[alt-photo] Re: Epson 3800 Ink Expiration Date and Epson Driver

[Amy Holmes George]

Hi Diana,
This is so very true, and I definitely agree with you! The only problem with my current work is that it is a rephotographic project, existing mainly of landscapes/cityscapes that often include a lot of sky (many times cloudless skies) which I can't reshoot or modify the composition. This is my real dilemma . . .
Thank you,Amy
