Giclée Prints from your original art
  • You provide us with your original art. We will transfer it to a digital format by scanning the original.


  • Using Adobe Photoshop we clean up the files and Color Correct to match the image on our screen to your original art. We then print an 8"x10" inch sized proof to be sure everything matches your original art.


  • The proof will either be shipped to you or you can come to the studio to approve or give directions for changes. (if adjustments are needed, we will need to run another proof to receive approval before running the full sized print).


  • Once we receive your approval we will print out the image at your requested size.

  • Note: Please make sure your original image will proportionaly scale to the size you are ordering. Example, a 12"x16" will not scale to an 8"x10", it scales to an 8"x10 1/2". We will either print to scale which will allow you to wrap a small part of the image around your stretcher bars or trim your image and print to the size you require.

  • Once the job is finished, we will archive the color corrected file of your art for future printing. All you have to do is call or email us for reprints.
Giclée Prints from your digital file
  • The steps are the same as above but with you providing your own digital file (300 dpi) and if possible, a sample print of how you want the image to look. (monitors vary from screen to screen, this gives us something to match to. This also speeds the process because we don't have to print as many proofs.) Digital image size must be the same as original image. Example: Original art is 12" x 16", digital must be image size 12" x 16" at 300 dpi or 3600 x 4800 pixels at 300 dpi.


  • If no sample is provided, we will do our best with color correction with the understanding that we are not the artist and don't know, without seeing the original art, what the colors actually look like.
