Value Prints
Our Value Print service delivers high-quality small format prints at accessible prices—perfect for editing, evaluation, and sharing with family and friends. Value Prints offer superior quality compared to mass market printing services, big box retailers, or pharmacy labs. Great color and resolution without custom printing prices, affordable quality for everyday photography needs.
Professional Digitization Services
Preserve your photographic legacy with our high-resolution scanning using a 150 megapixel PhaseOne Camera system for film, transparencies, and artwork. We have a reputation for quality we digitized Elliott Erwitt’s entire photographic archive. We also offer file retouching, color correction, and digital files in a variety of image formats.
Fine Art Reproduction
Transform your original artwork into museum-quality archival prints with our art reproduction services. We combine precision image capture with color-corrected workflows and archival inkjet/giclée printing to create faithful reproductions of paintings, drawings, and mixed-media artwork. Our art reproduction service is fast and affordable.
Framing
We offer professional framing options from handcrafted custom wood frames to affordable Value Frames and modern welded aluminum frames with seamless corners. Choose traditional matted presentations, contemporary spacer mounting, or elegant print hangers for a complete display solution that protects and showcases your photography.
Mounting & Matting
We offer professional mounting on traditional materials like matboard and Gatorfoam, plus contemporary frameless options including aluminum, Dibond, and face mounting to acrylic. Our precision-cut mat windows use a professional CNC cutter with archival museum board that meets conservation standards—no cheaper non-archival substitutes. Whether you print with us or bring your own prints, we provide museum-quality finishing that protects your photography for generations.
Aluma Mounts
Aluma Mounts are fine art pigment prints mounted to archival aluminum composite material (ACM), then spray coated with Hahnemühle UV Protective Spray to prevent fading and protect against abrasion. This durable, lightweight presentation eliminates the need for framing while delivering museum-quality construction—perfect for gallery exhibitions, high-traffic display areas, and contemporary interiors.
Consultation Services
DSI offers comprehensive curation and consultation services through independent curator J. Sybylla Smith, providing guidance from portfolio review and artist statement development to exhibition planning and grant writing strategies. We provide complete exhibition expertise from concept through installation, including curatorial statements, museum-quality print production, professional framing, and shipping coordination.
What Makes DSI Different
Our team all have a degree or background in photography and the owners have an embarrassingly long history in the photo industry. Put all that into a print and that’s a lot of knowledge and skill that goes into every job. Unlike high volume labs, we specialize exclusively in museum-quality fine art printing with personalized service. We want to be a partner in making your image sing in print. Sorry we don’t print on coffee mugs or water bottles, but we do print on beautiful archival photo papers from Hahnemühle, Canson, Moab and Ilford/Harman.
A Proven Commitment to Community Blog Posts
We have been consistent supporters of the photo community in ways that no other lab can claim. When the fires in LA destroyed the lively hood of hundreds, we reached out and collected two shipping pallets full of cameras, lighting equipment, and other photo hardware for those in need. We believe that we are all part of the photo family. DSI has been living this truth as longtime supporters and collaborators of the Social Documentary Network, Photoville, Catchlight Foundation, The Griffin Museum of Photography, Women Photo Journalists of Washington (WPOW), Colorado Photographic Arts Center and many more photo organizations both local and nation. Supporting the folks that support us is just the right thing to do.
