The size a print appears on a wall is an optical illusion between actual print size and size of wall space.
A photograph has to be printed large enough to own and dominate it’s display area, they need to be large.
However, there is nothing worse than a photograph over enlarged and the quality falling apart. The images
are not enlarged unless they go beyond 7 feet wide. This means, prints dominate a wall space with such
resolution and clarity of detail, that they take the viewer into the image rather than just looking at the image.
Three pages try to convey the image quality: Zoomify, 7ft 01 and 02 and Higher Resolution Example, (links).
The Corporate Art page (link), gives an idea of a large, completed print in a corporate environment.
The D3 digital back captures the world's largest digital file. The Seitz 6x17 is the only digital panoramic
camera in the world. Together, the camera captures an amazing 160 megapixels or 21,250 x 7,500 pixels,
912 megabyte, 16 bit tiff files. To put this in context, this produces a printed image 7 feet wide at 240 dpi,
printed 1:1, without the need to interpolate or enlarge the digital capture file providing maximum quality.
Once an image is enlarged, the image looses quality. Small cameras are limited to small prints.
Canson Infinity is the latest generation of papers crafted by the Canson & Arches mills, France, renowned
worldwide for manufacturing the finest art papers, thanks to more than 515 years of expertise. Old masters
like Edgar Degas, Ingres, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol have chosen to adopt these fine papers. What
makes Canson unique, is that they favour the use of natural minerals and purest materials, without any
Optical Brightening Agents. This makes Canson papers superbly archival and age resistant.
Combining the highest resolution image in the world, taken on the most advanced 21st Century technology
with fine printing papers and meticulous post production, the result is artistic, innovative and impressive.
Like a painter, the most important element of a photograph is the
mood and atmosphere that sparks into life during post production.
