This view is looking east from outside the Black Bull public house on the left. Beyond is the Mechanics' Institute built c1893 which since 1956 has been Ripon's main Post Office. In the centre is No 4 Old Market Place displaying a fascia reading 'W. Benson Ironmonger and Plumber' and yard doors with a sign reading 'Electrical Engineer'. Benson's had moved here from King Street by 1912. To the right is the three-storey pub with a signboard reading 'The Star'. This was one of the city's oldest pub, recorded in 1801 and still operating under that name until at least 1936. It was later re-named as 'The Wakeman' and is now the Hornblower Tavern.
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.
