Giantprint's Professional Scanning Service Goes Live

After a number of years of scanning our own photos, artwork, graphics and even fabric, we thought the time was right to 'officially' launch our professional scanning service.

We use industrial A3 scanners, capable of a true optical resolution of 1600 dpi (should really be "spi", i.e. samples-per-inch!) and which are able to resolve subtle shadow detail).

You can read more about our photo scanning service / scanning service by visiting:

Update To Giantprint's Glossary

Hey Guys,

We've just updated our online Glossary. We've added a few more photographic terms.

It's beginning to turn into a mini-encyclopedia, so we might have to restructure it at some stage.

If you can suggest any terms to add to it, please drop us a line.

The glossary can be found at: http://www.giantprint.com.au/glossary

Cheers

Giantprint To Offer Acid-Free & OBA-Free Papers Exclusively

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.
