Inkjet printing

With a wider variety of materials to print on, inkjet offers a great deal of flexibility for printing large format and specialty signage. We use pigmented inks that are far more archival than dye based inks used by most printers. Our inkjet prints are even suitable for outdoor use.

Portland Color can use provided digital files created in any of the popular desktop publishing (Quark, PageMaker, Powerpoint, Word, Publisher), Illustration (Freehand, Illustrator), and photo editing programs (Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint). Provided scans should typically be 150 dpi in the RGB color space. We also create a high resolution scans from chromes, negatives or reflective artwork.
