Reproduction to canvas

Posted on 01. May, 2007 by Philip in Digital imaging, Hardware, Photography

This is a little job for Ringo, an artist from The StKilda Esplanade market.

Ringo wanted to know if we could reproduce from an original oil painting, a color accurate reproduction to canvas using the wide format Epson printer. The 4800 pro uses 100 year archive pigment ink and also is amazing at this sort of reproduction.

Shot with the Canon 5D and imaging on the Mac calibrated using the Huey display calibrator the first print was nearly indistinguishable from the original.

We look forward to the long print runs Ringo….

    What’s the maximum width you can print Phil? Do you print it yourself?

    We have at the moment a 430 mm wide format printer. The Epson 4800 Pro
    For most photographic work it is fine. For larger sizes we are looking at either the 24 or 60 inch model but we would have trouble fitting it in the studio at the moment.
    Blog tag…. I am up to that.
    Petrina asked if I am blogging you..
    Not sure if that is a euphemism or a technical misunderstanding, but I like the phrase.
