FRANZ JANTZEN

I offer custom digital imaging services that include museum-quality scanning, digital restoration, and both small and large-scale pigment ink prints on the highest quality papers for maximum permanence. I use the Canon Lucia Pro inkset with a 44" Canon PROGRAF 4600 printer and a full range of papers and textures which include Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art, Somerset Velvet, and Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl for the greatest print quality and permanence.


I am also one of the last commercial printers I the country to offer fiber-based b+w silver gelatin printing. I do so for two reasons. The first is aesthetic: their look is fundamentally different from the inkjet print and this can be the best or preferred solution for a given negative. The second is because a toned, fiber-based silver gelatin print is the most permanent, or “archival” photographic or digital media available.


If you are interested in custom digital or b+w photographic services, please contact me at:
