Digital Printing
We offer high-resolution digital photographic prints up to 24" wide by many feet long. We use Epson professional inkjet printers with Ultrachrome inks, along with Epson and art papers to achieve prints with lightfastness ratings that exceed 80-100 years.
We also offer large-format poster printing. We have a 54" wide HP plotter printer that prints slightly lower resolution than the Epsons but is much more cost effective. This is an excellent solution for large displays and prints where archival-grade lightfastness is not a concern.
Digital Photographic Services
We provide professional digital imaging services to the university community and to the public. We specialize in working with old materials such as albums and delicate original negatives and prints and with large items such as maps and original artwork.
We can image items up to 40" by 60" in a single pass, and can scan film formats from 35mm up to 8x10 and panorama. Our large format photo printers can make prints up to 24" wide by almost any length (the longest print to date is 25 feet long). Our large-format plotter can produce professional posters and other large prints up to 54" wide by many feet long.
