Getting giclee (gee clay) reproduction prints of your artwork is as easy as 1-2-3-4 when you are working with Inkdrop Arthaus.
With 4 simple steps you will have the highest quality reproduction prints of your originals.
Step 1 - The Meeting
The first step to art reproduction is for you to bring your artwork in and we discuss your needs, wants and expectations.
Step 2 - Digital Captures
When photographing art for reproductions we shoot the highest resolution file we can. We use an all digital workflow employing the latest photographic copy equipment. Our first generation digital captures have stunning accuracy which is how we can produce reproductions with spot-on color, tone and detail. Free file archiving!
Step 3 - Proofing
Proofing is where we take the file we just shot, size it, do some color balancing and print test strips on the substrate you choose. When we feel we have it right we print an 8x10ish sized proof for you to look at. Step 3 is the most time consuming because of our attention to detail and concern for matching the original as best we can. Turnaround time will depend on how many originals are brought in per order.
Step 4 - Printing Your Oder
We can print your images on many different substrates. Usually watercolor painters print on watercolor but other papers work just as well. We have available: Watercolor, Artist Rag, Canvas, Enhanced Matte, Polypropylene, Vinyl, Wall Paper, Fabrics, etc. Prices are based on square footage of the image printed. Should you decide to make limited edition reproductions of your art Inkdrop will provide, for free, certificates of authenticity for each print to give to the purchaser for greater value.
Why Digital Reproductions?
More Sales - More Buyers
If all you sell are originals you miss out on the extra income you get from reproduction sales. There is a whole market of art buyers with limited funds who can’t afford originals. This market can buy your giclee reproductions for a fraction of the price of originals.
Less Expense
Low up-front fees and being able to print only what you need, when you need it makes giclee reproductions the perfect process for artists. When you order as you sell you won’t have a large cash outlay and a stack of prints that may never sell.
Best Quality
Giclee prints offer a wider color range and are more accurate than lithograph prints. It is able to produce deep saturated colors and captures the essence of the original art.
