Giantprint Pty Ltd, a fine art printmaker specializing in printing high-resolution photo enlargements to poster size, has announced that, effective immediately, all photo enlargements will be produced using only papers that are both acid-free and optical-brightener-free.
"Since Giantprint's genesis, the focus has always been to provide photographers with a service that they can depend on to produce prints that are highly impressive as well as highly archival", says Alyson Emmins, Giantprint’s co-director.
"It might come as a shock to some as to just how much research and development goes into running a company like ours. Research relating to colour fidelity and print longevity is at the core of our operation. It is exciting to have finally procured a range of papers that are both acid-free and optical-brightener-free (OBA-free). Papers that meet these requirements go a long way towards ensuring that a print's colour and/or tone is preserved for many years. This is just one less thing that you, as a photographer, will need to worry about”.
It should be noted that clients will have the option of selecting papers with even greater archival properties, if they wish. Such media has the added benefit of being buffered with agents such as calcium carbonate, or containing other compounds that improve print longevity.
