Fine Art Printing
Giclee printing provides an elevation in printmaking technology by creating prints from high resolution digital scans and printing them with archival quality inks onto various types of media including canvas, fine art, and photo papers. Our giclee prints are created on Epson’s 9800 and 9900 series printers. These printers use the most technologically advanced ink sets in the market today. Epson’s UltraChrome K3 and HDR inksets.
What Giclee Printing Provides Artists & Photographers
Giclee prints provide artists and photographers with the ability to have their work printed “on demand” without the high upfront cost of mass production. They can also be printed at almost any size and on many different medias, thus giving the artist the ability to customize his or her work for a specific client.
The giclee printing process
The giclee printing process provides for better color accuracy and longevity than lithography, and rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes. Prints can be found in museums and art galleries world-wide. A few of which include the Metropolitan in New York, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries.

Epson UltraChrome HDR Inks
Featuring two extra colors – green and orange – the Epson Ultrachrome HDR (High Dynamic Range) ink set is the ultimate professional photo and graphic arts ink that achieves the highest level of color accuracy. Epson Stylus Pro printers using this ink have been certified to cover an unprecedented 98% of the Pantone Matching System colour gamut. This addition of orange and green inks takes inkjet colour performance to an entirely new level. Grass and foliage will be much more vivid and natural, while orange tones like sunsets will be more dazzling. Photographers will be delighted to see that the orange ink also lessens the graininess in skin tones.
