Fine Art Printing
Our printing service includes the following:
- Archival pigment prints on fine art paper using fade-resistant inks
- Professional file preparation to ensure the best possible quality in
the final print
- A complimentary proof, which is a test print that allows you to
make any necessary adjustments before the final print is produced
Please note that if you are skilled in preparing files for printing, you have the option to send your files directly to our printers. This will skip the setup process and included proof, resulting in a lower cost for your order. For more information, visit our Print-Ready page.
Archival Pigment Print
Giclée (pronounced zhee-KLAY) and Pigment Prints are interchangable terms used to describe prints made using archival fine-art paper and archival inks. These prints are known for their quality, high-resolution, color accuracy, long-lasting and fade-resistant qualities, which is why they are often used in museums and galleries. Call us for more information on the specific printers, inks, and papers used in these prints.
Professional File Preparation
Creating a file for viewing on a screen is different from creating a file for printing, and there are many variables to consider, such as personal editing style, the intended display environment, and screen brightness and calibration. These nuances can make the process of preparing a file for print complex. However, we offer a specialized service that takes care of these details to ensure that you receive a high-quality final print.
Test Prints
Since everyone has different preferences, we highly recommend requesting a complimentary proof (test print) before proceeding with the final product. This is especially important for larger print sizes to minimize waste. Our goal is to exceed your expectations and provide you with a print that you are satisfied with.
We can print any size, here are a few of the most popular options:

Paper Options
Baryta Papers are made from rag fibers and coated with barium sulfate, which creates a surface that is similar to traditional silver gelatin darkroom papers. These papers offer high contrast ratios and accurate color reproduction.
Rag Papers have a matte finish that is similar to watercolor paper, resulting in a softer contrast and smoother shadows. They are available in smooth white, natural, and textured finishes.
Photo Papers are known for their high color saturation and scuff-resistance. They are available in luster, gloss, and semi-gloss finishes.
Canvas are made using either cotton or poly-cotton surfaces and are available in matte or glossy finishes. Prices listed above include stretching over a custom 1.75” wooden frame. Unstretched canvas orders are also available upon request. Please note that canvas printing and stretching takes one week to complete.
Please contact us for an additional size information.
If you are proficient in file preparation, you can send it straight to our printers, it will bypass the setup process which in turn saves you about 25%. For more info, go to our Print-Ready page.
