The Steps to a Chromira Fine Art Photographic Print
The steps we take are the foundation for the finest of photographic prints. |
| 1 |
The first step:
Photographers submitting film - We scan from 35mm slides, 4x5 and 8x10 transparencies, or color and
B/W negatives.
Those submitting digital files - We closely check and color-manage your files in our pre-flight department
to ensure you get the print you planned on. |
| 2 |
We work on your newly created digital file for color, density, and fine detail. We use color corrected
viewing booths, and light boxes specifically designed for evaluating color, and properly calibrated monitors.
Remember our goal is a superior digital file; so there are no short cuts or sloppy technique anywhere in our
workflow. |

We then create an 8x10 proof or a test strip from your file on the surface you requested. This proof is an
important visual tool for you. It provides an opportunity for you to see exactly what your work will look like on
the paper you have chosen.
Our walk-in artists
If you are working with us at our location we are here to help you evaluate your proof if you like. We will ask
you to sign the proof and return it to us before we make your final print. We will then return it to you when
you pick up the completed order.
Our ship-to artists
After you have evaluated the proof please e-mail us so we can complete your order. If you have changes
please indicate them in your email. There is no need for you to return the proof to us. |
High Resolution Scan and Proof
We make a high-resolution scan of your negative or transparency film on our state-of-the-art
Hasselblad X5 Flextight film scanner. We scan film from 35mm to 4x5 on our X5. If your film
size is 8x10 or 11x14 or even larger we scan using our Fuji 550 for optimum results.

Pre-Flight File and Proof
If you work digitally and create your own files, we will pre-flight your files and make a
proof print or test strip on the material you have requested. This provides an opportunity to check
your file, make sure it's correct, and view your work on the paper you have chosen.
