In Color is happy to announce the arrival and installation of a new Large Format giclée (ink jet, fine art) printer. The brand new iPF8300 has replaced our iPF8000.

Among the benefits that came with this upgrade includes a new 12-color ink set called, LUCIA EX. These new inks not only produce a significanly larger color gamut, they offer better abrasion resistance and less metamerism. The new printer hardware also utilizes improved printheads and better paper handling.

We immediately noticed brighter colors when we printed some samples for the Santa Barbara Bowl which included dramatic concert lighting. Previously difficult to obtain blues jummped off the page. The results are phenominal! This machine truely is one of the finest fine art printers on the market. We continue to offer prints up to 44 inches wide in almost unlimited lengths.

All prints made for our online stores (including GregYoungPublishing.com) are now produced with the new iPF8300.

In Color became a digital Print Service Provider (PSP) in 1991 when we began offering digital proofing & fine art reproduction on our Iris printer and affordable digital color printing on our Canon Color Laser Copier (CLC). Iris Graphics pioneered high-fidelity, high-resolution, digital inkjet printing with predictable, accurate color control. And Canon pioneered affordable, high-speed color laser printing. Since then, principal, Art Fisher, has undergone two different certified training courses by Iris engineers, and exercised his training on a multitude of printers.

Over the last twenty years, In Color has installed and run dozens of different models of inkjet and electrostatic printers from all the top vendors, incorporating the full gamut of digital printing technologies. We are no stranger to predictable color and the science & art of both proofing and fine art reproduction. We have a thorough understanding of the entire process, including workflow, hardware, software, paper and ink.

We have been authorized resellers for several different print hardware and software vendors, and have done installations and on-site calibration all over the state. Today we provide proofing & fine art printing to publishers, select artists, photographers and galleries throughout the country.

We currently host a Canon IPF8300 large format printer for our in-house fine art and proofing jobs. This machine features the LUCIA EX archival pigmented inkset, utilizing a 12-color, dual print head system with a total of 30,720 nozzles, and it prints on papers, canvases and other substrates up to 44 inches wide, though we often print larger widths in multiple sections. We keep this monster highly calibrated and are able to achieve archival prints which will last well over 100 years.
