Custom Exhibition Quality Prints On Metal
You owe it to yourself to try our high-definition, finely-crafted, ready-to-hang dye-sublimation prints on metal, available in virtually any size up to 40"x60". Our prints come in a white or clear sheer base (the clear option lets the metal show through) in gloss, semi-gloss, or matte finishes.
With these long-lasting prints, there's no need for glass or acrylic when framing because of the inherent UV protection built into the panels. This alone can save hundreds of dollars in framing costs. They're scratch-, moisture-, chemical-, and fire-resistant (perfect for large interior displays) and easy to clean with standard cleaners.
Best of all, we offer a full line of in-house framing options for these prints, so every step from capture to wall display can be completed under one roof. Make an appointment below to come in and see samples of the stunning results in person.

G7 GRACoL and SWOP Certified/Verified Proofs
Contract quality G7 verified prepress proofing is available for all of your jobs going to a press. If your printer is G7 Certified, you'll be able to use these proofs as final press proofs. The benefit is you'll be able to work directly with us on your color critical project, and we can output proofs in-house, complete with verification. Our proofs are accurate to a tolerance of 2 Delta E (dE).

Film scans are available for 35mm, 120, and 220 formats, with full-roll scanning options, as well as sheet film up to 8x10 and larger with special setups. See the difference for yourself; your film deserves nothing less.
