From /hr/ (Before it was deleted)

Very much /h/ material. Be warned.

/hr/ is for hi-res art not for /h/ material like this.

The RAR contains both /hr/ and /lr/ versions.

I see. Well, it was high-res art and /hr/ isn't supposed to be worksafe.

*shrug*

I didn't get b& though so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

/hr/ can be a strange board at times - The mods decide what is 'art'

I posted 'Bloody Ukiyo-e in 1866 & 1988' on there once and didn't get a B& ...

If you were to print the images to make an actual calendar, would any home (non-professional) printer be able to produce something even remotely as good as what we see on the screen? With all the colors, I simply can't picture it (no pun intended).

with a good printer and high quality glossy paper, I don't see why not

make sure the printer is color-calibrated for the paper though

Last printer I had was bought 8 years ago, currently I don't have one. I don't really have use for a printer (doing everything digitally is more convenient), but DAMN, the possibilities are tempting if "only" a good one these days can reproduce images like these with great fidelity (in adequate paper).

well you *could* go to Kinko's or something, but that might be a little... awkward...

good color inkjets aren't all that expensive though

Yeah, it'd be weird. Fortunately, I'm talking about it in a more general way. I used Midi as an example because you don't see so many vibrant colors blending like that all the time.

The answer to your question is no. Take the image into an editing program and convert it to CMYK for a better idea of what you're going to see roll off a good printer.

what does that have to do with it? CYMK and RGB are equivalent and interchangeable.

CMYK and RGB are actually completely and totally not interchangable. That's why they're Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, which are the types of ink going into it and are subtractative, meaning as you add them they will darken, as opposed to Red, Blue, and Green, which are the lights your monitor emits and are additive, meaning they lighten as you add them.

this is actually a pretty nice site on color fundamentals.

Nice. I completely forgot about the color conversion.

The problem with these images is that whoever scanned them cranked the color saturation up way too much. But a good printer and the right paper will most likely be able to print it anyway. The way to check if an image will come out is to use the soft proof function in Photoshop (this requires proper color management though).

Picture unrelated but awesome anyway.

point conceded, but shouldn't it be less of a problem if the picture comes from printed matter originally?

I'm sure Nise knows about difficulties with color printing since it's all he does, after I took that picture and did the CYMK conversion I saw no difference except that it had four layers now instead of one.

Not if filters were applied after scanning, I guess.

Plus, I too did the conversion in Photoshop, and there's definitely a difference. The colors look a little bit more faded. Still looks awesome and I even dare to say it looks BETTER (as>>285409said, the color saturation looks a little overdone).
