    Now very common, 10 megs digital still cameras creating 8.5 x 11 prints we think are perfect. In percent of enlargement over the classic 8x10's .. Wow!  Yet camera filters are important tools to "go beyond the desk top" tm for the ultimate control of the final images.

   Many new filter improvements and totally new filters are now being offered for the world of HD digital image capture devices. The Tiffen Digital HT ultra clear, "made in the USA" protection filters for one example are excellent for digital use.  We have been selling camera filters for over 18 years it has been sometime that so many significant new filter opportunities have been made available to the digital image makers of the world. Tiffen, Schneider and Formatt all have improved products for HD. Hoya, Tiffen and B+W filters of Germany are now supplying multicoated camera filter products as good as, we think they will ever will be.

This year HD is now common place. Contrast and sharpness continue to create a non film look needing to be controlled. The current HD camera filter tools from the leading MPTV filter makers solve HD capture problems. You can control the tonal range captured by the digital chip with Tiffen Digital HT camera filters. 2filter enjoys helping digital image makers understand the benefit of camera filters in the world of HD digital. HD Camera Filters are part of the digital creative process.

CANON Ink Jet Printers
 We are trilled with our Canon Printers.

After testing so many different filters and creating images, we have made a few prints in the last 20+ years.  We had been using Epson printers exclusively at 2filter.com.  Well we finally tried Canon Printers, there's no going back. The Canon Printers Work, they work wonderful, so far we did not have to clean the jets for over a year.  With the 6 color Epson's we had to clean once a week especially if you didn't print every day. what a waste of paper and ink.

FYI The included software that comes with the Canon printers is written with a photographers needs in mind. We are sure someone tested how many 8x10 you can print from the Canon's vs the Epson's before needing ink,  we feel the Canon's printers have not needed ink as often as our Epson's did.

 If you enjoy printing photographs Canon Printers are an excellent choice 2filter.com an authorized Canon USA dealer stocks all the Canon BCI 6 inks, Canon CLI 8 inks, Canon Lucia PGI 9 Inks and all popular value packs
