I like the direct sight line down the right engawa to the back Naka Niwa. This new layout out further privitizes the master bedroom and the office.
