We are at 85, past experience says that's about the end of it. I wonder if it's the same ~90 voters every time.

As I stated earlier the instructions say choose two but the pool on mobile only allows one choice so I didn’t participate in the poll.

The failure of the print head was the last straw for ours. It was relatively cheap to repair, less than the cost of the inks.. The prints we've made in the years since haven't cost us what a set of inks and new print head would have set us back.

Well, this really depends on the model but the printhead of Canon's popular Pro 300 costs around $400 or more. $750 for Pro-1000 etc...

I clicked on 2 choices, they only allowed one. I guess I could have redone the poll in hopes of getting it right the second time. Someone else take shot at it.

I don't print unless someone want to print my work which happen from time to time. The largest size somebody every print my work is A1 paper size which needless to say I didn't like when I see the print and I already warned them. They seem to like it so I don't mind. Most of my photo is taken for fun and view on Instagram.

I do not display digitally other than what people look at on their phones or monitors. For hanging on the wall in a small hallway at home, 11x14. Larger space, 16x20.

stevebrot · 11-23-2021, 09:05 AM

Flickr is my conduit for Web viewing and for that environment, I upload full resolution, but limit display to their 1600px option with download disabled.

As for prints, I hand-craft my own to the maximum of 13"x19" supported by my Pixma Pro-100.

I routinely print to canvas or metal. Largest metal and canvas I've done is 48"x 30". They hang very nicely. Most hanging prints are however 36"x24". They do take up a lot of wall space. Fortunately we have a lot of wall space, but filling up quickly!

I'm curious about metal prints....any words of wisdom?

I haven't really figured them out yet...
I have one somewhere, I can't remember which one though.

We added 10 votes overnight... I guess I should have left it open 4 days instead of 3.

I have limited experience, but the metal prints I have are of subjects with brightly lit and reflective surfaces. The metal coating of the paper certainly adds some extra depth to the image, IMO, but I don’t think 🤔 t would be useful for all of the images.

What is most common size your images are displayed.

Sorry for some reason you can only pick one option.

I do my viewing on a 5K iMac 27" screen. Very rarely I might use my 55" 1080p TV.

Regards, Jim
