Big PrintsBig Prints from Camera FilesMake some of you best imaged large enough so that you can really enjoy them. Have them framed, put them up on the wall, and show off your photography. Where you can help: Give us as big an original file that you can. Shoot RAW for a big file. If you shoot JPEG, once you open the file ALWAYS save the file as a Photoshop file or tiff. NEVER save it back to a JPEG file as this will compress the file and discard some of the file information. If you can, set your camera and software in Adobe 98 color space. Where we can help: We will take the file that you send and open it up on our computer, check fro size and enlarge the file to the size of print you are ordering. If the file needs enlarging, we will use special software that give the best results for your type of image. We will check the exposure, color and so all of the things we do with our normal images to make the best print we can. Dodging and burning to improve the image. Special sharpening. Clean-up as needed. Once we have a great file we will save and store it in our archive so that you can order reprints at any time. All of these special services are included in the price of the print. How to send us you file: The easiest way is to write your file(s) to a CD and mail the CD to us with instructions as to the size of print needed. Tell us if you wish matte or gloss prints. Files can't be compressed or reduced to a size that can be sent by email. A small email file just doesn't make a good print.

Perma-Stable PrintThe "perma" comes from the permanent pigment ink that we use to make our prints and the "stable" from the outstanding Hahnemühle Pearl 100% fiber base. We use the Canon iPF9000 Giclée printer with 12 colors of pigments to make these prints. The Lucia pigment inks used in the Canon printer have preliminary ratings by Henry Wilhelm at over 100 years for color and significantly beyond that for B&W images. Hahnemühle Pearl Paper is a superior fiber-based Fine Art media with the look and feel of traditional fiber based darkroom photo paper with a medium gloss finish. It is significantly superior in D-Max, white point and has a smooth semi gloss surface structure. We can print B&W that has the look of the cool B&W photographic prints or a slight warm tone like the old warm toned photo papers. Color prints have an outstanding look of depth and sharpness. To print everything we can out of our digital files all images are 300dpi RGB in Adobe 98 color space and are up scaled to 16 bit color. The Canon iPF9000 printer is one of only a few that can print directly in 16 bit color. The prints are made at the Canons highest level of print quality printing at 2400x1200dpi at 16 pass. The dot structure is so fine you must use as least a 10x magnifier to see any sign of a dot. My life long search for the best color print.
When I was in High School about 1950 I first started trying to make Dye Transfer color prints. They were not very good. A couple years later when in a Photographic school in LA I made a few Tri-Color Carbro pigment transfer prints. They took about 12 hours to make each print. I learned a lot about Dye Transfer printing. It was a great process and lasted until the mid 1990's. There were many things that could be done while making the final print to change the color and tone scale.
When color negative printing was introduced I supervised the setting up of the first color negative lab in Portland. I then moved into the Graphic arts field of prepress and into color separations for prepress.
I stayed in pre-press color separations for quite a number of years. I started a couple of different companies in the prepress world. All the while I had a darkroom at home and was making color negative prints for fun and pleasure. Always trying to improve the process as it changed over the years. In later years as I moved into the digital world in prepress, I learned what we could do in digital prepress was so much better than what the darkroom offered it became very frustrating.
I started working with the UltraStable pigment transfer process as it was the first to join the digital Graphic Arts world with fine art printing of photography. A number of investors wanted me to develop an easier pigment transfer process. I found that the Agfa prepress proof could be modified to make a permanent print that would last many hundreds of years. We made Ever-Color prints but the materials were expensive and took a lot of time. When the LightJet digital printer came out it was a real marriage of the digital world with photography. I started LaserLight based on that excellent process. Improved on it with the Chromira printer. Great prints but I have kept looking for a better and more permanent Fine Art print.
With the new Canon iPF printer, the permanent Lucia 12 color pigment inks and the Hahnemühle Pearl paper I think I am again at the state of the art of fine art printing. The inks are transferred from the cartridge by spraying (Giclee) onto the finest of Fine Art papers. I've come full circle from the Tri-Color Carbro pigment transfer prints to the new Perma-Stable prints that are also a pigment transfer process.

Matting and MountingWe can furnish prints mounted and matted ready to add a frame. Bainbridge Archival Artcare foam board and their Alpharag Artcare 100% rag board is a whole new system to archive your prints. Bainbridge foam board is chemically and physically engineered to prevent any harmful out gassing of foam and protect the artwork mounted on it. Their Alpharag Artcare board proactively traps and neutralizes pollutants and acid by-products that can damage your prints. We mount Perma-Stable prints by hinge mounting them on the archival foam board and using polyester guides on the bottom and sides to keep the print flat. We double mat 2 white mounts on top with ¼ inch spacing.
