What’s behind our color?

How does Uptown Color deliver such great print quality? By investing in the latest – and best – print technology available. But even more important than that, each piece of equipment in our Richmond, VA shop – from scanner to digital press – is run by the most highly trained technicians who’ve worked on countless jobs just like yours. Each day, this winning combination of technology and talent turns out finished print products that satisfy our customers and keep them coming back for more.

Here are just a few of the cutting-edge workhorses we use to produce your print jobs (Learn about us to find out about the people behind the machines):

Xerox iGen4 Digital Press

There is only one of these in town and Uptown Color has it. The latest of Xerox’s color printers, the iGen4 delivers color consistency and imagery definition that rivals offset. Not to mention, it prints on a wide array of substrates, including mylar, polyester and magnetic materials (ask us about specific stocks), and accommodates the largest cut-sheet size of any digital color press (14.33″ x 22.5″). By running non-toxic dry inks and reducing waste (by only printing what you need), the iGen4 also helps minimize your carbon footprint.

HP 8000S Large Format Solvent Printer

From small signs to large banners, this large format solvent printer delivers exceptional quality with superior color consistency that’s fade resistant for indoor and/or outdoor applications.

Paradigm Image Pro GxT 42 HDplus

This scanner produces fast, high quality scans of large format photographs, artwork, maps, site plans, and any other documents that require a wide color gamut and high dynamic range up to 9600dpi. Original images can be captured from media up to 42 wide by any length and provide motorized thick media scanning of mounted originals up to 3/16″  thickness.
