In a step towards revitalizing the conventional approach to top-end printing, theprintspace is the first ‘DIY’ printing lab in London. The ethos at theprintspace is to give photographers and visual artists total control over the final print, whilst offering proper technical support, full instructions, and access to the kind of high-end equipment which currently only the most successful creative companies can afford. By incorporating the same professional standard of colour profiling into a user-driven ‘creative process’, theprintspace negotiates the prolab’s biggest problem – offering the standard of services professional creatives have come to expect, but making it available for more than a select few. theprintspace is delighted to sponsor the photomonth photo-open. |
