Fast Pro Prints
In 90 seconds, Kodak’s Professional 1400 Digital Photo Printer will
produce a photo print up to 8x12 inches in size—and do it again and
again. The printer’s ribbon is created to provide consistent color
density for every print. Dry thermal dye-sublimation technology allows
for zero dry time and prevents smudging. List Price: $549. Contact:
Kodak, (800) 235-6325, www.kodak.com.
Large-Aperture Digital Lens
The very fast Sigma 30mm ƒ/1.4 EX DC HSM lens allows you to shoot in
low-light conditions, at a faster shutter speed, to eliminate camera
shake and prevent blurred images. The lens is specifically designed for
digital cameras, with an APS-C-sized image sensor and special glass
elements that compensate for chromatic and color aberrations. Price:
TBA. Contact: Sigma, (800) 896-6858, www.sigma-photo.com.
Smart Sharpener
Make your images pop in the right places. nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 is a
Photoshop-compatible plug-in that allows you to sharpen your images in
specific areas by use of brush or color selections. This new version
can work with 16-bit images and can be told what printer you’re using
to create more precise sharpening. List Price: $329 (Complete Edition);
$169 (Inkjet Edition). Contact: nik Multimedia Inc., (619) 725-3150,

Digital B+W Darkroom
It can be difficult to create consistently beautiful black-and-white
digital images with neutral tones. Media Street has collaborated with a
fine-art photographer and digital-imaging consultant in developing an
archival black-and-white inkjet solution that produces
exhibition-quality prints. The inks can be used with an entry-level
$100 Epson printer, making it affordable to have a unit dedicated to
your black-and-white images. The set uses black and warm, light, cool
and dark gray inks to generate rich tonalities. List Price: $262 (for
initial setup); $22 (per cartridge). Contact: Media Street, (888)
