As most of us have experienced, randomly turning up to a beautiful spot, lifting the camera and taking the shot rarely results in to an image that represents the beauty and scale of what you saw with your eyes.
The same goes for printing, monitors have to be calibrated, profiles need to be created for different types of papers and inks to re-create what you see on screen.
I print on Epson printers using Ilford paper for small runs and prints up to A3+. For larger runs and larger prints I use a professional lab that is also calibrated to my monitors.
Then I hand check the print carefully for any inconsistencies. The result is a print that will last for years and retains the essence of what I was capturing at the time.
To learn the basics of composition and camera settings I have some simple tutorials to help.
