Fine Art Inkjet Printing
We can print from CDs, DVDs, portable drives, emailed files, and all popular media card types. We can also scan prints and all film sizes up to 8x10. This will incur an additional scanning charge.
You can bring us an unedited image file, but please keep in mind that all art, including photography, is largely subjective, and so your vision of the final print may not be accurately portrayed by our output, as good as it may be. It is for this reason that we prefer files ready to print as follows:
• Any image file - TIFF, JPEG, PSD, etc. • Resolution of 300 PPI - 360 PPI, sized at final print size desired. • There will generally be a ¼" - ½" border. Please let us know if you prefer a borderless print or specific border widths. • We strongly recommend editing your images on a calibrated and profiled monitor. Images that look great on an uncalibrated monitor probably won't look the same when printed. Ask us for recommendations.
• We have downloadable printer profiles for the purpose of soft proofing on your calibrated monitor. This will show you most closely what your finished print will look like. Please contact us for instructions. To determine S/F: S/F = (Width in inches x Height in inches) ÷ 144
Scanning
We can scan 35mm, medium format, 4x5, and 8x10 film negatives and positives, as well as photographs and documents up to 8½x11. Color originals are scanned in 24-bit color. Black & white originals are scanned in 16-bit grayscale. Originals are cleaned of surface dust prior to scanning. Scratches, embedded dirt, mold, mildew, and other damage may be apparent in the scan and will require further billable cleaning or digital restoration time if requested. Please inquire. All scans are transferred to a CD or DVD, depending on storage space required. Scans are stored on our system for 14 days, after which time they will be permanently deleted. Please store your CD/DVD appropriately. We offer three levels of scanning, depending on end use:
Restoration, Retouching, and Design
Scans of old film and photos often need computer restoration to look their best. Newer images may need retouching to remove blemishes, red eye, etc. These services are billable on an hourly basis and are done only if approved beforehand. Please ask for an estimate. Our graphic design department can work with you to create logos, brochures, posters, newsletters, and so forth. Please contact us for a cosultation.
Digital Restoration, Retouching, and Graphic Design: Priced per hour. There is a minimum charge of $15.
$60 per hour
