What is giclee printing?

It means a pigment inkjet print made on archival paper at high resolution. Ours come off a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 using 12 colour LUCIA PRO pigment inks on PermaJet stock.

Which papers can I choose from?

A wide PermaJet range: Titanium Gloss and Lustre, Oyster, Fibre Base Gloss and Royal, Portrait Rag, Museum Heritage, Matt Plus, Smooth Art Silk, Omega Lustre and Distinction. If you want something we do not stock, ask and we will tell you what we suggest before printing.

Can I soft proof before sending my file?

Yes, and we recommend it. Download the PermaJet ICC profiles, soft proof in your editor, then send the file. There is a link on our printing page.

How big can you print?

Up to 24 inches wide and long on the roll, which covers A2, A1 and panoramic work. Anything larger we will talk through with you.

Can you reproduce a painting or drawing?

We can copy flat artwork here in store, colour match it against the original and print editions from that copy. Bring the piece in so we can see it.

Do you print editions for exhibitions?

Yes. Once a print is signed off we keep the settings so repeat prints match, which matters for a hung show or a run of sold prints.
