Printing from the iPhoneThe situation improved when AirPrint became available, along with a gaggle of compatible printers from the likes of Epson, HP, Canon, and others. Yes, there have been improvements, but we still have a ways to go before printing becomes as ubiquitous and as easy on our devices as it is on our Macs.

Readable formatting for RFCs

I've been doing this for a while. Not as rigorously as a print a day, but for about six months I printed almost every day and I kept evaluating the prints from the previous days.

In truth, this was the most significant step forward for my photography (not only printing)!

1. After I bought the printer I didn't print a single image for about six weeks. Instead, I started evaluating my digital archive, searching for images worthy of printing. In six weeks I deleted about 60% of my images, but did find about 10 that I wanted to have nice prints of.

2. After I found the 10 images I still didn't turn the printer on. Instead, I started editing them, bringing them into "final form." This way I learned a bit about Photoshop.

3. The editing (on screen) ran invariably like this: I'd work on a image until I thought "OK, it's finished." On the next day I'd look at it (on screen) and immediately notice 2–3 areas that were so obviously bad that I would ask myself why I hadn't seen them yesterday. After 3–4 iterations I wouldn't notice anything worth improving even on the following day.

4. So I'd make a print, and immediately (!) after picking the print up from the printer I'd notice a flaw or two. How could I have not noticed that on screen?! So I'd correct that and make another print.

5. On the following day I'd look at my print from yesterday and...see a glaring flaw. After 3–4 print iterations the prints would usually stand a very critical inspection.

6. That made for many boxes of 100 sheets of Ilford Pearl, but like I said in the beginning: best money I ever spent on improving my photography.

“As many bitter scientists have learned, history often credits innovations to the people who made them popular, rather than the people who actually dreamed them up. Gutenberg was no exception. He changed the world by manufacturing printing presses, not by inventing them.”
