Why choose us as your giclee printer?
We're a group of artists who, perhaps like you, have been unable to find a printmaker that was able to achieve the level of quality we desired. Especially regarding color correction and attention to detail. Finally, in 1995, we decided it was time to venture into the printing world ourselves. We purchased state-of-the-art equipment and spent the next several years refining our scanning, color correction and printing methods. After much experimentation and collaboration with experts in the field, we have developed a unique system that has resulted in unparalleled levels of detail capture and color matching. We now offer this service to other artists.
We're a small shop and usually handle small to medium runs. We have no minimum and don't require large orders to get a fair price. You'll get our best price even if you only order one print. We understand an artist's need to control costs so we recommend printing your edition in small batches reordering prints as needed.
What we'll need from you
Our unique system requires us to scan your original work. Our proprietary scanning technique is the foundation of our superior results. Be assured, your artwork will be handled with the utmost care. We can, of course, work from transparencies and digital files but our results will be limited by the quality of those scans.
