Fine Art Giclée Printing & Reproduction Studio

Professional service for Artists, Photographers, Illustrators & Creatives

Get in Touch

High quality Giclée prints made from original artworks, photographs, digital scans or digital art work. Suitable for artists and photographers looking to produce museum quality one off or limited edition art prints. Using archival pigment ink and some of the finest papers and canvas available, I can produce beautiful prints which can last 85+ years.

Printer

Traditionally artists have used Lithographic printing to reproduce work and although high quality prints are achievable, they are much more expensive to set up and harder to produce. Trying to colour tweak while standing at the end of a 5 metre Litho printer as it produces a couple of prints a second can be stressful (40 -50 prints fly through just to check the colour on one!). Technology brings Giclee printing or digital printing which is simpler to set up and therefore not only is it more efficient to run smaller print editions but the accuracy of colour reproduction is easier to achieve with experienced hands.

Based in Edinburgh, prints can be made directly from your own supplied digital files or I can create these for you, either with high resolution photography or digital scanning. I have been working in the field of printing for well over a decade and the field of art for 20+ years and I am happy to discuss any questions or queries you may have with regards making a Fine Art print or an exhibition quality photograph. There are several steps to producing a high quality print and whether it is photographing or scanning the original, using high quality equipment, inks and papers, or experience and care in all aspects I would like to help with any or all.

We use a fully calibrated and colour managed work flow and several Fine Art Trade Guild approved printers. Whether you require an A5 or a 1 by 2 metre one off print, small or large limited editions through to 150 metre wallpaper print jobs for Opera and theatre sets (where printed lengths are pasted like wallpaper to form huge images), I hope to show the same level of commitment and pride with all. Please find further details, paper choices and a price list below.

Price List (vat included)

Print prices are for print only and do not include any extra services. These are based on you supplying the digital file. Files can be supplied in various formats such as Tiff, Psd, Jpeg, Pdf or vector based file formats. Ideally, resolution should be 300dpi or higher and at the correct dimensions for your final print. In many cases we can produce great results from lower resolutions down to about 180 dpi depending on image source. Although we use a colour controlled workflow with calibrated monitors and printer/paper profiles it is recommended to order a smaller proof print to check colour and tone. Please call or email to discuss your full requirements, large or small.

 

Paper Choices

I have used many different papers over the years from Hahnemuhle, Innova, Epson, Ilford and Perma Jet to name a few of the larger brands. My favourites at present are Perma Jet’s current range which offer some beautiful choices in textures and base white tones whilst being resilient and handling friendly. They are exceptional in quality offering excellent colour rendition and sharpness and of course are ph neutral. These papers meet the Fine Art Trade Guild standards of 6+ on the “Blue Wool” scale, stored in normal viewing conditions this translates to 85 years+ in true life conditions (I can supply copies of authorised Lab test certificates if required). Again I am happy to recommend different papers within this range but paper choice can be quite a personal thing and I would suggest popping in to the studio to see and feel the papers for yourself (I can also post out a few samples for a small fee). I am also able to offer any other brand papers if this is your preference. Please call for prices and further details. The prices below cover a general spread of paper choices.
