Museum Quality Printing
Our canvas prints are printed on 100% cotton artist's canvas using our giclée printing method. A giclée is an individually produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclées are generated from high resolution digital scans of existing artwork and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. Also, since much of our artwork is now painted digitally, there is not an "original" that exists. Giclées solve that problem. Each printed edition is a first generation rendering.
The Quality: The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes. They are also superior to traditional lithography in nearly every way. The colors are brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution that they are virtually 'continuous tone', rather than tiny dots. The range, or "gamut", of color for giclées is far beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper.

Giclée Market
Giclées are commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries. Numerous examples of giclée prints can be found in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chelsea Galleries. Recent auctions of giclée prints have fetched $10,800 for Annie Leibovitz, $9,600 for Chuck Close, and $22,800 for Wolfgang Tillmans (April 23/24 2004, Photographs, New York, Phillips de Pury & Company.)

Protective Coating
We coat every canvas giclée by hand. The coating is used to help protect the artwork from moisture, humidity, abrasions, fingerprints, and UV sunrays.
Screen Color
The color in your artwork is likely to differ somewhat from what you see on your monitor. All monitors are different. Unless they're calibrated, they will never be fully accurate. Our giclée printing method is used to ensure quality, consistency and color accuracy.
