As a photographer a lot of things end up being outsourced especially printing. Over the years I have worked with all kinds of printers from Costco and Wal-mart to printers that work exclusively for photographers. When I moved to Phoenix I was kind of stuck, I couldn’t find a printer in town that had the right materials or equipment to print my work. I was still outsourcing to a printer in Utah. And then I met Peter and Stephanie at Mighty Imaging here in Phoenix. Not only are they the most approachable of any printer I’ve worked with they use the right materials and the best equipment including a LightJet RA-4 Color printer:

LightJet digital printer has set the standard for true photographic quality. By exposing photo media with laser light, you’ll receive image quality superior to any and all wide format output available anywhere.

There is no ink – no printhead going back and forth, hence no banding and no grainy dot matrix pattern. Just unsurpassed sharpness and color. If you want to provide the ultimate output for fine art, display, exhibits and trade show graphics, this is it.

My Fine Arts work is currently at a maximum size of 30×50″ but Mighty Imaging is true to their name with the ability to print images up to 48×96″. This was a problem for most print vendors that wanted to move my work over to an inkjet printer after 8×10″. Since I pride myself on being a craftsman as well, one of the first things I look for in a printer is what type of materials do they offer, in particular do they print on Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper. Fuji paper is the only paper that can capture the subtleties and particular color palate of my fine arts work and no I don’t want to try Kodak. With Peter’s company this is not a problem they offer every style of Fuji paper that I wanted to use and more.

Our partnership is larger than just a vendor and client because after viewing my work Peter insisted on opening a store of my work on their website giving me access to another audience. This is a partnership that will continue because Mighty Imaging have covered the basics of business and mastered the craft of printing large format images.
