Orange Portrait Photography flush mounted books by Cypress Albums would not be possible without the tremendous job by Sam Yu of Fotoworks Pro. There are quite a few labs for pros out there but this happens to be my favorite. First of all because it's local, second because of Sam's attention to detail and unbelievable patience with my last minute rush orders, third because Fotoworks uses Fuji Crystal Archive pro grade, which whether for 8x10s or flush mount books is the best choice. Finally it's the quality and large format prints on Lambda which blow me away! Quality. Very rare these days. As much as I love my IPF6100 for enlargements and my Fuji ASK2000 for proofs or passports, the first printer may in some respect compete with Lambda C prints, but dye based prints are fragile and will not resist the heat of the flush mount process. The latter printer just lacks the quality, period. I have been printing myself for 15 years and I can challenge anybody in fine art printing. Come and see my studio hallway in Orange! It's hard work and it's good to know someone who knows their trade because you just can't be the jack of all trades. Remember this: it takes 10 years or 10,000 hours to master a trade. Today's motto: bring the print back! Thank you Fotoworks! Thank you Sam! I look forward to printing my next wedding with you.
