GEMINI 4 AT WORK
Quality, reliability and control – setting up a photo studio with Gemini 4.
Studio Damon
When photographer Damon decided to start his own company, one of the first things he was looking for was total control over his workflow. He found using the lab unpredictable, time consuming and uncertain in terms of quality.
Damon felt that handing over control to a lab could cause problems with colour quality and turnaround times. Keen to find an in-house solution that could surpass lab quality and flexibility, Damon decided to try Gemini 4. From day one he was sold.
‘The technician installed the system, trained us in a very professional way and the same day I was able to create sellable prints!’ says Damon. ‘Most labs are just not able to produce the quality I get from my Gemini.’
The system has changed the way Damon works. ‘It’s so reliable you can just start a print job before you go home and the next morning the prints are ready. Control over the layout is a time-saver. You can create templates so quickly and combine many images on one or more pages, much quicker than my other image editor.’
Gemini 4 also works financially. ‘The Gemini invoice comes the next month, so my cash-flow is guaranteed to be positive.’ Damon’s conclusion is emphatic. ‘Gemini wins on all fronts, as you will find out the minute you have Gemini in your studio!’
