What is Silverlight?

Microsoft Silverlight is the most comprehensive offering for the rapid creation and delivery of sophisticated applications through a Web browser. Forged from technology used in over 100,000 companies, Silverlight has the full support of Microsoft's tools, technologies, and thriving partner ecosystem.

What about Deep Zoom?

Deep Zoom is an implementation of the Seadragon technology for use in Microsoft Silverlight applications. It allows users to pan around and zoom in a large, high resolution image or a large collection of images. It reduces the time required for initial load by downloading only the region being viewed and/or only at the resolution it is displayed at. Subsequent regions are downloaded as the user zooms into them.

Why did PXP chose to partner with Silverlight and Deep Zoom technology?

PXP has developed the most comprehensive design gallery in the screen printing industry. In order to showcase our amazing prints, we needed a technology that would allow us to give the full detail the prints deserved. Silverlight, in conjunction with Deep Zoom, gave us that cutting edge.
