Success in the world of archival digital printing requires not only the right equipment is also requires, experience in understanding the subtleties of what makes an exceptional color or B&W print. Whether you are a film or digital shooter, the expertise of our scanning and digital print department can apply that experience and deliver the best possible output from your negatives or digital files. Our skills are complemented by our use of archival Ultrachrome pigment inks and our full line of paper choices ranging from traditional photo papers to 100% rag acid free archival and sustainable selections. Metallic paper, the newest addition to our digital print line, has a unique look that really adds impact and dimension to color and B&W images.

This has enabled us to reproduce digital images with space age detail. This gives us the ability to provide a more affordable and creative method of reproduction for many sorts of digital images. Older methods of print reproduction involved expensive photographic prints or high quantity lithographs which would require the artist or photographer to print hundreds or even thousands of prints at a time.

With this technology we are able to provide a product that is affordable and can emulate an original look and feel. Since the print head actually uses ink jet it is able to print on a range of print materials such as canvas, heavy art paper, watercolor paper, and vinyl.

The giclée process does require any original piece, be it a painting or a photograph, to be in digital format. Artwork, Photos, and transparencies must be scanned or photographed with high resolution equipment.

 

The benefits to using the giclée process.

The benefits are archiving your work in a way that emulates your original. You could reproduce as few as one or as many as you would like. It is good for photographers of all levels from amateur shooting with a simple point and click device or even a seasoned photographer shooting with the most sophisticated equipment known to man. Artist can now provide a creative new looking reproduction of their drawings, paintings, and more. Even 3-d and digital artist can get in on the fun!
