Peak Imaging
Peak Imaging is an independent
photographic laboratory and print
company based in Sheffield, South
Yorkshire. Vastly experienced in both
traditional film and the digital arena, their
dedicated workforce has an amazing,
average service time of 22 years.
Working alongside some very famous
household names across the UK and
Europe and more recently the Far East,
producing wall art products and prints
for museums, boardrooms, homes and
photographers in general, Peak Imaging’s
reputation is well documented and long
established.
Co-director Cathrine Lee has seen the
company adapt and re-shape to the
ever changing marketplace. “Customer
service and product involvement is key
to our success and we firmly believe that
time invested in project development
and consultation is vital for end result
satisfaction. Our clients usually know
what they want to achieve but often, not
how to achieve it or more commonly,
what is possible. From straight reprints
of digital media or film to large format
displays on PVC and acrylic, we cover
a vast array of display products and
services, working to strict guidelines and
tolerances”.
“As a laboratory of some 43 years in the
business, we have always invested heavily
in new machinery and ideas and currently
employ both photographic and giclee
printing techniques. We find that both
have a place in domestic and commercial
display forums and that it is sometimes
wise to allow the subject matter of a piece
to dictate the media and print format.
Metallic and high gloss papers are very
22
popular at the moment but much of the
traditional photographic work pieces still
demand rag papers and fine art materials”.
Photobooks are currently a favourite
format for family enjoyment and
advertising and Peak Imaging’s LifeBook
product comes in many shapes and
sizes to suit the project in hand. From
weddings and world trips to coffee table
promotions and antique collections. All
stories can be told and cherished in the
pages of a “LifeBook”.
10,000 sq. ft. of production space has
been carefully designed to create efficient
workflow whilst housing darkrooms,
conference facilities and design studios.
All of this and full product display can be
visited at the Holbrook Avenue site.
