My trusty Minolta X500 once more.

Software

Once again, Adobe Photoshop, as well as Illustrator for a lot of the outlines used to generate the often complex masks within Photoshop alpha channels.

Hardware

Apple Macintosh Dual Process G4 with an Ultra160 SCSI hard disk sub-system.

Mounting and Laminating

The images were expertly laminated and mounted by the fine craftsmen at Q Print Finishing Services. Thanks to Rick and his gang of mounting and laminating artisans.

Looking Sideways

Sales

The images are sold as limited edition art prints. Each print will have a maximum of 25 prints (except for the very large "eye II" which is limited to 10), all printed individually to the same colour profile settings on premium inkjet gloss stock. All prints are laminated with a premium satin finish. Standard prints are supplied rolled up and ready for mounting and framing.

Mounting onto flat dimensionally-stable forex board is optional. A range of framing options are available. Prices for both are available on application.

Printers

The images in this show are all printed out on a ColorSpan DisplayMaker Mach 12, a 1.8 metre wide

Each image is laminated for protection from UV, moisture and fingerprints and then mounted on rigid dimensionally-stable forex board for long life and stability.
Large Format inkjet printer which is serviced, sold and supplied in Australia by Precision Images. Thanks to Jeff at Precision Images for all of your help.

The DisplayMaker Mach 12 is a fantastic machine with output that surpassed my expectations. It has 12 individual printing heads designed to build and layer the colours down onto the paper in a seamless photographic quality image.

These machines are getting so much better every year and with the DisplayMaker Mach 12 I've finally found a printer that can handle some of the images I've created for the show that a year ago could not have been contemplated. Just like me to stay on the "bleeding edge" of the technology. A case in point is the largest image, "eye II", which measures 2.6 metres X 1.4 metres and was originally designed to be printed in two strips and then assembled and mounted. The Mach 12 with its 1.8 metre wide capacity can do it in one piece.
