Absolutley! I take great care in printing my photos, I love the process and feel it is the best way to represent my work.
There are a couple of videos of me talking about my printing process on my store page and some related articles on my blog. -
I have an Epson SC-P900. It's a great printer with 10 individual cartridges and prints A2 images comfortably. I also have the roll feeder so can print long, panaramic images.

This is a broad topic! I keep lots of different paper types in stock. I favour papers made by Epson and Canson. I tend to use fine art, 100% cotton paper the most, but I also enjoy papers (like a Lustre) with a sheen to them that emulate the stock I once used in my darkroom. In summary, I always pick the best quality paper for the print.

Yes indeed! I only use the original Epson inks that are considered archival due to the pignment they use.

If you plan to frame your image, leave the print in it's packaging until you can take it to the framers.
If you your print has arrived in a tube, carefully pull it out and lie the print flat. Be sure to face the image up and let the paper settle overnight to reduce the curl from the tube. Leave it in a place where it won't attract dust or water. -
I really do! You have bought a piece of wall art and I hope you put it on your wall.
If you plan to frame your image with a professional framers, leave the print in it's packaging and take it directly to the framers.
You can of course frame it yourself, just make sure you use a frame that is the correct size and allows you to mount the complete image. Always use acid free tape to secure the image to the mount inside the frame, this will ensure the paper and print lasts as long as possible.
