How closely will my prints match the original?
Our goal is to produce a print that at first glance looks like the original. A reproduction print can never be exactly like an original since it uses pigmented ink to reproduce the colours of paint or other artist materials. The finished print can however capture the spirit of the original artwork.
what papers do you use?
Art reproductions can be printed on archival 100% cotton watercolour paper or on polyester cotton canvas. Papers have either a smooth or textured finish and a bright white or natural tone. In consultation with the artist, we pick the most suitable paper in keeping with the qualities of the original art.
Photos can also be printed on archival luster or matte photo papers.
The inks used are stable, permanent, pigmented inks with a high resistance to fading.

WHAT IS A GICLÉE PRINT?
Giclée is a term first used in 1991 to label prints made with Iris printers but it has since become a standard term for quality prints made with inkjet printers.
HOW MANY PRINTS SHOULD I MAKE?
The number of prints to make is a personal choice for the artist. However there are a few things that are good to keep in mind. It is not necessary to print an edition all at once as more prints can be made at any time and they will be consistent with earlier prints. Smaller editions usually increase the value of the individual prints. Getting prints made when needed saves both money and storage space. ​
