Giclée Printmaking

The quality of original fine art prints with the convenience of digital output.

Giclée printmaking is a process created specifically for artists who need to produce exceptional and consistent editions of their work, often in a numbered series.

The end result is a museum quality print at a much lower price than traditional printmaking. This allows artists to easily market their work, expand their portfolio and archive previously sold originals.

Our Giclée prints also use inks that are archival and rated lightfast for up to 200 years, insuring your prints will stand the test of time. And with the Giclée printmaking process, the last printed piece in an edition will be identical to the first.

About Matching Your Original

The range of colors that can be reproduced by a particular combination of paper and inks (or pigments/dyes) is known is the gamut. 

The pigments used in your original art have a unique gamut and the dyes used in the Giclée Printmaking process have their own gamut which may or may not be able to exactly match ALL of those colors. 

TAYLOR PHOTO uses materials that produce the largest gamut possible to ensure that the final print is as close as possible to the original.

Black and White Sundance Giclée´ Prints

Our black and white Giclée prints are made on the latest Epson printers using Sundance Septone Inks and proprietary R9 Pixel Picasso software. As with our color Giclée color prints, we offer a variety of archival Somerset papers, availing photographers and artists a wide range of choices. This system produces rich warm-toned black and white images that rival or surpass what is possible with printing on conventional fiber-based papers.
