What kind of materials can be used for printing?
Giclée printing allows for a wide variety of printing surfaces.  We offer watercolor paper, canvas, and photographic paper. 
 

How long does a Giclèe last?
A Giclée is lightfast for 100 years.  By using archival papers and pigments, and treating your Giclèe print the same way you would your original artwork, you can be assured that your print will be just as beautiful and rich years from now. 
 

How do I price my Giclée Prints?
We suggest new artists start their prices as 4x the cost of the print.  As the artist becomes more recognized and collected, the price can go up from there.  Embellished prints would be higher
