Let there be (day)light

Well, it’s finally here. The Service Bureau’s very own wide format daylight balanced viewing area (and the largest viewing area on campus)

our new daylight balanced viewing area

The lighting bank is made by Just-Normlicht (which we consider to be the best) and will make the daylight balanced viewing of your test strips and prints from the Bureau easy (and fun! well, maybe).

Why should you view your test strips (or any print) in daylight balanced light? Viewing in daylight ensures that the colors that you are seeing are untainted by  the various color casts present in other light bulbs and lighting conditions. It is essentially a pristine viewing environment in which you can assess your print and decide what changes (if any) you need to make.

Pretty big difference, right? So next time you print at the Service Bureau, don’t forget to step around the corner and view your print in the viewing area. We think you will be happy with the results.
