C-Prints are digital chromogenic prints: continuous tone laser exposure onto Fuji Crystal Archive chromogenic color paper, with superior color saturation and archival stability. Printed on our 50 inch Polielettronica Laserlab.
True digital chromogenic C-Prints: laser exposure onto Fuji Crystal Archive chromogenic color paper on a 50 inch Polielettronica Laserlab, the same process as Lambda and LightJet. The color paper is what makes it a C-Print. Our silver gelatin black and white prints use the same exposure and processing on black and white paper.
Same machine, same process, different paper: we also print silver gelatin black and white prints.
A C-Print is a digital chromogenic print, a true photographic print rather than an inkjet print. Your file is exposed onto light sensitive chromogenic color paper with a high resolution laser and developed in photographic chemistry, producing a continuous tone image with no dot pattern. The color paper is what makes it a C-Print: we use the same laser exposure and wet processing for our silver gelatin black and white prints.
Yes. Lambda and LightJet are earlier machines for digital chromogenic printing: laser exposure onto light sensitive photographic paper. We make the same kind of print on a 50 inch Polielettronica Laserlab, a current generation chromogenic laser printer. If you have shown or collected Lambda or LightJet prints, a C-Print from us is the same kind of print, made on newer hardware.
HDR C-Prints are our high dynamic range version of the traditional C-Print, with greater dynamic range and richer colors. Our printer uses advanced laser technology to achieve superior tonal gradation.
Absolutely! C-Prints are perfect for gallery exhibitions due to their impressive color depth and detail, making your photographs stand out. The Fuji Crystal Archive paper we use is specifically designed for museum and gallery display.
We use Fujicolor Crystal Archive Professional Paper in gloss, matte, and luster finishes, including Maxima Gloss and Maxima Matte. These papers are renowned for their archival quality, vibrant colors, and exceptional longevity.
Fuji Crystal Archive papers are rated for over 100 years of display permanence under typical home display conditions, and even longer when stored in dark conditions.
Yes. Our silver gelatin black and white prints are exposed on the same 50 inch Polielettronica Laserlab and wet processed in real chemistry. The only difference is the paper: chromogenic color paper for C-Prints, Harman Digital Galerie black and white paper, fiber or RC, for silver gelatin prints.
