I am a photo artist. At present, I am producing before and after
photo cards There are about 50 sets of "before and after" pictures in my collection. At present, I am trying to find a printer to produce the pictures.
I have replaced my printers but the ink supply and paper is a constant expense. I have an Epson RX700 and an Epson R220. I use 4x6 matte stock to print on and 4x6 clear bags to package the photos.
I also print photos on water color paper and enhance them with
acrylic or water colors. I lost all my water color paper and a lot of my paints.
There is a book planned in the near future for the "before and after" photos. If you know of any good publishers (especially for photos) please let me know. This will be a joint venture for me and another artist, Vicki Niolet.
