Photografic Enlargement

TRADITIONAL ANALOGUE ENLARGMENTS

Colour

Using a horizontal enlarger, we can produce high-quality analogue prints in formats up to 500 x 180 cm from negatives. Test prints can be made upon request, and photographs can be printed directly from the negatives to paper and slide material.

Black & White

In our darkroom we can make traditional baryta black & white prints from your negatives, measuring up to 80 x 60 cm. These are entirely handcrafted, from the exposure to developing to drying in our heat press. The thick natural fibre base paper is available with a matt or glossy surface.

DIGITAL ENLARGEMENTS

We also offer incredibly large, high-quality digital enlargements, using the biggest photographic printer in the world: the LightJet 500 XL. It produces single-lane prints up to 300 x 180 cm. Image sizes above this are achieved by printing several lanes, which are then joined by splicing. The seams are retouched, rendering them virtually invisible. For smaller prints (127 cm material width) a Durst Lambda printer is available.

We pride ourselves on doing what others can’t. Whilst the majority of printmakers rely on digital finishing, we continue to complement our art production services by offering traditional, analogue finishes.

FINISHING

Analogue Retouching

We have decades of experience retouching and restoring photographic prints, negatives and transparencies. We guarantee that any visible damage will be retouched and restored until virtually invisible and colourfast.

Splicing

In order to produce images bigger than the maximum print size, we use “splicing”. Individual parts of an image are printed separately on several lanes, which are joined together. We then retouch the cut edges so that they are virtually invisible.

Images cut to size

We can cut photos – from individual images to large print runs, manually or by machine – as required by the customer, and are accurate to within a millimetre.

We pride ourselves on doing what others can’t. While the majority of printmakers rely on digital finishing, we continue to complement our art production services by offering traditional, analogue finishes.
