RE: Getting images printed in larger formats

["David J. Bookbinder" <david_bookbinder@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

I'm not sure at all, yet, how to answer those questions. I am just beginning
this process of figuring out how best to present these images.

I have made a series of abstract images through various manipulations of
what were originally digital photographs. They look like abstract art, not
photographs, and I'd like to reproduce them, large, on a medium that will
make them look non-photographic. I have no fixed budget. I'd probably start
out small, with just a half-dozen images, and then go from there. What would
your cost/sq ft be for, say, prints made on paper with a canvas-like
texture? As for inks, I now use a cheap six-color Epson inkjet to create the
originals, and they are fairly faithful to the monitor image, though I'd
prefer a wider gamut. I print on Kodak papers that claim to encapsulate the
ink to give it reasonable fade-resistance even when not kept under glass.
I'd be looking for the same, or better, gamut and longevity, which I assume
is possible either with a better inkjet (and wider range of inks) or a
photographic process.

Does this make it any easier to come up with a range of prices?

- David

Hi David-

I have an Epson 7000- I could print square up to 24" (paper size, not image
size).  You could also talk to Mark at (I think) Color Services out in
Needham- I'm not sure if he has a 7000 or 9000 series printer.  He will be
much more expensive than I am, however.  ;-)

What kind of images are they?  What papers are you thinking of.  What inks?

What is your budget?

regards,
