Custom Digital provides the highest quality drum
scanning, Ultrachrome, and multi gray and black ink carbon pigment
digital printing. We use Epson 9800 and 9600 printers with an advanced
RIP giving extremely precise control over how the inks go to paper,
colors are calibrated and matched. It is specifically optimized for
control of Cone monochromatic inks for the B&W process, and for
color carefully linearized, optimized and profiled. This combination
represents one of the most advanced approaches to black and white
digital printing available, and outstanding color on a variety of
surfaces. The RIP also allows us to make special Ultrachrome ink setups
for monochromatic printing outside the gamut of the Cone inks, a strong
sepia for example, that yield superior results to standard color
printing. We also use it for unique Ultrachrome monochromatic setups
with the gloss black for use on the photo surface papers quickly coming
into their own in the marketplace.
For monochromatic ink printing we use a custom mixed warm ink set and a
cool set with a tint designed for the slight eggplant hue of a selenium
toned print. This, along with the options provided by the software,
allows the artist to select between all warm, all selenium, or many
blending options from the two ink sets including split tones. These
inks are primarily carbon pigment and designed for “the absolute
greatest available longevity and monochromatic color stability” by the
manufacturer, Cone Editions Press, the leading innovator in the
development of fine digital monochromatic printing.
Our primary matte papers are Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, Hahnemuhle William
Turner, and Hahnemuhle German Etching, These papers are 100% rag
and/or acid free and coated for maximum ink density and nonexistent
bleed and mottle. We also print on standard photo surfaces with the
Ultrachrome inks, and constantly receive new papers for testing and
setup. Most exciting are the newer papers from Innova and others with
more elegant photo surfaces and thickness. We will also linearize our
processes on more unusual papers for special projects.
We maintain close working relationships with industry innovators and
our excellent suppliers to keep the services we offer at the leading
edge of craft.
With many years of experience, the highest quality materials, hardware
and software, our goal is to work with artists to meet their specific
needs and bring their images alive on paper.
