The ornate Claro Bank building was erected in 1899 to replace the premises of the Knaresborough & Claro Banking Company previously on this site, at the top of Kirkgate. In 1963 the Claro Bank and the building to the right were demolished and rebuilt as the Westminster Bank. In 2017 the site is still occupied by the National Westminster Bank, though only one part of the previous building remains, which is the statue of St. Wilfrid.
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.
