Our Digitising Services:

Giclee Printing

Commonly referred to as “Giclee” printing. Water based pigmented inks with highest level of print permanence currently available. Prints created in this method have excellent color gamut and can be done on over 30 different papers and more than 6 canvas options. Print surfaces 

Fine Art Digital Capture

Sometimes artwork is too large for our scanner or is simply unavailable to be scanned at our studio. In cases like this, our photography department is available to assist.

We use a combination of scanning or photographing to digitizing original artwork for high-quality reproductions (giclee), archival purposes, or online use. We provide a high-quality option for artwork reproduction that suits everyone from the amateur to the professional.

The Process

Whether you want to print your own or reproductions or have a professional printing company make them, you will require a high-quality digital file.

Digital Image of Original Artwork – $30 per square foot

We use the above process when an artist wants to reproduce an original piece of art. These reproductions are called Giclees. We photograph or scan the original with a color corrected workflow to ensure accurate color for your prints. We then print an 8″ x 10″ proof on our Hot Press Bright fine art paper. All of our digital captures (scans) include the following.

• Digital Capture Master file (tif) along with two smaller file formats (jpeg)
• Color Correction
• Cropping and Spot Removal
• 8” x 10” Proof on Ilford Textured Silk
• Dropbox Delivery

A Note on Accuracy:

Every giclee printer attempts to match your work accurately, but depending on equipment, types of inks, and papers, it is not always possible to achieve a 100% match. This is often the case when attempting to reproduce onto a media that is different than the original. For example, trying to print an original oil painting onto a Fine Art Textured paper. In this instance, the range of the colors created by the inks used in the printing process might not precisely match the colors that can be formed by the oil paints used in the original. They are entirely different compounds and have different characteristics. Please keep in mind that the goal is to create a sell-able reproduction that is an accurate representation of your original. We will do whatever we can to help achieve this goal.
