Inkjet prints made at O'Brien Photo Imaging are made with the latest Archival Epson Ultrachrome K-3 pigments and can have a life expectancy greater than 200 years. These prints are often called Pigment Prints or Pigment on Paper


PAPERS THAT HAVE THAT PHOTO LOOK

Crane Museo Silver Rag
- glossy heavyweight with some texture, excellent for sepia or brown toned prints
Epson Exhibition Fiber glossy - glossy heavyweight paper with a bit less texture
Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk - Our newest addition: a very smooth
baryta coated paper that looks and feels similar to Ilford's traditional air dried glossy darkroom papers.




Archival inkjet prints made from negatives, slides or files and output to either Epson Exhibition Fiber glossy, Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk or Crane Museo Silver Rag paper. We recommend the Silver Rag for prints to be warm toned. The Epson Exhibition Fiber and Ilford Galerie Gold are colder toned and work best for a selenium type tone. All three work well with color.

Clockwise from top left: "Blackwater Reflections - Ona Beach, Or.", "Yosemite Reflections", "Moolach Beach, Or." and "Redwoods - Jedediah Smith Area",

Photos by Walt O'Brien.

All three papers has a life expectancy equal to or better than a Black and White photograhpic print from the darkroom. When printed in color they have a life expectancy many times that of a traditional photographic color print.


PAPERS FOR PAINTING AND DRAWING REPRODUCTIONS
Arches Textured, Hahnemule German Etching and DAS Geo Canvas




Watercolor by Sally Lemon
of Battleground, Wa.

Printed on Arches Textured



Guache painting by Sandi O'Brien
Eugene, Oregon

Printed on Hahnemuhle German Etching


Arches Textured is ideal for printing original watercolors or any art that is created on a similar surface. The life expectancy of a print on this material is similar to the original.

Hahnemule German Etching is another fine art paper with a finer tooth. It has excellent color saturation for duplicating rich originals.


DAS Geo Canvas




Original Oil by Anne McGlade of Eugene, Or.

Printed on DAS Geo Canvas


GEO Canvas is an actual canvas designed for inkjet printing. It can be stretched on a frame like any canvas. It works well with any image but is especially good for oil originals. It has a glossy surface.


Other papers include Epson Glossy, Epson Premium Lustre and DAS Cool White Matte.These papers are less expensive but have the full range of colors available in more expensive papers. Life expectancy is shorter than any of the premium papers, but is still better than traditional color photographs.
