John Searing, creator of sand hopper gallery, contacted me about having a series of black and white landscape photo prints made. He’d had issues with previous printers not being able to get the tonal range right on his images. Also getting true neutral black and white photo prints had been a problem.

With the HP Z3100 printer, making his prints was easy to. John’s work can been seen at his website sand hopper gallery

Fiona Goulding contacted me regarding having her artworks scanned for archival and future reproduction. Fiona is a visual artist with four oil paintings she wanted high quality scans made of. Above are 2 of the 4 she had me do. Fiona was very happy with the final copies made.

Alf came to see me about having a proper panoramic photo made of the view from his house. Situated in Ngunguru, Northland, New Zealand, Alf had taken a series of photos and taken the best of them and hand joined them togther. With mismatching colours, large tape joins and generally looking a mess, Alf wanted a nice large clean panorama photo print.

Alf had taken his photos with a film camera, and still had the negatives. Using my wonderful Nikon 9000 slide and negative scanner, I was able to produce large detailed images, and join them together to produce an 820mm wide print. The difference between the before and after prints was night and day. Colours were better and all the marks in the sky had been removed. Alf was thrilled with the end result.
