How We Copy Art

We partner with a company to provide the best in art copy. Many of the archiving departments of world class museums also use the Cruse camera because of its extraordinary ability to accurately record the subtle line, color, texture and shape of flat art and three dimensional objects. For art that can be wrapped around a drum and for film originals up to 8.5x11 we offer Tango drum scanning. Our preference is always to work from the original art when possible.

Printing

Fine Art Paper and Canvas each have different surface coatings and therefore requiring different inks to maximize image fidelity in two separate Epson inkjet printers.

We use the Ultrachrome inks manufactured by Epson and touted by Henry Wilhelm Research. Wilhelm’s test suggests that giclées printed with Ultrachrome inks, and when framed with a UV filter protection, will last without noticeable color or density changes for over 150 years For more information, please check the following webpage http://www.wilhelm-research.com/epson_9600_preview.html.

We offer both a smooth and rough fine art papers as well a matte gloss lacquered poly-cotton blend gelatin-coated art canvas.

For large orders and ongoing business relationships we are happy to negotiate special pricing.
