LexJet Reviews: Photography Essentials

Whether it’s weddings or the holidays, photographers need to have the right products and the right support when busy season hits. In this edition of LexJet Reviews, C.J. Forker is here to discuss a few of the Photographer Essentials available from LexJet.

From printers to media to customer service, tune in to hear C.J. discuss:

Sunset Select Matte Canvas – The bright-white, matte-coated surface of this poly-cotton blend canvas provides a wide color gamut and, maybe more importantly, color consistency. The Oxford 2 over 1 weave is ideal for photo and art reproduction, but it’s also a good solution for home décor, indoor signage, and gallery wraps. Sunset Select Matte Canvas works with both dye and pigment inks and is compatible with current and legacy-model printers from Canon, Epson, HP, and more.

Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 Printer–When it comes to investing in a printer, research is important. So is hearing from those who are using the same equipment you’re considering. Professional photographers Joel Grimes and Jeff Bowman offer their take on why they print their work on the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4100. The printer comes with a full set of 11 inks plus an optimizer and professional print and layout software. It also features automatic paper loading. Just drop your roll of media in and the printer automatically feeds the paper, eliminating fingerprints and smudges.

LexJet Premium Archival Matte Paper – Premium Archival Matte Paper is a smooth, neutral-white, matte paper for high-quality fine art, photo reproduction, and open-edition décor. This paper provides accurate color reproduction and high-contrast, high-resolution output, and is acid-free for a longer print life with pigment inks. It features a heavyweight, thick base, and an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. From fine art to wildlife, this is the perfect addition to any photographer’s media arsenal.

LexJet Customer Service – LexJet has been serving print service providers for more than 25 years, teaming with some of the biggest names in the printing industry. But, it’s LexJet’s excellent customer service that truly matters to its clients. From critical attention to detail to technical expertise, no matter what questions you might have, LexJet customer service is unmatched. Professional photographers Dennis and Cheri Hammon have been LexJet customers for years and say they couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

Sunset Photo eSatin Paper 300g –Sunset Photo eSatin is a premium-quality, resin-coated photo paper that has professional photographers raving. They say it’s thicker, heavier, and more durable than mass-market inkjet photo papers. The slightly textured finish doesn’t show fingerprints or reflect glare and it is reminiscent of darkroom printing. The wider color gamut and an improved white point mean colors are brighter, skin tones are more realistic, and landscapes are more detailed.

LexJet Moves up in the Ranks of the Best Companies To Work For In Florida

LexJet Named one of the Best Places to Work

For the fifth year in a row, LexJet has been named one of the Best Companies To Work For In Florida by Florida Trend magazine, moving up from 13th to 10th in the midsized company rankings from last year.

“Our Best Companies coverage this year is simple and direct: We went to the employees of the Best Companies To Work For and asked them to tell us what they like most about working where they work,” says Mark Howard, executive editor. “The responses are illuminating. Some of them highlight innovative perks, benefits and incentives, while others reveal how these top companies communicate effectively with their employees and empower every worker to make decisions. We hope these ideas are instructive for other companies that are looking to create a Best Companies-type workplace.”

The Best Companies To Work For In Florida program was created by Florida Trend and Best Companies Group and is endorsed by the HR Florida State Council.

As you can see in the image accompanying this post, LexJet and veteran customer specialist Jaimie Mask were featured in the opening spread (you can click on the image for a larger version, by the way). The recognition illustrates LexJet’s top priorities, which are to enhance both the customer and the employee experience.

“Great customer service doesn’t happen just because you want it to happen,” says Art Lambert, who founded LexJet with Ron Simkins in 1994. “You absolutely have to focus on making sure each employee is not only happy, but that they have the opportunity to be entrepreneurial, along with the support they need to do so.”

To participate, companies or government entities had to employ at least 15 workers in Florida and have been in operation at least one year. Companies that chose to participate underwent an evaluation of their workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics.

The process also included a survey to measure employee satisfaction. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the registration, survey and analysis and determined the final rankings.

“A happier staff is one that is engaged with the company, its products, and its objectives,” says Florida Trend Publisher Andy Corty. “Those are the type of employees who carry the message out to clients and help the company grow. It’s our pleasure to recognize those great companies and encourage others to join them in building Florida’s competitive advantage.”

LexJet Named Exclusive Distributor of the Fredrix Print Canvas Line

LexJet and Tara Materials Inc. have entered into a partnership whereby LexJet is now the exclusive distributor of Tara Materials’ Fredrix Print Canvas line. The partnership allows Tara Materials to concentrate on its U.S.-based manufacturing and better serve Fredrix Print Canvas customers with LexJet’s enhanced customer service and nationwide distribution.

LexJet Exclusive Distributor of Fredrix Print Canvas“The basis of our relationship is our expertise in manufacturing joining LexJet’s expertise in sales, customer service and distribution,” says Mike Ecker, general manager, Tara Materials Inc. “It’s really a perfect fit. We can focus on our core abilities, allowing us to make product improvements, while LexJet’s customer focus and ability to deliver product in one day will be a huge benefit to our customers. You put those together and you’ve got one dynamic partnership.”

The exclusive distribution agreement is effective April 3, 2013, when all Fredrix Print Canvas will be stocked throughout LexJet’s nationwide distribution center network. The agreement covers customers in the U.S. and Canada, who will now work with LexJet directly for all their canvas and canvas finishing needs.

Moreover, the two companies will begin jointly developing new inkjet canvas products – compatible with aqueous, solvent, low-solvent, UV-curable and latex inks – to address every potential application and market need for their customers, from fine art reproduction to interior décor.

“For almost 150 years Fredrix has been the standard in the art market. It is an honor for us to partner with a company and product that has such a unique, rich history and a reputation for quality and workmanship in its canvas,” says Alex Ried, LexJet product manager.

Fredrix Canvas was founded in 1868, and was the first true cotton-based artist’s canvas to be produced in the U.S., rather than imported from Europe. Acquired by Tara Materials in the 1960s, the company has been a leading innovator, bringing inkjet-printable canvas to the market in the early ’90s and continuing to improve its product line in step with the latest ink and printer technological advances.

Founded in 1994, LexJet has also been a leading innovator in the digital imaging market, developing and bringing the first reverse-print inkjet-printable polycarbonate to market, LexJet Clear. Since that time, LexJet has developed a wide-ranging portfolio of digital imaging products for its customers, and carries top brands that address each aspect of the digital workflow.

LexJet will provide all Fredrix Print Canvas customers with free and unlimited product and technical support, a 30-day money-back guarantee, a personal customer specialist dedicated to each customer’s needs, one-day, flat-rate shipping to most of the U.S., and more.
