Lightjet printingPortland 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 300 dpi in the RGB color space. We also create high resolution scans from chromes, negatives or reflective artwork. Our OCE LightJet 430 digital printers accept rolls of photographic media in 30, 40, and 50 inch widths. The paper is fed from the roll into a drum where it is held flat. Three lasers simultaneously expose the paper to red, green and blue light, traveling on a track of compressed air and spinning to cover the 270 degree arc of photographic media. After imaging, the paper is off-loaded and processed in standard RA-4 chemistry. The resulting print is a hybrid Ð digital, in the sense that the information recorded was transmitted through computers to the enlarger, and traditional because, ultimately, silver covered photographic paper was exposed to light and processed in chemicals. LightJet prints are known for the extreme sharpness, color consistency, and longevity.
