Description
Quay West Building, Salford Quays
The Quay West building sits at the end of the Millennium Bridge in the Salford Quays across from the Lowry Centre. It was built in 1990 and the architects were the Patcliffe Partnership. The building has reflective bronze coloured cladding which makes it appear to be windowless. The building is multi-let to a number of tenants and is thought of as one of the most impressive buildings in the Salford Quays development. This image was photographed with a circa 2000 Nikon F80 35mm film camera using Kodak ISO 200 colourplus film which was developed by me. The negative was scanned on photo paper in order to add more texture.
Our images are printed using premium K3 print technology on Hahnemühle Fine Art Torchon matt photographic paper. The special feature of the light white paper (285 g/m²) is its material: 100% alpha-cellulose defines the characteristically coarse texture. It gives your image a timeless, true-to-the-original charisma with a 3D effect. The hand-made style paper is highly water resistant and the use of premium K3 Epson prints ensures luminous colours and deep blacks for at least 100 years.
Textile print on stretcher frame – a fabric print using modern technology
Your image will be printed on fabric in razor-sharp quality and with brilliant colours and with its subtly textured surface; it transforms any photo into a unique gallery work that is full of life. During the thermal sublimation process, the colours are completely evaporated into the material. The resolution of up to 720 dpi and the enlarged CMYK colour spectrum allows accurate colour reproduction with clear contours. We only use textiles that are free of harmful substances and that have been awarded the internationally recognised Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. Your image is mounted on the solid wood stretcher frame in its true form using only, high quality stretcher frames made of solid wood. The spruce wood comes from German suppliers and is sourced from sustainable forests. To give the stretcher frames permanent protection from losing shape, we triple reinforce the corners under the textile print using metal braces. When mounting on the stretcher frame we avoid using wedges – the frame is so stable that you won’t need to loosen or tighten it at a later stage and it will arrive ready to hang.
For any other printing requirements, sizes or framing please contact us and we will be happy to help.
