Non-giclée prints are generally produced at high-speed using four colour (CMYK) dye inks onto non-coated papers which have been bleached at time of manufacture. This bleaching discolours over time and dye inks are prone to fading. Giclée prints are produced using eight or more pigment-based inks which are resistant to fading. Giclée papers are specially coated to accept pigment inks, are acid-free, archival quality and do not contain wood pulp which is the main ingredient of standard paper. It is the combination of pigment inks and archival paper/canvas which differentiate true giclée prints from other prints. All of our giclée papers are a minimum of 250gsm in weight which meets ArtSure standards for giclée printing.

Not if reasonable care is taken, such as avoiding display in direct sunlight. Giclée prints are produced using archival materials, namely pigment inks and high grade archival, fine art papers, some being 100% cotton.

We can produce prints up to 44in x 135in / 112cm x 343cm.

Yes, we have two canvas options; Natural Matt 400gsm 100% cotton base (heavyweight), and Matt Polyester 260gsm (lightweight). If you intend to have the canvas stretched onto a frame, you should allow for additional canvas required for wrapping around the frame when deciding on overall canvas size.

Yes we do. If you would like us to manage your limited edition by keeping a record of prints produced and supplying numbered certificates with each print, we are happy to do that. The only addition cost is £8.50 for the setup of your certificate template plus £0.25 per numbered certificate as issued. You are free to manage the edition yourself and supply your own numbered certificates if you prefer, however, if we are asked to confirm the edition as the printer, we would have to say we cannot confirm it because we do not keep records of prints produced.

By all means! Please ensure it is well protected, ideally between sheets of thick cardboard, using a tracked service. We will immediately inform you of its safe arrival.

Yes, every print we produce comes complete with a free, generic Certificate of Authenticity stating the inks and substrate used along with care guidelines.

Prints up to A2 in size can be sent flat, however, larger prints will be sent rolled in a sturdy tube. Can you send prints directly to my customer? Yes, that is no problem. We will invoice you for the print plus P&P and then post via a 24hr tracked service and provide you with the tracking details to enable you to see when the item has been safely delivered. Due to data protection laws, you need to make your customer aware that their details will be shared. Limited Edition prints will need to be sent to you to sign and number before you send them on.

Yes, but please speak to us first to ensure your digital art is saved in a suitable format and size.
