Giclee
The word giclee is derived from the French word for spray and refers to the technical manner in which the ink jets spray pigmented inks onto
specialized coated archival substrates. Giclee prints are also called archival pigment prints.
Photolab Studio
prints are made with archival pigment inks that are suspended micro-encapsulated chemicals with extremely pure color characteristics
and high end watercolor papers or canvas. This is in contrast to inks found in low cost desktop inkjet printers. Our print-makers have been
studying and working in the industry since its earliest days in the 1990s.
Chrome on Paper: why we love it
 Kodak Metallic Paper
has a
glossy finish and metallic-looking
appearance which creates images with exceptional visual interest and
depth.
Try it for senior portraits, sports & special events, fine
portraiture weddings and displays. Landscapes look amazing too!
Photographers say the look is
"chrome on paper." And it works great with B&W too. Come in
a check out our sample prints.

Art Reproduction
Photolab will scan
and master a digital image of your original artwork. Watercolor,
charcoal and pencil drawings, oil paintings and mixed media all lend
themselves well to this technique. Our art reproduction process allows
you to make unlimited (or limited edition) prints in sizes larger,
smaller or the same as your original. Our giclee printing studio system
uses high end Epson and Canon printers, custom software rips,
proprietary profiles and hardware calibration throughout.
