About Photo Enhancements

The person behind photo enhancements

Hi! I'm Neal Martin, the guiding light behind Photo Enhancements. I started Photo Enhancements back in 1999 doing photo altering for business clients.

At this time digital printing was fairly rare or very expensive to do when wanting quality results. All my prints were done at a local photo outlet. Larger print jobs had to be sent to Auckland. This was expensive and time consuming - I needed my own printer! By 2002, disappointed with the local service, I bought my first printer. It could do up to A3+ size and made quality photo prints - control at last.

As time went by customers were asking for bigger sized photo prints. The small printer couldn't keep up with the volumes of prints. I bought a new high volume printer capable of printing A2 images with ease.

Times changed and I heard about canvas printing. Seeing the growing demand I quickly got up to speed and learned the process. Again I found I was handicapped by the limitation of prints sizes. In early 2007 I purchased the Hewlett Packard Z3100 a marvellous wide format printer capable of printing anything thrown at it.

Customers were wanting quality enlargements of old slides and negatives to be printed to canvas and photo paer. I bought the Nikon 9000 a marvellous tool suited for the job.

Present day I still offer the same restoration and altering services. Combined with the custom print options available I still offer a personal service for all my customers.
