Let us create a museum-quality reproduction from your digital photograph or scanned file.

We can print your favorite photographs taken on the trail or your favorite family mementos on 100% cotton artist's canvas or photo-paper to make a unique, long-lasting, frame-able reproduction.

Mount or Frame that favorite shot on canvas to give it a rich, artistic look.

Typically, a photograph transferred to canvas will only last about 15 years before fading or yellowing noticeably. Film photographs likewise fade and discolor over time. Our process utilizes ultra-Chrome® inks which yield a work of art on your choice of media that will last for a life time (70+ years) - it's a great way to archive those special moments on the trail and/or favorite family photos.

Photo Reproduction:

We will do minor enhancement of your digital scan or digital photo file, correct minor flaws from scratches or dust and print the reproduction on your choice of media.

Our process for producing long lasting reproduction is to print your photograph on archival photo-paper or canvas using long lasting pigmented inks to produce a finished work of art which is ready for you to frame. It is an excellent way to repair and preserve aging family photos as well as to protect new film or digital photographs.

LIMITATIONS:
	Digital File Size:
		A camera file of 1600 x 1200 pixels (2.3 megapixels) will produce a quality 13 x 10 inch photograph at 120 dpi. Expect some loss of detail and sharpness when files of this size or smaller are enlarged. Minimize or avoid cropping camera files smaller than 5 megapixels.
	Canvas Finishing Size:
		For canvas reproductions which are to be stretched on a frame, allow 3/4 of an inch at each border for wrapping around the sides of the stretcher bars. When cropping - plan ahead! Stretcher bars are generally available in one inch increments which may result in a finished size smaller than anticipated.

Finishing Options:

Your photo can be finished on canvas and will be shipped as an un-stretched roll, or stretched on an art frame or mounted on a foam core board in accordance with your specification.

Reproductions also can be finished on standard High Gloss or Premium Luster (matte) photo-paper, printed to your specified size.

Sizes available from 8 x 10 to 16 x 20 for either canvas or photo-paper reproductions.

Processing:

Your photographs are going to be printed using the latest Epson technology on their state-of-the-art Stylus Pro 4000®, which is a 17 inch wide printer capable of producing photographs in all standard sizes up to 16 x 20 inches in size.

The printer uses Epson's acclaimed ultra-Chrome® eight ink cartridge system to create true, vivid colors for archival museum quality prints. Epson's literature indicates an expected life of greater than 70 years for prints made with their ink, assuming the artwork has been properly protected from ozone and ultra-violet light.
