Check Out Studio LexJet!
If you haven’t yet checked out Studio LexJet, we encourage you to do so. There’s not a great deal of content on the site yet, but every week we’ll publish at least two new stories with details that go beyond what’s published in this monthly newsletter.
We also invite you to submit story leads and news items, so we can help you get wider online exposure for your projects and successes. Once your story is published on Studio LexJet, you can post a link to the item on your website, Facebook page, or Twitter.
A well-publicized, informative blog post can be as effective as a press release in letting other people know what you can do. Many local and national journalists, trade-magazine editors, conference organizers and event planners now use Twitter and search engines to locate new sources of expertise, case studies, and ideas for their own programs and publications.
Studio LexJet is still a brand-new venture, but we expect it to grow quickly. We already have dozens of great stories in development, showing how LexJet customers are supporting worthy causes, creating interesting new products, inspiring up-and-coming photographers, and using their printers in ways you might not have considered.
Photographer Stephen Gross of Brooklyn Editions used his 60-in. Canon iPF9000 and LexJet Sunset Photo eSatin to output these prints for photographer Patrick Weidmann of Switzerland, who was one of the historic and contemporary photographers featured in the All over the place! exhibition curated by William A. Ewing at the 2009 New York Photo Festival in May. |
For example, one recent post talks about how photographer Stephen Gross produced 90 color and black-and-white large-format prints for 12 world-class photographers who were invited to exhibit at the New York Photo Festival in May. Gross used a variety of materials from LexJet and both his 44-in. Epson Stylus Pro 9800 and 60 in. Canon iPF9000 printer to output the prints.
He says the most intensive part of the process wasn’t the printing. Rather, it was working with the different types of proofs and files submitted by the 12 photographers from different parts of the world.
The printer and material Gross used depended partly on the size and nature of the image and the type of material on which the artist had submitted the proof to be matched. For example, for some prints Gross used Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. For other prints he used Sunset Photo eSatin or Sunset Fibre Elite. And for European artists who supplied Cibachrome prints as proofs, Gross used LexJet’s 8 mil PolyGloss film on the Canon iPF9000 to replicate the shiny surface.
