Unlike inkjet printing, LightJet technology uses RGB lasers to expose light-sensitive photographic paper, producing images with unparalleled smoothness, depth, and tonal gradation. This process replicates how film and digital cameras capture images— in RGB rather than CMYK— resulting in breathtakingly accurate colors and seamless transitions.

Why Choose LightJet?

Archival Quality 

Fuji Crystal Archive materials have the highest independent lab ratings for print longevity among chromogenic materials.

Unmatched detail

Laser exposure ensures extreme precision, which is ideal for fine art and gallery prints.

Vibrant, True-to-Life Colors 

LightJet prints deliver stunningly rich colors and smooth gradients without the limitations of ink-based printing.

Large-Format Capabilities 

We can produce LightJet prints up to 50" x 120", allowing for breathtaking statement pieces at any scale.

Each print is created in a completely dark environment, where rolls of light-sensitive paper—up to 50 inches wide—are carefully loaded into our LightJet printer’s internal drum. As the RGB lasers expose the image, the result is a fine art-quality print with incredible depth, vibrancy, and detail.

LightJet prints remain the gold standard for professional photographers, galleries, and collectors — ensuring museum-quality results with every image.

We offer 3 levels of digital printing file prep

depending on your desired level of our involvment

In each case the print price reflects the work we put in to make your print look great. All three levels include the same high level of Photographic (LightJet) or Inkjet printing. If working from film, scanning is a separate charge.

Exhibition Print Service

This the highest level of file preparation. One of our Master Printers works directly with you to coax the absolute most out of your film scan or digital camera file. Advanced file editing techniques are employed as necessary. A proof is generated for your approval and the final, layered .psd file as well as the print file can be saved and sent to you on CD. This service is like having you own personal print maker on staff.

standard Print Service

Just want someone to check your file and make a tweak if necessary to get a little more? Not sure about how well your monitor is profiled? Maybe you want borders added? If you are fairly comfortable with what you will get and don’t want to go through proofing, need your work back faster or just want to save some money, then our Standard Print Service may well work for you

level 2/print-ready

You do all the work, give us a file that is ready to print and enjoy a discount. We don’t even look at it. This service is also available for files we have printed before and you are supplying us with the print file we made or the print file is stored in a library here at Photo Craft. Please read the sheet "Submitting Files for LightJet Level 2 Printing" (on our Resources page) before sending files for this service.

Additional Prints: Multiple prints from the same file ordered at the same time enjoy a substantial discount over the initial print price. If ordering 10 or more prints for the same file, call us for additional discounts not on our website.

We offer LightJet prints on a variety of Fuji Crystal Archive papers, including:
