This is a sample of a photograph rendered in "sepia tones". Sepia tones means a four color photograph printed in sepia tones and looks much like a black + white photograph, only richer. Sepia tone prints can not be made from black + white images. Sepia tone prints are from full color photographs in order to produce rich, deep prints.

Since all of our photographs are color, all of our photographs are available in sepia tones. Sepia Tone prints are printed on Epson series printers using the Epson 2200 and the Epson 7600 on photo enhanced paper using archival inks. This type of printing is called Giclee printing. Giclee (jhee-clay) - Derived from the french verb giclee meaning to squirt. The term giclee print typically connotes a certain elevation in printmaking technology. Images are high resolution digital scans printed with archival quality inks onto high quality archival papers. The giclee process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.

We can develop a custom sepia tone private collection for your interior design or you can use on of the photo series we have already developed.

We also create black + white, duo tone and color photograph collections. We developed a black + white photograph collection for "Mckennas by the Bay" in Longbeach California and a color photograph collection for the US. Coast Guard. Color photograph collections are available in either Giclee archival prints or traditional photograph prints on Kodak paper. We use OFOTO to print our large color photographs.
