Printing
High Tower Photography offers three mediums which best captures and celebrates scenes from around the world.
Archival Giclée print on Felix Schoeller True Fibre Matt paper, 200GSM (example)
Employing a spraying method, modified inkjet printers can precisely match colours to give true representation of the original work. The 200GSM paper selected has a warm white undertone, and paired with the Giclée method, allows colour to be accurately portrayed whilst giving it a true sense of depth within the work.
Diasec® (example)
A unique method first invented in 1969, the work is first printed on fine art or photographic paper before being chemically bonded to a sheet of transparent acrylic glass. The chemical bond leaves the work sealed to archival standards – dust and air free. Once bonded, the work is mounted on a unique Aluminium and plastic composite material called Diabond®. This material acts as a strong substrate leaving the work finished flat with a high gloss finish.
Brushed Aluminium (example)
For a truly unique finish, brushed aluminium pieces offer the chance for your print to not only stand out with it’s own vibrance and lustre, but to also interact with its surroundings and live within its realm of colour – reflecting and working with its surroundings. This finish is surprisingly lightweight for its achievable sizes, incredibly strong and is sure to stand out in any setting, indoors or out.
