Process

Capture

Our photographer will capture a digital image of the original using a high resolution DSLR camera, diffused daylight temperature lighting and spirit-level calibrated tripods. The result is a consistent, shadow free and undistorted image.

Proofing

Repeated printing and adjustment of settings will take place until we are happy that the proof is as close as we can get it to the original. It should be noted that an exact colour match is rarely possible due to the properties of the media itself - light reflecting off of a print will behave differently to light reflecting off of oil, acrylic, etc. The artist will sign and date the proof with the settings to be used for the actual print run. A one off setup fee applies to each image for proofing.

Printing

The image is then printed as many times as required using the same conditions and settings as the final proof. We use an Epson Large Format Printer utilising the Epson K3 Ultrachrome pigment inks guaranteed not to fade (under normal lighting conditions) for at least 75 years.

We print on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper which is 100% cotton, acid free and 260g/m² in weight. We can print any size up to A2 but charge at A4, A3 or A2 sizes to keep it simple.

Presentation

We offer preferential rates for print presentation when ordered with prints.  This includes a mount, a backing board and a cellophane sleeve. The prints are then immediately ready for display in browsers or portfolios.
