Printing Products
We only use the highest quality fine art photographic paper to ensure clarity, colour, longevity and a premium finish.
You can select from our wide range of Epson and Hahnemuhle fine art papers including 308gsm Cotton Rag, 260gsm Epson Pearl Lustre, German Etching and Metallic Pearl. We also print on quality satin or matt finished Epson canvas.
PAPER
Cotton Rag mat paper: For a flat finish suitable for everything, but enhances textures such as trees, black and white images and heavily coloured images.
Lustre Pearl paper: Gives a small, pearly glow to the image and is great for wedding or family photos, water photos, something that would look good with a slight shimmer.
Statin Canvas: The is a quality canvas with a very soft, shimmery glow as it has a finish on it to prevent fade and scratching.
Matt Canvas: This is a flat look canvas without any grain. It gives a smooth finish but is not finished with a protector. Special care is required when handling as marking occurs easily.
PRINTERS
We use Epson, Fine Art Printers: The Colour Sure 9900 and the 6060. We only use the dedicated Epson archival inks. Jen manages the print studio and prints every print as if it were her own.
If you want a test ‘proof’ of your image, we can do this before printing the final images at a small cost of $12
