UNCOMPROMISING VIVIDNESS AND DETAIL

 

Thanks to our ten-year experience in the field of making backlit photographic prints, we are now able to create IMPECCABLE TAILOR-MADE LIGHTBOXES MODELED ON THE REQUESTS OF EVEN THE MOST DEMANDING CLIENTS.

All this is made possible by the total internalization of the complex productive steps required by the production of state of the art fine art light boxes. For this reason the 600 square meters of our main facility in Florence hosts non only the best printing technologies but also a workshop complete with precision equipment.
This is how we can provide higly customizable and impeccable works of art to our international clientele.

In order to provide the best results we use latest generation wide gamut printers that produce vibrant and deep images. These prints once backlit with a special LED system come to life turning the photos into stunning visuals

Thanks to our latest generation LED lighting system we guarantee uniform illumination of the images even on extreme formats.
Ourt artisanal fine art lightboxes are a solution which, thanks to its unique characteristics such as not needing external light points, is highly appreciated by both the art world and the interior design world.

EXLUSIVE ARTWORKS BUILT AROUNG THE ARTIST'S CONCEPT:

 

As previously mentioned, thanks to decades of experience in the field of high end lightboxes (both fine art and commercial), our laboratory has reached an advanced level of design and craftsamanship.

These fine art lightboxes are unique pieces as there is a strong artisan component in their production. It is thanks to this sartorial approach that the lightboxes we create have no size limits and are free from production standards.The first thing we ask those who decide to rely on our experience are the final dimensions of the work in order to already start with an idea regarding the type of chassis and files to be used.The total insourcing of the processing phases allows us great flexibility and the possibility of creating totally customized fine art lightboxes based on customer requests.

Once we have found the most suitable chassis and frame to satisfy the client's specifications, we move on to one of the most interesting phases of our work and that is that of COLLABORATIVE PRINTING in order to obtain an excellent correspondence in the printing phase with respect to what we visualize together with our customer. Thanks to a print rip software we can work calmly knowing that once backlit our fine art print will return an impeccable result

To give our customers the maximum choice, our photographic laboratory offers the possibility of making backlit prints both using GICLEE TECHNOLOGY ON OPAL PAPER and with LAMBDA DURST DIGITAL ENLARGER ON DURATRANS PAPER. We recommend fine art inkjet printing for images with saturated and bright colors or for black and white, while chromogenic printing for images with a photographic and analogue taste.

Once the delicate part relating to the print has been completed, the latter is mounted on a specially worked Plexiglas plate using laser knurling in order to uniformly diffuse the light. In fact, our lightboxes have the total absence of vignetting and other types of aberrations that unfortunately are present in almost all commercial lightboxes.

The continuous search for alternative solutions has led us to miniaturize the electrical compartment of our lightboxes to the maximum, so much so that the only thing that remains visible is the power cord, of which it is still possible to choose both the shape and the color in order to be able to insert at best the work in its final installation context.

 

 

TELECOMANDO PER LIGHTBOX FINE ART

One of the wireless remotes avaliable to our clientele.

 

All our handcrafted lightboxes are equipped with a wireless remote control which controls not only the ignition but also the luminous intensity of the LED apparatus. This function is extremely interesting as it allows the user to adapt the light emission of the work in real time and to transform it into an interesting point of light in the darkest moments of the day.

As an alternative to the wireless remote control, it is possible to install a button on the back of the chassis that simultaneously controls both the power and the brightness adjustment of the backlighting. This solution is extremely convenient as it is completely invisible and does not require operations such as changing the batteries of the aforementioned remote control. Here's an example of an on/off button and brightness control integrated on the back of our lightboxes.

 

  CLASSIC LIGHTBOX FOR WALL INSTALLATION

In its last forty years of activity, our photographic laboratory has had the pleasure of promptly adopting the best technologies of the moment. This applies to both its fine art printing sector and that of craftsmanship.  

Clearly the most sudden changes occur in the world of information technology and high tech, while as far as frames and mounting materials are concerned, progress is extremely slow However, the advent of LED light illuminators represented an epochal transition for us as regards the construction of our handcrafted lighbtox. Within a few years led strips arrived on the market which in terms of power, quality and stability first rivaled neon and then largely outclassed them.

Having been among the first to experiment with LEDs as a method for backlighting fine art prints, today we are able to safely create ultra-light lightboxes, even of very large formats, which can be easily installed on the wall with a section thickness of 7 cm. These few centimeters contain not only the lighting fixture but also the entire electronic control part and the transformer. Furthermore, thanks to a wireless remote control that is supplied as standard with all lightboxes, it is possible to remotely control functions such as switching on and adjusting the power of the backlighting.
