Fine Art pigment, or giclee, prints are widely accepted in galleries worldwide as an ultra high quality method of printing limited edition or open edition print runs. Fine art can be digitally reproduced upon a wide variety of papers each offering different finishes and weights similar to traditional artists media. We only print upon high quality Digital Fine Art media specifically designed for maximum image quality and print longevity. Tests suggest a life-span in excess of 100 years under optimum conditions.

Pigment printing offers photographers the highest quality and archival properties of any digital printing. Papers are available with the same finishes as traditional wet process papers yet offer a substantially longer life-span. Digital pigment prints can last over 100 years under optimum conditions whereas most traditional photographic prints will degrade considerably after 20 years.

Pigment prints have a turnaround time of 48 hrs as standard, ensuring that prints have reached maximum stability before they are dispatched.

Click To Upload Your Files



To ensure we are able to produce the highest quality prints from your digital files, the highest possible quality file must be provided to print. The guidlines below outline certain criteria that should be adhered to in order to produce the best possible file. Please follow these guidelines when preparing your digital files ready to be printed.

Naming Of Submitted Files Please make sure all files are clearly labelled. Multiple files submitted for different sized prints should be labelled with the appropriate size, e.g.. File1A4.tif
File Resolution. DPI or PPI & File Dimensions We request that submitted images have a resolution of 300 pixels per inch with the image at the actual height and width settings that will be used in print. If you would like your file printed at a larger size than the resolution will allow we can upscale submitted files but we require the largest file you have in order to maintain quality.
Colour Bit Depth, 16 bit Or 8 bit. Also Written As 48 bit Or 24 bit. If you have an image file at 16 bits (also written as 48 bit) per channel, please submit this as this will ensure the smoothest tonal reproduction; otherwise 8 bits (also written as 24 bit) will be fine. You cannot convert 8 bit to 16 bit to increase quality. The files must be 16 bit throughout the workflow, from start to finish.
Embedding ICC Profiles. RGB, Grayscale & CMYK Profiles If you have edited your file in an RGB, Grayscale or CMYK colour space, please make sure that this colour space profile is embedded when saving your files. Do not embed a printer profile. Eg. If you have edited your file in the Adobe RGB (1998) colour space then this colour space profile should be embedded (Tagged) with the file.
Output Sharpening Of Files. Unsharp Mask Please do not apply any output sharpening. We will apply the correct amount of sharpening to suit the printing media used and the final print size.
File Formats For Submitted Files Please deliver the image files to us in TIFF (.tif or .tiff) format. Uncompressed TIFF files will ensure the highest quality prints are produced. You can supply PDF (.pdf) or JPEG (.jpg) format files if they are of sufficient quality. Vector files (.ai) can be submitted for illustrations.
