Photographer Tim Tadder Turns to Epson SureColor P9570 for ‘Black is a Color’ Exhibition

Photographer Tim Tadder is using the Epson SureColor P9570 44-inch printer as part of his creative process for his exhibitions and ongoing advertising and portfolio work, Epson America, Inc. announced.

Tadder, the artist behind the “Black is a Color” photography exhibition series, is utilizing the new Epson SureColor P9570 with Epson UltraChrome PRO12 inks.

According to Epson, Tadder’s recent “Black is a Color” fine art series “incorporated bald models as highly conceptual objects with a mysterious swirling of color against jet black backgrounds.”

“My fine art photographs are vibrant, bold and reproduce color in unique ways; and this latest Epson technology brought it all together on the final print,” said Tadder. “With Epson Metallic Photo Paper Glossy in combination with the new Black Enhance Overcoat mode on the SureColor P9570 I was able to reproduce challenging tonal gradients and saturated colors with the best wet-looking black.”

According to Epson, Tadder prints and “lives” with each photograph to ensure it is perfect before finalizing the image. 

“I print huge prints, as large as 42” x 54,” tape them to the wall and live with them,” Tadder said. “Photographs are not the same on a computer monitor. By printing the image and living with it first, it gives me the ability to experience what others will experience so I can make any changes and control all aspects of the final product.

“I enjoy printing my advertising and fine art portfolios, it gives me control of how my work is experienced, especially if someone is reviewing without me present,” Tadder added. “With the SureColor P9570, I am impressed with the speed of the printer and the wide color gamut allows me to print colors that are very hard to reproduce. It has given my portfolio an upgraded presentation and represents how I want my artwork and my persona to look to potential clients and buyers.”

Tadder recently upgraded his studio printing technology to include the Epson SureColor P9570. The SureColor P9570 leverages the new Epson UltraChrome PRO12 twelve-color ink set. 

“The 12-color ink set with violet, orange, and green ink provides a distinctively wide color gamut,” Tadder said. “The black enhanced overcoat offered on the SureColor P9570 is incredible and provides the dynamic range required when printing a majority of my work, including the recent ‘Black is a Color’ series.”
