Services
Giclee Printing
Our giclee printing service uses a Canon Pro2000 printer with 12 pigment-based inks to produce museum-quality prints. The process includes colour calibration, custom ICC profiles, and use of archival-grade papers and canvases approved by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Each print undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure accurate colour reproduction and longevity exceeding 85 years under standard display conditions.
Artwork Scanning
We offer high-resolution scanning of original artwork using calibrated flat-bed scanners at 600ppi. The process includes soft-proofing on colour-calibrated monitors and hard-proofing on selected media. Adjustments are made using non-destructive editing techniques to maintain fidelity to the original artwork while removing unwanted imperfections when requested.
Mountboard Cutting
Custom mountboard cutting service using Daler Rowney white-core boards available in multiple colours. We cut to precise specifications up to A1 size or 60x50cm frames. Each order includes backing board and cellophane wrapping, with options for special colours upon request to meet specific presentation requirements.
Print Media Selection
Curated selection of archival-quality papers and canvases from brands like Hahnemhle and Innova Art. Options include cotton rag, bamboo fibre, and poly-cotton materials in various textures and finishes. All media options meet Fine Art Trade Guild standards for lightfastness and archival properties, suitable for limited edition prints.
Print-on-Demand
Digital file storage and print-on-demand service for artists requiring flexible production. Files stored securely for minimum 12 months with options for direct shipping to customers.
