I offer discounts for duplicate prints and large orders

 Please get in touch for a personalized quotation.

All devices in the production process are meticulously calibrated to ensure consistent, accurate results. Papers are manually measured and adjusted for precise color profiles. 

ICC profiles are available upon request—if you have the adequate calibrated screen, you can confidently predict the final output.

For black-and-white printing, I offer specially calibrated profiles that allow you to choose your preferred tonal style (cool, neutral, or warm). These profiles work seamlessly with both monochrome and RGB files, delivering consistent tones across all your images.

I can work with any paper available on the Swiss market at no additional cost than my usual margin. However, please allow a few weeks for procurement and printer calibration.
