The Colour Factory is now offering a no frills scanning service. This is a cheaper service for those willing to retouch their scans themselves.

The Colour Factory team will remove dust prior to scanning with an anti-static air gun and clean with alcohol if necessary, but will leave spotting and adjusting to you.

Charged at $0.50 per megabyte, minimum charge $10, maximum charge $50.

Tim Handfield, presenter of two of the Colour Factory’s upcoming seminars, has a stunning upcoming photographic exhibition entitled ‘Ethiopian Time’.

The Colour Factory has been busy printing Tim’s photographic works for this breathtaking exhibition.

The exhibition consists of landscape photographs of the Simien Mountains in the North of Ethiopia.

In Tim’s own words:

“Travelling in Ethiopia gives one the Orlando-like illusion of living through different centuries”.
(Delva Murphy, Ethiopia with a Mule, 1968)

“The extraordinary landscapes of the Simien Mountains evoke feelings of temporal dislocation, of being transported to another time. Is it 2008, or 2001 or 1588?

In these photographs I hope to capture the feeling that I experienced in Ethiopia and most strongly in the Simien Mountains. The beauty of the landscape and the unique quality of the light immediately struck me, but there was also an uncanny sense of recognition, like being in a sublime 19th Century landscape painting.”

You can preview some of the exhibition images here before going to visit the prints in person at:

Forty Five Downstairs

The exhibition runs from 30 June to 11 July 2009.

Artist prints are just one of the Colour Factory’s many services.

Putting the art into the exhibition

The Colour Factory has recently produced artist prints for Ilana Payes. With a growing reputation, Ilana has a Masters degree in Visual Art and a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) from Monash University.

Shane and Phil assisted with the production of a number of large format 700mm x 1200mm Pigment Gilclee prints on Breathing Colour -Acid free Chromata White Matt Canvas.

Our scanning and retouching skills were put to the test ensuring Ilana’s work was reproduced in large format at high quality.

We think Ilana appreciated the efforts telling us “Thanks again for everything, you guys make miracles happen!”

Ilana’s stunning images were seen as part of The Opposite of Forgetting – an exhibition of memory and identity at the Helen Gory Gallery, 25 St. Edmonds Road, Prahran.

The exhibition was produced by Next UIA and curated by Leah Crossman.

By all reports the event, which was open to the public earlier this month (Tuesday 31 March – Monday 6 April), was a great success. In case you missed it, check out these images below of the works.
