You better believe it. I'm printing that photo of Houston's Liquor from my most recent on-location video. And I'm doing it big: 2-foot by 6-foot.
Oh, what's that? You want to see how it's made? I thought you'd never ask. Seriously. I thought no one would ever ask to see this. But hey, I'm doing it anyway. So I made a video showing the entire process from scan to print to frame to hanging it on the wall.
I started with a drum scan...but that didn't work out too well. So I instead scanned the 6x17 negative (of Kodak Portra 160 film) on my Epson V750 scanner. Then I cleaned up the file and prepped it for printing before sending off to Pro Photo Connection in Irvine, CA to get a C-type wet-process print on Fujifilm Crystal Archive Pearl paper. They used a beast of a machine: a ZBE Chromira ProLab printer.
It came out so. damn. good. ...if I may say so myself.
Then the print was mounted on 3/4 gator board and laminated with a luster lamination before heading off to Salamon Art in Fountain Valley, CA for framing where they wrapped it in a beautiful warm-gray float-frame.
With the print finished and hanging on the wall, it was time for me to enjoy a cold celebratory beer while I pontificate about the virtues of printing and why you should do it too. Because if I can't pretentiously lecture to you about what you should be doing with your photography, why do this at all, you know?
But really, I hope you enjoyed watching this whole process of capturing, scanning, printing, framing and hanging this 6x17 film image on the wall. By the way, I created this photo on Kodak Portra 160 film using a Shen-Hao TFC 617-A panoramic camera. You can view the original on-location video where I created this photo here: • Photography On Locatio...

This is - quite strangely - maybe my favourite photography video of this year. There's no actual photography involved, nothing on-location and no epic drone eye-candy; but the satisfaction of printing something you made (even if not us, viewers) shows through and actually brings the same satisfaction to those watching. Truly makes you appreciate our common passion.

Before you leave a comment asking how much it cost: it was about $750 all-in (not counting film, developing, or scanning fees). EDIT: For those taking the "all-in" comment a liiiiiittle too literally...yes, the roll of film cost $7.53 and developing cost $5.00. The drum scan cost $150, but I obviously didn't use the drum scan after all (and likely won't be drum scanning my C-41 film going forward as a result of this experience), so I'm chalking that up as an expensive lesson learned/cost of doing business. So that just leaves the $12.53 in film and developing, which if we're being this literal about "all-in", I would need to divide that by the number of prints I've made so far (3 at the time of this writing), so $12.53/3 = $4.18. But this number will, of course, go down as I make more prints in the future. So long story short, this particular print featured in the video cost about $750 in materials + $4.18 in prorated film and developing fees. Or, ABOUT $750 👍🏼 ...but then again there's the cost of the camera, lens, my clothes, food calories required to click the shutter, wear and tear on my shoes...hmm, this may take awhile.

Thanks Nick, great walkthrough of the process!! I'm going to get some prints made and was really confused what paper to use, etc. This helped a lot!! Here's a breakdown of everything Nick said. In case you're like me and you like lists: Print size: 2 ft x 6 ft 1. Step 1 a. Drum scanning b. Aztek imaging, Alex Burke is better (learned this from some other video I watched) c. Gigantic TIF file (16-bit) d. Scanned on v750 instead, either will work 2. Step 2 a. Prep file for printing b. Clean dust c. Bring into Lightroom Color and tonal adjustments d. Export as 16-bit TIF e. Open in photoshop, use smart sharpen f. Resize to 24 in x 72 in at 300 ppi g. Send via FTP 3. Step 3 a. Print b. Pro photo connection c. Zbe chromira prolab printer (C-type print) d. Get proof made first - small version of print 4. Step 4 a. Mount and laminate b. Mount on 3 ¼ in gator board - light weight c. No glass, apply luster lamination (mounting guy did this) i. Luster lamination removes gloss d. Printed on Fuji crystal archive perl paper (looks backlit, but ultra high gloss) e. Sign and number print 5. Step 5 a. Framing b. SalamonArt.com c. Make sure you can trust them d. Float frame, check against different parts of print

Can't believe Pro Photo is still in business. I remember they were one of our competitors back in the day. I worked as a photo lab tech (mostly custom printing) at a small lab near O.C. airport for 30 years. Did a lot of work for architectural photographers, interior designers, Chuck Jones Studios, and many other cool people and companies. This was years before digital (when I started... in the mid 70s) and then when digital got going we lost a lot of business. About 10 months after I quit I found out they sold the business. Great video and nice finished print! Your description of having a finished print on the wall is right on. Used to be nice when I could print my own stuff at work. Those were the days... ;>) Subbed!

I love ProPhoto, I spent a lot of time in the OC about 26 years, and was grateful that they, and Samy's were around. I lived close to JWA, it was very convenient. I am now in Salt Lake working for a production company. We have a big archive to scan for a video, and Nick's videos were very influential on our purchase of a Epson V800., with SilverFast. I am now trying to figure out if we need to take the SilverFast SE 8 that came with the scanner, to an upgrade version. Not sure of the gain. Been thrown into the deep end, everything I know about scanning is from KZfaq. It has been cool to see Nick's videos because he sounds good, and it is not a bunch of added B.S. To have local references I know is good!

That's a great idea and I'm sure it's worth trying. I will say, though, that I also tried "DSLR scanning" this image on a light box and then inverting in PS like you describe. Doing the inversion myself with careful use of the tone curve never got the colors as good as SilverFast did for me with their Portra profile. I'm no slouch when it comes to color correction using curves in PS, but maybe I'm not as practiced as I could be for inverting negatives.

One more thing: Its a file on the computer, it's an image on your phone but it only becomes a photograph on the wall. I absolutely love the very last part when you ttalking about the value of a print on your wall. Its so much satisfying.

So satisfying watching the whole process of finding the location, shooting it, scanning, printing it, hanging it. That beer sip, I can almost TASTE the gratification of finally having it up on the wall like that. I've previously worked in print labs that use these kind of printers, and always always recommend printing this way rather than ink-to-paper style.

Arrived at this video looking to see someone knowledgeable show their method of self-printing & mounting art photography. Wrong video. BUT so much more interesting (mesmerizing, actually) by an enthusiastic expert showing the best way to have it done 3rd parties professionally. What a treat and what a personable, photo-loving, printing-loving guy! Thank you. Hey! Wait just a minute! Is that THE Thomas Heaton commenting just below? Wow! Another great photographer and video-maker I follow!

Even online prints and clip frames provide food for the soul, I started filling my place with them and it is so satisfying. And it's a great way to find out which pictures you love enough to 'go large' with. Great film Nick.
