We use ColorSpan printers which are the tool of choice for artists and printmakers when it comes to Fine Art Giclée Printing. These printers give you the highest apparent resolution of 1800dpi, which is museum and gallery quality.
Our 8-color printers create continuous-tone image quality at an apparent 1800-dpi. The use of multi-density inks added to the typical CMYK colors, create incredible detail in the highlights, midtones and shadows while reproducing the most subtle transitions from color to color.
Using our long-lasting EnduraChrome dye inks, we can produce outstanding image quality on fine art papers and canvas used by the art community.
Artist usually choose the medium, watercolor paper or canvas, that the original work was done on. A regular Satin paper and other materials are available.
What exactly is Giclée?
Giclée (jhee-clay) - Derived from the french verb gicler
meaning to squirt. The term giclee print typically connotes a
certain elevation in printmaking technology. Images are high resolution
digital scans printed with archival quality inks onto various
substrates. The giclee process provides better color accuracy
than other means of reproduction.
Giclee prints (also known as Iris prints) are advantageous to
artists who find it not feasible to mass produce their work, but
want to reproduce their art as needed.
Once an image is archived, additional reproductions can be made with minimal effort and cost. Thus the up-front cost of mass production is eliminated and printing is done on demand.
Another tremendous advantage to Giclee printing is that artwork can be reproduced to almost any size and on various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client.
Image permanence is a concern to artists and collectors. The Endurachrome Inks are very stable, giving fade & color shift resistance of 75 years on watercolor paper under average indoor light conditions.
Save your digital files on a CD, or DVD to get more reproductions later.
