Our archival printers are among the best available for fine art and photography reproduction. We offer specially chosen combinations of materials and finishes that are sure to create a print that lasts for generations and match the mood of your photo perfectly. We use top quality Lucia pigment-based inks which are archival and extremely stable, so you can be sure your prints will look beautiful for decades to come.

"Wilhelm Imaging Research is currently testing the Lucia pigment-based inks," said Henry Wilhelm, president of Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. "A review of preliminary test data indicates that prints made with LUcia pigmented inks and select photo and fine art papers will have WIR Display Permanence Ratings in excess of 100 years for color images and significantly beyond that for monochrome. The pigmented inks also provide excellent short term color drift behavior which is critically important for color managed workflows and for proofing applications."
