Professional fine art printing for painters, illustrators and independent artists across the UK.
Giclée Printing for Artists and Illustrators
Turn original artwork and digital illustrations into accurate, exhibition-quality prints with a colour-managed service built around artists.
Giclée UK supports one-off proofs, short print runs, repeat editions and direct-to-customer fulfilment. We can help at every stage, from digitising an original and preparing the file to selecting a suitable paper, approving a proof and producing consistent repeat orders.
Accurate reproduction
Colour-managed printing, archival pigment inks and carefully selected fine art papers help preserve the character, detail and tonal range of your work.
Proof before production
Reviewing a proof lets you assess colour, detail and paper choice before committing to a full run, exhibition order or limited edition.
Flexible artist support
Order the quantity you need, return for consistent repeat prints, or ask about white-label fulfilment when you sell work online.
Artwork we regularly help reproduce
Our workflow is suitable for artists working in traditional and digital media, including:
- Watercolour, gouache and ink artwork
- Oil and acrylic paintings
- Drawings, pastels and mixed-media work
- Digital illustration and graphic artwork
- Photography and composite images
- Open and limited-edition print collections
If you only have the original artwork, our scanning and digitisation service can create a high-resolution master file. Larger, textured or unusual work may need a different capture approach, so contact us for advice before bringing or sending an original.
From original artwork to finished print
- Tell us about the project. Include the artwork type, finished size, quantity and how the prints will be used.
- Supply or create the master file. Send a high-resolution file or arrange professional digitisation.
- Choose paper and proofing. We will discuss suitable options and recommend a proof when colour and detail are critical.
- Approve the result. Adjustments can be made after reviewing a proof and before the final run.
- Print, collect or deliver. We can produce one-off work, repeat orders and fulfilment for artists selling online.
For projects where exact colour is essential, see our colour management and proofing service.
Limited editions and repeat orders
Consistency matters when collectors may buy from the same edition months apart. A colour-managed master and approved proof create a reliable reference for repeat orders. We can support limited-edition print runs and provide certificates of authenticity as a costed service when required.
Selling prints online
Our print fulfilment and drop-shipping service can produce and send prints directly to your customers using white-label packaging. This can reduce the need to hold stock and lets you order prints as sales are made.
Tell us your usual sizes, order volume, packaging requirements and destinations so we can recommend a suitable workflow.
Giclée printing for artists: common questions
Can I order a single proof before a print run?
Yes. A proof is strongly recommended for first orders, exhibitions and limited editions because it lets you assess the image on the intended paper before final production.
Can you scan my original artwork?
Yes. We provide high-resolution scanning and digitisation, followed by colour correction and proofing where required.
Can you keep later orders consistent?
We use colour-managed workflows to maintain consistency across repeat orders and editions. Keeping an approved proof as the visual reference is particularly valuable.
Do you send prints directly to an artist’s customers?
Yes. White-label fulfilment and direct shipping are available. Contact us with your expected order pattern and packaging requirements.
