Gallery wrapped prints have the canvas wrapped around wood stretcher bars and are ready to hang. We offer several different stretcher bar depths to meet your needs. All gallery wrapped canvases are hand-sprayed with an archival UV coating of your choice and come with a wired back.
Rolled canvas prints are flat canvases that are not wrapped around stretcher bars. Ideal for shipping to clients who would rather save on postage costs and have canvases wrapped at their locale, or if you are going to mount the canvas to board or another substrate. Hand-sprayed with an archival UV coating of your choice.
Each of the matte smooth papers we offer has little to no texture, making them perfect for a wide range of imagery as they provide a blank canvas, as it were, to show off your artwork. Papers come in a variety of brightness and thickness to meet your needs. We suggest a heavier weight paper when making limited edition prints.
Ideal for watercolors, pastels, and charcoal imagery, our matte textured papers so perfectly mimic ‘real’ watercolor paper that it’s nearly impossible to tell that your print is a reproduction. We offer papers ranging from moderately to heavily textured to meet your needs.
These papers bring a slight sheen to your imagery and work very well with portraiture and landscape photography. They range from smooth, pearlized surfaces to moderately textured gloss surfaces that highlight saturated colors and high contrast black and white images. Our satin and pearl papers have the least reflective properties, while luster and baryta papers are glossier.
Our Baryta papers offer an amazing old school look and feel of a traditional silver print. Very reminiscent of early 20th and mid-century photographic papers, these Baryta papers are made with a special coating of barium sulfate that is used with photographs developed in a traditional darkroom. The textured, glossy surface adds loads of depth and offers some of the best color pop for your imagery.
Truly unique, these metallic papers add depth and brilliance to your imagery. The metallic pearl has a soft, smooth pearlized surface while the metallic silver will enhance any blue tones in your print. Metallic papers don’t work for all images, however, so you may want to talk to us prior to placing an order.
Gloss papers most closely resemble photographs that are printed in traditional darkrooms. The highly reflective, resin-coated surface allows your imagery to pop - especially high contrast and black and white photography. Best for times when you need your colors to be deeply saturated and sharp.
Whether you are preparing your first fine art print, reproducing original artwork, or managing an established collection, Craft Giclée helps guide you through the archival fine art printing process.
We work with artists, photographers, illustrators, galleries, designers, creative professionals, and anyone seeking high-quality archival fine art printing.
Below are answers to common questions about giclée printing, artwork files, proofing, materials, and production.
A giclée print is a high-quality fine art reproduction created using professional inkjet printing technology.
When produced with professional pigment-based inks and appropriate fine art papers or canvases, giclée prints are designed for long-term display with excellent detail, tonal range, and color reproduction.
At Craft Giclée, every print is created through a careful color-managed workflow designed to preserve the character, detail, and intent of the original artwork.
The difference is in the process, materials, and attention to detail.
Professional giclée printing combines high-quality image preparation, professional printing equipment, pigment-based inks, fine art media, and careful color management to achieve the consistency expected by artists, photographers, galleries, and collectors.
The final result depends on more than the printer alone. The artwork file, media selection, and production process all contribute to the finished print.
No. Craft Giclée welcomes anyone looking for high-quality archival fine art printing.
Our process is designed around the needs of artists, photographers, galleries, and creative professionals who require accurate reproduction and consistent results. However, anyone can order a fine art print through our website.
For professional artists and photographers, we strongly recommend proofing before producing final prints or editions.
A digital image viewed on a monitor does not always represent how it will appear as a finished print. The selected paper or canvas can influence color, contrast, detail, texture, and overall presentation.
A physical proof allows you to evaluate your artwork on the actual selected media and make any final adjustments before completing your order.
Not always. Monitors and printed materials display images differently.
The appearance of a finished print can be influenced by monitor calibration, file settings, selected media, lighting conditions, and the characteristics of the artwork itself.
For projects where color accuracy is critical, a physical proof provides the best way to evaluate the final result.
For the best results, submit the highest-quality file available.
Recommended file formats:
Files should be submitted in RGB color mode with an embedded profile such as Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Avoid screenshots, images downloaded from websites or social media, and heavily compressed files.
An image resolution of approximately 300–355 PPI (pixels per inch) is recommended for many fine art applications.
The ideal resolution depends on the artwork, final print size, viewing distance, and amount of detail within the image.
Craft Giclée can produce fine art prints up to 60 inches wide on the short side, allowing for large-scale artwork, panoramic images, and oversized reproductions.
The final print size depends on the quality, resolution, and detail of the original image file, as well as the intended viewing distance and presentation.
The best media choice depends on the characteristics of your artwork and the presentation you want to achieve.
Color, contrast, texture, detail, and display environment all influence the final appearance. We offer a selection of professional fine art papers and canvases chosen to complement different artistic styles and applications.
Craft Giclée specializes exclusively in archival fine art printing using professional pigment-based inks and carefully selected fine art papers and canvases.
When produced with appropriate materials and properly cared for, archival fine art prints are designed for long-term display and color stability.
Print longevity depends on the materials used, lighting conditions, framing, handling, and the environment where the artwork is displayed.

If you already have a properly prepared digital file, you can begin with that file instead. Both options allow Craft Giclée to create archival fine art prints based on your artwork.
