What kind of prints are available at DC Photography?


DC Phtography offers a variety of prints! Your photos are produced on premium-quality Kodak Supra Endura paper. Depending on the size of your enlargement, you can choose from 2 paper finishes: Luster and Metallic.

A selection of different print sizes are available to you.

Lustre Prints

Featuring award-winning KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Papers set the gold standard for print quality. KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Premier Paper is designed to raise the limits for portrait/social professional paper even further — with more vibrant colors.

ENDURA Premier Paper features a technological breakthrough, the latest advancement in coupler technology, which expands the capability to create high-quality print output — professional, compelling prints that accurately preserve memories. Now, due to Kodak’s innovative cyan dispersion and emulsion technology, you can benefit from an even larger colour gamut, all the while maintaining clean whites, rich blacks, and realistic skin tones.

Features

· Increased colour gamut for stronger, brighter, more vibrant colours

· Natural-looking skin tones

· Improved D-Min for cleaner-looking whites

· Improved D-Max capability for bold, rich blacks

· Clean, sharp text and graphics for photo books, greeting cards and more

· Over 100 years before noticeable fading in typical home display; over 200 years before noticeable fading in dark storage


Metallic Prints

With a glossy finish and unique metallic appearance, these prints have extra visual interest and depth. They are printed on long-lasting Kodak Professional Endura Metallic paper.

This paper uses a proprietary combination of film laminate layers that produce striking, three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background. The effect is sometimes described as “chrome on paper.”

You’ll see extreme sharpness, brightness, and colour saturation with an intense black density that increases its appeal. The proprietary laminate layers also increase the durability and tear resistance of the final print, increasing the opportunities for display applications.

Features

· Distinctive, eye-catching, metallic look

· Increased color gamut for stronger, brighter, more vibrant colors

· Natural-looking skin tones

· Excellent D-Min for clean-looking whites

· Higher D-Max capability for bold, rich blacks

· Clean, sharp text and graphics for photo books, greeting cards and more


Canvases

Fine Art Canvases are Gallery Wrapped on solid stretcher-frames with a 2” profile. These are available in a wide array of standard sizes, and come standard with sawtooth hangers and bumpers, ready for display. The unique solvent finish is resistant to moisture, fingerprints and other similar contaminants.


At your online gallery you can order canvases in sizes from 8"x12" to 40"x60"


Metal Prints

Metal prints are a unique medium for presenting images. The process involves infusing dye directly into a coated aluminum substrate. The end result is a vibrant impressive print with great detail and resolution. Our lab has developed a unique extruded aluminum frame, inset on the back, which allows for a modern way to hang and display these prints.

Metal Print sample

Metal prints from our lab are created with coated aluminum panels with a High Gloss white base that provides the brilliance of photographic paper and the added impact only a metal substrate can provide.

At your online gallery you can order metal prints in sizes from 16"x20" to 24"x36"


12'' x 12'' Premium Photo Book

Premium photo books are perfect for showcasing any special event. They are printed to the highest quality photographic paper. A laminated cover protects your most cherished moments. Feature your special memories in a premium photo book.

For your convenience, you can book a free in person consultation to discuss the images to be used on your album and the quantity of pages you want to select.


How DFC Photography ensures your prints will look right on different photo print sizes?


Depending on the choice you make for the printing size the aspect ratio of you images may change.

All your Digital images are presented on your gallery at the same aspect ratio they are shoot 3:2 (standard DSLR camera aspect ratio).

Aspect Ratio

So, what is aspect ratio? The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in 3:2. When you order a 8x10 print or any other size where the height and width is not a multiple of 3:2 your image will be cropped.

After you place your order DC Photography reviews your order to ensure all the crops look good and that you do not end up loosing an important part of your image. We do this carefully so you don't have to worry yourself. For example notice on the image above how a 8x10 will be cropped from a original 3:2 image, a portion of the image (in this case "left") is cropped out.
