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, and all carry a lifespan of up to 200 years:
Moab Entrada RAG Natural 300 gsm
Moab Entrada Bright White 190 gsm
Photo (HP Professional Pigment Satin)
HP Super heavy weight pro Matte

Architectural and aerial photographers often need large prints for their clients. Our fine art printers can print up to 1M wide by any length – the only problem will be getting the frames & glass to fit!
Fine art photographers can benefit from this process with limited edition giclee prints on your choice of paper.
Artists can now offer limited edition reprints on a variety of papers or canvas media which are almost impossible to tell apart from the original.
Illustrators & Designers require high quality prints which are able to represent the care and attention to detail which go into the design & creation process. Our prints have graced the walls of many exhibition houses and we have not had a single complaint to this day!
