Our Archival
Fine Art Giclée
Printing
service is for Professional
Artists and Photographers who have
files of their work and wish for us to
print either single prints or editions on Archival
rag papers using only Archival Epson Ultrachrome inks. Your files should be fully edited and/or digitally enhanced before you send them
to us. We examine your
files but do not
make test strips or adjustments to your files unless
asked to. We
"soft proof" each print but
do
not work on the actual files as this is your work,
not ours. Our process
is almost identical to that used by the Museum of Fine Arts
- Boston uses to produce
their Museum Quality prints. The MFA’s Archival Replicas
are produced on an Epson Stylus Pro Ink-Jet printer.
Ours is also an Epson Stylus Pro Ink-Jet printer
which uses the identical technology, inks and papers.
Ours however, uses a 17" paper
path which allows us to print maximum 17x37"
for Fine Art papers and 16x23" for Epson
Premium Luster with a normal 24 Hour Turn-Around time.
Archival
Prints on
Fine Art Watercolor
paper
Our watercolor papers include Epson 100% cotton rag UltraSmooth
Fine Art paper, which is the
same paper used by the Museum of Fine Arts -
Boston to produce their faithful reproductions.
The Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art paper, is
a 100% rag, acid-free archival
ink-jet paper. The Epson Velvet Fine Art paper is a whiter paper
with nice texture looking more like a watercolor
paper and is our favorite as it shows up the
whites better than the warm UltraSmooth Fine
Art paper. Epson Premium Luster is Epson's
Fine Art paper with 100+ years Archival and
a gives wonderful color range with high D-Max
for true color fidelity and renditions. This paper has an ink-jet coating that is engineered to give the
highest resolution and color saturation achievable with current digital printing
technology. Our
Archival Fine Art prints are produced on a Epson
Professional printer using archival inks with
a 17" width paper path.
