Setting up a home print studio can feel overwhelming — printers, papers, calibration, colour management… where do you even start?
In this video, we walk through everything you actually need to start printing your own photographs at home, based on real experience — including the mistakes most photographers make early on.
Using the Epson SureColor P900 as an example setup, we cover the complete beginner workflow for building a simple, effective home print space for photography — with a focus on landscape photographers who want full control over their final images.
From choosing the right printer and paper, to understanding monitor calibration and ICC profiles, this is the guide we wish we had when starting out.
In this video we cover:
- How to choose the right photo printer for your needs
- The most important papers to start with (and what to avoid)
- Why monitor calibration is essential for accurate prints
- What ICC profiles are and how they affect your prints
- How to set up a simple, practical home print workspace
- Common beginner mistakes (and how to avoid them)
Printing your own work is one of the most rewarding parts of photography — especially for landscapes — where subtle tones, textures and detail really come to life on paper.
If you’ve ever wanted to take full control of your images and produce prints you’re proud to hang on your wall, this video will give you a clear, practical starting point.
