HelioGraph

The HelioGraph Line Conversion is our most recognizable technique: Loosely based on the traditional mezzo screen, the HelioGraph brings out all the texture, tone and detail of your original image and will reproduce with exceptional clarity in the newspaper or wherever it is used.

A HelioGraph can be striking, giving your photograph or artwork a three-dimensional quality. Using a HelioGraph line conversion will enhance the way your ad looks and the way it reproduces in newsprint or on any other surface. Conventional or computer enhancing methods still cannot bring the same clarity and depth to your images that a HelioGraph can.

The HelioGraph works especially well on subjects that have a lot of texture such as landscapes, furniture, people and clothing. The most popular subject matter, and probably the one which benefits the most, is food. Whether you have a burger or a steak plate, a HelioGraph is an outstanding way of ensuring that you get the best result from your expensive photography.

A HelioGraph can be customized to print on any surfacefrom newsprint to corrugated cartons. HelioGraphs are also used to great effect on billboards and on plastic bags. In fact, a HelioGraph will look good on whatever surface you choose.

Because each HelioGraph is custom-built, we will apply the correct line screen for whatever surface you are using. But, to give you an idea, we can go from 10 lines per inch to 150 lines per inch.
