Hi-Tech Photo Canvas Export Across Europe
Software makes it easy to create impressive artistic prints from manipulated digital images. This has helped producers of quality, large format canvas printing services. FotoInsight of Cambridge is launching its online canvas service in France, Spain and is now selling in 32 countries.
According to FotoInsight, thousands of its online photo printing customers have taken advantage of its new production processes. Modern fabrics, optimised for ink absorption and long durability and standardised sizes which allow a largely automatised production process result in professional quality of a high continuity and durability at lower prices.
Thousands of digital camera users have used FotoInsight to have their photos printed into a photobook or on a canvas. The product has been so succesful, that FotoInsight is now extending its canvas offering to the Mediterranean countries. FotoInsight's Managing Director Klaas Brumann explains the move: “Photo canvas prints are an ideal gift, but sending large format parcels is costly. FotoInsight offers direct shipment of canvases to overseas addresses, ideal for birthday or Christmas gifts. France and Spain are among the most popular holiday and retirement destinations. We expect that both our English and local language services will be popular in the Mediterranean countries.”
FotoInsight, a specialist serving amateur and professional photographers alike, prints canvas in sizes from 20x30 cm (minimum resolution 800 x 1.100 Pixel) to 60x80 cm (2.500 x 3.300 pixel recommended). FotoInsight states that it uses special synthetic fibres and fade resistant "archival" inks to guarantee longevity and brilliant colours. The hi-tech inks penetrate deep into the fabric and can therefore be printed and mounted over the edges of the wooden frame. Standardised sizes allow a largely automatic production process. According to FotoInsight this ensures constant quality and long durability at a lower price for the first time.
"Quality is our priority. All materials we use are subject to extensive testing and are guaranteed by their manufacturers to last 100 years. This guarantee extends to photo printing on real photographic paper as well as to the canvas print", emphasises Dr. Rolf Hollander, CEO of FotoInsight's production partner and Europe's largest photo finisher.
Frame mounted canvas prints convert holiday snaps into large format artwork. The fine structure of the fabric creates additional depth, and the print extending over the frame generates a 3D effect on the wall. As the durable fabrics are fully mounted no additional frame is required, the image can be put straight onto a wall. It is a great present suitable for the home as well as the office. Photo prints on canvas are also well suited for digital art created with image editing software and filters. FotoInsight's Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “Image editing software helps to create impressive digital art for which the output of an inkjet printer can’t do justice. Digital editing software creates new, impressive applications for mounted canvases.” Compared to images behind glass frames, a photo screen print or canvas shows more detail and a fine structure. Due to the fabric folding around the frame it also shows greater depth.

FotoInsight is Preparing FIFA Photo Book for Germany
FotoInsight of Cambridge assured the FIFA photo book product in the world cup host country
Cambridge, UK. 26 April 2006. – This summer will see millions of people worldwide re-arrange their daily routines and work life to squeeze in as much footie as possible! In time for the football world cup Cambridge based FotoInsight is going to launch through its German service an innovative range of CEWE photo books with a FIFA license displaying up to 312 images through its online photo print service. From Cambridge Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments: “Pictures of matches, holidays and parties are fading away in shoeboxes and increasingly on hard drives of aging computers. FotoInsight’s mission is to prevent photographic memories from fading. A printed album, like the upcoming FIFA photobooks, helps to preserve all the memories of a great world cup in order, crisp colours and accessible.
The simplest method of getting a photo album with digital images is printing it. Since late 2005 FotoInsight offers digital camera users a personal photo book from their digital photographs. The personal photo book can be laid with FotoInsight's photo book software in the comfort of the own home.
Volume of photos taken more than tripled
While consumers took an average of 150 photos per year when using analogue cameras, digital camera users are releasing the shutter more than three times as often as the conventional amateur photographer, taking about 470 photos on average. According to FotoInsight, most digital photographers view and select their photos on a home computer. All those digital photos languishing on hard drives could finally see the light of day with the time-saving innovation. The digital photo service FotoInsight states to deliver to 21 European countries within one week of ordering online. Getting luxurious, hardbound, coffee-table style photo books is easy and set to become the latest must-have innovation in photo albums. Once the user has arrived at FotoInsight’s website and has clicked on the photo book icon displayed along side attractive photo calendars, a window appears in the familiar file tree style with text and animated illustrations explaining the upload. The user selects pictures selected through drag and drop directly from the computer. The order of the pictures can be changed after the upload through a range of interactive photo book editing tools. The cost of £19.99 / €27.99 per printed photo book (plus p&p) also includes the option to use online storage for photo sharing in FotoInsight’s online photo album facility one month free.

FotoInsight's New Digital Photo Software
FotoInsight is making it easier to get real photographic paper prints, greeting cards
CeBIT, Hannover. 23 March 2006. – FotoInsight.co.uk announces the release of its new photo software package called Home Photo Service. According to FotoInsight the application resolves eight common problems of digital photography. During the first three months FotoInsight is distributing free copies off its website: http://fotoinsight.co.uk/designer-software.html
Digital photography’s popularity has already overtaken analogue colour photography. While photographic prints on inkjet printers still lack behind in quality and price the digital format has taken consumers and business users by storm because of the ease and speed at which images can be stored and transferred across networks including the internet. Once the hard disk is filling up with hi-res images FotoInsight’s Home Photo Service software helps to:
1.- escape lack of hard disk space and high storage costs.
2.- back-up photo collections onto CD-R.
3.- edit, turn, flip, crop digital images, remove red eyes and more.
4.- convert image file to jpeg or other formats.
5.- print on real photographic paper at the same prices as with traditional (analogue) photo printing (from 9p per print).
6.- organise image collections and albums and to find images back.
7.- create slide shows of important events or holiday pictures.
8.- be creative: Print photo calendars, frames, greeting cards.
FotoInsight.co.uk’s new “Home Photo Service Software” resolves all of this and makes ordering prints online really easy. If the internet connection is interrupted during transmission the application will automatically try to communicate with the server to start where the upload was interrupted, without user intervention or the risk of loosing of data etc.
Edit, crop, rotate, zoom etc
It currently is free. FotoInsight is introducing the application with no time limit as a free download. But the free download introduction will last three months only, by then FotoInsight hopes the application will have received many commendations and plans to start charging for the software as for any other image editing application. Free copies (Windows PC or Mac) can be downloaded from:
http://fotoinsight.ie/designer-software.html.
FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments from Cambridge: “Photographic memories must never fade. FotoInsight is proud to provide the software that will help to preserve memories in vivid colours.”
