Photo Printing

Professional photo prints.
Two systems. One standard.

Every print produced in our Waukesha studio on professional-grade equipment color calibrated, professionally handled, and built to a standard you won't find at an online print service. We run two dedicated dye-based photo printers so you can choose the output that fits your project and your budget. One thing doesn't change: quality.

Our Equipment

Two professional printers.
One for every project.

Both are professional dye-based systems producing vibrant, color-accurate photo prints. The 8-color system is our premium platform for color-critical and portrait work. The 6-color system delivers professional quality output at an accessible price point. Same sizes. Same studio standard. Different tiers.

⬤ Premium Tier
Canon 8-Color Dye System
Print Sizes4×6 up to 13×19 · Borderless available
Color8-color · Widest gamut · Enhanced reds, blues & skin tones
Black & WhiteExceptional · 3 dedicated monochrome channels
CostPremium · Priced for the quality difference you can see
The go-to for portraits, color-critical work, and any print where the difference between good and exceptional is visible. Eight ink channels working together produce a color depth and tonal smoothness that simply cannot be matched by a six-color system.
⬤ Professional Tier
Epson 6-Color Dye System
Print Sizes4×6 up to 13×19 · Borderless available
Color6-color · Vibrant, accurate professional output
Black & WhiteGood · 2 dedicated monochrome channels
CostAccessible · Professional quality at an everyday price point
Professional photo output that punches well above its price point. Ideal for family photos, portraits, events, volume orders, and any project where professional quality matters but premium pricing doesn't fit the budget.
Regardless of Workflow
White-Glove
Handling.
Always.
Every order reviewed. Every print inspected. Every piece handled as if it's the only one in the studio because when it's yours, it is. The ink system changes. The printer changes. The standard never does.
Side by Side

How they compare.
So you can choose right.

Paper & Media

The right surface
for every image.

Paper choice affects how your image looks and feels. We stock professional photo media for both systems. Not sure what's right? Tell us what you're printing and we'll advise.

Glossy
High sheen, maximum color vibrancy, deep blacks. Best for portraits, color photography, and any image where punch and saturation matter. The 8-color system delivers enhanced reds, blues, and deep blacks on glossy - the result is stunning.
8-Color + 6-Color
Most Popular
Luster
Semi-gloss with a fine texture. The most popular photo finish vibrant color with less glare than glossy and better fingerprint resistance. Excellent for portraits and general photo work on both systems.
8-Color + 6-Color
Matte
Flat finish, no glare, soft look. Great for black and white, artistic images, and prints displayed under strong lighting. The 8-color system's three monochrome channels give black and white on matte a depth that's hard to beat.
8-Color + 6-Color
Metallic
Pearlescent base with a shimmery finish that adds dimension to color photography. Striking on landscapes, wildlife, and images with strong highlights. A premium upgrade best suited to the 8-color system's wider gamut.
