Fine Art and Photographic Print Information

•  We print at either 1440 or 2880 dpi
•  Our printer uses the full 16 bit file information - resulting in much, much smoother gradations and shading.
•  Our ink and papers are all acid free and of archival quality.
•  Ink and paper longevity is between 75 and 250 years.
•  For a small fee we will print a test strip for your approval prior to doing the final print.

Fine Art and Photographic Print Best Practices

•  Files should be supplied in either the Adobe RGB (1998) or the ProPhoto colour space to take full advantage of the extremely wide colour gamut of our printer.
•  If you are serious about quality, colour range and smoothness of tones you should do all of the following :
-  Shoot RAW camera pictures.
-  Open and edit the file in Adobe RGB / ProPhoto 16 bit.
-  Save the file as a 16 bit image - PSD or TIFF if possible.

Fine Art and Photographic No-no’s

•  Do not used any compressed file format - eg, JPEG - at any stage of your work.
•  Do not convert to CMYK as this will limited your range of useable colours.
•  Do not use a colour space such as sRGB as this severely restricts your range of colours.
