DIGITAL CAPTURE RAW CONVERSIONS:
We work directly with photographers in our digital studio converting their Camera RAW files into usable TIF/PSD/JPG output files.
We've successfully printed 36"x48" from 6MP RAW captures. The client loved them!
$120/hour in 15 minute increments.

PRINTING:
Epson 9600 Archival Inkjet

We have 2 - 9600's - one loaded with Photo Black ink and the other Matte Black ink
Files must be supplied Preflighted "ready to print".
We do not make any adjustments to your files!
If adjustments are required, we'll contact you to either resend us the file(s), or we can
make the appropriate corrections at our Photoshop rate of $120/hour in 15 minute increments.
An estimate of time will be provided before any changes are made.

Please supply files in an RGB working space i.e., ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB, ColorMatch RGB, or sRGB.
If your image is missing an embedded profile, we'll Assign a profile using our best judgement!
Or we'll contact you to get more information on how your Photoshop Color Settings are set.

Illustrator (EPS Vector) files must be rasterized to RGB Bitmap files for printing.

If you would like a paper profile to soft proof in your computer, we can usually supply one.
However for your monitor to reproduce as closely as possible to our prints, your display should be properly
calibrated and profiled with equipment like either a GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display 2 or Monaco Optix XR colorimeter.
We can print a hard copy proof print which we suggest for critical matching!

Minimum file resolution of 180 ppi, preferably 240 or 360 ppi.
If you want a white paper border outside of your image,
you'll need to adjust the canvas size and add a 3 pixel stroke, so we'll know where to trim.

Use the suggested guide for sizing:

8x10" - 360 ppi
11x14" to 13x19" - 240 or 360 ppi
16x20" and larger - 180 or 240 ppi

We also recommend PhotoKit Sharpener for the best sharpening.
