We have recently upgraded our system to Epson printers. Printing up to 44" in 2880 dpi with seven colour pigment inks and 4 picolitre drops means unsurpassed visual quality and extraordinary light fastness.

This printer is receiving rave reviews across the world in both photographic and fine art fields.
The utilisation of light black, cyan and magenta inks in addition to the black, cyan, magenta and yellow found in normal printers gives amazingly smooth graduated tones with a complete lack of dot structure to the naked eye. With a change to gloss black ink it prints onto photobase paper and looks as good as a real photo print - change back to matt black ink and print onto cotton rag fine art paper and hey presto it's as good as an original painting or litho/screen print.

In the past, inkjet printing has received a poor press with regard to longevity. While technical progress had been made on ink delivery and paper quality, giving excellent image quality, sadly, the images often degraded on exposures to light and environmental gases, sometimes alarmingly rapidly. Now, with the introduction of the Epson printers, coupled with UltraChrome pigment inks and museum quality papers, all has now changed - print lifetime is now measured in decades, sometimes 100+ years.

All this, coupled with our huge experience of copying artwork traditionally onto film, the latest scanners and scanning techniques plus the newer direct digital copying methods ensures that, whatever the workflow, the end result is as close as is technically possible to the original.

Digital printing has certainly come of age.
