So they make this really tiny print, but it's like they never heard of Color Management!

My next exhibition will be printed entirely on my chest hairs, or somewhere.  Scanning electron microscopes will be given to all visitors at the gallery door.

How large will the D800 print at 1:1 pixel? :-)

My guess is that its colors are nice in the primaries and lousy in the mixing in between. Like more color systems that rely on interference, etc. Lippmann xolor photograhy + emulsion comes to mind. The girl's skin tones for example may not be that sexy in print.

Yes, but it could feel so good!
