We offer a comprehensive fine art (giclee) printing service for clients requiring high
quality prints for exhibitions, artwork reproductions and art sales.
Pronounced "jhee-clay", giclee is a sophisticated inkjet printing method. It combines the use of professional grade large format printers with archival pigment inks, printing onto media such as acid free watercolor papers and canvas. By using custom profiles, precise color correction and expert scanning, pigment printing can render subtle gradations and a larger colour range which is simply out of range with other technologies.
Pigment printing refers to the use of pigments to achieve brilliant and long lasting printed images. Artists have been painting with pigments for centuries creating fade resistant and rich colours. Photographers use different techniques such as "oil pigment printing" to create beautiful results.
Digital pigment printing uses a combination of archival papers, canvas and inks. We take pride in offering the best materials available in a market crowded with many companies using the term "giclee" very loosely. Since we started providing our printing service over 2 years ago, our clients have been thrilled with the quality results they receive from us.
We offer prints on the following media, all prints are archival and carry a lifespan of up to 200 years:
