Wednesday (April 14th): 7pm to 10pm
As a photographer you can increase your profit from a wedding, portrait assignment, model portfolio or fine art print by printing the work yourself and increasing the scale and size…
To offer this possiblity to members of the Carriage House Studio and Gallery, we now have on-line a brand new state of the art Epson 9900 wide carriage (44″) printer. The printer will produce photographic (or reproductions of paintings – glicee) in life size, or to full wall size! As you have seen in high end galleries, these large images sell for $1,000 or more… Of course we also continue to offer the Epson 3800 19″ printer for smaller size requirements (model or actor’s portfolios…)
With the top of line papers now available from Hahnemuehle, Ilford, and Crane Museo, you
can now offer you images to clients with the same archival quality used at the Corcoran Gallery and photographers such as Annie Leibovitz!
To keep the cost of printing attractive, and learn how to price and use this printing to maximum benefit, we have an experienced professional printer (Ashleigh) who will be providing instructional classes on how to use the printer.
