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.
Fine art reproduction is a collaborative process. The best results come from understanding the artwork, understanding the intended use of the finished prints, and following a consistent production approach from beginning to end.
Craft Giclée works with artists, photographers, galleries, museums, and creative professionals who require dependable reproduction, archival materials, and careful attention to detail.
Whether you are producing a single exhibition print, creating a limited edition, or managing ongoing print production, we provide the guidance and production support needed to create consistent, professional results.
Craft Giclée works with artists and creative professionals who require accurate reproduction, archival materials, and consistent production quality.
A successful fine art print depends on several factors working together:

We work with professionals producing artwork for:
When reproduction begins with an original painting, drawing, or mixed-media artwork, the quality of the digital master file determines the quality of future prints.
Craft Giclée creates high-resolution digital master files specifically designed for professional fine art reproduction.
Artwork capture requires careful control of resolution, lighting, color, and surface detail.
Craft Giclée uses a Fujifilm GFX100 II medium format camera system combined with Broncolor professional lighting.
This provides:
Controlled lighting is essential for reducing glare, maintaining color accuracy, and capturing fine surface details.
Artwork is evaluated before capture to determine the appropriate setup.
Considerations include:
The artwork is photographed using a controlled studio environment designed for fine art reproduction.
The capture process focuses on preserving:
The captured file is processed through a color-managed workflow.
Adjustments may include:
The final high-resolution file becomes the foundation for future reproduction.
Digital master files can be used for:
A successful fine art print begins with a properly prepared digital file.
Whether your artwork was professionally captured, photographed previously, scanned, or created digitally, the quality and preparation of the file have a direct impact on the final print.
At Craft Giclée, we help artists, photographers, and creative professionals prepare artwork files for accurate archival reproduction. Our goal is to make sure the digital file contains the information needed to produce a print that faithfully represents the original artwork.
Not all digital files are created equally.
A file that looks excellent on a computer monitor may still require adjustments before it is suitable for professional printing. Factors such as resolution, color settings, image dimensions, and file format all affect how artwork translates from screen to paper or canvas.
Before production, we consider:
Proper preparation helps ensure the final print reflects the quality and intent of the original work.
Resolution determines how much detail is available when an image is enlarged for printing.
The appropriate resolution depends on:
A file prepared for a small print may not contain enough information for a large exhibition piece.
If you are unsure whether your file is appropriate for your desired print size, we can review it and help determine the best approach.
Accurate color reproduction requires consistency throughout the entire process.
Digital files, computer monitors, and printed materials all display color differently. A properly managed workflow helps ensure that the colors, contrast, and tonal relationships in your artwork translate accurately into the finished print.
Important considerations include:
Craft Giclée uses a controlled color-managed workflow throughout production to help maintain consistency and accuracy.
For the best results, we recommend submitting the highest-quality file available.
Preferred file types include:
Whenever possible, avoid repeatedly saving and compressing files, as this can reduce image quality.
If you are unsure whether your file is suitable for printing, we can help evaluate it before production.
Digital adjustments should be made carefully when preparing artwork for fine art reproduction.
Important considerations include:
Many adjustments that look correct on a monitor may appear different when printed on a specific paper or canvas.
Our team can help identify potential concerns before production begins.
Before printing, submitted files are reviewed for issues that may affect the finished artwork.
We look for:
If we identify a problem, we will contact you before printing.
This review process helps prevent avoidable issues and ensures the final print meets your expectations.
For artists creating editions or maintaining an ongoing collection, properly prepared master files are essential.
A consistent digital workflow allows for:
A well-prepared digital file becomes the foundation for successful long-term reproduction.
You do not need to be an expert in digital imaging or color management to create professional fine art prints.
If you have questions about your file, desired print size, or production requirements, we are happy to help determine the best next step.
Craft Giclée specializes in archival digital fine art printing using professional pigment-based printing technology, fine art papers, and artist-grade canvas.
We use Canon imagePROGRAF PRO printers with LUCIA PRO pigment-based inks.
This workflow provides:
Papers and canvases are selected based on:
Printer and ink specifications are available for artists who require documentation for limited edition certificates.
Accurate color is essential to successful fine art reproduction.
A proof allows you to review the actual printed result before final production.
A proof is a smaller, color-adjusted print produced on the actual paper or canvas selected for the final artwork.
Adjustments may include:
The purpose of proofing is to evaluate the finished print before committing to final production.
Every paper and canvas has different characteristics that affect the final appearance.
Substrate differences can influence:
If printing on multiple substrates, we recommend proofing each paper or canvas.
Proofing generally needs to be completed once per substrate.
After approval, the production file is retained and used for future orders unless changes are requested.
This helps maintain consistency between print runs.
Print size changes may require adjustments because artwork proportions do not always scale exactly between sizes.
