Giclée
A Giclée print is a high quality archival inkjet print. The word Giclée (pronounced ‘Jee-Klay’ with a soft J), comes from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray".
We use the latest best-in-class Epson Sure Color P9000 printers, capable of producing print resolutions up to 1440 by 2880 DPI.
Giclée Paper
We have 7 of the best-in-class archival art papers from the world’s top producers, including Hahnemühle, Epson and Canson. Each paper has different textures and colour tones.
C-type
So, what are C-type prints? It’s basically the darkroom in the Digital Age – true photographic prints made using chromogenic materials and processes but with the light source coming from a digital file, rather than directly from a negative. Light sensitive silver halide paper is exposed using an LED or laser light source and put through a conventional chemical developing process.
We use Chromira ProLab and RA4 machines, allowing ultra-fine imaging and optimal colour reproduction across the spectrum.
C-Type Paper
We have a choice of 4 different C-type printing papers: 3 Fuji Crystal Archive papers, Matt, Gloss, Flex and Kodak Endura Metallic. Each paper has its own unique characteristics which affect how the image will look in print.
