HP’s range of workstations offer value for money, high price/performance ratio in this aspect. The Z-series workstation coupled with LP 2480ZX Dreamcolor LCD Monitor plus Designjet Z-series Vivera Pigment ink photo print offers a complete workflow solution for high end imaging and photography work at a performance level that surpasses the benchmark.

The new generation of Hasselblad H4D is finally unveiled to the public in conjunction with the DCIM 2010 show at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, followed by a private event showcasing a total workflow from capture to print at Matahari Room 2 at Cititel Mid Valley.
Kevin Then, the Hasselblad Masters 2008 graced the occasion by sharing his views on why he has chosen the Hasselblad and how it has created added values and advantages over his competition in his wedding photography business.
At the private function, Kevin demonstrated his lighting and photography skills with the H4D-40, with Evon T being the model. The shoot was tethered directly to the HP Z400 workstation (equipped with LP2480ZX Dreamcolor LCD monitor and Wacom Intuos 4 graphic tablet) via a Firewire connection. The printout was done on a HP Designjet Z3200.
It was a very successful event, attended mostly by commercial studio owners and professional photographers.
It was a night to remember and yet another major milestone for Two Buddybiz!
We started our business relationship with HP in July 2007, working closely with their Designjet LFP (Large Format Printer) division. Since then, our business has leapfrog beyond our wildest imagination, leveraging upon the technology offered by the printer like built-in X-Rite spectrophotometer and ICC profiling engine, which enables us to offer a wide variety and freedom of choice in fine art media to our customers who only demand the highest quality giclee in photography and art reproduction work.
Two Buddybiz is still top in Google keyword search ‘giclee malaysia’, and we are expecting even more exciting journey with HP in the digital fine art arena.
Two Buddybiz uses exclusively Designjet Z6100, Z3100 and the new Z3200 photo printers in our printing lab and Lightroom Studio & Academy (LRSA).
Fine art materials are typically made up of pH-neutral cotton (rag) or (alpha) cellulose fiber. It offers artists or photographers the opportunity to create giclée prints on heavy weight medium or smooth textured papers such as the Sihl Artistic Creative Smooth. Sihl is a very well known and respected Swiss manufacturer of cotton rag papers.
The Sihl Artistic Creative Smooth rag paper matches smooth cold press papers. Ideal candidates are artists and photographers requiring almost no texture but still the quality that only a pure cotton paper carries. Expect a great print longevity from any of these substrates; accelerated aging results points up to 200 years with HP Vivera inks.
Use care when handling before framing. Although HP Vivera inks are the most scratch resistant giclee pigments on the market, we use matte black, which renders very high Dmax but is more susceptible to scuffing. The prints can be framed with archival corners or mounted with a heat sensitive tissue. We do not recommend a temperature over 180 F.
When preparing files for fine art cotton rag prints, please use a minimum resolution of 200 PPI for Sihl paper. No higher PPI is needed. If submitting black and white images, leave your monochrome files in RGB mode. The same applies to images with some tone (i.e. sepia). As always, please do a gamut check to make sure colors are not out of range. Upon file receipt, we will review colors and detail to spot any issues before printing. Sihl papers have wide gamuts, which allows for brilliant prints with deep blacks.
Prints on Sihl paper is offered in our online gallery. If you wish to purchase for own consumption, please email or call us. We carry 17″, 24″, 44″ and 60″ roll papers.
We thank HP Malaysia for publishing the success story to Two Buddybiz Sdn Bhd, recognizing our contribution to the marketing and sales of HP Designjet Z-series to address the needs in the photography and creative art market in Malaysia!
