Our Printer

We provide large format Giclée printing use the lastest generation Epson Stylus Pro 9800 with UltraChrome K3 inks. The Epson 9800 can produce prints on a variety of papers and canvas at sizes up to 44" inches wide by 72 inches or more in length. The Epson 9800 is extremely well regarded for it's ability to produce exceptional color and black-and-white fine art Giclées. Variable-sized droplets of ink as small as 3.5 picoliters are used to optimize photographic quality. Perhaps the most desirable attributes of the Epson print engines are the color consistency, gamut, and rich detail.

Archival Prints

One important element that distinguishes Giclées from other print methods is the attention to archival materials and practices. To deliver beautiful archival prints we have standardized on the following:

• 8-color UltraChrome K3 Ink Technology: All new high-density pigments for an extremely wide color gamut and improved scratch resistance. Improved longevity in excess of 75 years or more.
• New Three-level Black Ink Technology: A three black system significantly improves the printer's gray balance while eliminating color casts. The midtones and highlights have a smoother tonal range. Metamerism and bronzing have been virtually eliminated.
• Premium Archival Media: We use only the finest acid-free 100% cotton and cellulose fine art papers and canvas.
• Protective Coatings: Our liquid laminates provide additional ultraviolet and scuff protection to our prints.

For years inkjet printers fell short when it came to the longevity of their prints. Artists and photographers were intrigued about the possibilities of Giclée printing but the excitement faded when it became apparent that the dye inks would fade in a few years and the pigment inks lacked brilliance and color gamut. But times have changed...

Archival pigment inks like UltraChrome K3 from Epson have changed the Giclée industry by combining the best of both worlds. Achieving both an intense color gamut and the longevity of pigments, UltraChrome K3 inks combined with new archival fine art papers produce stunning prints that will last for generations.
