Custom Digital Imaging

and B+W Printing

 

I offer custom digital imaging services that include museum-quality scanning, digital restoration, and both small and large-scale pigment ink prints on the highest quality papers for maximum permanence.  I offer the Epson K3 Ultrachrome inkset (Epson 9890 printer) and matte, semi-gloss and glossy papers such as Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art, Somerset Velvet, and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Pearl.  Look at tests for these combinations at Aardenburg Imaging & Archives and Wilhelm Imaging Research.


I am also one of the last commercial printers in the country to offer fiber-based b+w silver gelatin printing.  I do so for two reasons.  The first is aesthetic: their look is fundamentally different from the inkjet print and this can be the best or preferred solution for a given image.  Often, photographs that originate on b+w film simply look more natural as silver prints.  The second is because a toned, fiber-based silver gelatin print is the most permanent, or “archival,” photographic or digital media available.
