Print quality and colour
We print with professional Canon photographic and large-format inkjet printers. We match the loaded material, printer settings and colour-management profile, and assess a physical test where needed.
Materials, colour and caring for your print
We use high-quality papers and canvas from Colourbyte, Fotospeed and PermaJet, chosen for their colour reproduction, fine detail and range of surfaces.
Paper surface, display lighting and screen brightness affect appearance. Screen previews and digital proofs show composition and layout, not an exact print colour match.
Display finished prints away from direct sunlight and damp conditions.
