The big news this year is the installation of a large-format printer in my home studio. The Epson 9900 with the high dynamic range UltraChrome HD inkset is up and running and I’ve been making numerous test prints on a variety of fine art papers, canvas and other media. I’ll soon be officially launching a boutique printing service for photographers and artists who want the best available quality printing on media up to 44 inches wide by lengths up to 150 feet.
While I can and have made commercial banners, posters, etc., this venture is not going to be based on the business model of a commercial printer or photo lab. Artists and photographers who are seeking the ultimate in print quality will be able to work together with me to achieve the best prints possible on any of dozens of papers and other media types. I believe that digital printing can be as much of a craft as any of the traditional methods and, so far, my test prints and the few early projects I’ve completed bear that out.
While it will be a few more weeks before the doors officially open to outside customers, there’s no need to wait. You can let me know what you would like to do and I’ll work up a custom quote.
