Looking down towards Skellgarths, in the right foreground is Ripon Library, and parked outside the building is the Mobile Library Van, which provided services to the surrounding villages. The previous building on the site had been the Horse and Jockey public house, which was demolished in 1929, and replaced by the new public Library, which opened in February 1936. Down the street towards Skellgarths is J E Little and Sons, Painter and Decorator. Ripon Library is now next to the Bus Station in the town centre, and the building in this photograph has recently been demolished.
We use a high resolution 50 mega pixel Canon camera, mounted on a Guardian stand, which allows us to capture A0 plans comfortably without losing any clarity or definition. Plans larger than A0 are digitally stitched using Adobe Photoshop by experienced reprographic staff. Images are captured at a minimum resolution of 300dpi as TIFFS using Phase One capture software.
Paper copies at A4 and A3 size are printed on 120gsm high quality matt paper using good quality printing ink.
Paper copies larger than A3 (A2 up to A0) are printed on 170gsm high quality matt coated paper, using UV inks which do not fade or lose colour over time.
Photographs are printed on 250gsm satin and gloss paper.
