In Color was recently commissioned to create high-end giclée prints from original film by renown photographer, Leigh Wiener. The images were hand selected by John Carter Cash and Devik Wiener for the Cash family's personal collection.
The aging film, showing the distress of forty years in storage, was scanned at a very high resolution. Art Fisher was chosen for his expertise in making such images come back to life. Final output was produced on our Epson 9800 for beautiful giclée prints that will be appreciated for 150+ years.
We know the Cash family will be happy with these newly discovered images, depicting their legendary father in some of his best years.

Ground Zero Software (GZS) is a leader in their field. Their flagship product, Lab Tracker HIV/Liver, currently tracks more than 100,000 HIV patients and their medical records.When GZS needed to update their web presence, they turned to In Color. Together with JWHollis Corporate Writing Services, In Color transformed the old “product brochure” website into a new information portal, insuring that GZS remains dominant.
Modeled after In Color's website, the new labtracker.com portal is now live, and In Color and GZS are focusing on the next stage: bringing their user forum online. There are hundreds of Lab Trackerof users just waiting to exchange ideas in the forums.
The last phase in the supercharged web presence process will be to finish installation of the new Help Desk software. This state-of-the-art software will integrate with the website, allowing paid-support users to initiate trouble tickets online. Lab Tracker technical support staff from all over the country will be able to track, manage and assign support services via the central database which controls this system. All closed trouble tickets will result in an entry into a fully-searchable knowledge base, further enabling GZS clients while saving the support team considerable time and revenue.
Our new Epson Stylus Pro 9800 Printer is now up and running. As we generate custom ICC Color Profiles for our particular unit, paper and ink combination, we are starting to output images which are absolutely stunning! The Stylus Pro 9800 is Epson's latest release of Fine Art printing machines. Capable of output up to 44 inches wide, the 9800 is the most versatile printer in Epson's line. Critics have acclaimed this machine the highest-quality fine art printer available.
The 9800 makes the following improvements over the previous flagship model, the 9600: higher-resolution output, up to a 50% improved print longevity, wider color gamut, even smoother gradations in fine color transitions, especially in black and white prints. The 9800 utilizes the new Ultrachrome K3 inset which offers both a larger color gamut and a third gray cartridge. This ink set now contains Black, Light Black and Light Light Black cartridges, which coupled together with the Light Cyan and Light Magenta produce some of the most amazing black and white prints available.
Ask to see some samples, or purchase an image from the In Color Store, as all our prints are now made with the new 9800.
The next piece of fine art equipment we'll be adding to our arsenal is a liquid laminate coater. This machine will be used primarily for putting a layer of a varnish-like coating on printed on canvas, protecting the surface from handling and the elements. Canvas printed on our Epson 9800 and coated with an archival coating will last in excess of 150 years in standard gallery conditions!
