Workflow Printing
We print exclusively using inkjet printers – here’s some information on this.
Ideally: Bring your print files with you to the workshop and have them processed accordingly using our colour management system.
Not every tiny shade of colour matters? Then upload a PDF, TIF, JPEG or whatever format you have, and specify size/paper.
In both cases, select a paper type and ensure you have sufficient funds on your Thoska account to cover the material costs displayed in the workshop –> Please note: not your SCC printing account, but your standard mensa account!
We don’t have fixed printing dates or slots; we print as long as the consumables last and the hardware holds out :-)
First come, first served.
Workflow Picture Frames
The online loan system provides a good overview of colours, sizes and the number of frames available.
Not registered yet? – Register here. The frames can be viewed in person, reservations can only be made online.
There are various accessories available for »hanging« our frames, which you can find out about or reserve directly at the loan system. The images can be cut to size on site, and we usually have space to frame them as well.

Workflow Mat Cutting
Using the mat-cutting tool is easy to learn, it takes just a few minutes. The more often you use it, the better your results. We have mat board in stock (white, whilst stocks last). A sheet of mat board measuring 80×120 cm costs around €9 and is also sold in halves or quarters. Alternatively, you can bring your own mat board.
Workflow Kaschierung – (Bilder auf einen Träger kleben)
Using a laminating machine, we can mount your images onto materials such as wood, plastic, rigid foam, aluminium Dibond, etc. You must bring both the image and the mounting material with you. Please note: Depending on material and print medium, different workflows need to be used. It is therefore essential to make arrangements with the photo workshop (as early as possible).
At summæry, mounting is often not possible out »on demand«, but specific appointments are needed. One square metre of mounting film costs €5.

Photography Workshop
In the Photography Workshop, students work with analogue and digital techniques to create artistic, creative and documentary photographs. They develop concepts, explore the effects of light and space, and produce photo series from shooting through to presentation. The workshop spans two floors and brings together studio work, darkroom processes and digital image editing in close proximity.
Studio work
At the heart of the facility is the 90-square-metre photography studio. Skylights provide natural light, and the room can be completely darkened if required. This allows for precise lighting conditions or experimental setups.
The equipment includes:
- analogue 35mm, medium-format and large-format cameras
- various digital camera systems
- studio flashes
- comprehensive studio equipment
The studio is used to create portraits, still lifes, staged scenes and experimental visual spaces.
Analogue processes
In the photo labs, students develop black-and-white and colour film, produce enlargements and experiment with classic, experimental and historical photographic processes. Analogue and digital processes can be integrated.
The photo labs offer:
- Workstations for black-and-white and colour film development
- Enlargement facilities for black-and-white and colour images
- Space for experimental and historical photographic processes such as cyanotype, etc.
Digital image processing and output
Workstations are available in digital pools for digital image processing and the further processing of analogue image material. Here, students edit their photographs and prepare them for various media.
The technical equipment includes:
- professional scanner and reproduction systems
- workstations with calibrated monitors
- inkjet photo printers up to A0 size
- laminating machine for final presentations
With the aid of a cross-workstation colour management system, students can produce colour-accurate photo prints. Where required, these are mounted onto various backing materials using a laminating machine.
Equipment loan
Students of the Faculty of Art and Design can lend technical equipment for photographic projects. The photography studio offers a selection of professional equipment and provides assistance with its use.
The following equipment is available for loan:
- Analogue and digital camera systems
- Flash units
- Tripods and accessories
- Picture frames and exhibition accessories
Work within the academic context
In the photography studio, students develop their own photographic approaches. They work conceptually, experimentally or documentarily, combining analogue and digital techniques. In addition to independent artistic projects, the studio also produces photographic reproductions of drawings, objects and installations.
The workshop also provides support with the photographic documentation of work, which is often used in presentations, portfolios or final projects.
Technical support
Jonas Tegtmeyer, Master Photographer, and Alexander Rutz, Graduate Designer (Visual Communication), supervise the students. They advise on the implementation of concepts and offer introductions to lab and digital techniques.
