Photo Printing

True North Image Works offers professional photo printing for everyday and milestone imagery, produced with the same care and quality standards applied to fine art work. Standard sizes are available, from wallet prints and small formats through classic sizes such as 4×6, 5×7, 8×10, and larger. Files are reviewed and prepared to ensure accurate color, proper exposure, and clean presentation.

Photo Printing Options & Ink Systems

True North Image Works offers two distinct photo printing workflows, selected based on image type, intended use, and presentation expectations. This ensures each photograph is produced using the most appropriate materials and processes without over engineering everyday prints or underdelivering on important images.

Pigment-Based Photo Printing

12+ Color Professional Ink System

For portraits, professional photography, and images intended for display or long-term keeping, True North Image Works utilizes pigment-based printing with a 12+ color ink system. This process delivers superior color accuracy, smoother tonal transitions, deeper blacks, and significantly improved longevity compared to consumer printing methods.

Pigment-based inks are especially well suited for:

  • Portraits and skin tones

  • Professional photography

  • Nicer photographs intended for framing or display

  • Images where tonal depth and color fidelity matter

This workflow is ideal when quality, permanence, and presentation are priorities.

Choosing the Right Option

Clients are welcome to choose the printing option that best fits their needs, or to consult with the studio for guidance. Recommendations are based on:

  • Image content

  • Intended display

  • Longevity expectations

  • Budget considerations

Both workflows follow the same white-glove handling standards, ensuring careful file review, controlled production, and clean presentation regardless of print type.

Dye Based Photo Printing

Everyday Photo Printing

For smaller, everyday prints such as snapshots, family photos, and casual keepsakes, True North Image Works also offers photo printing using a dye-based. This option provides clean color, efficient production, and excellent value for high-quality everyday printing.

This workflow is well suited for:

  • Everyday photographs

  • Small prints and multiples

  • Personal use and casual display

White Glove Handling

Regardless of ink system, all photo prints are reviewed, produced, and inspected with the same level of care. The difference lies in the materials and production method not in the attention given to the work.

  • Available Sizes

    Standard photo printing is available in a range of common sizes, including:

    Wallet prints

    4×6
