Questions
Do you print everyday photos, like 10×15 prints from a holiday?+
No. We work with professional photographers and artists, and every order is handled as a gallery project. For snapshots, a regular photo lab is a better fit.
When are you open?+
By appointment only. Message us on WhatsApp or Instagram to arrange a time.
What is a Giclée print?+
A fine inkjet print made with pigment inks rather than dyes. Pigment is more stable than dye, so the print keeps its colour far longer, and a wide ink set reproduces subtle tones and deep blacks.
What is the largest print you can make?+
Up to 60×90 cm.
Do you frame?+
Not ourselves, but we will refer you to a framer we work with.
Can you print from film?+
Yes. We develop and scan 35 mm film (15 AZN a roll) and print from the scans, or make silver gelatin prints straight from your negatives in the darkroom.
Which inks and papers do you use?+
Original Epson UltraChrome K3 inks on Epson and Fopex papers. Baryta and fine-art papers are arriving soon.
