Response to Uninformed Review.......2005-12-28
The previous reviewer obviously has not read the book that he rated so low. Harold J. Rosen is an Honorary member of The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), an honor given to few CSI members. This book, in its first edition, predates the CSI Manual of Practice, and it has been updated over several decades.
Construction Specifications Writing: Principles and Practices has been the leading textbook for teaching construction specifications at colleges and universities.
The 4th edition has been superseded by an expanded and updated 5th edition, co-authored by this reviewer, that is consistent with the CSI Manual of Practice and includes more examples and resources than CSI's MOP.
Question.......2001-12-11

Very Misleading Title.......2007-09-03
Only 25 pages (Chapter 8) out of almost 400 total actually talk about making a print. The technique the author uses is highly based around the trial and error method. A Master printer, in my mind, should be able to hit it on the first print not after experimentation and a lot of testing. If that is not enough to lose interest in this author, there are some serious mistakes in those 25 pages as well. For instance page 268, there is a reference to the Print Space Profile--Same As Source. Anyone who knows how to print, knows that Same As Source is used ONLY to print a Target. I didn't see any reference in the book to a Target. I don't think the author knows what a Target is. This Book is a big disappointment for me. Take out Chapter 8 and come up with a different title.
For all photo printer users.......2007-06-20
This book will help any digital photographer/printer to learn about printing phtographs.
Aged commentary still somewhat useful.......2007-01-04
This book is getting mighty long in the tooth. It addresses inkjet printers from long before they became so good and useful. The approach to CMS, or color management systems, is superficial, and does not even address tools available when the book was written. It completely skips color spaces and the understanding of light and color.
However, it does give a broad beginning approach to understanding color printing. If you are just beginning to learn, this book is a good introduction covering many of the topics you will need an introduction to. Once past the introductory phase of learning, this book is of little value, being to basic in its handling of subjects to really be useful.
Take your digital printing to the next level.......2006-09-06
Mastering Digital Printing is a comprehensive manual/textbook for the professional photographer or artist who demands the knowledge to control every aspect of his/her final output, as well as the printmakers who assist them in this process. From printing techniques, file management, history, paper selection, every aspect of printing is here. The photos and bios of printers, artists, and photographers in their studios is helpful to see the layout of the workspace and creative ways of using the space available. This is the book you need to take your digital printing to the next level.
More about how to spec printing equipment than about making prints.......2006-04-20
This handsome volume badly disappointed me. I think the proper rating for the book is about one and a half stars, but I gave it two out of generosity.
If you don't have a printer and are looking to buy one, it gives a pretty good round-up of the choices, technologies, and papers. The problem with this kind of thing, of course, is that it is necessarily dated--so it can't really serve as a buyer's guide.
If you already have a printer--I have an Epson 4800--and a source of digital images, you won't find much information here about how to make great prints. The only section on the actual print making process shows the dialogs for one printer, probably the author's. Totally unhelpful unless you have that printer (and you've probably already figured out how those dialogs work if you have that printer).
The section on RIP software is way overview, and doesn't provide any decent guidance on how to proceed with it.
I'm not given to writing negative reviews, and I don't often return books (as I am with this one), but in the face of all the positive feedback for this book I feel compelled to provide my opinion. As I said, if you are looking to buy a printer, this might help you understand the basic technology issues (although the models have changed since the book was written). Otherwise, the only use I see for it is as a "gee whiz" coffee table book for would-be digital printers rather than a serious reference manual.
Book Description
The digital age of art has made it easier than ever for an artist to change what his work will look like when complete. Subtle changes in color composition can be made many times to achieve an ideal image. However, masterful color management is about more than knowing how to use the tools offered by your image editor. It's about understanding how to visualize your final image before you begin editing it-- seeing your image as you want others to see it. Mastering Digital Color is designed to help you master the skills needed to realize your vision, using color management tools available in the digital world. It presents techniques of practicality and results. By focusing on the practical aspects of color management, this fullcolor book enables you to more clearly visualize the connections between concept and result, bringing the art that you have envisioned to life.

Must have book for photographers!.......2007-01-15
This book was such a valuable tool for me in my everyday photgraphy work. It is clear, conscise and practical-and is really easy to follow. From capture to final print, this book will take you step by step to producing better image quality.

Digital Printing: Mastering ON-Demand and Variable Printing.......2000-06-23
Mr. Romano does and excellent job in illustrating the technical side of the printing industry in a way that the layperson can easily understand and absorb. Working in the educational printing industry, it takes many years to develop the strong information basis to effectively work in a TEAM atmosphere. My background is not in printing or publishing but this book helped me considerably in addressing those areas that have needed explanation and technical integration. I recommend this book and any of the books in the Pocket Printer Series.

Laying it all out in Black and White.......2007-08-04
Good photography transcends whether the image was captured in full color or black-and-white, and Amadou Diallo recognizes that fact in presenting this excellent guidebook for imaging in monochrome. Virtually everything in this book has applications in color photography as well, whether it's the description of proper calibration to the invaluable tips on tonality. If you aspire to be a better photographer, this book is a good place to start. You'll find that after you've mastered black-and-white image capture and output, you'll be well on the road to mastery of all aspects of good photography. Recommended.
High Quality Black-and-White.......2007-07-28
Extremely useful for any serious photographer interested in printing in high quality black and white.
Amadou's book.......2007-07-09
Very good overview and very timely. The samples of solutions available in the marletplace are up to date for 2007.
Digital B&W shooting and printing reference.......2007-07-04
This book was recommended on internet fora on printers and inkjet printing and they were absolutely right. This is a well written book for photographers who wish to go deep in the world of B&W shooting and inkjet printing.
It is necessary to have a little background in photography and Photoshop, but with this background the book is very informative and thorough. Amadou Diallo has a gift for teaching and he can explain difficult concepts in a simple way.
The information in the book more than covered my needs and has helped me in shooting and printing better B&W images.
Not at all just for Digital Black and White.......2007-06-14
I bought this book because I was interested in better digital black and white workflows. The interesting thing, however, is that all of the book's excellent and clear topics are applicable to the color digital workflow as well.
Well written; easy to understand; and quite comprehensive especially when dealing with arcane issues that I've never seen dealt with in print before such as L* monitor gamma calibration.
Highly recommended!

From the supplier: Publishing operations can be streamlined by diversifying into alternative means of information dissemination such as utilizing online services or fax-on-demand. Integrating the association newsletter into an existing publication is also a cost-effective alternative. It is also imperative that associations know their competitors as well as their status in the industry and to stay abreast of market developments.
