What we do...

PROFESSIONAL GICLÉE PRINTING

We are specialist photo and fine art printers, based in London, offering high quality archival digital fine art & photo printing also known as Giclée printing. Giclée is ideal for high quality, limited edition print runs in large or small format and to any specification you need.

  • High quality archival pigment printing (Giclée) on fine art and photo papers
  • Specialist digital Black & White printing
  • Exhibition and portfolio printing
  • Artwork photography
  • Artwork scanning
  • High resolution Hasselblad/Imacon film scanning
  • Digital retouching and enhancement
We offer a fully colour managed workflow, specialising in affordable large format photo and fine art pigment printing (high quality inkjet printing made with pigment based inks), using the latest EPSON large format printers, especially the SureColor SC-P9000 and the Stylus Pro 9900 with EPSON Ultrachrome HDX and HDR inks, on a selection of premium quality archival fine art papers, photo papers and canvases at competitive prices.

We can also produce Giclée prints from original artworks. The process involves photographing or scanning the artwork producing a high quality digital file that can be colour corrected as required to match the original artwork.

Our technical expertise and experience means we can work together to get the best out of your images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • What is Giclee Printing?

    The word Giclée (zhee-klay) comes from the French word gicler meaning “to squirt, spurt, or spray”. The term is now generally accepted to describe high quality art and photographic inkjet printing, on fine art and photo papers, using archival pigment inks. Giclée printing is perfect for fine art reproduction, photography, digital art and illustration.

  • How long do Giclee Prints last?

    We use EPSON Ultrachrome HDX and HDR archival inks and only acid free papers and canvasses for the finest and most long lasting prints. Even though the term “archival” is not quantifiable, no standards exist that describe how long an “archival” print would last, appropriately stored prints or prints framed under glass, depending on the paper, expected to last at least 80-100 years in good environmental conditions and always away from direct sunlight. Prints framed under glass with UV protection will last even longer.

    Please visit Wilhelm Imaging Research and Aardenburg Imaging & Archives for more information and detailed analysis. Also, please read carefully “Do Giclée prints require special care and handling?” further down on this page.
