Lightjet C-Type
Professional photographers’ preferred choice for exhibitions, C-type or chromogenic colour prints are actual full-colour, professional photographic prints.
Produced from digital images, colour negatives or slides, these prints are made by exposing specialised, light-sensitive, photographic paper to light. The paper is then developed and washed using traditional photographic techniques to produce an actual colour photographic print and not an ink-on-paper/photo-quality print.
In addition to full-colour photographic prints, we’re proud to offer a highly specialised service: the running of true black and white prints, using fibre-based black and white paper, on our LightJet printer.
Archival properties:
Using archival media, prints are guaranteed to last between 80–100 years, with the exception of direct sunlight, storage and most importantly, the way the prints are handled.
Turnaround time:
2–3 days, depending on how many other orders there are in our queue.
Our maximum 300 dpi C-type print sizes are:
- Matt, gloss and metallic: 1200 x 2800 mm
- Fibre Black & White: 1200 x 1200 mm
