Services
Gicle Printing
Our gicle printing service uses Canon imagePROGRAF printers with 12-colour LUCIA inks to produce museum-quality fine art prints. We combine archival pigment inks with Hahnemhle-certified papers for exceptional colour depth and longevity exceeding 75-100 years. Each print undergoes individual colour calibration using greyscale patches to ensure perfect tonal reproduction, serving both individual artists and commercial clients.
Archival Media
We offer a curated selection of archival media from leading suppliers including Hahnemhle, Innova Art, and Fotospeed. Options range from 100% cotton museum etching papers to premium photo rag and canvas materials. Our 315gsm soft textured papers and 360gsm archival canvas ensure optimal ink absorption and dimensional stability, meeting the highest industry standards for art reproduction and photographic prints.
Scanning Services
Our professional scanning service handles originals up to A3 size using 50mp Canon 5DS cameras with 'L' series lenses. We employ vacuum tables for perfect focus and studio flash lighting with controlled colour temperatures. Polarising filters manage surface sheen on varnished artworks, while software corrects lens distortion and colour fringing to achieve technically perfect digital files for reproduction.
Custom Framing
We provide tailored framing solutions that complement our gicle prints, using conservation-grade materials. Our services include custom matting, UV-protective glazing, and moulding selection to enhance both traditional and contemporary artworks. All framing components meet archival standards to preserve print longevity while ensuring optimal visual presentation for galleries and private collectors.
Large Format Printing
Our Canon printers handle media up to 60 inches wide for large-scale reproductions without length limitations. This service caters to commercial clients requiring high-impact prints for exhibitions or interior design projects. We maintain consistent colour accuracy across large surfaces using advanced tiling techniques and edge-to-edge calibration for seamless installations.
