Getting Started:

1. We will need a digital file of your artwork.

In order to make a giclee print, we either need your original art or a digital image from which to print.

We can scan or photograph your original artwork or you can do it yourself by relying on a local resource.

If you are reproducing original artwork, but do not yet have a digital file, read here about how to digitally capture your artwork.

2. You may need to proof your work before making a final print.

We strongly recommend proofing your artwork if:

a. It is of an original painting (i.e. watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel).

b. Digital art or photography that will be part of a large order.

Digital Art and Photography does generally not require proofing. However, we will sometimes recommend proofing first if we feel that you will not be happy with the final print.

Proofing Takes Approximately One Week After We Receive Your Electronic File

The cost of proofing ranges from $10.50 to $35 per image. We do not charge a "set-up" fee.

The Proofing Process:

1. Once we receive your file (or scan your original), we will print either a "single" or "double" proof of the full image (at a reduced size) and a detail (at full size) and mail it to you.

The advantage of a "double" proof is that it saves time and improves the chance that you will see a version that you like.

Once you receive your proof, compare it to your original art and contact us by phone or email for feedback. It is not necessary to return the proofs.

2. After the proof is approved, we will print your final order and mail it to you, generally within 5 business days.
