I love the in depth explanation this young man gave us.

Well done to the young guys. Not only having the client watch you but film you and do it with the calmness they displayed shows their true skill and professionalism. Thanks for showing the process. Truly shows why this stuff is not cheap but gives truly wonderful results.

Wow. I didn’t realize it was such a delicate and time intensive process. Thank you and Chromatics for sharing!

Thanks, very interesting to watch. I print directly onto acrylic using a flat bed UV printer 900 x 1200mm at 1200dpi, as you say the image underneath the acrylic always looks fabulous 🙂

That is really cool! Do you have a similar machine to roll out the backing under pressure?

What a great, informative video. As an amateur photographer, I have wondered how this is done. What a process! Thank you for making this vide.

What a wonderful, informative video! I certainly could never work in a place like that because I was holding my breath the whole time. Yikes! That Nashville at night picture looked so cool.

Right!? Me too! Plus imagine doing that entire process four more times just to complete my order!

Hi, dear friend. This video is super awesome. Especially when I look at it as a printer. This process can change conventional printing. It is already used for flyers and small print runs of advertising work. I also used the spectrometer he showed you in my time as a printer. Both the black and white version and the color version of it. I would love to work for that company. What we see here is the making of a real art print. This is the result of real fine artwork. Because pressing the shutter button on the camera is not the end. The end of the process is the print. I will start with an A4 printer from Epson to print my black-and-white work. Only the work that I find suitable to hang on the wall. Friend, I can't tell you in words how happy I am with this video. This was watched with more than a lot of pleasure. And I enjoyed the results that the guys showed. These guys know what they are doing and have a passion for their work, and that is what appeals to me. Thanks, mate. Antoine.

Hey Antoine, I’m glad this video resonated with your experiences. I’ve been to a lot of big commercial printing companies from my days as an art director but this was my first trip behind the scenes in an art printing lab. It’s actually much larger than I showed with a huge art scanner and there’s a sister company in the same building that makes banners and signs and all kinds of things. And it’s Nashville so they are super friendly

these big Epson printers exist also with integrated spectrometer, I wonder why they don't use them ?

Good Day, At 22:40 you're spraying the acrylic with a special plastic cleaner... what would be the name of that product? You mentioned it helps remove static.

The one they use is called Brillianize

Very cool process. I have to admit I’m a bit surprised that it’s not more of a clean room type of environment.
@jean-claudemuller31992 ай бұрын
I guess a real cleanroom would be way to expensive to build for this type of business so they have to work very careful with no delays between steps and lots of cleaning

That answered a lot of questions I had. Now I’m just wondering what was your shooting gear used for the photography? Camera, lens?
@Keithdotson2 ай бұрын
There were five prints and the camera setup varied, but the one you saw finished was made by a Canon 5DMkIII (lens I can't recall off top of my head -- probably 17-40mm L). But that was barely enough resolution to get to 40 x 60-inches. The others were from Sony A7RIV with 61MP with a 24-70mm or 70-200mm lens -- gives plenty of resolution to get to 40 x 60.
