You need to have a good monitor that you can profile on a regular basis (I use the i1) and you have to make sure the correct paper profile is installed. I've already purchased the paper I like (it's the same one the lab prints on) I know there's a lot of work to be done to get prints looking right at home, but am I setting myself up for failure if I'm expecting (great) lab quality prints at home once it's dialed in? And how long would dialing it in take anyway? I hear horror stories of people printing for months before they're finally happy.įor what it's worth, I don't plan on testing with a lot of paper or anything.

They charge a lot for prints, but I'm wondering if that's because it's not easy to get it right. I'd like to start getting that quality at home, but I'm wondering if that's going to be difficult. I've been getting "fine art prints" from a reputable lab and I absolutely love them. I've recently decided to dabble in the world of printing and picked up the Epson P600 with the $200 rebate.
