Digital Printing
All of our printers use pigment based inks which are
superior to dye based inks in terms of UV resistence and subsequent
fading.
Generally we print at 720 dpi
for photo quality imaging when using our photograde paper.
Regular printing is done on our doubleweight
coated paper which gives excellent results especially when combined with our
pearl or matte lamination.
Our new Epson GS6000 uses eco-solvent / outdoor durable inks
