About Mark Lindquist
Mark Lindquist is an internationally known artist with works in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and many other major museums. He is a fellow of the American Craft Council and the MacDowell Colony, and is a founding and honorary lifetime member of the American Association of Woodturners. Mark has been photographing since 1968, creating photographs of his work and works of other artists, including photographing the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. His images have been published in hundreds of books, magazines, and other publications. Beginning in 1999, with the advent of the digital camera and high quality large format inkjet printers, Mark began creating motion blur images with the camera and producing high resolution fine art prints in his studio. Several of these prints are in the collection of the Hewlett Packard Large Format Division headquarters in Barcelona, Spain. Currently, Mark is pursuing making images on a wide range of subjects. Whether photographing wildlife, making abstracts, or photographing people at work, his goal is always to create an evocative image and produce the highest quality archival print possible. The Smithsonian American Arts Museum hosted his 25 year retrospective exhibition in 1995.

Film, I Just Don’t Get Iton: September 17, 2023 at 7:47 am
As an artist (sculptor) working in New England in the 60’s through 80’s, I look back on the most incredible time of color 8×10 chromes and the professional film studio. A photographer in Manchester, NH had a massive studio above a restaurant he owned in one of the buildings on the river – an old brick mill building. Each sculpture carefully placed in the designated spot on the CYC, huge Chimera soft boxes nearly floor to ceiling, then sock-footed making careful adjustments. Sit in this chair Mark, let me work. Jane, how about sending down for an order of cappuccino and croissants. Big 8×10 view camera on rolling studio stand. Glowing modeling lights, reflectors and flags – kack. Enjoying coffee, sitting in a rolling wingback chair, an 8×10 color polaroid was handed to me and all of our eyes grew wide. The magic and mystique of film, the ambience and lure of the studio. The utter crushing brilliance of an image flattering it’s subject. Rush off down two floors to the custom color lab, where eventually came back the chromes – 8×10 color film transparencies lit up by the light table.
Film. Mystique. Romance.
Film era. Bygone time. Film is dead… no, wait. I don’t want to be back in our black and white darkroom listening to vinyl albums washing prints in Fred Picker’s Zone VI archival film washer, only to have to hang those prints to dry then eventually press them to flatten. Process. Steps requiring fastidiousness all along the way. But… those prints still hold fast today, just as when printed nearly 50 years ago.
But now, really? Nah. Been there, done that. Phooey.

Hope you will find this interesting.

Re: New series Epson Printers!Reply #3 on: October 1, 2019 at 4:56 pmThose things are both built like tanks. About time Epson fixed the black ink switching thing.
Should be great printers.
Re: HP DesignJet Z9+ 24" Unboxing and Setup videoReply #4 on: August 8, 2019 at 8:52 pmWell done Mark. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin – as you know, I’ve long been an advocate of the HP Z3200ps printer. I have 5 of them and now the new Z9+ that HP Barcelona sent me to test and use.
Seems strange to have a printer that for all intents and purposes does everything the Z3200 does but at 2-1/2 times the speed.
I’ve been working with HP to encourage them to upgrade the spectrophotometer capabilities in the color center of the Utility so that similar to the Z3200, it could be used to make extended patch target profiles. At this point, I have a 10,455 patch target ICC profile made by Mark McCormick and printed by me for both the Z9+ and the Z3200ps 44″. Makes all the difference in the world. Finally some real control over printing. I used to think the Atkinson 1728 was the best. Now it’s a starting point.
We’ll see what HP does in the future with the Z9+. Thinking back to the Z3100 that Michael Reichman began using and made a video about, the Z Series has come a very long way, and still to this day, the Vivera inkset holds best in class ratings. I believe the Z9+ Vivid inkset and the dual droplet delivery will also come out tops in test results.
