What We Do
Every print is handled as a reproduction project — not a commodity inkjet job.
- Colour-managed workflow
- Archival pigment inks
- Fine art & photographic papers
- Custom sizing
- White-label available
Archival Pigment Printing We print using professional large-format pigment ink systems designed for archival permanence.
Why pigment inks matter:
- Resistant to fading
- Stable blacks and shadow detail
- Wider colour gamut
- Suitable for gallery and museum display
Properly produced pigment prints can last decades without noticeable colour shift when displayed under normal conditions..
“Print quality is not defined by resolution alone, but by colour accuracy, material choice, and control throughout the production process.”
What you receive
Colour Accuracy & File Preparation
Colour accuracy is controlled through:
- Calibrated monitors
- ICC profiles for each paper
- Soft-proofing before print
- Optional physical proof prints
We work in Adobe RGB and convert carefully for print output. Files should be supplied at correct dimensions and resolution (typically 240–300dpi at final size, depending on viewing distance).

FAQ
What we get asked most!
Yes. We work with agencies, designers and galleries on a white-label basis. Orders can be blind-shipped directly to your client with neutral packaging and documentation.
Yes — within the limits of the source file. Deep shadows require correct exposure and sufficient bit depth. We can soft-proof and adjust tonal curves where needed, but clipped blacks cannot be recovered.
Adobe RGB is preferred. sRGB is acceptable but offers a smaller colour gamut. Avoid converting multiple times before submission. If unsure, supply the highest-quality original file and we will manage the output profile.
Yes. High-resolution scanning and file preparation are available. Accurate capture is critical — poor scans limit print quality, regardless of the printer used.
Yes. We can print fixed-size editions with consistent colour control across batches. If you reorder months later, we reference the original paper profile and production settings to maintain consistency.
Yes. We work from calibrated systems and can adjust files where required.
With pigment inks and cotton rag paper, prints can last several decades when properly displayed.
Giclée refers to high-resolution pigment printing on archival substrates using controlled colour workflows. A standard inkjet print typically uses dye inks and non-archival media.
Collection may be possible by appointment. Please contact us in advance to arrange this.
Yes. Proofs are produced using the same inks and papers as final prints, making them the best reference for colour and detail.
Yes. Adjustments can be made after reviewing a proof before proceeding with the final print run.
Proofs may be produced at reduced size or as test strips. Full-size proofs are available on request.
When should I order a proof print?
Yes, subject to paper availability. We aim for consistency across repeat and limited-edition runs.
Yes. Sample packs are available to help you compare paper surfaces and finishes before committing to a print run.
Speciality papers may be possible depending on availability and suitability. Please contact us to discuss specific requirements.
Paper choice depends on the artwork style, level of detail, and desired finish. We recommend proof prints or sample packs if you’re unsure.
Yes. We regularly work with recognised fine-art paper manufacturers such as Hahnemühle and Canson, among others.
In some cases, yes. Upscaling is assessed carefully and proof prints are recommended to confirm acceptable quality before full production.
Maximum print size depends on file resolution and viewing distance. We assess each file individually and will advise on safe print sizes.
Print quality is influenced by file resolution, colour profile, paper selection, print size, and the condition of any scanned originals.
Colour accuracy depends on calibration, source files, and paper choice. Screens vary widely, so proof prints are the most reliable way to confirm final colour.
Yes. When produced using archival pigment inks and fine-art papers, Giclée prints are designed to last for decades under normal display conditions.
Giclée prints use higher-quality inks, papers, and colour management compared to standard digital printing, resulting in improved detail, tonal range, and longevity.
We offer a curated range of fine-art papers, including smooth matte, textured cotton rag, and photographic finishes.
