New ICC Profiles

iPrinfromHome.com is pleased to offer new modified ICC profiles for our Photographic Printing systems. We will begin using these profiles in print production on Tuesday, May 12th.

So what does this mean for you?
If you haven’t used ICC profiles before and you’re satisfied with your prints: You don’t need to do anything.

If you are already using our ICC profiles to soft proof your images, you should click here to download the new profiles.

These new profiles include a modification to help improve our work flow, but do not differ much from the profiles we are currently using. Accordingly, you most likely will not actually notice a difference in the prints that you receive. However, we know how important color management is to you and we want to keep you up to date on any changes we make to our production processes.

What are ICC Profiles?
ICC profiles allow your imaging software, such as Photoshop, to preview on your monitor the way that your digital files will look as Photographic Prints from iPrintfromHome.com. This process is commonly known as "soft proofing".

However, the first step to properly utilizing these profiles is to establish your own color managed work flow. To learn more about Color Management, please click here.

Tuesday Tweet Treat - May 5th, 2009

Today's Tuesday Tweet Treat: 1 Free 20x30 Photographic Print - Kodak Pro Photo Papers: Metallic, Glossy, Lustre or Matte**

You know what's exciting about 20x30 Prints?

They're BIG! And, big gets attention


Whether it's hanging in your living room or in your booth at an arts festival, people will notice your work.

In fact, a whole bunch of our customers order big prints for this specific reason - they hang big prints in their booths so that people walking in the crowd see their work and then mosey on over to see what other jewels they have to offer.

When you looked at the above image of the living room did your eye move to the print hanging over the couch? So did mine. The same thing will happen with images hanging on your walls. Or hanging on other people's walls. :o)

In keeping with last week's Tweet Treat theme, you might consider giving your 20x30 away as a gift. The quickest way to become an artist whose work adorns walls is to start hanging your work. So pick out one of your favorite images and let us help you print it for the world to see.

**Offer does not include shipping.

Instructions:
1. Place an order for one 20x30 Photographic Print at iPrintfromHome.com by midnight EST on May 5th.
2. IMMEDIATELY after placing your order, send us an e-mail (here) with "Tuesday Tweet Treat – Free 20x30" in the body of the e-mail.
3. Once we receive your e-mail, we will adjust your order so that you are not charged for your 20x30 Photographic Print.

What's with the name?

We've been hearing recently that people think the name of our company - iPrintfromHome.com - is a little strange and they're not exactly sure what it means. So today, I'm here to clear up the confusion and answer the burning question:

What's with the name?

The answer is rooted in our company history:


30 years ago almost to the day, my Dad (George Campos) opened Campos Photography Center - a darkroom rental lab for artists and photographers. His customers were artists and professional photographers who wanted to have more control over their printing but didn't want to go to a custom lab, didn't have access to their own darkroom, or maybe didn't have the money to invest in creating their own facilities at home.

The company evolved through the years to become a strong regional custom lab. With the advent of digital photography, the business moved in another direction. In the fall of 2001, my brother (Christian Campos) moved back to Buffalo and he and my dad launched iPrintfromHome.com - an online division of Campos Photography Center, which is now our main focus.

Operating as iPrintfromHome.com, we're still basically doing the same thing that we were doing back when the Campos Photography Center first opened its doors. But now, instead of coming to our location to rent our darkrooms and print your work, you can do it all from the comfort of your home with a little help from a computer and the internet. Hence the name: iPrintfromHome.com
