Art Reproduction

The Fine Art print has gained the admiration and respect of artists, photographers, graphic designers, and perhaps most importantly, the buying public. Used by the Louvre Museum in Paris to substitute original works of art too fragile to exhibit, Fine Art prints are also known in the art world by the French word "Giclée" (zhee-clay).

Our Fine Art prints stand out because of their uncompromising fidelity and fineness of detail and graduation. With a resolution of up to 2800 dpi, our Epson Stylus Pro 9880 printer uses a continuous stream of minute ink droplets about the size of around one quarter the width of a human hair - the boundary of resolution for the human eye. Results are close to continuous tone prints. When printed on archival art papers and canvas, the Fine Art print has the look and feel of original art.

If you do not have a high resolution image of your artwork suitable for making reproductions, we get an image of it taken with a Hasselblad H2D-39. This medium format camera produces a superior image of 39 megapixels with unsurpassed clarity and sharpness. We then prepare the image for printing and perform colour checks to ensure the printed reproductions match your original.

Some of the advantages of Fine Art reproductions:

• You can order prints as needed without large up-front obligations and storage problems associated with traditional lithography. (This allows you to test market a new idea or image. You would continue to use  a traditional lithographer for mass production of images or large limited editions).

• Fine Art reproductions are the perfect medium for established and emerging artists, allowing you much better control of your cash flow.

• You can order just one reproduction to matte and frame as a display piece, then order more as requests come in!

• The technology provides incredible detail and brilliant color. The resolution (dpi or dots per inch) are actually higher than traditional lithography (2800 dpi for Epson Stylus Pro as opposed to 300 dpi for lithographs) which shows crisp contrast with rich, intense color. When canvas prints are treated with acrylic varnish, you can even paint on top of the image to produce another individual original piece.
