Description

Specialized Printing of Archival Pigment Photographs, Screen Print Film Positives and Artist Prints.

Whether you’re a photographer, a painter, a screen printer or even a set designer, as an artist today you need fine quality and craftsmanship to take your work to the next level. We specialize in collaborating with artists, like you, to produce collectable Museum Quality Fine Art Prints.

Proofing Session

Our proofing service is available to all of our clients and we strongly recommend our first time clients schedule a session when placing an order. We offer this service to ensure the quality and calibration of your prints matches or exceeds your expectations. During your proofing session we’ll work together to find the right combination of edit and settings to produce your work. If you’re a film photographer, these sessions act as an equivalent to the steps you’ve often made in the darkroom to find the right exposure and developer times. Once we’ve determined what your work needs we can run editions at any time and the quality will always be the same.
Proofing Session Rate: Please see the Prices Tab above.

Archival Pigment Printing Process

The process of producing an Archival Pigment Print is very similar to the Giclee Printing Process. Giclee, is just a fancy word often used in place of Ink Jet. Both processes are capable of producing fine detailed prints with an enormous range of color and vibrancy. But the key difference between them is in the ink. Archival Pigment, as the name suggests, is archival quality due to the use of pigment-based inks whereas Giclee often fades or changes over time due to the use of dye-based inks.

Printers

We use Epson Commercial Printers paired with UltraChrome HD pigment inks.

Currently stocked media includes:
• Moab Juniper Baryta Rag

Jason scanned a couple of older, larger format negatives and produced stunning digital images. A pleasure to work with and results that match! Highly recommended.

Jason was such a pleasure to work with! He was patient, listening to our printing needs and very professional explaining things clearly. The artwork being printed was very special and he showed great care and attention to detail throughout every step of the printing process. His paper selection alone sets him apart from the competition, the quality is top notch. Our prints came out with breathtaking color, as close to a color match that I have ever witnessed as an artist. Me and my collaborator will certainly be using his printing service for all our future projects!

Jason is such a talented printer. I tried two other printers for a large panorama file and their results were so sad. Then Jason helped me set up the kind of file I needed and created such a beautiful richly detailed print. I took it straight in to be framed. I am thrilled!

FAQs

How much is a Proofing Session and what can I expect?
Proofing Session: $125.
A proofing session typically runs about 1 to 2 hours. We use this time to get to know your and your work. We’ll discuss the differences between papers and how that choice impacts the print. We’ll also discuss how lighting and framing choices impact the look of your prints and what considerations you need to take into account.

We’ll inspect the work on our monitors to determine if the image is properly calibrated for flawless printing and if needed, we’ll make minor adjustments to refine your vision.

During this session we’ll also narrow in on 2 paper choices to print proofs on.The resulting proofs will be printed at 6×9 on your paper choices. These will be yours to take with you and to inspect in the various settings they may be displayed in.

We will often schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss and make any further adjustments before we commit to printing your art work.

Do you color correct before printing?
We offer this service as part of our Proofing Session. To eliminate the headache and frustration felt when your expectations aren’t met due to unsatisfactory prints, we strongly recommend scheduling a Proofing Session. Contact Us to schedule yours today.

Do you offer scanning, photo retouching and digital restoration services?
Yes! Learn more here: High Resolution Film Scans

Are you able to print on wood, aluminum, canvas, etc
Yes! We work with a variety of partners to provide these alternate print solutions. However, since these are not done in-house they may require additional time to fulfill. Use the form above to contact us for an estimate.

What dimensions can you print?
For works on paper, the smallest sheet of paper we can accommodate is 8.5×11, on that we are able to print images as small as a postage stamp. Our maximum size is limited to a maximum paper width of 24 inches. We are working to expand our capacity to offer wider paper sizes. If you are in need of prints wider than we can accommodate, we welcome you to sign up for our Dispatch to stay informed about when these sizes become available. If your need is immediate, we are happy to provide consultation and may be able to offer some recommendations.

Are you able to print borderless?
Depends. In most cases we recommend leaving at least a 1/2 inch border around the image for matting and framing purposes. This means the largest 35mm frame we are currently able to print is approximately 22x33in.

What is your turnaround time?
Depends on the size of your order, current workload and availability of any supplies needed. In many cases we are able to have your prints ready within a few days to a week.

Can you prioritize my order?
Yes. Priority orders are subject to a $100 fee.

Are there any discounts for printing?
Yes, producing editions (duplicates) of the same image at the same size on the same paper reduces our run time resulting in cost savings to you. Use the form above or Drop us an email and we’ll discuss your project and what solutions we have that fit your budget.

Will you guarantee my prints will meet my expectations?
Unless you book a proofing session, we cannot offer any guarantees.
Due to differences in paper surfaces and textures, how the ink lays on or soaks into the paper, even the type of lighting used to view a print will impact the experience a person has with it. A proofing session aims to address these kinds of issues before they come up. It’s our best effort to prevent costly print mistakes.

What is your return policy for prints?
Due to the nature of artwork and its inherent values, this is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In most cases prints are sold as-is and no refunds will be made. Unless you’ve worked with us during a proofing session to perfect your print, we cannot offer any guarantees. In the very rare event a shipment of prints from us to you is damaged, we will ask you to provide images of the damage and may request you to return the order for us to inspect. If we deem the order is as intended no refund will be issued and we will charge you to return the prints back to you. If we deem the order was damaged due to carrier negligence, we will work with our shipping partners to remedy the situation. If the damage was caused by negligence on the receiver’s end to ensure the safety of the artwork once delivered we are unable to offer any solutions.
