What customers say
The super high resolution capture of a woodblock print done by LightSource produced an outstanding record of the minute details of the print. Coordination of my visit with Sam the owner was easy. The day of the capture with Aron, and assistance from Caleb, went smoothly.
The best print studio I've worked with over a 20 year career — top notch printing and image capture work, excellent creative advice given (around papers/inks and such) when asked, very knowledgeable and responsive staff. I can't imagine my workflow without this invaluable partner.
LightSource, and specifically their employee Caleb, have been incredibly helpful to us for our photography needs. We bought our home last year and while decorating, had a pretty specific photo project in mind (I saw a Kate Moss doctored photo on Instagram that I liked and wanted to blow it up, mount it, and install it…
I've worked with several other printers in the past and LightSource is by far the best. Their prints are super high quality and beautiful! Perfect for portfolio use or limited-edition print sales. I wouldn't use anyone else!
