Title: Help and advice needed for Abu Dhabi
Post by: Piet Gispen on November 15, 2010, 06:04:38 am

Hello all,


I am not sure whether or not this is the right forum, but it is the forum I visit most frequently, so please bear with me.
I may be heading for a photoshoot in Abu Dhabi next year, where, immediately after having shot the photo's I have to include them in a catalogue. The catalogue will be printed (offset) the next day by a local printer. I would appreciate any suggestions or help on the following:

1. a good en reliable printer for high quality offset printing
2. a printer where I could work using colour calibrated monitors, computers etc to finish the artwork and to include the photographs
3. A reliable local store where I could rent lighting equipment and possibly hire an assistant.

Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks all in advance.
Regards,
Piet Gispen

Try contacting the local Profoto distributor in Dubai, they sell to rental companies over there. Ask the rental company about good printing and they will lead you to some places. Start from one place and let it snow ball.
