We use
HP Designjet 5500 and 5000 ink jet printers and Kodak Premium PhotographicPaper
|
Image Resolution
|
We operate our raster image processors at maximum resolution, even for large
prints. This guarantees that any detail that's in your files will be in your prints.
Unless you have text or line art in your files, you need not expand your files to the size needed for
printing; our equipment will do that, via cubic spline interpolation, for you automatically.

Maximum print size
|
40.75" x 72" Larger sizes
available on special order.

Media options
|
We use Kodak Premium Photographic papers, in
three surface finishes:
Glossy (highest
reflectivity, darkest blacks)
Satin (sometimes called Lustre or
semi-gloss)
Matte (minimum reflectivity)
There is minimal if any differential glossiness
(variation in surface reflectivity depending on the ink
loading). Inasmuch as these are ink jet
prints, they should be protected from water.
|
|
Cutting options
|
Cut to exact size, or leave some extra white
paper around the image. There is no charge for the
additional (about 1/4") extra border, if requested.
|
The lifetime
of these prints, in typical indoor lighting, before the first detectable fading, is about 10-25 years.
This compares with 5 years for stabilized silver halide prints (most
rapid turnaround photofinishers), and 20 years for washed silver
halide prints (commercial photofinishers). Both ink jet and
silver halide prints will last longer if protected from UV light.
If you are unhappy with a print, in almost all cases you may obtain a refund,
credit, or reprint. Please see Policies
for more information.
