    Color Management

    With almost 40 years in the Professional Photofinishing market, Color Management has always been priority one. All our machines are first calibrated with their internal software to linearize them, try we then profile each printer and paper type. Utilizing several industry standard test images, we then tweak those profile so our printers are matching back to these known, scientific color and density standards. What does this all mean to you? It means you receive back prints that have the truest representation of their respective colors and densities.
