Work is progressing well on producing the images for this year's exhibition - Antarctica. I have now completed approximately half of the required work. This time around I am working with Permajet's excellent Fibre-based gloss paper, which is wonderful paper to print on: it really does give the feeling of a traditional print. All of the photographs have been printed using an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 which has been modified to use Permajet's Eco-flow system. This means that instead of using loads of ink cartridges, the printer has been modified to use larger bottles of ink, which is fed to the print-head via direct injectors.

I was apprehensive of fitting this to my shiny new printer, but it is just so much more cost effective. Previously I had used the Lyson Continual Ink System with my old Canon S9000 printer and found it to be messy and problematic at times. So far, with six months of use, the Permajet system has yet to cause me any problems at all.

For more information about both the Ink-flow system and the Fibre-based gloss paper, please take a look at Permajet's website.
