Art from your art...
Giclee printing is a process for making fine art reproduction prints. Artists commonly use this printing process to make high end reproductions of their original art work for resale. Giclee prints are generally more expensive than traditional print, as the process is more time consuming, uses higher quality paper, and requires more pigment. Although the actual cost per print is more, this process can be an economical alternative to limited edition prints, as the artist can print and sell each print to match demand. At Robi's we are proud to offer this service to our local artist community. Our Giclee printing process is widely used to make high quality, superior reproductions. Bring us your one of a kind artwork and we do the rest. We will photograph it, save a digital file to disk for your continued use, and create a giclee reproduction closely matching your original. If you choose to have your image printed to canvas, we can also stretch your canvas, and apply a protective glaze. This glaze can be applied following your original brush strokes in order to mimic the feel of your art work. It not only gives a "painted" feel to your reproduction, it also acts as a protectant against dust, scratches, moisture and fading caused by sunlight.
