New Photo Printing at My Studio
My Epson Gemini 4 system has been upgraded to the Gemini 10, offering many advantages for printing images — both in terms of volume and quality, we can accommodate and fulfill all your wishes. Since I took over the studio in 2007, I have been printing photos in my own home to keep the entire production process always under control. With external labs, you can unfortunately encounter unexpected surprises. A complaint may not be a broken leg, but the effort and waiting time until the newly printed or exposed image is sent back cost me and my customers nerves. I consider it important to always provide the best quality, which is why I have not offered any inexpensive customer data prints so far.
Photo Printing in 6-Color Quality Starting at 1.90 Euros
That’s now different — feel free to bring your files to me: With the new Epson Sure-Lab D700, it is now also possible to fulfill photo wishes in standard formats, starting at 10 × 15 cm, within the shortest possible time. Not enough? At my studio, we only offer professional prints — meaning I manually optimize your images and examine them individually. The extent and degree of optimization can be discussed with me; I take care of your images individually. On request, I can also create crop versions and further editing.

For Our Own Photos and for Everyone with High Requirements for Photo Printing: The Epson 3880 with 8 Colors
For all our own productions and for your photo printing starting at DIN A4, we use this printer. Although it is not as fast as the SureLab, it offers outstanding quality that surpasses any proof. Available are various paper surfaces, ranging from gloss to premium luster (slightly pearlescent, our recommendation for all portraits) down to fine matte with a very delicate texture on heavy cardstock paper without optical brighteners. Formats are available up to A2. I also print your artworks as Fine-Art Photo Prints starting at 9.90 €
