Printing Instructions:
1. Make sure that your image is scaled to the size you wish to print. Go to Image>Image Size in PhotoShop and make sure ‘Resample Image’ is unchecked. Make the width of your image fit onto your paper.
2. Go to File>Print. First click print settings. Choose the Epson 3880 printer and ‘letter’ paper size. Choose the image orientation that is appropriate for your image. When you click ‘save’ the image on the left hand side of the dialog box should reflect what you’ve updated.
3. On the right hand side of the dialog box select ‘PhotoShop Manages Colors.’ In the second dialog box, pick the ‘profile’ that best describes your paper (at the moment, to my best recollection it is called ‘Pro3880 Premium Lustre Pearl).
4. Click the ‘Print’ button and on the next page, you will choose your print settings. Where it says ‘Layout’ scroll down to ‘Print Settings.’
Page Setup: Sheet

n.b. Checking ‘high speed’ is optional. Some say your print may get smudged.
5. Look at your print and decide it can be better. Readjust and start again!
Scanning Instructions:
1. Make sure that you have the correct holder for your film and load your film emulsion-side up (usually the direction that the film curves). Put the white arrow in the upper-left corner and do not cover the left slot of the scanner with your holder.
2. Log into Photo II and launch the Epson Scan software and make sure that you are in ‘Professional Mode.’3. Make sure the bit depth (image type) is 48-bit color and 16-bit grayscale for black and white. The scaling should be at 100% and you resolution (1600 dpi, 1000 dpi) is based on how large you want to make your final print. You should be in negative scanning mode.
Width of print x 300 dpi divided by width of film (e.g. 1.5” for 35mm, 2.25” for 120, etc.)
4. Hit the preview button. After it is complete, draw a loose marquee around your image. Click the zoom button.
5. Reshape the marquee to be inside the image you wish to scan. Hit the ‘auto adjust’ button, which is the black ball with two red triangles.
6. Drag the marquee back outside the image you wish to scan, then click the ‘levels’ dialogue, which is the mountain range logo. Once in there, adjust the black and white arrows so that you are not ‘clipping’ any information out of the source scan. Adjust the midpoints of the RGB channels and the individual channels to achieve a decent color balance.
7. Scan the image, choosing to save it as a TIF in the dialog box.
8. Proceed to color balancing.
