Digital Printing Services

Computer Graphics 
We prefer using Macintosh or Windows based computers and primarily Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Macromedia Freehand software to create graphic images. The process is created from color transparencies, photographs, composite artwork and computer files submitted by clients. Our designers then create 'TIFF' files compatible with Michelangelo printing system.

Print Production 
The Michelangelo produces four color process, dotless (continuous tone) printing. The systems proprietary software allows us to create four quality levels of printing to suit the economics of each assignment. 

The quality levels are:
Fine arts …………….	our best print output
Photographic ………..	for close-up viewing
Display ……………...	especially for exhibits
Outdoor …………….	for distance viewing

 

Materials Management 
We have successfully printed on a variety of surfaces, rancing from lightweight to heavy weight textiles, flame retardant materials, wood, laminated products, uneven surfaces, ceramic tiles, metal sheets and even stone.

While exotic surfaces are a specialty of Image 79 Studios, the vast majority of our work is still done on Vinyl, Gesso Canvas, Polyester and Cotton Fabric. 

We invite you to give us a challenge. 

Finishing Department 
Because of the limitation of sizes of materials available we usually have to tile large murals and banners together. 

Finishing functions:
Hems …………..	completely sewn perimeters
Seams ………....	linear joints between materials
Sleeves ………...	enclosed pockets for suspension or weight balancing
Velcro ………....	hook and loop fastening systems
Grommets ….......	riveted eyelets used for suspension
Laminates ……...	cold applied or hot sealed plasticized overcoatings
Coatings …….....	prime painting used on wood and surfaces prior to printing
Sealants ……......	sprayed or painted overcoats as special surface applications
