The computer has revolutionized our world over the last decade. It has done the same for printmaking technology. Gone are the days of the lithograph as a source for fine art prints, in their place stand giclees.Giclee (jhee-clay) is a French word that means "a spray or spurt of liquid." With a giclee print, your artwork is transformed into a high resolution scan that is printed with archival inks onto the art paper of your choosing. Giclees provide superior accuracy than other forms of reproduction, because each substrate has an ICC Color profile created uniquely for it to ensure optimum color accuracy. Giclee prints are ideal for artists who do wish to produce their art on an on demand basis rather than a mass production that may not neccessarily sell all of the prints. Our giclees are created using the HP 5000 DesignJet and the Epson 9600 large format printers. This technology enables us to produce highly detailed prints for the fine arts. The use of digital scans also makes reproduction quick, easy, and cost effective once the initial processing is done. It also allows for the artist to be more creative and the ability to reproduce their art in almost any size and on any paper they desire - opening up new markets for their work and allowing for customization.

The quality of your image is important to us. The Color Company brings over 30 yearsof experience in color separation and color correction to your project.We use UV pigmented archival ink, which provides superior results and a gauranteed life expectancy of 100 years or more under museum conditions.
