Guaranteed Quality Canvas Photo Prints and Superior Service

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Life Time Guarantee on your Photo Print to Canvas

Your satisfaction is our goal. If you are not 100% happy with your canvas print, you can ask for a complete refund.

We can assure you that we use the best quality products available that ensure excellent colors and archival quality canvas photo prints. If your photos or images are unsuitable for printing, or if the size is incorrect, we will contact you to make you 100% sure that the final product will be as you expect it.

Quality Finish

Unlike the products of many other companies, our canvas prints are professionally finished with artists tape, wire, and hooks.

Quality U.V. Antifungal Protective Coating

  • Don’t worry about dust, water, or finger prints damaging your print.

  • Protected against fading (75 years), thanks to UV Protection.

  • Protection from abrasion, bumps, and scratches.

  • Better colors of the print. We offer gloss, satin (semi-gloss), or matte.

Quality Ink

Our prints are guaranteed to be fade resistant and produce excellent color reproduction for a life time. Thanks to using Epson Ultra-chrome pigment based ink.

Quality Canvas

  • We use high quality, matte finish, pH neutral (acid free) artist stretch canvas, with a base weight of 356 gsm.

  • It has 100+ years of image stability, as it is designed for long-term, fade resistant fine art or photo reproduction, as well as due to the UV pigment inks we use. The polyester/cotton blend canvas has a specifically designed coating which delivers superior color gamut and resolution, with the added bonus of being water resistant when printed with UV inks.

  • It produces great color reproduction, as it is strong like denim, water resistant, and bright white.

  • Less chance of sagging over time, as it is not 100% cotton.

  • While 100% cotton canvas is designed for artists to paint on, the poly/cotton canvas we use is manufactured to be ink receptive with a special emulsion designed to accept the latest high technology pigmented inks. Therefore, it is very suitable for canvas printing, and especially canvas photo prints.

Quality Framing

  • Kiln dried and finger jointed New Zealand regrowth timber bars.

  • In order to eliminate canvas cracking, we use bars made for inkjet printing with rounded edges.

  • Australian hardwood timber (Eucalypts such as Vic Ash or Tassie Oak) or non-regrowth Asian rainforest timber (Meranti) are not used for the stretcher bars.

  • We do not use large amounts of tannin or tannic acid, which may be damaging to archival (acid free) products, as other companies do.

  • All our stretcher bars are marked as originating from regrowth forests. That is because we want all our products to be environmental friendly, so we avoid using non regrowth forests which can be very damaging to our environment.

  • To provide more stable and warp-resistant frames, all our frames are finger jointed.

Basic Exposure Techniques

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

 

When you take your photographs, good lighting should be a priority. This is because bad lighting will obscure the photo’s subjects and composition, leaving little to be appreciated. It has this power to ruin a good image and make it useless, but it also has the power to make an ordinary photo, a great work of art. That’s why the camera should be set to collect the correct amount of light.

During the capture of a single photograph, the photographic medium (film or digital sensor) is allowed to gather a certain amount of light indicated by its exposure. There is no fixed value of a correct amount of light, because it depends on the available lights, the objects, and the photographer’s judgment. However, it is safe to say that there’s an acceptable exposure and an unacceptable exposure. Unaccepted exposures are, in general, due to a mistake rather than a photographer’s intention.

Low lighting conditions require high exposures to allow more light into the sensor, brightening up the final photograph. Otherwise, the photograph will be underexposed, having too many dark areas, the dark objects loosing their details, and the bright objects becoming dull. Alternatively, a bright scene will need short exposures, limiting the amount of light collected by the sensor, yielding a well exposed photograph. If more exposure is used, the photograph will become too bright with many blown highlights.

The camera controls the exposure through shutter speed and aperture. Shutter speed determines how long the sensor will be exposed to light. Slow shutter speed means more exposure, while fast speed will allow less exposure. On the other hand, aperture controls the degree of openness of the lens. Narrow aperture will let less light pass through it than a wide aperture. ISO speeds also affect the degree of exposure. At high speeds, the camera will collect light faster and will amplify the sensitivity of the sensor, but will add noise to the photo.

When manually setting the exposure, the photographer usually sets the aperture and the shutter speed independently. As for automatic exposure settings, the camera will determine the degree of exposure needed according to the light metering technique used. Because of the lack of manual controls over exposure in many low-end cameras (including most digital compact cameras), exposure compensation (if available) should be used to fine tune the automatic exposure suggested.

In case of extreme lighting conditions, it will be difficult to all cameras (including DSLRs) to get acceptable exposure for all shadows and highlights. High Dynamic Range (HDR?) photography, which employs capturing the same photograph at different exposures, is used in this case to solve this problem.

A good approach to learn more about exposure is to look at the exposure settings of your previous photographs, and compare them Look for the exposure time (shutter speed), the aperture, the ISO speed, and the exposure compensation in the data that is stored in your image files. As a result, you will get a clearer idea on how exposure can impact your photos.
