Inkjet Printing
PROFESSIONAL
The Technology
Imagine producing 64-inch-wide archival prints with amazing color fidelity, gloss level, and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors that significantly outperform lesser ink technologies. Imagine producing neutral and toned, black-and-white prints with even higher density levels, along with virtually no metamerism or bronzing. Our newest inkjet, the Epson P20000 can ensure that your digital files translate accurately to any media of your choice.

The Media
This is one of our highest performing photo papers. Features the same Luster E surface (orange peel) of traditional silver halide prints. A favorite among professional photographers.
Epson Hot Press Natural
An acid free, 100% cotton rag media with a natural smooth finish. This paper has an extremely-high color gamut and black density.
Harman by Hahnemuhle Matte Cotton Textured is manufactured with the revered mould-made process, utilizing custom made felts for a unique, highly textured watercolor surface and finish to help achieve the best combination of image quality and image permanence. In addition to the 22 Mil caliper and 300 gsm, the paper is 100 percent cotton fiber and acid, lignin and OBA-free, making it an ideal fine art paper for today’s printing professionals.
Hahnemuhle Bamboo
Bamboo is the world’s first digital fine art inkjet paper made from bamboo fibres. Bamboo represents spirituality, naturalness and resource-saving paper production. Particularly suitable for warm-toned colour and monochrome prints, Bamboo really highlights the sensuality of images.

File Preparation
When preparing your digital images for inkjet printing there are three different workflows:
- Raster Graphics
- an image composed of pixels created in programs such as Adobe Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, and Corel PhotoPaint.
- Vector Graphics
- an image that is resolution independent drawn mathematically in the computer created in programs such as Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand.
- Raster-Vector Graphics
- a combination of raster and vector graphics combined to form a layout created in programs such as Quark XPress, Adobe InDesign and Adobe PageMaker.
When sending files following the raster graphics workflow:
- Files can only be either TIFF or JPEG, as we do not support camera raw files
- TIFF files can contain no Adobe Photoshop layers or channels.
- JPEG files are recommended to be saved at maximum quality, i.e. 10 – 12.
- Images for output should have a minimum of 150 ppi at final size for optimum image quality.
- All images must be in an RGB colour space with the appropriate ICC profile tagged.
- All images must be be 8-bit colour.
- File names should be kept to under 30 characters saved with the appropriate extension .jpg or .tif.
When sending files following the raster-vector graphics workflow:
- Raster elements in your layout should have a minimum of 150 ppi at final size for optimum image quality.
- Link your raster images rather than embedding within the document so that we can accurately colour manage your images.
- Convert all text to outlines or include all fonts with your job.
- Select pantone coated colours referring for all fills in your vector elements
- As all colour output differently on different media, for clients seeking colour accuracy we recommend coming into our main location to select the pantone colour from our pantone colour charts output on our wide range of media.
- When setting up your page setup for your layout, we recommend at least 150 ppi for optimum print quality.
