The CMC Photo studio has been established as a result of the fusion of two elements – knowledge and experience in the field of colour management and printing technology, and the passion for the art of photography.
We offer you the highest level of competence as well as all the tools which may facilitate the photo printing process. The goal pursued in our studio is to take over the responsibility for the technological process of creating a material form of an image prepared by photographers, graphic designers and all others involved in its creation.
Therefore, our task is to perform all the activities in the process – from scanning, through preparation of the file for printing, selection of paper, printing, to framing of photographs or prints.
Our studio also provides comprehensive advice on preparing the files for printing:
We offer the preview of the image on a reference monitor and the comparison of colours in reference lighting, which gives the Client the opportunity to verify the print and correct it if necessary.
The Clients interested in performing the printing process on their own are offered the possibility of creating ICC profiles for monitors and printers for them, along with the provision of advisory services and technological support.
We provide individual and group courses and training in the field of colour management in graphical environment and thus we raise the awareness of technologies and processes and – consequently – the confidence during the talks with the prospective service providers.
We are the only company in Wrocław to offer a broad range of consulting and educational services in the scope of colour management.
We offer factual and technical support in the implementation of advanced photographic projects, and thus guarantee their successful completion.
Printing
We apply the pigment printing technology with the use of EPSON printers and we use only original inks with colour guarantee, which protects the print from ageing.
We offer a wide range of photo papers from recognised companies which satisfy the standards for archival quality – HAHNEMUEHLE, EPSON, ILFORD, AWAGAMI. It gives huge possibilities of matching the base with the content of the image, which guarantees the stability of its colours.
The printing of photo works is certified by us with HAHNEMUEHLE and DIGIGRAPHIE certificates, which provides the Client with certainty that the applied materials and technologies comply with the standards.
In addition, we print contract proofs on paper certified by the FOGRA institute, and thus ensure full measurement and visual compliance with industry standards.
Binding
We can bind all works printed in our studio in compliance with the museum standards as set by the Fine Art Trade Guild.
We use classic framing with museum glass and passepartout so that it forms a protective layer for the photograph, does not interfere with its autonomy, and guarantees the preservation of prints for a long time.
We also frame photographs – depending on the Client’s needs and purpose – with their mounting onto a DIBOND aluminium composite sheet or foamed PVC (FOREX), which provides a wide range of aesthetic choices. Mounting is performed with the use of NESCHEN materials.
For frames, we use solid wood ( oak, ash, sycamore, alder, etc.) or aluminium profiles from the renowned NIELSEN company.
