Carbon Archival Prints
Flow introduced a new approach to black and white printing in 2016, combining traditional methods with modern technology. These prints feature deep shadows, smooth highlights, and exceptional longevity. They are exclusive to Flow Photographic.
Flow Specialisms
We offer exclusive printing techniques, including Carbon Archival Prints and ‘Kodachrome’ LED backlit prints. Contact us to discuss your project.
Carbon Archival Printing
Flow produces high-quality inkjet prints with great attention to detail. Founder Alex Schneideman has also developed a new black and white process using modern technology and handmade papers. Printed on uncoated paper, these works have rich blacks, subtle highlights, and a natural, organic feel.
LED Lightboxes
Our backlit prints recreate the look of illuminated ‘Kodachrome’ transparencies, with strong blacks and vivid colour. They are slim, dimmable, energy-efficient, and can be used as both display and light source.
Jetrix Printing
UV LED printing onto a wide range of surfaces, including stone, metal, glass, wood, plastic, and Perspex. Durable, weather-resistant, and suitable for many applications.
Inkjet Prints
A versatile, archival method using pigment inks on coated paper for precision and clarity.
We advise on paper choice and produce everything from single prints to large editions.
Inkjet Printing
Also known as Giclée, this process uses pigment inks on coated papers to prevent spread and preserve detail. Archival quality depends on pigment inks and acid-free papers, often made from cotton.
Papers
We stock a wide range of fine art papers, all custom calibrated. Other options available on request.
Equipment & Calibration
We use Epson printers with Ultrachrome HDR inks and calibrated monitors. For best results, supply high-quality TIFF or PSD files and follow our calibration guidance.
Silver Gelatin Prints
Traditional black and white darkroom prints, produced with Robin Bell to museum standards.
Super Chromagenic Prints
A contemporary colour process with the rich, luminous quality of Cibachrome.
