Early prints were generally made in black and white, then often sepia-toned to make them not only appear more stylish but also make them more lightfast, or able to endure the test of time. Throughout photography's comparatively short history, many prints did not last well, especially some made in the second half of the 20th century; sometimes photo- graphs vanished from their media or paper within days, taking with them an impor- tant window to the past. This happened when some irresponsible manufacturers attempted to enhance their profits and please stockholders by moving from black and white to color products virtually overnight. Today, with the best of modern inkjet printers and materials, we find ourselves at a point like no other in the history of photography. We can now photograph using a digital camera or scan an existing image and then immediately make a final print, generally on our media of choice without the need of a darkroom or lengthy proce- dures.
Best of all, that final, correctly stored, picture, made using the best of materi- als, will outlive us all, carrying with it its information and aesthetic statement well into the future. For someone like me, who has spent more than 50 years of his life photographing, this is not only monumental but exceedingly exciting. I would like to think of my best work living well into the future. Andrew Darlow's dedication, concern, and research make this new volume an essen- tial tool to anyone interested in printing and preserving their photographs.

My parents have had a tremendous influence on my life, and it's difficult to express how grateful I am for the opportunities they have given me, and for the many ways that they have brought art and culture into my life.
My older brother Matthew has been not just a good friend (once we reached our teens), but he has set a strong, positive example for me in so many ways. When I was 1 8 years old, the Ueno family invited me into their home in western Japan as an exchange student. It was an unforgettable experience that greatly influ- enced me in my decision to become a writer and photographer. I will always consider them a part of my family. I've had the honor of working personally with many who have been advisers, men- tors, and editors of publications.
I thank the following people for sharing their knowl- edge and expertise in the areas of writing, publishing, printing, and photography: Brian Berk, Diane Berkenfeld, Katie Brennan, Michael Darlow, Sarah Coleman, Ken Crest, Val DiGiacinto, Jennifer Gidman, Marty Goldstein, Dan Havlik, Tina Kennedy, Lauren Lochetto, Dan Margulis, Alice Miller, Joe Oppenheimer, Larry Padgett, Marianne Pardal, Elmo Sapwater, Kathy Schneider, Gregory Sharpless, Joan Sherwood, Michel Tcherevkoff, John Timem, Richard Veloso, Liz Vickers, Maria Wakem, and Lauren Wendle. A special place in my heart will always be reserved for the staff and faculty at the International Center of Photography in New York, where I had the opportunity to learn from and share my passion for photography and inkjet printing with hundreds of students from around the world. Many thanks to Willis Hartshorn, Phillip Block, Suzanne Nicholas, h. Eugene foster, Shauna Church, Adam Eidelberg, Donna Ruskin, and Nancy Sirkis. I would be far less informed about many of the tips and techniques described in this book without the online discussion groups and forums that I've been reading and participating in for about the last 10 years.
Thanks especially to Joe Nalven and John Shaw, who co-moderate with me the digital-fineart YahoolGroups list. I'd also like to thank the following authors and photographers for their work in helping to further my v 1 Inkjet Tips and Techniques - 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques - 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques - 301 Ini knowledge of Photoshop, color management, digital asset management, photogra- phy, and fine art printing: Kevin Ames, Scott Bourne, Russell Brown, Dan Burkholder, John Paul Caponigro, Amadou Diallo, Katrin Eismann, Martin Evening, Robert Farber, Greg Gorman, Michael Grecco, Judy Elerrmann, R. Mac Elolbert, JD Jarvis, Stephen Johnson, Scott Kelby, Thomas Knoll, Julieanne Kost, Peter Krogh, Jay Maisel, Deke McClelland, Michael Reichmann, Seth Resnick, John Reuter, Andrew Rodney, David Saffir, Jeff Schewe, Michael Starke, Uwe Steinmueller, Derrick Story, Eddie Tapp, Vincent Versace, and the late Bruce Fraser. Special thanks to executive editor Kevin Elarreld and series editor Harald Johnson, both of whom inspired me to bring this book to life, and helped to guide me through much of the journey from initial outlines to finished layouts.
And a huge thank you goes out to project editor Sandy Doell, who greatly helped to shape the book into its final form. Also thanks to Bill Hartman for an interior design that far exceeded my expectations, Mike Tanamachi for designing a book cover that I am very proud to have my name on, proofreader Melba Hopper, and indexer Katherine Stimson. I wish I could list here the hundreds of people who represent the many hardware and software companies who have always been there to answer my questions and pro- vide information when I was a magazine editor and throughout the production of this book. I also would like to thank the many photographers and other artists who I've interviewed over the years and who have shared with me and others their tips, tech- niques, and imagery. This book would not have been possible if not for the research and dedication of many inkjet printer and media manufacturers over the past 20-30 years. Their engi- neers, chemists, beta testers, and users have worked extremely hard to help improve the quality of the printers, inks, papers, and other media that we see on the market today. I especially wish to recognize the people in the printer divisions at Canon, Epson, and HP, whose products I use and trust for virtually all of my own inkjet printing.
Finally, I'd like to sincerely thank all of the guest artists and other individuals who contributed to this book. It is a true honor to share these pages with them.
