FROM ARTWORKTO PRINT.
We start with the artwork or file, determine what the job requires, and carry it through preparation, proofing, printing, and fulfillment.
HOW YOUR WORK BECOMES A PRINT.
Seven steps keep the work controlled from source to finished print.
START WITH THE WORK.
We start with the artwork, how the print will be used, and what needs to stay true to the original.
WHAT WE CONSIDER
Before production, we identify anything that could affect the finished print.
- Original artwork or existing digital file
- Desired print size and image proportions
- Artwork medium, surface, and visual characteristics
- Paper or canvas and intended presentation
- Quantity, edition, exhibition, or collection requirements
- Future reproduction and consistency requirements
BEFORE PRODUCTION
WE LOOK FOR PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME PRINTS.
If resolution, proportions, color settings, material, or size could cause a problem, we contact you before printing.
CREATE THE REPRODUCTION FILE.
If the work is physical, we photograph it to create the high-resolution source file used for printing.
BUILT AROUND THE ORIGINAL
We use a Fujifilm GFX100 II medium-format camera with Broncolor lighting in a controlled studio. The setup is adjusted to the artwork.
- Paintings, drawings, and illustration
- Watercolor and works on paper
- Photography and photographic originals
- Mixed-media artwork
- Textured and reflective surfaces
- Other two-dimensional fine art originals
ARTWORK CAPTURE
TURN THE ORIGINAL INTO A RELIABLE REPRODUCTION FILE.
The completed file can be used for prints, editions, exhibitions, future orders, and digital archiving.
ARTWORK CAPTURE →PREPARE THE IMAGE FOR PRINT.
Whether we created the file or you supplied it, we review and prepare it before printing.
FILE REVIEW & PRODUCTION PREPARATION
We review the file at the intended print size and address anything that could compromise the result. The approved file is then prepared for the selected paper or canvas.
MATERIAL MATTERS
THE FILE AND THE SURFACE WORK TOGETHER.
Paper and canvas affect color, contrast, detail, texture, and the overall look of the print.
PAPERS & CANVASES →SEE THE PRINT BEFORE THE PRINT RUN.
A physical proof shows how the image prints on the selected paper or canvas before final production.
WHAT A PROOF HELPS EVALUATE
The proof lets you evaluate the image and material together before the final run.
- Color balance and relationships
- Contrast and tonal range
- Shadow and highlight detail
- Overall image appearance
- Surface and material characteristics
- Whether further adjustments are appropriate
WHEN IT MAKES SENSE
PROOFING IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE FOR IMPORTANT WORK.
Proofing is especially useful for new work, editions, exhibitions, difficult images, or any job where color or material matters.
PROOFING & APPROVAL →PRODUCE THE FINISHED REPRODUCTION.
After approval, we print with pigment inks on archival fine art papers or artist-grade canvas.
ARCHIVAL DIGITAL FINE ART PRINTING
We print with Canon imagePROGRAF PRO printers and LUCIA PRO pigment inks.
- Color-managed production
- Professional pigment-based printing technology
- Fine image detail and smooth tonal transitions
- Archival fine art papers and artist-grade canvas
- Quality inspection before packaging
- Repeatable production for future orders
THE FINISHED PRINT
THE MATERIAL IS PART OF THE IMAGE.
We choose paper or canvas based on the artwork, the desired surface, and how the finished piece will be presented.
EXPLORE MATERIALS →BUILD A REPEATABLE PRINT.
Once the file, material, and print setup are approved, future orders can follow the same specifications.
USE THE WORK AGAIN.
The approved file can support single prints, editions, exhibitions, gallery releases, collector orders, and ongoing collections.
- Limited editions
- Gallery and exhibition releases
- Collector orders
- Artist inventory
- Ongoing collections
- Future reorders and production runs
FOR PROFESSIONALS
REORDERS SHOULD MATCH THE APPROVED PRINT.
Established files, materials, and sizes make reorders more consistent.
GETTING STARTED →DELIVER THE FINISHED WORK.
We can carry the job through packaging, shipping, and direct-to-client fulfillment.
FROM ORDER TO DELIVERY
Repeat orders can follow the same approved setup and move directly into fulfillment when needed.
- Direct-to-client drop shipping
- Professional packaging and quality review
- White-label fulfillment for professional accounts
- Tracking through your Craft Giclée account
- Support for ongoing collections and repeat orders
- Limited-edition fulfillment workflows
FOR SELLING ARTISTS & PROFESSIONALS
WE CAN HANDLE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER PRINTING.
Drop shipping lets us handle production, packaging, and delivery while you handle the client relationship.

DROP SHIPPING →WE TALK BEFORE WE PRINT.
We look for problems early and talk with you before they become finished prints.
BEFORE AN ORDER ENTERS PRODUCTION
We review files, resolution, color settings, proportions, material, size, and any special production requirements.
If something needs attention, we contact you before printing and explain the options.
Catching issues early helps avoid delays, reprints, and surprises.
OUR APPROACH
NO SURPRISES IF WE CAN HELP IT.
If we see something that could affect the finished print, we bring it to your attention before production.
MADE FOR IMAGE-MAKERS.
The workflow changes with the work. The goal stays the same: a strong print that can be reproduced consistently.
CREATE THE DIGITAL MASTER FIRST.
Artwork capture creates the high-resolution file used for printing and future orders.
START WITH THE BEST FILE YOU HAVE.
We’ll review the file at the intended size and flag anything that needs attention.
READY TO SEE WHAT YOUR PROJECT NEEDS?
Bring us the artwork, the file, or the question. We’ll help determine the next step.
