Fine Art Printing

We approach every printing project from a photographer's perspective while at the same time taking into consideration the artist's intent. Our state-of-the-art printing studio, combined with our attention to detail and technical know-how, allows us to make exquisite prints for our clients - often in a one-on-one working environment. Our archival ink-on-paper prints represent the state-of-the-art in inkjet printing. We use Epson archival pigment inks and a variety of acid free papers from manufactures such as Epson, Hahnemuhle and Innova. For those projects that require something unique, we offer a variety of specialty paper including: canvas, watercolor paper and waterproof Tyvek.

Print On Demand Services: Once you have a color corrected "digital negative" or "archive file" saved to CD, you are then able to enter the wonderful world of "print on demand" fine art printing at Pivot Media. No longer are you required to print an entire edition of an artwork all at once. Simply print the sheets you need immediately, you can always print more later as needed. If you wish, we can archive a copy of your digital file at our studio so you can simply phone in your print orders. We can even drop ship to your customers.

Step One: preparing the file - Working from your "archive file," or "digital negative", we first view the image together on one of our color calibrated monitors and make minor color and tonal adjustments as needed. Additional adjustments and/or retouching are available at an additional charge.

Step Two: selecting the printing media - Next we review the variety of printing options available to you, taking into consideration the characteristics of the image. We ask you to select your favorite.

Step Three: soft-proofing - Soft-proofing the image on a computer monitor helps us analyze the image for any color and/or tonal shifts that might occur during the printing process. If necessary, we make an adjustment to compensate.

Step Four: sign-off - At this stage we ask you to view the image one final time on our monitor and commit to the color and tonal qualities as seen on screen. We will, to the best of our ability, match this image.
